Good morning! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I write this with tears in my eyes as it will be my last post for <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a>. I am very sad to leave, but life is just too busy for me to continue. I have had such a wonderful time with Leanne, Lori and Tamie. I value the wonderful friendships that we have made and I will miss them terribly! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leanne, Lori, and Tamie - know that I love you all dearly and think of you as my Canadian Sisters! I will miss our wonderful conversations and all the fun that we have had over the last few years! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, with that being said - here is my final project for <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leanne is our wonderful hostess and she gave us the following challenge:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SWIRLY PEARLS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see, I didn't follow directions very well as I used gems instead of pearls! But I did this cigar box for a dear friend (my second daughter) for her birthday to hold some of her college memories in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, one final time - head on over to <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> and play along with Leanne's challenge. While you are there, be sure to leave lots of love to the wonderful ladies - they are so very talented and really just a great group of ladies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, I love you all and will miss you greatly - but - I will not be gone forever!</div>

Good Morning! Welcome back once again! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is Thursday so of course we have a brand new challenge up at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lori is our hostess this week and she gave us the following challenge:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
COLORING ON KRAFT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I broke out the colored pencils and got to work. It just happens to be my Grandmother's 93rd Birthday so I thought this would be perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1C9r6G6qfH5K9hmpCrPppDCIWuhh4rXPtF6Wh5iG9YKd1PGyZ70bFAvyJKqn-ZhWwH_Rj7pICTDr_u6GVtOP5Adb1Wfl3AI7VQYjyfuBHJ2_Lum0B4EZ-c6dDZTK07A2MfaXV5YrMz1L/s1600/Coloring+on+Kraft.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1C9r6G6qfH5K9hmpCrPppDCIWuhh4rXPtF6Wh5iG9YKd1PGyZ70bFAvyJKqn-ZhWwH_Rj7pICTDr_u6GVtOP5Adb1Wfl3AI7VQYjyfuBHJ2_Lum0B4EZ-c6dDZTK07A2MfaXV5YrMz1L/s400/Coloring+on+Kraft.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coloring on Kraft paper is not something I do very often, but I love the end result! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, head on over to <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> and give it a try! The Chicks have out done themselves this week with the wonderful inspiration so be sure to leave them some love!</div>

Good morning! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I get to play hostess over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided on the following theme:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ORANGE AND BLACK</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I set this theme I was thinking about Fall and Halloween - however, I needed a thinking of you card for my husbands Uncle as he recovers from open heart surgery and decided on a quick and simple card:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLDVhBDDbakvdTJ4Bu3Y_nyNailHcVB8LMxiK0bY0OtZdSrrBEpZELKcA1ltREwvNV1NKVjtGtoMeCEEKg2Qw5ig9BvX0lPWxWpmI5A_CqL9zrQVaGF_sWwvEvKvW1fxyPvE4_PrgdNOz2/s1600/orange+and+black.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLDVhBDDbakvdTJ4Bu3Y_nyNailHcVB8LMxiK0bY0OtZdSrrBEpZELKcA1ltREwvNV1NKVjtGtoMeCEEKg2Qw5ig9BvX0lPWxWpmI5A_CqL9zrQVaGF_sWwvEvKvW1fxyPvE4_PrgdNOz2/s400/orange+and+black.png" width="282" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not very exciting - but the embossed layer does add a little something I guess. (I really need to step up my game!!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, head on over to <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> and check out the wonderful creations the other chicks have! While you are at it be sure to play along!</div>

Good morning! Welcome back! OK, so this week I was a little more on top of things! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have a new challenge over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> this week - along with a New Guest Designer for the month!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please welcome Karen from <a href="http://karen-mycuprunnethover.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">http://karen-mycuprunnethover.blogspot.ca/</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this week Leanne is hostess and she asked us to create a card using</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DIE CUTS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv1OSUCViJeTdbyDGmkMgCN7_EqqG_voVpOWzRu9Fq7_GX1YD9DSzFOK-Nx_emNNGCIOZP7ct50JRe6HHevccUTZ4zWqOppRgt1sdprYtIiOWGU4okkno7-7w5kIr_rRpXnhThANioMius/s1600/DIE+CUTS.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv1OSUCViJeTdbyDGmkMgCN7_EqqG_voVpOWzRu9Fq7_GX1YD9DSzFOK-Nx_emNNGCIOZP7ct50JRe6HHevccUTZ4zWqOppRgt1sdprYtIiOWGU4okkno7-7w5kIr_rRpXnhThANioMius/s400/DIE+CUTS.png" width="293" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is pretty CAS for me as I didn't add anything to it! I needed a quick sympathy card for a friend that lost his mom - noting too frilly but not to drab either. I think I put this together in under 5 minutes. Sympathy cards are just so hard for me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, head on over to <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> and enter your card today using die cuts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

See you soon!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is Thursday so we have a new challenge over at<a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"> 4 Crafty Chicks</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ANYTHING GOES</div>

Good morning! We are getting into that time of year when the leaves start to turn, the air gets cooler and the fall decorations emerge! This is my favorite time of year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lori is our hostess over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> this week and she gave us the following challenge:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Colors of Autumn</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like I said, this is my favorite time of year! So, I have began trying a new craft - Quilting- I have always admired the beautiful designs of quilts but didn't think I could do it myself. So, I decided to start small - with a place mat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I made this place mat and then embroidered on it with my embroidery machine then quilted it on the sewing machine. I made a matching towel using my embroidery machine as well. It really wasn't a hard project but I think I need to practice cutting our my material before I tackle the baby quilt I want to make for my soon to be here grand baby!</div>

I actually CASED this card from <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/source/lysaq.blogspot.com" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com/source/lysaq.blogspot.com</a> on Pinterest. I'm not sure but she may have CASED is from somewhere else too. I love the simplicity of this design. I colored my butterfly with watercolor markers and then added some glitter. Cut it out and glued it to the front of my card. A white gel pen was used for the "stitching" The inside has another butterfly and a small quote "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, It's the Life in your years. - Abraham Lincoln"</div>

Good morning! August was a very busy month with my daughter getting married and my son going back to school - but I'M BACK!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />The wedding was simply beautiful - the weather ended up perfect and everything went as planned. (does that ever happen?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a picture of my beautiful daughter and her handsome new husband:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks </a>Leanne is our hostess and she gave us the challenge of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FUSSY CUTTING</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago I went to a Scrapbook Convention in St. Louis with some friends - I found the neatest stamps from Art Impressions. They are called Fronts and Backs. The only thing I didn't like about them was the fussy cutting! (LOL)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aren't they just adorable! I colored them with my Spectrum Noirs and cut them out and put them together. I stamped the fence twice (one on front and one on back) then cut the card down to match. I embossed the back with a cloud embossing die and ink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Good morning! This week I get to play hostess over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a>. I decided on the following theme:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FLOWERS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty Easy right?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2SuuiL7Nrh3OcHyiXr9Lpj4P2S2ClJUNvPlpvt7ExG2JioBLYZ-oL7FPzhtK48xSSRGEEMcnzN9pjSKcDQmQ3xEy5cZijFYF73CikkrTk_gDVesc4-mK5RVbPy_JPXUX3k-hfENwVnvoH/s1600/flowers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2SuuiL7Nrh3OcHyiXr9Lpj4P2S2ClJUNvPlpvt7ExG2JioBLYZ-oL7FPzhtK48xSSRGEEMcnzN9pjSKcDQmQ3xEy5cZijFYF73CikkrTk_gDVesc4-mK5RVbPy_JPXUX3k-hfENwVnvoH/s400/flowers.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During Mother's Day my church holds a wonderful dinner to honor all of the mothers in our church. One woman is selected to be Mother Of The Year. This year I received that honor! I was so surprised! What surprised me even more was my beautiful daughter being able to come home! I had no idea she was going to be there and when they announced my name and I stood up there she was! What a wonderful surprise! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the dinner letters were read from my husband, son and Mother in law and my daughter read a beautiful letter from herself. I made this box to hold all of those wonderful memories. I used a wooden cigar box and covered it in card stock then decorated it with flowers and frames with photos of my children. I feel so blessed to have such great kids!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, show us your flowers over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> this week! I can't wait to see what you do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

See yo soon!</div>

I just love this image - maybe because it is called "Lacie's Icecream" and that is my daughter's name! But it looks like she is enjoying a summer treat and even has her shades ready for the sun!</div>

Good morning! Welcome back again this week! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> I get to play hostess! Since it is our 5th Thursday of the month our theme is always ANYTHING GOES!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is also the last week for our wonderful guest designer - <a href="https://mycraftysmell.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Melanie</a>. It was so fun to create with you this month! I hope to see you around lots more!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OK, so on to my project for the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I have been keeping a secret from all of you! My beautiful daughter is getting married! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been so busy working on centerpeices for her wedding reception - I didn't think I had anything done for this weeks challenge - so I thought I would share what they are looking like:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghQNYUQ9Tdko4Ja9W1ibnuQIvX-PsTsokg5cpI0bvNHzksoPqJ4BnRIddwJCYvnnU2qOLW0P_-cZfrcsCRxO3pZM0Cv1Ye5q05DEopFnvSPuoOlETMskbslgArzDnezqvYz761pR8G17ik/s1600/Anything+Goes.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghQNYUQ9Tdko4Ja9W1ibnuQIvX-PsTsokg5cpI0bvNHzksoPqJ4BnRIddwJCYvnnU2qOLW0P_-cZfrcsCRxO3pZM0Cv1Ye5q05DEopFnvSPuoOlETMskbslgArzDnezqvYz761pR8G17ik/s400/Anything+Goes.png" width="280" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her colors are Navy, Coral and Gold. She is wanting to keep everything as simple as possible - but even a simple mason jar looks pretty awesome when spray painted gold! I am really enjoying getting everything ready for her special day! (I am working on invitations and will share them soon!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, head over to <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> and enter your ANYTHING GOES project today! While you are there be sure to leave some love for the other chicks and there wonderful projects!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good morning! Welcome back to another episode of my blog! Today is Thursday so you know what that means? Yep- a new challenge awaits at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a>!<br />
<br />
Tamie is our hostess over there this week and she gave us the following challenge:<br />
<br />
METAL<br />
<br />
At first I thought - will what in the world am I going to do! Then, a friend of mine needed a gift for a 100th birthday. <br />
Here is what I came up with:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2wH38yLRq7YANGrdHX-3mfmZ9QokGzegO2EeTIss9Iev3NbFwPH-OBdcpTglpYp9tZnQQ5ynrnJa7p1daCx14iTMLAymdI9U44c2VdATu4zomufFn3z8JI1rk4Rv0OTzIsQFrWbDyHS3h/s1600/metal.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2wH38yLRq7YANGrdHX-3mfmZ9QokGzegO2EeTIss9Iev3NbFwPH-OBdcpTglpYp9tZnQQ5ynrnJa7p1daCx14iTMLAymdI9U44c2VdATu4zomufFn3z8JI1rk4Rv0OTzIsQFrWbDyHS3h/s400/metal.png" width="327" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I loved the gears and time pieces added to the canvas. It just gave it that little something. And when I was done I was like- wait you can't have it! I need a photo for my blog!!!<br />
<br />
So, I hope inspiration strikes and you come up with a card or project for Tamie's METAL challenge!<br />
Hurry over to<a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"> 4 Crafty Chicks</a> and enter today!<br />
<br />
See you soon!<br />

Good morning! Today we have a new challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leanne is our hostess this week AND we have a new Guest Designer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome <a href="https://mycraftysmell.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">MELANIE</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We look forward to creating with you this month!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leanne thought we needed to fill our card stash with some Masculine cards so this weeks challenge is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#301 {MASCULINE}</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My boss is an avid Duck hunter so I made this one for him for his birthday. I really struggle with masculine cards and have to always remind myself that sometimes less is more! The image is from one of my new favorite stamp companies - Northwoods Rubber Stamps. I colored them with watercolor markers and even though it doesn't show in the picture - I added some glitter here and there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, head on over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your Masculine card today! We can't wait to see what you come up with!</div>

Good morning! Welcome back again this week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a>, Lori is our very talented hostess! She has asked that we use the following theme:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SHAKER CARDS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, let me tell you! I have never done one of these so it was really a challenge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to a Scrapbook convention a few weeks ago and found what I thought would be these neat set all ready to put together. Boy, they were hard!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjli8mvOxd_J6ELU4YU6RA911QkBTDauYFT7dS89F-Pu4Jau4XzDljEynStka1xA5Ie0OZd6_OHoL3Qt_HU14xMXdyVJ4zZBSHvcqmmQt3-faCIxEBwTiZsx40nypL_hnH6wWWDC87xCFZe/s1600/shaker+card.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjli8mvOxd_J6ELU4YU6RA911QkBTDauYFT7dS89F-Pu4Jau4XzDljEynStka1xA5Ie0OZd6_OHoL3Qt_HU14xMXdyVJ4zZBSHvcqmmQt3-faCIxEBwTiZsx40nypL_hnH6wWWDC87xCFZe/s400/shaker+card.png" width="340" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nothing lined up on them and the beads just wanted to stick to the backing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next time I try one of these I will do it on my own! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, stop over to <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> and check out the other Chicks cards! They are AWESOME!</div>

Good afternoon! Welcome back! Sorry I am so late with my post this week! Unfortunately sometimes life just gets in my way! <br />
<br />
Anyway, I get to be hostess over at <a href="http://4craftychicks.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">4 Crafty Chicks</a> this week! I wanted to do something simple but still have some challenge to it so....<br />
this weeks theme is<br />
BLACK AND WHITE<br />

Pretty simple until I started working on it! So, I had to add just a pop of RED to make it say WOW.</div>
