November BRAK cards

Hello again!  Hopefully things will settle down to a slow roar in my house!  Yesterday was the craft show and sale that I spent the last 2 weeks making cards to sell at.  More on that later and with pics of the cards!!

Here are pictures of the November BRAK cards I've sent out.  I don't remember who got which card, but they went to Karma Wood, Caroline Weir and Joanne Mullin.

I'm not sure what the third BRAK card was that I sent.  My very copious notes say "pop-up Tilda".  Good grief nearly every card I've made lately has been a "pop-up Tilda"! 
Someone gave me lots of pieces of advice about getting older, but I simply cannot remember any of them :(
Thanks for stopping by and try to leave a comment to help jog my memory!

Snowy Cheers and Hugs to Daughter!

Here are pictures of the card I made for my daughter.  She had to have some "repair" surgery done again.  She told me she loved Snowy and Snowy Hugs when she first saw then.  So to help cheer her up I made her an easel card with both stamps.  Here are the pics.  What do you think?

 

I really went wild with the Liquid Applique to add lots of snow effects to the card!

My granddaughter was having a not-so-good day, so she came down and made cards with Grammy! 

Here is her card for her mom:

Meg did a great job coloring her Tilda.  She took several graphic art classes so she already knew about light source.  Blending the Copic colors was a snap for her!

Thanks for taking a few minutes out of your busy holiday preparation time to visit.  I'd really enjoy a comment from you.

The Dudes - Riley and Sophie!

After leaving Him-icane Earl behind, Riley and Sophie head west, well out of the storm's path. 

Their continuing driving vacation has taken them to a real Dude Ranch (maybe in Texas) this time.


Things were really not what Riley was expecting!

 Riley really was not prepared for this!

 I think Riley has a valid point - a moose is a lot bigger than a horse.

 Here is a close up of Sophie on a horse.

I had a lot of cut-and-paste time in getting this picture so it looked like Sophie was riding the horse and that she looked a lot bigger than the horse.  Then there was getting that hat to look big on her!

Did you notice the hoofkerchief around Sophie's neck?

So off they go for a horseback ride along some beautifully scenic trails.

They had a rather uneventful ride and returned to the ranch.

The horses had to be groomed and wiped down after the long ride.

Riley just happened to look closely at the horse Sophie had been riding.


That girl just cannot leave well enough alone!

After the long trail ride, everyone was ready for chow!



Image how proud Riley was when he was allowed to help moose the grills for dinner!

But, like all very good things, summer was nearing an end and Riley and Sophie would soon be heading home and back to school.


Thanks for stopping by and sharing another adventure with Riley and Sophie!  Please leave a comment if you have enjoyed these whimsical flights of fancy of mine!

November Mingle to Robin Fulbrook

Robin Fulbrook - don't look if you want to be surprised!!
Here is the card I made.

The front was a very pretty fall paper I had in my stash.  The sentiment was stamped using a Kaleidacolor stamp pad in Autumn Leaves colors.  The ovals were cut with my Nesties and Cuttlebug.  Chocolate brown ribbon is from my stash.

 I tried to envision what my kitchen would look like on Thanksgiving morning.  There would be a pie or two cooling, a turkey baking in the oven and, of course, a basket of warm rolls!

The potatoes and corn are in the pots on the stove.

I used lots of stamps - Magnolia Apple Pie Tilda , Shelf with Kitchen Towels, Kitchen (cabinet in back), Stove and Oven Mitt, Tilda's Table, and Kitty Cat.The pie on the shelf, basket of rolls and turkey are Cornish Heritage Farms stamps.

Kitty's rug and under the table were cut using Nesties Petite Scallops dies. 

Here's a side view showing the images standing up.  I used clear plastic strips to hold them up.

This view shows the table and kitchen cabinet.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have enjoyed the Thanksgiving kitchen scene.  Hopefully it brought back memories of pleasant times with your family and friends.

The GIANT Pumpkins!

Watch out, Charlie Brown!  I know where the Great Pumpkin grows.  The kids go to our church.  The two girls were adopted from Brazil, where their new Mom grew up.  The boy with the curly hair is her son.  They were so intrigued with the pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns on display for Halloween.

One of our neighbors grows these giant pumpkins for competitions he goes to.  This particular one weighs approximately 800 pounds.  The kids were amazed at the size of the pumpkins and that there were 5 or 6 all about the same size.  Their mom had never seen a pumpkin plant.  Everyone had a great time looking at and touching the huge pumpkins, although they could not sit on them!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at the giant pumpkins.  Wouldn't Charlie Brown love this!?!

October Mingle Card from Dewi

This is the adorable Mingle card I received from Dewi Hasan for the October Mingle.

Little Tilda looks so scary in her pirate costume!  Maybe she was very afraid of the skulls hovering around behind her.

At any rate, it is the cutest card and I love it.  Thank you Dewi!!
