Botanicals for You

Quick post today as I need to get busy on my Valentine cards so that I can get them out in the  mail. Here is a card that I created with the Botanicals For You stamp set that is currently available for FREE in the Stampin' Up Sale-A-Bration catalog. Yes, Free. With every $50 purchase you can choose a free product from the sale-a-bration catalog. This is probably my favorite time of the year when it comes to Stampin Up promotions! The card below was created for a friends birthday. I love this set because of the large bold greeting; when embossed it really pops! Thanks for peeking in.......

Gift Bag

Today I bring to you this lovely little gem made for a friend to hold her birthday goodies. Its actually a decent size and I love the idea of homemade wrapping. Im thrifty like that. Besides it was too adorable not to make when I found it on Pinterest. You can view the video instructions here on LeeAnn Greff's Blog. Thanks for peeking in......

Rag Quilts

Awhile ago, just before life took over and I stopped having time to blog I posted a teaser. So today I have located the picture of the final product, a rag quilt for a friend that was having a baby. Well that baby is now almost 4! Where does the time go? Recently I made another one that went out in the mail today (yay me!) so I will post both quilts here for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for peeking in....

And here are pictures of my most recent rag quilt for another friend thats preggers.

Warm Fuzzy Valentine

Saw this cutie on Pinterest, and of course I had to make one. Im not a huge celebrator of Valentines Day, but I do so love to decorate. Not to mention the colors on Valentine themed goods :). So without further ado I give you a warm fuzzy valentine. Thanks for peeking in today.

Recipe:
Styrofoam wreath, yarn of your choice, 1 sheet of pink felt, 1 sheet of red felt, Big Shot, heart framelits

Testing out a few new Apps

Okay folks, let's face it blogging can be a lot of work. Really more time consuming than anything. I'm trying out new ways to blog so that I can make quick(ish) posts more frequently. I think this is honestly why I stopped blogging in 2012. But with technology there are so many ways to go about blogging now. My hope is that it will all flow quite smoothly from here on out. 

So today's post is a recent swap I created for a group of lovely ladies out of San Antonio. Please forgive the watermark as I'm learning how to use a new app. I'm not quite sure that I like it. Just really sort of testing the software to be honest. 

Making my comeback!

Can I do that after 4 years? I have thought about this blog on and off for about 6 months and I have finally made the decision to return to blogger land. I have been busy while I was away. We have had high school graduation, a military retirement and a relocation from Europe back to the United States. That is just the tip of the iceberg, but even with that I always made time for card making, other crafting and some small and not so small DIY projects. So...because I have been absent for so long I have loads to post. Over the next few weeks I will try to post daily with recent projects and occasionally I may reminisce about events and things Ive made awhile ago. Until next time.....
