Happy St. Patty's Day!

Hello crafty friends, I hope your weekend is off to a great start. I have a question and am hoping someone has the answer. I've been going to some of your blogs for sometime now, but now all of a sudden,  I'm getting a message that reads "Dangerous Webpage Blocked!" on some blogs. Why am I now getting that message, I know your pages are safe so what is the deal...anyone know how to fix this issue???? I have been just hitting "continue to site" and it usually works out fine, but on some I can't even comment because the same thing comes up when I try to comment and it won't let the comment go through. Is it something on my end?? I sure hope someone has answers for me. 

I made only one St. Patty's Day card and this is it. It applies to all my sweet subscribers, isn't the sentiment so true?!!! Even to online friends I have never met in person, but all who mean so much to me. I am a lucky and blessed person to have such wonderful online friends and I do consider each and everyone of you friends. Thank you so much! 

Just a simple card using some pattern (pattern paper is a NBUS) and solid papers, a little gilding wax, gilding flakes and some stacking of the letters. Easy peasy and oh an so simple, plain design. Everything is also cut from snippets from my stash except the card base. I haven't played in any challenges in a very long time, so I am hoping to go over the the Snippet Playground and the NBUS challenge spot. 

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been up to. I hope I've been by to see you too, but if not, I will be soon. Until next time.....

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.

Rudolph Challenge

Hello my crafty friends, I sure hope the sun is shinning where you are. It is a dark, rain dumping, extremely windy day here. Very raw out. Yesterday was so beautiful, sunny and not warm, but not cool either. Just a hint of crisp in the air. I guess it was the sun that made it feel so nice with temps in the low to mid 60's. 

I took a pause from Christmas gift making to make a card for the Rudolph Challenge. I haven't played in so long, I don't play much in challenges because mostly I forget about them and then they are over. lol I've tried writing down the challenge and date to close, but then forget I wrote it down. Anyone else as bad as me?! No, ok.....even Bret is worried about me. haha. 

Maureen is honoring Kath, a blogger who recently passed away by adding a twist of paper piecing since Kath paper pieced a lot. So if you do paper piecing, she had an extra gift in honor of Kath. I'm not playing for the price, God knows I have enough crafty goodness to last me forever. I love how paper piecing looks, but rarely do it so I thought this was a great time to make a Christmas paper pieced card. As usual, it didn't come out as well as it did in my head, and while I don't love it, I don't hate this card either. But I do have a lot of ink where it doesn't belong! Rudolph's face, on the white part of my card, etc. I think it came from the stamped glittered cardstock, the ink had a hard time drying on it. I should have used Stazon, hindsight! 

So while this card isn't perfect and didn't turn out like I "saw" it in my head, I think it is still cute. So I think this will be a grandchild card. lol They don't notice your mistakes! I also am going to enter this into the Snippets Playground (Ruby's Memory) and NBUS challenges. 

Thank you for stopping by today and visiting with me. Your comments always bring rays of sunshine to my day. If I haven't been by to visit you,  I should be soon. 

Crafty hugs,
