An Eclectic Bunch...

Hey Stampers!
I can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks since I posted here. It has been a busy 2 weeks, I guess. Yesterday was the first absolutely FREE day I have had in a while ... but it has all been good!

This past Monday I had a Stampin' Up! Workshop with some gals who love to make cards and have been at it for a while. So, I spoiled them and we had 2 "make and takes"; one of which I will show you today!

Here is the card the gals made that evening... using the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and the Typeset DSP.

I had prepared for 12 attendees and only 8 were there... so I came home with some packets of card supplies.The next day I decided to get these off my desk - not by putting them in a box to use later (sometimes later never comes, it seems) - but by making some cards with the supplies.

Here are the cards I made that afternoon. The first 2 have no sentiment on them yet....

The next 2 are Christmas cards - I had these 2 houses sitting with some "stuff" on my desk ... so I made a "from our house to yours" card! I used the Holiday Home stamp set for this one.

For this card I used a couple of deer that a friend had die cut for me ... The silver glitter pieces were left over from the second "M & T" - which I will show you next week.

I have not been back in my Kraft Korner since Tuesday - hopefully today will see me there for a bit!

Have a great weekend! Don't forget to put your clocks BACK tonight!
Blessings and HUGS!

"Holiday Home" and a Doodle!

Hey there!
Another beautiful day! yea!
Just a quick post as I am on the run ....

Here is a card I made when I first received this Holiday Home set.... it is so versatile! I had fun creating a scene ... and of course, a little coloring.

And - I have begun doodling again... don't know why I haven't done it for a while but a few weeks ago I picked up my book and pen and off I went. Now - I'm not going to show you all of them - but this one is particularly special to me. One night I did the frame and had no idea what to put inside it; the next night I just doodled" not knowing what the outcome would be. And after I was finished.... the Words just popped there! This has sort of been my mantra for a long time now and I SO believe that HE IS ABLE! Many Scriptures tell us this - you will see just one of them noted on the doodle if you look closely I don't usually add color to my doodles but have been looking on Pinterest - oh my goodness! Some beauties there!

I hope you enjoyed you peek here today - I am going to the Kraft Korner to make a few more cards for Anchors of Hope; and then running some errands.

Holiday Home

Hi everyone!
I am having a quiet day today after a rather exhausting 3 days! But they were 3 days I wouldn't have missed for the world! God is alive, and very real to me and all the ladies at the SPA Retreat! YEA!

Here is a card I made to take with me to give to a friend who has just moved into a little place of her own -
This set is called Holiday Home and is found in the Holiday Catty Stampin' Up! It is a photopolymer set and has sentiments for all occasions. There are 3 houses; a street lamp; a tree; Santa and his reindeer; pumpkin; leaves.... and much more. I know this set will get lots of use around here! :)

I colored the house with the Blendabilities & used markers on the leaves and pumpkins.

I have been in my Kraft Korner this morning as I have our Klub meeting here this Saturday... so I must get ready for that!

Have a great day!
Hugs,
Ruthie
