Howdy Y’all, and Welcome to our Inky Antics Christmas Blog Hop, which features our newest holiday releases!  It’s my sweet pleasure to start off the hop, so if you’re here, you’re definitely in the right place to start hoppin’! My card features the Punny Christmas Frogs Clear Set, drawn by artist & Inky design team [...]

Did you guess?   It’s more Christmas today! I couldn’t “just make one” with the trees4Christmas set … so here’s more! I managed to settle in at the stampin’ table for some crafty time time today, and found some stampy inspiration in the featured stamper challenge.  Congratulations to SCS’s cajojus on her week as FS291! Here’s [...]

Today I’m sharing a card that “could” be Christmas themed … or maybe it’s just my vision of a figure I “wish” I had.   Yep …. I’m a dreamer for sure.   But she does set a nice ‘goal’ for those of us who want to shed a bit, doesn’t she? Miss Candy was colored with [...]

Happy week-after Thanksgiving, everyone!!   I’m still smiling over the special time with good friends and family.   And, it was actually fun to “get out there” and actually get the majority of my Christmas shopping done!  Yay!  (Those who know me well, know that this is ‘not’ my norm.  Maybe we’re never too old to learn new tricks [...]

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!   This is the day that the USA comes together as families and friends to celebrate the earliest beginning of the USA.   Pilgrims, native Americans, families, new friends shared their harvest and their knowledge.   Today, we each bring traditional beliefs, feelings, foods, and more to the table with one another.   Many even view [...]

Welcome to the bright beginning of a brand new week! For those of you who have been participating in the Our Craft Lounge sneak peeks and blog hop … Yes!  Today will be the day that we all learn the names of the blog candy winners!   At this moment, even I don’t know the names [...]

Can you believe it?  Half of November has already passed by!   Is it just ‘me’?  2010 seems blowing right on by in those crisp breezes outside. I was tempted to play with a new-to-me stamp … and now that I’ve inked it up, I’m thinking there’s a big possibility that I’ll “need” to use this [...]

You read it correctly!  You have chances to win … free stamps!    And of course, my card today is wishing all of you, ‘Season’s Greetings!’ Have you noticed the new Our Craft Lounge button over in the left column of my blog?   Well, it takes you directly to the OCL Thankful for You promotion.  There, [...]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ….. Christmas in the desert!    Follow your compass to the nearest & dearest desert area … that’s what I’ve tried to do with this one.   The SCS monthly theme involves traveling around the compass … so let’s get to it! If you’ve read my blog for a length of time, you might know that once [...]

  Nope!   No ‘green giant’ here!    (HoHoHo …. get it??!) This is simply a festive reindeer, stopping by to get everyone in the shopping spirit!  Why? … … …. Well, as of now, we have 49 shopping days until Christmas!!!    Oh My Word …..  49!   This sketch comes from the Our Craft Lounge Friday [...]

  Hey, hey!   Welcome back to Savor the Journey!  I’ve chosen to participate in a couple of Splitcoaststampers challenges with this card, and you’re more than welcome to check’em out for your own creative efforts!    This week’s sketch challenge, SC320, seemed just right for one of the newest additions to my stamp collection from Rubbernecker [...]

  Welcome to the blessing of a brand new week, everyone!  It’s still rather “toasty” here in my little spot of Texas, so I’ve continued to create with “thoughts of coooool” in mind.     Embossed snowflakes seemed to be a good choice for this little trio of penguin chicks, so that’s where I started.   I’ve shared a [...]

  What??  ..   …    “Holidays”?? I know … please just bear with me for a bit.   Needless to say, I’m in “Texas” … Well, everything is BIG here, including the “heat“!  Yes, I have the A/C, the non-stop iced tea, the pool at the gym — oh wait … one must actually “go” to the gym [...]
