Today’s card was made on one of the previous cold, snowy days when the temp was zero here in Tennessee.  And today I am writing about the card on a day when it is cloudy and right now the temp is 61 degrees.  The neighbors told us that the last time we had so much snow and cold was back in the early nineties.  

Jen and I had just signed up for the Galentine Day luncheon tea at the Farmhouse which prompted me to get out the Stitched Teapot and Stitched Cup dies from Lawn Fawn.  This might be a card for future Mother’s Day card class.  Have a great weekend!

I posted this on Facebook and I am also writing about it today on my blog.  Jen and I have been attending classes at the Farmhouse in the Valley in Rogersville,  Classes we have attended included decorating cupcakes, making food for charcuterie board displays, creating fun Easter cakes and goodies and others!  The Farmhouse in the Valley offers many classes, including painting, basket-weaving, jewelry making and so much more.   Tammy and Bret's Farmhouse also offers shopping for unique and/or antique items.  The Farmhouse reopens after the holiday on January 27th.  It will be a fun day at the Farmhouse!  I am teaching my first card-making class since before our move to Tennessee.  Today's photo is that of the w cards we will be making.  Very excited to have been offered this opportunity. Have a great day!

 Another card I really loved this past year is one of several Christmas cards I made this year. The products used were from the Magical Meadows bundle from Stampin' Up's holiday mini catalog that expired at the end of 2023.  The printed paper is one from the Winter Meadow 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. I cut a circle on the right side of the paper and layered it on top of another piece of the pattern paper from this collection.  The sentiment is from  the Magical Meadow stamp set, cut out using a deckled rectangle from the die set in Stampin' Up's annual catalog. The prettiest part of the card is the bow.  This ribbon was so pretty and soft.  I wish there were others just like it.  Have a great day!

Happy 2024!  

I have given a lot of thought as to whether or not to continue my blog.  It has been a year since I last added anything and as I looked back at posts, I saw some very pretty cards that I have made through the years.  That being said, I have made some pretty cards throughout this past year but did not post any of them.  Today's card is one of my favorite from 2023. I created this card after Jimmy Buffett died.  His last song to us was titled "Bubbles Up".  I had this paper from Stampin' Up and when I saw the embellishment bubbles from Sunny Studio Stamps, I knew just how I would put them all together.  I typed the sentiment on my computer.  With torn edges, twine and a few seagulls in the sky, this is the perfect JB card.   So here is to a fantastic New Year and "Bubbles Up" to all!
