Why yes, I do think that's a great idea. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I teased last week with these photos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well are you ready to see what they turned into?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TAmrFA2_Mks/WivbMH2oRbI/AAAAAAAAIMQ/ry0lHIm1F684dNta_NcyZMLWOTnCInbJACLcBGAs/s1600/20171209_071610.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1348" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TAmrFA2_Mks/WivbMH2oRbI/AAAAAAAAIMQ/ry0lHIm1F684dNta_NcyZMLWOTnCInbJACLcBGAs/s320/20171209_071610.jpg" width="269" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, so this card didn't turn out anything like what I was picturing in my head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Has that ever happened to you? PLEASE SAY YES!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had this vision of a rainbow village just filling the card, in all these layers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes...technically it's rainbow-ish. Yes...it fills the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes...there's layering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT it's not what I envisioned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the vellum layer hoping that would make it better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It didn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So why am I posting a card, I'm not crazy about?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm posting it because I want you all to know it's o.k. to not always </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
get what you were expecting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes it turns out better, sometimes not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will this card be mailed out? Probably not and that's o.k.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a learning experience and I've still got a ton of tiny rainbow village pieces to try again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the meantime, remember those backgrounds I made will inking sheets to create</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the diecuts? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well one of them became the background for this rainbow village card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm much happier with this one. LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's very simple and similar to last weeks cards, but at the same time </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
completely different in the feeling it evokes.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Which do you like better the rainbow version or the classic black silhouette?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You're not getting tired of holiday cards yet are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been playing with the <a href="http://cpstampofapproval.com/" target="_blank">Winterhaven SOA</a> again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time with the Winterhaven Village Dies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1GQzTtQhv7c/WiaL3f23WKI/AAAAAAAAILY/w0NPkwcL5CQFleAjhbFlYe99V1OcXbEeQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_3345.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1GQzTtQhv7c/WiaL3f23WKI/AAAAAAAAILY/w0NPkwcL5CQFleAjhbFlYe99V1OcXbEeQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_3345.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3L72ybqpnUc/WiaL3Qcw4QI/AAAAAAAAILU/0BDVA8bgKP4NvH6malV3JIAbItQojdOHwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_3371.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3L72ybqpnUc/WiaL3Qcw4QI/AAAAAAAAILU/0BDVA8bgKP4NvH6malV3JIAbItQojdOHwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_3371.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the dies from black cardstock and used perfect peals mist</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on white cardstock to create the snowbanks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used both the top and bottom of the cut piece of cardstock for my snowy hills.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A little sponged Ranger Distress inks in the background with a little water splattering</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and a few Nuvo Drops complete the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That one was fairly simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a peek at the cards I'm working on for next week's post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And what do you get when you use ALL the CP Designs Party Collection Inks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
direct to paper to create all those rainbow houses and you can't stand to waste even a drop of the ink????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You get 18 ink smooshed backgrounds just waiting to be turned into cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
well I just kept creating with the new Winterhaven Collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not a huge poinsettia fan, but I really like this set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love the greenery and with the <a href="https://shop.catherinepooler.com/collections/ink" target="_blank">CP Designs inks</a> the greens </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and blues make it pop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These cards are stamped using Rocking Red, Grass Skirt, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fiesta Blue and Lime Rickey and Midnight Black.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you a fan of Catherine Pooler Designs?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me, I'm slightly addicted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got to know Catherine, first on YouTube then</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I became a <a href="http://catherinepooler.com/stampnation/" target="_blank">StampNation</a> member and when she opened</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://shop.catherinepooler.com/" target="_blank">CP Designs</a>...well, let's just say my stamping hasn't been the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I faithfully watch with great anticipation for each new <a href="http://cpstampofapproval.com/" target="_blank">Stamp of Approval Collection</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last of which was Winterhaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when it arrived I got busy and made just a few holiday cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you know me, I'm a technique driven, clean and simple kind of cardmaker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like cards that are easy to create but pack a punch and I think these cards do that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
These cards all feature Ranger Distress Oxide Inks.<br />
The first three include "stamping" with a stencils and water or perfect pearls mist and<br />
a Brutus Monroe Embossing Powder embossed sentiment from the Winterhaven SOA.<br />
<br />
This next card was my first attempt at a galaxy background using Distress Oxide Inks.<br />
Stamps are from the Winterhaven SOA and are embossed with Brutus Monroe Alabaster EP.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I got out the Delicata Inks and the amazing background stamp from the Winterhaven SOA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's just say I might have gotten carried away. </div>

In case you haven't figured it out yet...I'm in LOVE with this stamp!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used it, some dark navy, black and white cardstocks and Delicata Silver, Gold and Black Shimmer inks and to finish them off some Nuvo Drops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Joy Wreath die set for the first few and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stacked several die cuts on top of each other for dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rest have the Merry Christmas sentiment heat embossed using Brutus Monroe and Ranger embossing powders in metallic colors or stamped in Versa Fine Onyx Black and clear ep.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of the cards follow the same basic technique.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take 1/4 sheet of card stock and put through Xyron 5" sticker maker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OR use another form of adhesive sheet but I found the Xyron to work the best and without the waste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peel off all baking layers on napkins until you have only the colored front sheet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add napkin to card stock layer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coat piece with Versa Mark or other clear ink and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sprinkle on glitter or plain clear embossing powders and heat set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OR add a layer of Gloss/Matte Mod Podge instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trim up the edges. HINT: Make sure your trimmer blades are new and sharp!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OR diecut them using your favorite dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Assemble your cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Give this technique a try with your favorite $ store napkins. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Welcome to the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Blog Hop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month we are focusing on using a sketch to inspire our cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the sketch we are working from for this hop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://sweetsundaysketch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LzxU9eG4Wzo/WKYdbQp8_lI/AAAAAAAAH78/DA0iXgoOC-AltjN6iPtH1FdV83G43wFQgCLcB/s320/14666118_10211036552699951_907111309324206866_n.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How can you use a sketch other than copying it exactly?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How about changing it up by using patterned paper for the background?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or changing the flowers to monsters or animals or another diecut or stamp?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flip the sketch and place the elements at the top of the page or </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
turn the whole thing on it's side and make it a horizontal card instead of a vertical one?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome to a new year of card techniques.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://scrapsbygracie.blogspot.com/2017/01/January2017TechHop.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OMCIXCIiI88/WH0Zmg4EfqI/AAAAAAAAH3E/C_QGpSKqfhUSOZnZerPNdhvfTjV-7XVfgCLcB/s200/2017_Jan_CardADay.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've also got a few new bloggers joining us for this crazy challenge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please welcome them and leave them lots of love via comments on each blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month we are getting messy with shaving cream and all kinds of coloring agents, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from ink refills, color powders, alcohol inks and even food coloring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You won't believe the variety of results you can achieve when you play with this technique.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got lots and lots of cards to share. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I played with Stampin' Up ink refills, Ranger Alcohol inks and Brusho Color Crystals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a can of shaving cream from Dollar Tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure the other ladies shared that this project is MESSY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you don't like getting inky, then this is not a project you will want to undertake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, I limited the mess by doing this in the kitchen, right next to the sink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wore a pair of long kitchen gloves (you know the kind you use to wash dishes....hahahaha I crack myself up, I don't do dishes, that's the hubby's domain).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used an old cookie sheet and covered my countertop in wax paper </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(THIS IS CRITICAL when using alcohol inks!!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those puppies are PERMANENT!!!!! Do not get them on the counter!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also cleared off my large glass top table to use as a drying rack for the full sheets that I created.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gdImsI6ahh0/WH0cv8mUNJI/AAAAAAAAH3c/ampLCKuiJv0SqGZQFXpQoxrBaWVGQ6uFQCLcB/s1600/JanuaryHop2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gdImsI6ahh0/WH0cv8mUNJI/AAAAAAAAH3c/ampLCKuiJv0SqGZQFXpQoxrBaWVGQ6uFQCLcB/s320/JanuaryHop2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a total of 14 8.5 x 11 inch sheets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Heavyweight White Cardstock by Paper Studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That created 56 card fronts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yep, 56! I know that's a lot, but they smell good, even a couple weeks after creating them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few of those 56 card fronts have actually turned into cards and here they are for your looky-loo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've added underneath each on what color medium I used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stamps sets used are listed at the bottom of the post.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I sit here, early on January 1, 2017 and the house is quiet, with my hubby and youngest daughter and best friend and her hubby sleeping after a very late night, I'm reminded that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even when life is tough, it still goes on and there is much to be grateful for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you all, but 2016 was HARD!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emotionally, physically, mentally...it was just down right hard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I've made two commitments for myself in 2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not calling them resolutions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Resolutions get broken to easily.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want, no I need these two things to happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm committing to get my health under control.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and Endometriosis and obesity </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(wow, that's hard to say, even when it's been true for 20 years).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've suffered with the first two for many years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm doing something about the Endo, SOON!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Surgery in the form of a complete hysterectomy is going to happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've put it off for more than 15 years. We tried and tried to have another baby</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after Rachel was born but alas it wasn't meant to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm 47 years old and I'm ok with waiting for the girls to be married and give me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grandbabies to love and spoil. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The RA is affected by so many things, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what I eat or drink, the weather, my meds, my hormones, my stress levels, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well you name it and it makes an impact.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My doctor has committed that when my recovery from surgery is complete, we will</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
attack the RA head-on and find a treatment plan that will make my days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
better, with less flare-ups and more quality of life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure your wondering why we have to wait.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well RA is an immune disorder. It is an overactive immune response where </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my own body attacks the joints. That understood, I have to be off almost all my meds for weeks before the surgery, so I my body will heal as well as possible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Otherwise, a post-up infection could be deadly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I know that not only will my body be cut open </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(yeppers, can't make it easy, no robotic tiny holes for this gal...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a full cut down...think c-section...for me)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and trying to heal, but my joints will be stiff, swollen and feel as</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
though someone's holding a blow torch to them all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT I WILL SURVIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not cancer (although we did that scare in 2016 too).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hubby, Mom, girls, friends and family have all committed to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
helping in any way they can during this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Commitment number two?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To being more positive and present, through my faith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hubby went on a Emmaus Walk weekend in 2016 and it really helped him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recommit to his faith, our marriage and I want to take that step too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm convinced that these trials and tribulations are just another</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
opportunity for me to recommit to my faith in God and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that through Him all things are possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, now that you know the story, I hope you'll help to keep me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on track, keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Send an encouraging word now and then and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
keep plugging along too. If I can prayer for you please shoot me a message.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got the best group of online friends and crafty supporters around and for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I'm eternally grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paraphrasing Col. Potter from the A War for All Season episode of M*A*S*H, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"May (2017) be a damn sight better than 2016 and may we</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all be happier and healthier for it.<br />
<br />
And to my hubby, who I've happily been married to for 24 years today,<br />
Happy Anniversary!<br />
Thanks for being on this journey with me. I couldn't and wouldn't want<br />
to do it without you. You make me laugh, cry and want to strangle you and I know I do the same for you. We've been through the wringer and still come out the other side together.<br />
You make my days worth getting out of bed.<br />
THANK YOU and I love you more today than I could even fathom<br />
all those years ago when we were young. </div>

Now on with the projects...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a set of 5 cards. I'm calling them A Year in Cards Color Me Set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TFSQIje2aQU/WFQJrTwPW-I/AAAAAAAAHuk/n6A2DivQHz0arIVsJm_OwbDP8T1zoHQIwCEw/s1600/20161216_102544.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TFSQIje2aQU/WFQJrTwPW-I/AAAAAAAAHuk/n6A2DivQHz0arIVsJm_OwbDP8T1zoHQIwCEw/s400/20161216_102544.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've included with this set of 5 cards:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a set of sentiment stickers, a set of markers and envelopes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I had a picture of the total gift, but alas it was to out of focus to use and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the gift is already wrapped and on it's way to it's destination.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the cards are one layer cards on Paper Studio Heavy-weight white cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a variety of Impression Obession background stamps and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brutus Monroe and Ranger embossing powders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a holiday card (could also be used for a December birthday), </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a summery floral card,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Sorry, I did this one in white embossing powder and it's hard to see the flowers.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a masculine or kid friendly design,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o4lZcGYQDqA/WFQMw4cP1MI/AAAAAAAAHvA/ghEPXMpelUAjzVvBrmrj89cewKrXD4wAwCLcB/s1600/20161216_102559.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o4lZcGYQDqA/WFQMw4cP1MI/AAAAAAAAHvA/ghEPXMpelUAjzVvBrmrj89cewKrXD4wAwCLcB/s320/20161216_102559.jpg" width="269" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and last a feminine flowery one (this one could also be used for a wedding or anniversary).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FgPRhY85_20/WFQMwohjB1I/AAAAAAAAHu8/OLOP3NOv71MVtXrUWTStu1pP3R81Iy5aACLcB/s1600/20161216_102552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FgPRhY85_20/WFQMwohjB1I/AAAAAAAAHu8/OLOP3NOv71MVtXrUWTStu1pP3R81Iy5aACLcB/s320/20161216_102552.jpg" width="277" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really love how simple these cards are as is and the receipent might choose to use</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
them without coloring but add a little color and they are stunning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This set only took about half and hour to put together and with the envelopes, markers and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stickers only cost around $15. A great gift idea to put together for you gift closest and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have wrapped and ready to give any time of the year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This would make a lovely hostess, birthday, mother's day or teacher gift as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I'd show you a couple of the cards with color added.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a sample of the feminine card design that I created and used Brusho Color Crystals and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shimmer mist to color in. Add a simple sentiment and the card is ready for the mail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stunning and simple holiday card. </div>

I'll start with the projects I shared on my very first post on this blog back in 2010.</div>

These were the gifts I gave for Christmas in 2009 to my Grandmother and my Mom.</div>

<span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: "lucida grande";"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c9jbnePu9XM/S3BTrZq5kSI/AAAAAAAAAEk/hgIDN9Pxd3U/s1600-h/2009+Christmas+Gift+for+Grandma+made+with+my+Cricut.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435936755326488866" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c9jbnePu9XM/S3BTrZq5kSI/AAAAAAAAAEk/hgIDN9Pxd3U/s320/2009+Christmas+Gift+for+Grandma+made+with+my+Cricut.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 165px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 314px;" /></a></span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: "lucida grande";">I made my version of a </span><a href="http://www.wordle.net/"><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: "lucida grande";">Wordle</span></a><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: "lucida grande";"> , but made it with my Cricut and CDS (Cricut Design Studio) . The first one is a 12x24 that I created for my Grandmother who will be 85 this May and it has the word Family in the center with her name and Grandpa's surrounded by all the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren's names. This was a challenge and I made the mistake of using heavy watercolor paper which I had used a metallic gold stamp pad to highlight the texture of the paper. The problem with using this paper was that it was so thick that the fine details did not cut well and of course I had welded the whole thing so it was a bear to get off the mat without tearing. I used the Stone Script font and it was just to delicate for this application but I'd already jumped in with both feet so I changed it up for the remaining ones. My beautiful daughter Rachel helped to glue it down and it is by no means perfect or straight but Grandma Bernie loved it and it is proudly hanging in her living room.</span><br />

<span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: "lucida grande";">When I did the second one I used just a good heavy cardstock and of course it was smaller but I did not weld the names together in CDS and just glued them down next to each other and it turned out much better. Mom loved it, although she wasn't surprised since we had already been to Christmas at Gram's house before she got hers.</span><br />

I'll also share a fun page I made with me and my Grandma Bernie.</div>

Don't think that heritage pages have to be stuffy, find the humor and make them colorful.</div>

I started with fall leaves and got creative with the colors I used as the overlay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 17.6px; line-height: 24.64px; text-align: center;">
I used Ranger Distress Inks for the coloring and Ranger Gold Embossing Powder and Brutus Monroe Gilded and Silver powders too for a few of the leaves. </div>

I really like how the layering looks. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For this next one I used blues and greens for the base layer and brown over the top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I then used a silver over the top of all of it and burnished it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the same silver ink and clear embossing powder to create the strip on the side </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and for the sentiment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the last card I used only red for the base layer and brown for the top. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the sentiments, I repeatedly stamped it with Versa Mark and then used burnished gold </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect Pearls powder over it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like playing with this technique and hope you'll give it a try!</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember the old kids game, Telephone? You know the one where a secret is told to the first person in line and then they tell what they think they heard to the next person and they tell the next person and so on and so on. At the end of the line, the person says what they heard and the first person tells what they originally said and laughter erupts because the two things are nothing alike. </span></div>

What a fun album cover, and perfect for a cruise. I went on a cruise some years back but spent part of the time seasick, so no more for me! This does inspire me to finish scrapping the photos though!</div>
