Happy New Year!🎉 Hello 2026!

Hello friends and Happy New Year! We made it! Now it’s time to welcome 2026!

There are SO many things that happened this past year that I couldn’t even imagine, but they are all locked into memory now! It’s time to see what 2026 has in store for us next!

After sending out my Christmas cards, I always seem to forget to send one to someone, so I made a batch of New Year’s cards just in case and I ended up sending all of those out as well! I will have to make more if another one comes late! LOL

These were fun to put together using the Taylored Expressions New Year Bundle. I mainly used the Foil It – Shine On New Year and the Foil It – Acetate Framed Fireworks sheets. I foiled the numbers panel in gold and then the fireworks panel is clear acetate to layer over top of it that I foiled in silver. Fairly easy to do once you get them all foiled up and then just assemble together. I then cut out a Frame in Frame 3 in black cardstock to attach the acetate panel to and then layered it over the white foiled panel. I attached these onto a side folding A2 white card base.

To add a bit more sparkle with the shine, I die cut some different sized stars from the TE Little Bits-Stars dies in both silver and gold glitter cardstock. I added them randomly over the design.

Zooming in and looking at the background, you can better see all of the foil with the acetate and how it layers together along with the sparkly stars.

For a little more decoration, I took the TE 5 O’Clock Somewhere Stamp & Stencil Combo to stamp, add color to the champagne drink and then cut it out with the coordinating die. I only needed that one drink from the stamp, so I stamped several (I made a set of 6 cards) with needing two glasses for each card. I put one glass in front of the other and made it look like they were clinking together. I attached them at the bottom of the left side of card and then covered the liquid inside the glasses with a glitter brush pen.

I didn’t take a photo of the inside of the cards, but if you get a chance, check out these funny insiders panels from TE called Snarky New Year. I thought these were so fun and I foiled all of these in gold as well. Love using those Insiders so that I can quickly just attach something on the inside and not worry about stamping everything.

Thanks so much for dropping in today! Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year my friends!

December AJ Page-Winter Memories

Hello friends! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas in whatever way you chose to spend it! It was wonderful to celebrate the season with loved ones for sure! So many memories were made this year and lots to celebrate!

Speaking of “Memories”, this will be my last Art Journal Page and my collaboration with the monthly “SMASH OUR STASH” Art Journaling. I’ve collaborated with my crafty friend Carol (from Crafty-Stamper) to join in. (Check out her page HERE!) Here’s my final AJ page with the DECEMBER prompt of “MEMORIES”:

I thought that the “memories” prompt would be a good one to use for the end of the year. It’s a way for me to reflect back at all of the memories that were made throughout the year. Plus, with the winter weather outside, it’s a good time to stay indoors where it’s warm and rock a baby perhaps!😉 When my new grandson came over, it was a pleasure to rock him in the very same rocking chair that I had rocked my children in as well! This brought up special memories of my grown children now with their own baby! So I made a scene with winter outside, rocking my baby and the grandfather clock I have next to it. (Which is a similar scene from my home.)

BACKGROUND: I started by printing out the poem on a piece of cardstock in brown and then cut it down to the side 8.5″ x 5.5″ with the poem being in horizontal to the left.

I took some masking paper and ripped a piece that would fit over and cover the poem so that I could do some watercolor. Before the watercolor began, I took a “gears” stencil and covered up the top right corner with dimensional paste and let it dry. Once it dried and the poem still covered with masking paper, I used my Zig Kuretake watercolor to go over the background by creating a floor and going over the paste. I also did some splattering brown watercolor and white opaque Copic ink. while the mask was still on, I also took a background stamp and randomly stamped in brown ink over some of the areas. Then I used the same brown ink and sponged around the edges. Lastly, I took some gold metallic paste to go around the edges as well as the texture on the stenciled paste.

For the images, I found a watercolor image of someone rocking a baby and printed it out and fussy cut it out to pop up with foam tape on the page. I used Copic markers to create more of the stars underneath the image as well as “grounding” for the grandfather clock. (This way I knew where my “flooring” would be.)

The grandfather clock was a sticker from my stash and then for the window, I stamped it with brown ink over kraft cardstock and then again in white cardstock. I did this so that I could cut out the center of the window to make it show what’s going on outside which is winter! I stamped snowflakes and used my Copic to create a cold looking window with snow shadows! I also used some blue ink to randomly stamp some snowflakes around the page next to the poem.

Here’s a closer view of the poem. I’ve seen this poem when my children were babies themselves and I’ve always loved it. The “memories” sentiment came from a rub-on transfer in my stash.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my page today and I hope you enjoyed seeing all of the pages that both Carol and I have shared throughout the last THREE years! Wow, can’t believe that was how long I did these! I really enjoyed the process!

Thanks so much for stopping by as I really appreciate your thoughts! I’ll be seeing you soon!

Merry Christmas!

It’s Christmas Eve and it’s almost here! Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! Hope that you enjoy the warmth and excitement of the season with the ones you love.

This is a Christmas card I had made last month using some Scrapbook.com products that I wanted to try out! If you take a look at THIS POST, there is another card version using this same ornament stamp set. I had gotten the Holiday stamps and dies plus papers and other die cut sentiments in a bundle.

On another note, I had made a set of 18 other Christmas cards that I totally forgot to take photos of and they’ve already been sent out! I like how they turned out and was happy to use some more papers from my stash anyway! LOL

I had also been making some Christmas here and there throughout the year that I did remember to take photos of and that I didn’t share here on my blog, so here are some more:

This was a fun mitten shaped snowman gift card holder/tag I made back in January. I think I may have already given this out too. That was a while ago, so don’t remember much about it!

I made a slimline style tri-fold card in February using a My Favorite Things image (the little girl). I ink blended a stencil on the front and the sentiment was printed out on the computer. The photos below are what it looks like when you open the card up:

Click on photos to enlarge if you’re on my website

I used a circle die to cut the openings and added a snow drift from glitter cardstock for the girl to stand on, on the inside panel. The last inside circle panel was stamped with a snowflake stamp and I colored the snowflakes with a white gel pen and then added a stamped greeting underneath it.

This is an actual greeting card that opens up, but I made the front of the card look like a post card with the stenciled edges and post markings on it. I made this one last month.

I colored up this digital image from Whimsy Stamps and hand cut it out over the card. The sentiment was printed from the computer and cut out as well.

Another card I made last month using one of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamp sets called Winter Skies. I also used the Stitched Mountain Borders dies for the background.

I ink blended a couple of blue colors for the main panel in the background, stamped the Santa and sleigh image in black and then arranged the mountain border. I added a piece of vellum and used a falling snow embossing folder over it before adding the snow hills with glitter cardstock over it. I covered the edges with a gold mirror cardstock frame and added to the red A2 top folding card base. I colored, cut out the critters and trees and placed them on the scene. Lastly, I white heat embossed the sentiment from the set and cut out with a banner die to place under the critters.

I almost forgot to take a photo of this one too, but it’s now hanging on the tree before it gets gifted.

I had to make a handmade ornament for my grandson’s first Christmas! It’s actually a wooden shaped ornament that I painted the back red and the top/sides in gold acrylic paints. I then used some snowflake paper and covered the front. Then I turned this into a shaker by adding an additional circle with acetate on the front. The Santa comes from a Doodlebug stamp set and the lettering was printed from the computer that I hand cut and added to the front.

And this is the little guy at Thanksgiving with me! Love that toothless smile! Looking forward to spending some time with him at Christmas for sure!

Wishing you lots of joy and smiles for Christmas! Thanks for dropping in!

R is for Ribbon

Hello friends and happy busy December to you! It’s that time of the year and things start getting really busy with Christmas activities! I’ve been working on lots of different things, but it seems hard to take the time out to photograph it and post about it! LOL Maybe when things settle down a bit for me, I can post some of it!

Today marks another new challenge for the Alphabet Challenge Blog! Our next letter is “R”, and our hostess Billie has chosen “Ribbon”. I hope you will join in the fun with us! (This will be the last challenge of the year until they start back up in January with the letter “S”) *Please remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter.* Here’s the project I’ve made for this challenge:

I really enjoyed making this one and I was very happy to pull some more items out from my stash to use up for this challenge! Ribbon is something that I have so much of and don’t use it as often as what I used to!

For my card front, I took a red base and die cut a large star from it keeping in mind that I wanted to add a sentiment at the bottom. I used an embossing folder and then rubbed a metallic gold ink pad over the raised areas to make it stand out a bit and set it aside.

For behind the star, I took another thin cardstock panel slightly smaller than the red star panel and covered it with double sided strong adhesive. I then took some stitched ribbon in red and green as well as the thin metallic gold ribbon and layered them in a strip pattern over the entire panel. I kept in mind where the star opening would be. I then layered the red star panel over it and attached it to a top folding A2 kraft card base.

I die cut a smaller star in kraft cardstock for the center of the star opening and added a gold gem in the center of it. I also took the thin gold ribbon and attached it from the top of the star around the red base and then added a bow above it. Lastly, I just gold heat embossed the sentiment, die cut with the coordinating die and popped it up under the star with a foam strip.

Just a note that this will be my final project as a design team member for the Alphabet Challenge. I have enjoyed working on this team and wish Caz all the best in the coming year for her challenges. I appreciate the kind support.

I will try to get another post in before Christmas is here, if I can find the time to share the things that I’ve been working on. I also have another art journal page to share before the end of the year as well. Thanks so much for stopping by as I enjoy hearing from you! Enjoy the Holiday Season as it approaches and take care of yourself.

Mix It Up by Keeping it Simple!

Hello friends! Happy November! It seems like I was just thinking about Autumn with cooler temps…and now we’re getting REAL close to Christmas and the end of the year! Time is going so quickly! Are you getting your Christmas cards started yet?

So let’s take a moment for ourselves and work on keeping life simple! This brings me to a new challenge over at the Mix It Up Challenge Blog. The challenges always run for 6 weeks so there is plenty of time to enter. The theme given for us this time is: KIS (Keep It Simple) or you can always do the ‘Anything Goes” too. Here’s the card that I came up with for the challenge using the theme:

I thought that “keeping it simple” for Christmas cards and getting down to the wire for making them and sending out would be a good thought for this challenge!

I pulled out this cute Scrapbook.com stamp set called “Holiday” to create a simple design with the solid bauble images and added a few heat embossed elements over two of them and then heat embossed a hook for each. I heat embossed the sentiment in gold to match the hooks and then just stamped a couple of doo-dads around the panel and drew lines from the ornament hooks coming off the edge with a gold fine line pen. That’s pretty much it! I did die cut a few “Mini Bows” from Taylored Expressions for each ornament. Then I layered the ornament panel onto gold and then onto a white A2 card base.

This would certainly be a very easy design to mass produce using the MISTI tool.

I hope you like my card and will stop by the challenge blog to see what the rest of the design team has created too! *NOTE* This is the last project that I’m making for this challenge blog as I have decided to step down from the design team. Thank you to Tina for having me as part of the challenge team this year and keeping the blog running. Best wishes for the coming year!

Thanks so much for dropping in today! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

K is for Keep It Simple (CAS)

Hello friends and happy Friday! The weather has decided to cool down quite a bit over the last couple of days and it’s been very nice to have the windows open for a change! I think we’re supposed to have another spell of warm weather, but I’ll take the cool down for now!

Today is a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog! Our next letter is “K”, and the hostess has chosen “K is for KEEP IT SIMPLE” (CAS style) *Please remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter.* I hope you’ll join in the fun with us. Here’s the project I’ve made for this challenge:

That cat is not a fan of winter! LOL I do love me some snark for the Holidays, so I thought this stamp set called “Holiday Grumplings” (retired stamp set) from Taylored Expressions would be great for a simple Holiday card.

I also think that CAS style cards are great for pulling out those left over scraps from your papers for little strips to create a simple layout, so that’s what I did here. I stamped, colored with Copics the kitty and popped him/her up with foam tape over the snowflake strip.

Lastly, I just added a light brush with pink ink to the left of the kitty and then gold heat embossed the sentiment over it. Placed the white panel over a pink A2 sized top folding card base and done.

I’m happy to report that I’ve spent some time going through my stash of cards and realized that I have several already finished and ready for sending out Christmas cards! So I’m basically DONE for Christmas cards! Yay! The first time ever that I’m ready ahead of time! NOW…hopefully I’ll send them out on time too! LOL

Hope you’ve enjoyed my card today and helped to inspire you to “KEEP YOUR CRAFTING SIMPLE” and join us for the challenge! Look forward to seeing what you make! Thanks so much for stopping in today!

For Someone You Love at Sparkles Monthly

Hello friends! I hope that you had a great Valentine’s Day yesterday however you chose to celebrate it! We chose to stay indoors where it’s warm and watch a movie!

And speaking of love, this brings us to the February challenge over at Sparkles Monthly and for this month, our hostess is asking for a “Love Card (for anyone you love)” . Be sure to stop by the blog to see what the rest of the design team has created for you. Here’s my project for this challenge:

Aren’t these heart sweaters adorable?! I had fun making a couple of cards to send to my kids (whom I love) for Valentine’s Day. I was actually able to create two similar cards using a stencil set that allows you to make 4 sweaters at one time.

I love the Taylored Expressions Sweater Weather Stencil Set that you can ink blend up to four different sweaters at once. This had previous come out for Christmas, but in December, they came out with a cute Valentine line to go with this stencil. So I gold foiled a panel from the TE Foil It-Valentine Sweater Weather pack and then to decorate the sweaters, I used the TE Dinky Decorations Valentine die set. I wanted more hearts, so I die cut a few extra to place around the background.

Speaking of the background, I used the TE Lots of Love 3D embossing folder and then sponged a bit of white over the hearts so they stood out a bit more. I also die cut the A2 Thin Frame die for a gold mirror frame. The sentiment came from the TE Love & Hugs stamp set.

And here’s a closer look at the other card I made. I know I could’ve used just one sweater for each card, but I thought these sweaters were too cute, so I decided to use all of them! I’m thinking one of my sons would probably wear a sweater like one of these and the other would think it’s ridiculous! LOL Regardless, at least they each know that they are loved by me!

I also had these fun TE Snarky Valentine Insiders panels that I gold foiled. I have to share some snark with those I love too! LOL (Click on the photos above to enlarge them if you’re on my website.)

I thought I’d share another card I had made for someone I love that was given to my husband for Valentine’s Day yesterday. (Sometimes, I have to wait until he gets it before I share!):

This pup and his boing heart hat cracks me up! Look at that face! I actually made this last month during a Craft Roulette challenge. I decided that I liked it so much that I put a Valentine greeting on it for my husband to give him on Valentine’s Day.

I used the Taylored Expressions Puppy Love (retired) stamp set and colored in this cute pup with Copic markers and die cut him out. I stamped the TE Gingham Check BG Stamp in black ink over red cardstock. I splattered some white Copic Opaque over top.

For the lace, I white heat embossed the border stamp from the TE Flip the Lace stamp/die (retired) over the Toffee cardstock and placed beneath the check background piece. I added a black strip between the two and then popped the dog on it. I stamped the “Seriously” from the pup stamp set and the Valentine greeting from the lace stamp set together and fussy cut them out to pop up with foam tape on the card. I added a few white hearts around the pup. The entire card is a mini slim from a pre-cut and scored Toffee card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you enjoyed these “love” cards or have been inspired to make and send a card to someone you love too! I look forward to seeing what you share in the gallery this month!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

December Art Journal Page-SNOW

**DON’T FORGET TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY I’M OFFERING IN THIS POST – OR SCROLL BELOW THIS POST TO SEE!**

Hello crafty friends! I hope that you all had a happy Christmas time with your loved ones and friends! 2025 is quickly approaching us and I know there will be lots of changes coming to look forward to! Although I’m not feeling 100%, so I think I’m going to rest for the remainder of what’s left of the year🤒.

Today is the monthly Art Journal Page collaboration with my crafty friend, Carol (from Crafty-Stamper)! We get creative trying to use up our never-ending stash piles along with a prompt for each month. I know she always has great inspiration to share, so please check out her blog too! Here’s my AJ page with the “SMASH OUR STASH” December prompt of “FOUND OBJECT(S)” (something you found or discovered): (I’ve also combined 2 other past prompts with this one that I’ve missed out on earlier in the year!)

SNOW SNOW SNOW! I know people that hate it and people that love it! Whatever YOUR favorite place to be with it…or not…mine is being inside the warmth and watching it from the window! I don’t mind shoveling if I need to help my husband, but I enjoy watching it peacefully from the window.

The prompt for THIS month (December) is “Found object(s)” and I found some VERY pretty blue ribbon on a present this year and decided to keep it…and I have plenty left for another project! I used it above the die cut window. (This page is my normal 5.5″ x 8.5″ with pre-punched holes at the top…I would have a book finished, but I wasn’t feeling well enough to get one done, so I’ll have to do it later.)

And for the other prompts I’ve missed this year: August I was away and didn’t get to complete that one and the prompt for that month was “Vintage/Old“. The background wallpaper area looks vintage to me and it came from a VERY old pack of paper that I’ve had along with the letters on the side of the window. I also missed November and the prompt for that month was “Food“. I love me a good cup of cocoa in the winter and I thought I would make myself some Linzer cookies to add with it in the shape of snowflakes with frosting on them! I even took a bite out of the one in front of the cup!

Since I’m not feeling well, I’m going to stop typing and get some sleep now. Please let me know if you have any questions about the page as I’d be happy to answer!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in! I really appreciate it and will try to reciprocate when I feel better. Happy New Year friends and I’ll see you in 2025!

Wishing you and yours a VERY Merry Christmas with lots of joy and love!

(I will be back after Christmas (Saturday) to share an art journal page with you!)

Christmas Transport at Sparkles Monthly-It’s almost Christmas!

Hey friends! Wow, how in the world did Christmas get here so darn fast?! I feel like we just got through Thanksgiving and then things were a blur after that!😳 So, I’m also now realizing that it’s been a whole month since I’ve posted! YIKES!

Since it IS December…and the middle of it…that means today starts the December challenge over at Sparkles Monthly and for this month, our hostess is asking to see Christmas Transport on your project. Be sure to stop by the blog to see what the rest of the team has created for you. Here’s my project for this challenge:

For me, Christmas transport is not planes, trains or anything busy or noisy, but something a little more outdoors around the countryside. There’s nothing better than a good road trip with snow falling and the smell of fresh pine in the air! I live in an area where there are lots of tree farms to pick out your perfect tree. (Do I pick out a real tree? Nope…but I do love them and the smell. Just not the mess. LOL) I prefer to visit the trees and not chop one down.

I’ve used the adorable Inky Stamper set called Vintage Truck and I’ve decided to add the tree image to the back of his truck as he’s taking it home to decorate for Christmas! I’ve fussy cut the image out after coloring and even added a snowflake stamp to the truck door from the Inky Stamper Toboggan stamp set. I’ve also stamped a few more along with the larger snowflake and cut out to add to the background of the card.

For the background, I’ve used some paper from the Lisa Horton A Festive Tapestry pack as it was perfect for a landscape of trees. At the bottom, I’ve used the road die from Lawn Fawn and then placed it over my tree landscape and added the truck over it by popping up with foam tape so it looks like he’s on the road.

So while making this card, I had the song stuck in my head and so I found a perfect sentiment to go with it from the Inky Stamper Tree stamp set. I white heat embossed over a green piece and cut out a banner to add to the top left of the card. Everything was placed over a white A2 top folding card base and I lastly added some Iridescent Clear Drops in the center of the snowflakes.

Hope you’ve enjoyed my card for you today and I hope that you’ll hop on over to the challenge blog and play along! I’d love to see what you come up with!
