Happy Veteran's Day -It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas !!

My favorite things to create are Christmas
decorations and ornaments . This first is inspired
by a postcard download from -"It's all in the Details -"
My second favorite thing to use is
pictures and postcards of the victorian
era -- I especially love the pictures of
babies and children -and of course
-I love imagining the story each picture tells .
Especially the quirky ones .
Yikes -lot of love going on here lol - Since the holley
brought on the idea
of the song -Deck the halls -I punched a
circle in the card and placed a picture ,
and of course a song sheet background
MY fAV thing as embellishments
is a tag followed by German glass glitter.


I am partial to gingerbread men .
Standing in Michaels -I was looking at the $1
isle - this happens a lot as 50 weeks a year
I design and make a craft project to
go along with the lesson taught at a Mission
Church -for the children . I saw the red striped
cards that you use for family pictures and send out
and thought that would be a great base for anything.
Since they are slick (several styles and patterns -
I sanded them added a little Distress ink -
love that stuff also, Then I typed the saying,
and printed it and the ginger man out.
Add embellsihes and a hanger -- The thing I
left out eas buttons --can we say addict here lol
Love all especially the old mother of pearl .
Ok gotta feed my sweetie -- after all it
is Veterans Day - He served in Vietnam -
and is so patriotic -and such a man of God -
I and our family are truly blessed .
I am in the Hop Hop Jingle Boo !-
(I just love even typing that name )
paper doll swap and they are due before Thanksgiving -
we got our names today .So will be posting
some about that -SOON !! lol
