Sweet Gatherings

  Serendipity is having a challenge, that is going on right now over at their blog and I think everyone should join in. After all the challenge is HAVE A HEART and I know everyone in this card community has a heart by all your wonderful comments! I am looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful HEART cards! Here I used the Heart Scroll Die, the design is so delicate looking, just fabulous!  Have a beautiful day! Nancy

Hello, it sure is nice to get back into a routine again.  The kids are back to school, the Christmas tree is down and everything is put away again for another year. Soon it will be time for Valentine cards, flowers and chocolate treats. I am entering this card for Crazy 4 Challenges C4C167 , Stampin' for the Weekend and Totally Gorjuss.   Have a great day! Nancy

Papertrey is having a challenge called chalkboard technique #98 by Betsy.  The stamps sets I used is Quilled Elegance, Funky Florals and Inside Out Birthdays. I enjoyed this technique more than I thought I would. Today is my son, Matthew's 22 birthday! I thought he would enjoy this card and he did. Time goes by so fast. Take care, Nancy

 The challenge over at CASology is NEW.  I received some new stamps and I found sometime to make thank you cards during this wonderful holiday. The stamp set I used is called Quilled Elegance by Maile from PTI.  I colored the design with copics and used glossy accents on everything that is pink. Happy New Year everyone! Nancy

Good morning, Serendipity Stamps is having  a winter birthday challenge #2.  I recently purchased some of their stamps and I am very pleased with them.  The stamp that I used here is called Winter Farm. I really enjoy the winter scenes with lots of snow out in the countryside. Today is one of those days we are receiving a lot of snow, schools are closed, probably almost in the whole state of Wisconsin. I love these days, you get to hug and snuggle indoors.  Below I took a couple of pictures peeking out my front door this morning around 8:30 am. We should get anywhere between 9 and 14 inches of SNOW!!!  It is beautiful, crisp and clean! Enjoy your day and don't forget to check out Serendipity Blog for the challenge! Nancy

You've got mail!!! Papertrey's Make it Monday # 96.  Melissa made a gorgeous card on her video on patchwork die-cuts.  I decided to use the tiny envelope die for the patchwork focal point. I love how Melissa used the fancy flourishes but I don't have that stamp so I used the Turning a New Leaf stamp and added glittered hearts. There are two sizes of hearts in the Love Lives Here stamp set that I used, also using tag its #11 for the arrows and rows of hearts and for the sentiment I used Pretty Peonies. Finishing off the envelope I added a double flower of felt from Flower Fusion #3 die. Have a great day! Nancy

Good morning, Papertrey is having their Make-it-Monday challenge this week.  The challenge is Layered Glitter Shapes #95. I used tag sale #2, heart die and block alphabet upper case die. I couldn't decide which picture I liked best so I posted both.   Have a great day!! Nancy
