Hi Friends
Humpday! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cccccccold here!
Oh the weather has changed so much in just a few days here. We had a huge storm last weekend that destroyed our brand new gazebo. We could swear we had a tornado go through here, it was loud and scary. But since then, we went from high 80F or 20C to almost freezing in one day. I still don't like Winter LOL. It seems it is here much faster this time. Time to go on another trip hee hee hee
Janet B.R. I love your cards so much Janet. I think I will prepare a few cards to stitch when I am going on my next trip. I will have my children type scissors with me which they allow us to have for cutting thread hee hee but we will see. Anyhow, your cards are so inspiring to me, I just feel like going to make my own as soon as I see yours. Thank you for for gorgeous shares once again Janet. Stay well, I know I have missed you around. :)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Eithne H. What a delight! A lot of work but so rewarding! It is a real keepsake! That's fantastic Eithne, thank you for your beautiful shares. I know I can't get enough of them, you gals are totally awesome! Thank you :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Debbie K. You are such a wonderful addition to this group. I love your style of card making and the fact that you love shoes hee hee, right in my alley girl! Wonderful work. The last card is not from one of my sheets so don't look for it hee hee hee. :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Carol B. You are so versatile, Iris folding, some stitching (gorgeous), Cuttlebug backgrounds plus tea bag folding, girl you keep it interesting and I love them all. Thank you for the fantastic shares, every single card is worthy of its own ovation. Thanks :)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Bev K. Your version of this car is fantabulous girl! I love it. The cuttlebug circle and perhaps the use of nestabilities circles? not sure. But whatever it was, it is gorgeous. Excellent work Bev! :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
That's all for today ladies! I hope you are enjoying your week. We are leaving soon for another week, will let you know when to hold all emails. This is important to me so when I say hold emails LOL HOLD! This way when I come home I am not fearful of my full mailbox to go through. So I will let you know more details as we get closer.
Nicole :)

Hi friends
I hope you all have some fun plans for the weekend. It is fun to always look forward to some time off from what we do all week and sit down around our precious goodies in our crafting dedicated area, craft room, studio and let the mind create! Since Christmas is arriving so quickly it is now time to really get our ideas (mojo) going and stay ahead of things. Making 2 similar cards a week will help you stay ahead. It takes so very little time to make a second card with a slight difference to the second one, enough to say it is not the same but who will know? At least you idea is there but you double up on the production. You keep the second one for an emergency needed card if needed.
Thank you for all the beautiful cards you are sending day after day and today is no exception to the fabulous creativity you all show in your gorgeous shares, so here they are for today:
Janet B.R. Oh my goodness! What is there to say! Janet one again you left me with my jaw dropping from admiration in from of your gorgeous cards. I will leave the rest to the imagination as I am sure I am not the only one being so stunned! Thank you so much and very well done my friend! :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Wendy G. Your cards are so beautiful I love your version of the coot on the scooter. It is a popular guy for many fun reasons. I also wanted to tell you that I tried to correct what the scanner left on the cards the grey shadow and it could only make it worst. Sorry about the blurred images. Well done Wendy! :)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Carmel R. Wonderful to see the two 3D as I had never seen the chef made into a card yet. He is one of my fav chef, thank you for the card I love it, it will be appreciated I am sure. A keepsake no doubt! Thanks :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Lis C. (Momsemor) Wow the two cards are so beautiful I love the folded doors and the peel off use on them both the Hydrangia is exquisite! Thank you for sharing them Lis. :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Kathy B. Your cards are so beautiful thank you so much for sharing. I love the baby snow person I wish you well for the challenge you entered this card at. Both cards are lovely :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Hilda S. I have to tell you the pink flamingo is an all time favorite. I love the accordeon fold for the body. Very clever Hilda! Love it! Love'em both! :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Gerry F. your 2 cards are terrific! The lady in pink is a popular one and one of my favorites. I love your version of it! Well done! :)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
That's all for today ladies! I hope you have had the chance to see the latest sheets I added to the PB yesterday. If not, go see them, there is a lot more for Christmas and all other folders it was a total of 140 sheets and matching backgrounds. I know I spoil you, but you make it easy for me to want to!

Hi friends
Whewwwww! I feel like a whirlwind has gone through my computer. hee hee It is better now but when I don't say to hold all the emails and I can't take them while I am on the road it is a scary sight when I come back home hee hee. So now that I have cleaned up and got all the cards together I will start sending them tomorrow.
There is no specific order of cards I post, as there was so many emails I will just post them as I go so bear with me, your card will make it sometime this week. All gorgeous cards I may add so I will quickly comment but just know that all cards are so very much appreciated, you are quite a talented bunch and I am proud to call you my friends!
Thank you for all the Birthday cards I received as well as the warm Birthday wishes you have sent me by email, I counted 52 greetings! You are awesome! Thank you so so much! If I have missed yours it is because I haven't received it yet. But when I do receive it I will post it the next day!
