STAMPINHAPPYHEART.....

Today was a great day! I attended a workshop this morning at my Director's home. Every time I go I learn more and more things. I am really excited about it and love sharing. These are the cards we made today. Four Christmas and one Thanksgiving.

Isn't this little deer a cutie? I couldn't resist using this stamp! Christmas is such a great time of year and I love whimsy! It's not too early to start on your projects for Christmas. In fact sometimes I am working on Christmas projects in July. Who would know?

I love to use season appropriate colors for birthday greetings. Since October is so colorful outside when the leaves change.....what better than to use the same color theme in card making? This card uses brilliant orange, brown, green, vanilla and kraft (tan) colors. The front of the card is sewn with waxed linen thread and embellished with ribbon and die-cut flowers. Love it love it love it!

This is an idea for decorating paper bags. I love to paint and often paint on gift bags. This one is painted with acrylics. It doesn't take long to decorate or to dry. I have worked craft-shows in the past and these seem to sell well. I add tissue-paper and a little card. Voila!! This is also a great 'Trick Or Treat' bag.

I remember the many Thanksgivings my family celebrated through the years. Both of my Aunts hosted a glorious feast of turkey with all of the trimmings and Date-nut pudding! What grand memories of times long ago. This Thanksgiving greeting is a wonderful tribute to a special season of my life. © Stampin' Up!

This is a cute little Halloween greeting card I made today inspired by the fall colors and cooler weather! It seems when the seasons change....I get inspired to create. I love this time of year! Get inspired! It makes you feel great! © Stampin' Up!
