Of the four challenges taking place, I chose to enter challenge #1 which is a Toffee (kraft) & Rainbow combo. I know that most people will go with the ROYGBP, bright and cheery colors (which I LOVE) but I decided to change it up a little and include the toffee color in my rainbow.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrMFs3YUyGhXZ2Hm8Jb2meJ-U8V9Kc-M77S7r5mo1Vj_A6WE7wPDhjcwsYCDAhbDyETxbiOtDobf57e8UN4HtOssK6qwq-Crf4YTr6cVYHLDtTqk3wl59qncgxslnMn1v3VfjPGqWpe6oU/s1280/IMG_0779+blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="965" data-original-width="1280" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrMFs3YUyGhXZ2Hm8Jb2meJ-U8V9Kc-M77S7r5mo1Vj_A6WE7wPDhjcwsYCDAhbDyETxbiOtDobf57e8UN4HtOssK6qwq-Crf4YTr6cVYHLDtTqk3wl59qncgxslnMn1v3VfjPGqWpe6oU/w640-h482/IMG_0779+blog.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div style="text-align: center;">I started out with the TE Over The Rainbow dies, choosing a pallet of soothing colors that I would like to use for a future baby card.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">With the TE Over The Rainbow sentiments stamps, I added "You make me happy when skies are grey" to the edge of the sun and heat embossed with white powder.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The sentiment "Hello, friend" is from the TE Butterfly Sweet Sentiments set. For some simple finishing touches, I sewed around the card edges and added Star Dust Stickles to the edges of the white clouds. I had thought about adding sequins or raindrops but after playing with them for a while, it took away from the sweet simplicity I was looking for. Oh well...</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Thank You so much for stopping by and taking a look.

Happy Friday and Welcome to my little corner of the crafting world!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Tomorrow the hubster leaves for his annual finishing trip. What's a girl to do for an entire week all by herself? Absolutely anything and nothing she feels like doing. I'm starting out by stopping by my favorite country goodies store, The Rustic Hutch. They're having a sale and I'll be </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">going there directly after dropping the guys at the airport.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">:D I also plan to work on cards.

I used my scoring board for the lines in the lid and an embossing folder for the wood grain around the jar cut.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7yodUUBeRsD2mWp4N-yc2ir0vOkdfpLzjxvJQ_1rufXes-KzoChsM3OV6HVFm_DCVI_o6-SNlrN0JCZahSuAJlXy6TVUwDhXhhFz3S_wlUJ4-FMujAHsAShGOFAMbNBDsQLOqLNGIVc6S/s800/IMG_0774+blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="618" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7yodUUBeRsD2mWp4N-yc2ir0vOkdfpLzjxvJQ_1rufXes-KzoChsM3OV6HVFm_DCVI_o6-SNlrN0JCZahSuAJlXy6TVUwDhXhhFz3S_wlUJ4-FMujAHsAShGOFAMbNBDsQLOqLNGIVc6S/w494-h640/IMG_0774+blog.jpg" width="494" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The sweet fox, trees and words are a set from Papertrey Ink called Winter Fox and the snowflake is Snowfall Style 1 dies, also by Papertrey Ink.

Welcome to my little corner of the crafting world.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Remember in my last post how I said I love this time of year? Well, I do but the reality is setting in and things are already getting hectic. I've started making some of my holiday gifts, creating a new crochet pattern for the sweetest candy cane pillows, stitching glass beads on felt pine trees which will be car air fresheners/scented ornaments, I have yet to decide on a design for my Christmas cards and I have less than three months to get it all done. Yes, I celebrate Thanksmas. My family converges on my home from various states as far away as Pennsylvania. This way, there is no argument or tug of war with the in-law families about who's going to which house on Christmas. Thanksmas is mine.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">So with all of that going on, I still have to do the normal day to day stuff; clean the house, make dinner, do dishes, laundry and make cards for all of the rest of the celebrations of life. You know how it is.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqDm27umZtG7x4boZ21Yty1IkPuh_zwTQHshBtVQx_8L3QpPcDUF925ESSrJb13brNWmZBeGO6pfZaOYQWoM-u29taQLgmjIEQliPo-eMM1Vx3CLLA4TfzlmxOLxe3m54hIdszOSWzCJ0q/s800/IMG_0749+blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="645" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqDm27umZtG7x4boZ21Yty1IkPuh_zwTQHshBtVQx_8L3QpPcDUF925ESSrJb13brNWmZBeGO6pfZaOYQWoM-u29taQLgmjIEQliPo-eMM1Vx3CLLA4TfzlmxOLxe3m54hIdszOSWzCJ0q/w516-h640/IMG_0749+blog.jpg" width="516" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;">For this card I couldn't wait to try out some of my new goodies from the Papertrey Ink sale.

I cannot believe this many months have gone by since my last post. Not that I haven't been making cards, I just haven't posted them. Sure, I take photos of them most of the time, but taking the time to post them has been beyond my scope for a while. While editing these photos and just logging into this website, I have felt like a duck out of water.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I hope all of you are good and that you have all gotten through this past year without issue. My job at UPS pretty much pounded me into the dirt. We thought that with the lifting of restrictions and everyone able to go back out into the world and shop in physical stores like they did before, we would slow down and go back to normal. Well, that hasn't happened yet. Maybe this is the new normal. I know I'm not out there like I used to be...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">So without further ado, I have my latest make that I would like to share.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzKdYtrYms8nhpb0mta5QpnzZ0Bcjwqv7Cv4L5jA2jOXaC7cSttTByFKbixhyphenhyphenaZ0DwV4Rd12n5K_8w1T-TgGZ1c9rXv1nnII0N1n3WY-hmDnFawjkcv6qsPl65F00Szmy61_niJLaI06lQ/s800/blog+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzKdYtrYms8nhpb0mta5QpnzZ0Bcjwqv7Cv4L5jA2jOXaC7cSttTByFKbixhyphenhyphenaZ0DwV4Rd12n5K_8w1T-TgGZ1c9rXv1nnII0N1n3WY-hmDnFawjkcv6qsPl65F00Szmy61_niJLaI06lQ/w640-h480/blog+1.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I have fallen in love with layered stamps and stencils with coordinating dies, especially since it seems I have more and more cards that I need to make.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqAY0hbuJD1G0s9bK60bsd9jc7Ud47tdNmA60Tc7PB-UY1tKQ4MqwQ0YExtgSD0ZKjUFZOvxbxpvdBm5KTSk0PFiiY6oTqnHKQcpXhvap9GCcQoIcqLwQwBp-kvLyetFTTrApQTGpTy80s/s800/blog+3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqAY0hbuJD1G0s9bK60bsd9jc7Ud47tdNmA60Tc7PB-UY1tKQ4MqwQ0YExtgSD0ZKjUFZOvxbxpvdBm5KTSk0PFiiY6oTqnHKQcpXhvap9GCcQoIcqLwQwBp-kvLyetFTTrApQTGpTy80s/w640-h480/blog+3.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The majority of my supplies are by Papertrey Ink.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello My Crafty Friends! I hope you had a most wonderful holiday season. By now, I imagine, all of your decorations are down and things are pretty much back to normal. I must confess, my tree is still up with the lights on but ornaments are put away. I took my time with it because September thru December is the busiest time at my job. I work full time, plus some over time during those months and I do not have much time to decorate, or craft for that matter. So I got all of my decorations up on Christmas Eve and enjoyed them until New Year's Eve. Then we went to Philadelphia to spend a week with my youngest daughter. So yes, I was reluctant to take them down. I should get the tree back into the garage some time tomorrow. (sigh....)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So now that things have calmed down, I'm happy to say that I'm back at my desk working on projects. I have a lot of ideas and things I'm chomping at the bit to start. Here is my first make for this year; a little wintry scene since Arizona doesn't get much snow for me to enjoy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This little guy is made with a snowman die by Magnolia Sweden from their DooHickey's club vol. 12 (Noel). He didn't come with a scarf so I did make him one. The beautiful stamp I used around him is called Snowy Circle, also by Magnolia.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I cut my own large tag from chipboard and layered it with cardstock and corrugated card. All patterned paper is by Nitwit Designs and I embossed white card for the snowy ground.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I ♥ die cuts! Most of the dies I used for this project are by Magnolia with the exception of the leaf die, that one is by Sizzix. I used Versa Mark and Frantage to give those leaves some bling. The fern, by Magnolia, is from DooHickey's club vol. 7 (The Holidays Are Coming) and that gorgeous snowflake is from DooHickey's club vol. 23 (Joyeux Noel).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For this little tag, I used a die that I thought I would never use. It's from the 2017 Galaxy collection and it turns out it's super cute. The little snowflake is part of the So Wrapped Snowflake die set.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can remember my mom saying that the older you get, the faster time goes. She was absolutely right! I thought that once I became an empty nester, things would slow down... HA! I'm much busier now than I was before and there are never enough minutes in a day for me to accomplish everything that I want to. That being said, I cannot believe that it's less than two months until Christmas. I planned to have everything done by now but I have accomplished nothing except for starting to write out a list of things to do. :p</span></div>

Funny how that happens most of the time, that my projects end up being different than the original plan...</span></div>

The beautiful glittery Stars are also from Club #12.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you know, I rarely make a card or anything else without coloring up a character stamp. However, in the instances when I'm making cards for an older male, cute and adorable characters tend to not be the way to go.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here I have made this 25th anniversary card using the gorgeous <a href="http://magnoliastamps.us/the-vintage-box-from-magnolia/pre-order-vintage-box-fifth-edition/?zenid=js9j6err56nvbr5bvtnb57bqu4" target="_blank">Magnolia Stamps Vintage Box, 5th Edition</a>. It has a very vintage, romantic, shabby chic vibe and as you may have noticed, I am getting a lot of use out of this large doily heart die. I believe I've used it three times already this year... The little bird and small feather are also from this set.</span></div>

I can't get enough of that dreamy, romantic, vintagy, shabby chic style and I
