Good Morning!!!!!

It's Saturday (In addition to being World Card Making Day), and it's time for Sugar Creek Hollow,,,,,,

This week our fabulous theme is to "Use Fall Colors" on your vintage or shabby chic card or project,,,,,,,,

Here's mine!!!!!!!

I used an old vintage calling card onto which I stamped a Justrite Giving Thanks Nested Sentiment stamp,,,,,,a bit of punching, some Cottage Cutz Filigree Fall Leaves dies, a big ol' sheer bow and a fancy button and it's festive and pretty!!!! I think I will make some seat place cards with this image!!!!

So pop on over to Sugar Creek Hollow if you have it in you to make some cards on this most auspicious day and see what the DT has to show you and then get working on your Fall Colors project!!!!!

Thanks for looking, and I hope you have an amazing weekend and a wonderful World Card Making Day!

Crafty Grandma To The Rescue!!!!!!

So if any of you have grand children, the one thing you all know is that they have but to tear up and whatever they want is theirs.  My youngest grandchild, Angie, is almost six,,,,,,she's in Kindergarten, and according to her,,,,,,,,,EVERYONE has boutique bows in school. The most IMPORTANT everyone (Her best friend, Riley) has them, and therefore,,,,,,,,she needs them. And of course, my DD chimes in that she bets GRANDMA can make them,,,,,,

Never mind that I've never made a boutique bow in my LIFE,,,,,,never mind that my first try isn't perfect,,,,,,,my granddaughter is happy,,,,,,,,,,,she loves them, and that's all that matters.

Just a little something different than another card for this weekend!!!!!!

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoyed the bows!!!! There are a ton of tutorials on You-tube, if you're interested in making some of these,,,but this is the one I used,,,,,it's relatively simple,,,,but it DOES take some practice :)

Bow Tutorial.

Have a fantastic weekend!!!!!
