Bring It On

Oh Yes ... it's that time of year when we celebrate upcoming Holidays ... especially with Close To My Heart Holiday Expressions.   You're going to see several of great ideas for the CTMH Holiday Expressions.  If you're hopping along, you just came from Haley's Blog

I had the opportunity to go to Convention so I've had the Holiday Expressions Idea Book for some time.  As soon as I saw the Scrap Page using our new stamp set "With You" (Pg 20) I knew then what pictures I was going to scrap. These were taken last Thanksgiving.  Our first time going to our oldest DS House for the holiday since he couldn't come home.   We had such a wonderful time together.  You realize that all "traditions" are made to be set aside when there are new ones available.  This was one of them, LOL!   Good times!

There's so many wonderful new stamps and papers in the Holiday Expression!   Keep hopping along to see more creative ideas from our SOTM Blog Hop Team!  Your next stop is Brenda's Blog

Oh Dear

it's coming ... cold weather .... it's coming, ugh.   Today my card is for the first "Hope You Can Cling" Challenge at SCS .  The challenge is to make a card showcasing your least favorite weather , for me it's cold and snow I don't like.  Ugh.   Maybe someday I'll live further south and will just see pictures of the white stuff,  haha!   For now though, shopping for new boots.

I used the sketch over at Sketch Frenzy Friday 100215.   Enjoy!

Celebrate Home

I'm so happy to be home this week ... no travel.  I'll be back out next week but these last 2 weeks have been a blessing to enjoy the comforts of home ... aahhh!   This is inspired by this week's Retro Sketches #184.   I loved these images from my new CTMH Cricut Cartridge Artistry.

Hello Fall

Whew, Fall blew into Ohio this weekend and it has really brought cooler temps but some lovely color leaves.  I was inspired by the pretty colors swirling around the yard. 

I used CAS(E) Sketch #143.  Fun, fun!
