Christmas at the Beach

When I saw this stamp set, I knew it was perfect for where I live.  I never use snowmen or anything else related to snow on my cards because it just isn't appropriate.  I would like to string lights on my palm tree but the person who puts up the lights would not want to do that.  Don't even think about me doing it myself because that would be a big disaster.  I just may go to the beach on Christmas Day.

Time for Some Thanksgiving Cards

This is one of the cards my group recently made for our fall card class.  I had a variety of stamps they could use for the sentiment.  Some of them even change it to a birthday card for fall birthdays.  My next class will be on Monday November 20 when we will make Christmas cards.

Veterans Day

Today we remember and thank every veteran.  We especially thank our parents for their service, Bob Alexander USAF, Jim Gilroy Sr. US Army, and May Gilroy US Coast Guard.

Thanksgiving Retiform

I have been seeing a lot of cards made with the retiform or grid  technique.  I finally gave it a try.  I used several different stamp sets to make it.  For a first try, I am happy with how they turned out.  If I did these again I would use a lighter shade of brown.

Tomorrow we will be at St Timothy's Craft Show in Lutz and Christmas Under the Oaks in Clearwater on Sunday.  Monday I will be sleeping late.

Cards with the Flute Choir

Today the flute section and members of the flute choir from the community band I am in came over to make some Christmas cards.  This is one of the cards they made.  The picture doesn't show the nice sparkle to the rhinestones or the Wink of Stella on the center of the poinsettias in the background.
