Happy New Year!

Hello crafty friends, I sure hope everyone had a great Christmas. It was a good one here. I took time to really enjoy the season, so I'm behind in commenting once again. I will be getting back at commenting very soon. Happy New Year to everyone as well, hoping it's a great one for all of us! I'm also in wedding mode, Dwayne's cousin is getting married and I am doing everything "handmade" for the wedding. So far I've done the "save the dates" and they are out. Invitations are next.

I am posting the last of my Christmas cards from last year. Now got to get started making them for 2023. I used another Concord & 9th stencil for these cards, similar to the fall stencils I used. I was pleased with these stencils as well. So easy and so fun! I also got a Spellbinder's Glimmer Foil Machine for Christmas and made a December birthday card using it. I am loving it! 

And this is the birthday card I made for a dear friend and my first card made using the Spellbinder's Gimmer Foil Machine. The foiling was amazing, the rest of the card, eh. The vision didn't turn out quite like I had in my head. 

As always, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see what I'm up too. I should be around very shortly to visit you as well. 

Crafty hugs,

Fall/Thanksgiving Cards

Hello crafty friends, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Bret and I had a very nice one with my brother and his family.

I have some Fall/Thanksgiving cards to share today. Another new craft supply I had gotten was a Concord & 9h turnabout stencil. I really loved playing with it and this is the results from my play.
