The Gift – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0019

Hello there,

There is something about gold on a card that makes it extra special and it can be pricey to make a bunch of cards using gold card stock.  Today I added little gold elements to my card that are very affordable but still give that gold WOW factor.

Salad, Salad, Salad

DSC_0001

Hi All,

It’s been a crazy busy day already today.  Mondays always are, right?  It is 10:00 a.m. and I’ve been to the gym, grocery, put dinner in the crock pot and washed the car.  My feet sure have hit the floor running, so much to do.

I have been losing weight, 26 lbs since July in fact, woohoo!  I have much, much more to lose but at least the scale is going in the right direction now.

This morning I wanted to share with you a little tip on preparing salads.  If you are like me, you bring home fresh veggies and put them in the vegetable crisper in the refrigerator and then promptly forget about them and then throw them away the next time you come home with fresh veggies.  Because I was to lazy to pull out all the ingredient to make a salad every day.  Well here is a way to save you some money, time and your waist line.

The first thing you do when returning home from the grocery is to pull out your veggies from the grocery bags, put them on the counter, clean them, and put them right into quart canning jars.   Layer the veggies in your jars according to firmness.  Firmest veggies on the bottom.   These will keep for some time in the refrigerator on the top shelf, right where you will see them every time you open that refrigerator door.  They are super easy to have for lunch or dinner.    Pull one out, add salad dressing, eat from the jar or get fancy and use a plate, lol.

You can put anything you like in them, but skip the croutons, they get soft.  Grill chicken is great in these.  🙂

Okay, I’m off to the next thing.

***************************************************************

I will be back in a bit with a stamping project for today.

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

He Now Has a Name

DSC_0089

Hi there,

Last week I asked for some help naming our only rooster and you all helped with hundreds of name suggestions.  Well, he has a name and it is Stewie.  I’ve called him Stewie for a few days and he is now looking at me when I say it.   Not sure if it is a look of approval or not, lol.  But he is getting use to it.

Thanks everyone for you help!

HAVE a great day!

White Pumpkin – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0196

Hello there,

I do love a white pumpkin. I believe it is because it stands out in the crowd when among the normal orange pumpkins.  I think the bird in today’s card really likes the white pumpkin too.  🙂  At least he looks happy.  If you are not crazy about white pumpkins, like me, you can make it any color your heart desires.

Winter’s Nap – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0168_edited-1

Hello there,

Check out this fox all snuggle down in his little den.  His coloring really pops on this chilly card.

I have really gotten some use out of The Wilderness Awaits stamp set, item #139365.  I love the images, especially the fox.  I’ve used the stamps for Summer and now I’m looking at them in a whole new way and I can envision them in Winter scenes as well. So versatile, love it!

Hello there,

Today I wanted to create a card that had the beautiful snowflake from the Holly Jolly Greetings Stamp Set, item #139882 right up front in my scene.  Added some trees and wind in the background and I created depth in the scene that really made those snowflakes come to life.  🙂
