Almost the end of January

Well it's been awhile since I've posted but I've had lots to do. Gordie is back working until the end of this week, he'll be home for a week. Will be good to see him, but he said he is getting sick with a sore throat once again for his trip home. Not a happy camper. Will have to shower him with lots of Mom love chicken noodle soup.
  Well I finally got Moms calendar done for her. January may almost be over but she will have 2 days left once she gets the calendar. Better late than never.

I hope she likes it. She didn't have a calendar so I made her one.
I also finished our March calendar page.

All is green for March.
 I have been having trouble crafting with the mild, damp, drizzly weather we have been having. My hands don't seem to be co-operating for me so been laying low but I'm hoping to get some valentines done before Gordie comes home so I have one for him to hide in his bag. I know he's almost 30 years old but he's my boy.
 Well I think this is all for now, not much been happening. Till next time. Have a great day.

Chilly Saturday

Well here it is the weekend and not going to far today. It is one chilly day out there, even too cold for Gizmo. We had one turkey left in the freezer so we decided to cook that today and add some heat to the house.
 Today I put a quest out looking for anyone wanting cards made. I've had one request from our nephew. He was looking for a birthday card for his soon to be wife. Here is what I came up with and he liked it so I'll finish it up for him.

This style of card is called a Joy Fold and I also made it for a challenge calling for this style. Now that Christmas is over I'm looking for cards to make. Here some more that I have made since Christmas

These were made with my one new Timmy stencil "speckles" using distress crayons and the last one I used stickles to add some glitter.

Same stencil but used distress inks.

This one I used distress inks and then texture paste through the stencil

Another new stencil at Christmas "snowflakes" one I used distress crayons and the other inks.

One last stencil I already had in my Timmy stash "wildflowers" using distress crayons and then ink on the edge.
 
  Well I'm off to craft some more. Working on some calendar pages for Mom and then maybe play with some crazy cats and dogs. Have a great day and stay warm.

New Year a New Me

Well my first post ever. Well I made a promise to myself to try new things and this is the first of many I hope. 😃
 I retired earlier last year with the hopes of doing more crafting such as cardmaking, scrap my many pictures, crafting in the kitchen and in the garden come summer.
 Here are a couple of projects that I have done for the new year.

First time I've ever made calendar pages, it's a fun project that will commit me to the year. Another new thing, finish a project that I start.

Here is another card that I made yesterday. This was for a challenge to use certain colors. I used a new embossing folder and stamp.
I hope that I can challenge myself to bigger and better things this year creatively and personally. Wish me luck but with any luck I won't need it. Until next time, hopefully tomorrow, I will have more to talk about pictures to post and maybe a new project. Have a great day and happy crafting with whatever you do.
