Merry & Bright

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Recently I saw this tree on Susan's card and though I'm on a spending freeze,

it came to reside in my Christmas collection.

I thought it would be perfect for a Black and Red Challenge.

The tree was stamped and embossed. The shine gives the photo a bit of a gray look.

I assure you it is very black and shiny.

Challenges:

Color Hues #98 - Red & Black

Krafty Chicks #740 - ATG

NBUS #68 - Never Before Used Schtuff

Ink:   Versafine Onyx Black, Real Red

Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Black

Other:  Clear EP, Double Pierced Rectangles Die (AE), Gems (various), Stars (Queen & Co)

Faith Can Move Mountains

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

The trees are so pretty these days and I love seeing the leaves

gently falling to the ground.

I'm not too keen on raking but fortunately we have someone who

does that for us these days.

I've really enjoyed this embossing folder.  This time I gently sponged color on

the raised portions and added a bird and branch along with a sentiment

that I hope will be encouragement to a friend who has recently had a stroke.

I'm sure that coming back from that is like climbing a mountain.

Challenges:

Can You Handle the Pressure - Use an Embossing Folder (didn't use the option of pumpkins)

I.D.E.A.S. - Use Ink

Just Us Girls #751 - CASEing  (CASEd Lisa with the bird & Bobby with the Fall Leaves)

Triple B - Bird

Turning the Page November 2024

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Time to turn the page on our calendars to a new month.

I hope you enjoy my “Turning the Page” posts.

 

Here's our November page using Cones & Berries by Penny Black

colored with Distress Ink.

By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

 

If you would like a word document with the calendar, email me

Email link is on the sidebar.

Enjoy!
