Scandinavian Tree...

This is my card from a recent swap. I love the image of this tree. I embossed silver EP on Shimmery White CS. It's a bit hard to see, but I applied Red Chunky Glitter to the center of the flower. Time was running short (imagine that!) so I only had time to watercolor one card. Simple card, just what I needed when time was of the essence. Thanks for stopping by...

Sr. Center Tree, so far...

A few of the ladies from the Sr. Center have been working to make handmade ornaments for the Hospice Tree. It's so interesting to see what everyone has created. Snowmen, Santas, Stars, Trees and more. We still have a few more days to put the finishing touches on the tree...watch for more pics and some close up views of the oraments.

found 'em...

These are the 2 missing cards from my last class st the Sr. Center. Anyway...I love black...it's not my mood, it's a choice. I have 12 pair of black pants...20 black tops/shirts...too many black shoes/sandals to count. I love black for cards as well....so easy to use. The Nature's Silhouettes card base is black textured CS and the "noel" card has a strip of black CS and some sheer organdy ribbon in black, too. I wouldn't normally use black for the Christmas card, but the scrapbook paper worked with this layout. I gave the ladies a choice of noel or love stamps, just in case they didn't feel as daring to use the black for a Christmas card. It made a great Valentine card with the love greeting.

Homecoming 'o8...

My children went to their Homecoming Dance last night. DS is a freshman and DD a senior. Hard to believe! DD had a date, but he turned out to be a "total jerk"...her words, not mine. For those of you that know my DS...check out that smile...he got his braces off! My brother arrived in time to get a few pics with the kids, which was nice. My kids just love him. He is fun to be around...smart, silly and humorous all rolled into one. I've got more pics...but gotta get the OK to post them...heehee
