This is a fun die cut that I have used for many things. I used a couple of my Fun Stamper's Journey stamps and embellishments to make this Valentine's Day "Card". <br />
<br />
Here are the pics:<br />

This is the closed up Notealope:<br />

<br />
Ok, you know I love to paint at these parties. Well, we got together a few people from the office to do it together after work. We had so much fun! I love trees. Not sure what it is about them, but just love them. <br />
<br />
We started with this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m6x-kHNnny0/VpQs3tmB-9I/AAAAAAAACJo/rsRe2782PAg/s1600/IMG_9364.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m6x-kHNnny0/VpQs3tmB-9I/AAAAAAAACJo/rsRe2782PAg/s320/IMG_9364.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;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we added yellow:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D7zURujBc7A/VpQs3pgmyeI/AAAAAAAACJs/KSWF0GwpJ78/s1600/IMG_9365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D7zURujBc7A/VpQs3pgmyeI/AAAAAAAACJs/KSWF0GwpJ78/s320/IMG_9365.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;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These trees were supposed to be mostly fall colors but the sun was shining through! We added some orange:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-psGU203gx8o/VpQs36VhYoI/AAAAAAAACJw/OuKWqRjpuYI/s1600/IMG_9366.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-psGU203gx8o/VpQs36VhYoI/AAAAAAAACJw/OuKWqRjpuYI/s320/IMG_9366.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we added some red:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oCTqGbPVvR4/VpQs5wpFH7I/AAAAAAAACJ4/hgFTHHV9TLk/s1600/IMG_9367.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oCTqGbPVvR4/VpQs5wpFH7I/AAAAAAAACJ4/hgFTHHV9TLk/s320/IMG_9367.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I wasn't sure what this was going to look like. I didn't like it at this stage.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RukMhc1OEuQ/VpQs7HZfQeI/AAAAAAAACKE/ew6DMUfnVFQ/s1600/IMG_9368.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RukMhc1OEuQ/VpQs7HZfQeI/AAAAAAAACKE/ew6DMUfnVFQ/s320/IMG_9368.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then it started looking better and became a painting that I love and have hung in the office.</div>

We bought an antique kitchen table and chairs when we were living in Virginia, which has been at least 21 years ago. The original leather and padding was starting to look really bad - it was splitting around the edges and on the tops. These two chairs were not even the worst ones.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3XbW3xt011w/VpQozXsMpfI/AAAAAAAACJM/ekjyLVOKPzg/s1600/IMG_9398.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3XbW3xt011w/VpQozXsMpfI/AAAAAAAACJM/ekjyLVOKPzg/s320/IMG_9398.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xqsdyNxpXTY/VpQo3Y9hejI/AAAAAAAACJU/Q0URfHbyzwU/s1600/IMG_9393.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xqsdyNxpXTY/VpQo3Y9hejI/AAAAAAAACJU/Q0URfHbyzwU/s320/IMG_9393.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We decided to redo these chairs ourselves. I figured it was pretty easy, and that we could handle it. We bought an ostrich type of leather at the Mill Outlet with two different kinds of padding. First we pushed the bottoms out of the chair.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oVAI4Sgw_vY/VpQoyipO3-I/AAAAAAAACJI/1GRrMKK_gdg/s1600/IMG_9397.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oVAI4Sgw_vY/VpQoyipO3-I/AAAAAAAACJI/1GRrMKK_gdg/s320/IMG_9397.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;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stripped off the fabric and then the padding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6MQGoxIeE8/VpQowCWx9BI/AAAAAAAACIw/r8X6Nu560bQ/s1600/IMG_9394.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6MQGoxIeE8/VpQowCWx9BI/AAAAAAAACIw/r8X6Nu560bQ/s320/IMG_9394.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
It was in pretty bad shape. I used these for my patterns for the filler and the leather. We put the padding on the frame and then wrapped with the leather. This is where we needed two people, 4 hands, and a staple gun. We pulled it tight and smooth and stapled it onto the frame. The outcome was amazing. You might not be able to tell how amazing it is in the pics, but we truly made these chairs like new.<br />

<br />
I think I will need to do more DIY projects! It was a lot of fun.<br />

I love trees and leaves! I just love working with tree stamps as well. I adore this tree stamp from Fun Stampers Journey, and this sentiment. I sponged several colors of ink to make this card look like there were mountains in the back and a sun rise with the trees in the foreground. I hope you like the card. </div>

The last one that I went to, I painted a vase of hydrangeas. <br />
<br />
Of course we started off with a blank canvas. We painted the background with yellow and then started putting some green on it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LIytC6AGiHg/Vo2nesnszgI/AAAAAAAACHg/1FhtWliSSTw/s1600/IMG_9560.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LIytC6AGiHg/Vo2nesnszgI/AAAAAAAACHg/1FhtWliSSTw/s320/IMG_9560.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
We then painted the vase:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2A6kEuH-HSI/Vo2nkWYAO2I/AAAAAAAACH4/XadKXJJ0A-k/s1600/IMG_9561.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2A6kEuH-HSI/Vo2nkWYAO2I/AAAAAAAACH4/XadKXJJ0A-k/s320/IMG_9561.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then we added some leaves that would be behind the flowers we eventually paint:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zfAUUUjDtJM/Vo2nkEp0UnI/AAAAAAAACHw/ePhbuTzTVvU/s1600/IMG_9562.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zfAUUUjDtJM/Vo2nkEp0UnI/AAAAAAAACHw/ePhbuTzTVvU/s320/IMG_9562.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We then put in some background shadowing that would look good after the flowers are painted, but at the moment I thought they looked awful:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vGqz7-W_kos/Vo2nk8RwS7I/AAAAAAAACH8/kjcncxsZGIg/s1600/IMG_9563.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vGqz7-W_kos/Vo2nk8RwS7I/AAAAAAAACH8/kjcncxsZGIg/s320/IMG_9563.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We then started painting the hydrangea flowers. Now it is starting to look like a painting:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UT-Nm1wN3Pg/Vo2nmj4ZIuI/AAAAAAAACII/mqGtzbKCeP8/s1600/IMG_9564.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UT-Nm1wN3Pg/Vo2nmj4ZIuI/AAAAAAAACII/mqGtzbKCeP8/s320/IMG_9564.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
This is the final picture of the painting. I actually think it turned out good. <br />

These are my boxer puppies! We adore them. They are about 5 months apart in age. Sampson, the youngest and the shortest, turned 1 on December 1st. Maximus turned 1 on August 18th. They have totally made our lives fun and busy. We really missed our other two dogs that died over the last year and they have brought joy back into our lives. This is the picture that I sent out on my Christmas cards this year. My husband took this picture as they were waiting for me to come home from work. This is what they do everyday!

I guess it has. I cannot believe how time has flown. I have spent the last year being a consultant for Fun Stamper's Journey - absolutely love this company. My web address is www.funstampersjourney.com/368. Please look at what the amazing products that we have. I think you will love the dies and stamp sets. I teach workshops in my home, so if you are in the Raleigh area, you might want to get involved.<br />
<br />
I have also been selling my creations at a local artist store. I have really enjoyed doing that and have gotten a lot of followers. The store in Raleigh closed on Christmas, but is moving to the Wilmington, NC area right on the main drag. I will still be selling my cards there and will have more exposure. It has been great fun doing this.<br />
<br />
My husband and I bought a cabin in Western North Carolina in 2015 and have been enjoying having some great down time in the mountains with our two boxer puppies. <br />
<br />
I am vowing to publish more on my blog this year - I know, I know, I have said that before. I have actually made a calendar entry in my phone to remind me to do it daily. We will see if this works.<br />
<br />
For now, I will leave you with a photo we took in Italy when we were there for 2.5 weeks in July, 2015. We had the best time. Our daughter, Brittany, was there for two months before us studying abroad. What a trip that was. I will post more about it in the weeks to come!<br />

I believe they are peacock feathers. I have made some amazing cards with these stamps this week. I am really enjoying this stamp set. I just want to show one card that I made to see what you think.<br />

This was requested by the same woman that bought the reveal cards the other day. Her friend had a boy and she needed a card. <div>

I made the card below for her.</div>

It is a store in my neighborhood that hosts the local artists and sells their creations. I had a special order the other day for a couple of "reveal" cards. I have to admit that I did not know what those were originally, but when I did some research I found out that reveal parties and cards are very popular right now.<br />
<br />
Here are the cards that I made for this lady.<br />
<br />

The doctor will write on the inside and then seal the envelope. The reveal party will be when they open the envelope. Really pretty cool!<br />
<br />
Wish I were going to be there!<br />

I am teaching a workshop every month now and we are making some great projects. <br />
<br />
The first workshop was in January. I posted teasers on the facebook page for my group. These are the teasers. I will post the real projects later in the week.<br />

<br />
It was such a bad year last year - we had so much loss. So far this year is so much better. We have two new puppies and we are so enjoying them. We got Maximus in November. He is now 5 months old. He gets along well with our 14 year old beagle.<br />
<br />

I received a call from a lady about doing a card for her brother. Her brother was diagnosed with lung cancer. He is a very positive and upbeat person though, and has a particular saying that he loves.<br />
<br />

The store is called Going Local NC. I have been enjoying selling my cards at this store. <br />
<br />
My display in the store is shown below:<br />

I have a 6 month lease to start and hope that this works well. The store just opened so it is still getting it's name out. I also do special orders so if you are interested, I can make a card to order and mail to you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Tomorrow I will show you a special order card that I have just been commissioned to do.</div>

This card will go into the gift bags that the bridesmaids will receive. The colors for the wedding are black, white and emerald green. I designed this card. I am going to see if this is what they are looking for. Hopefully they will like this card, otherwise I have some other ideas.<br />

This summer my daughter and I went to one and painted a beach scene. I now have this in my office at work where I can dream of being right there and not working away.<br />
<br />
I always share pictures that show my progress - always starting with the blank canvas.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PTiD5jZ2gds/U-eagm-TPjI/AAAAAAAAB_E/IZJCx0_TZP4/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PTiD5jZ2gds/U-eagm-TPjI/AAAAAAAAB_E/IZJCx0_TZP4/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+1.jpg" height="246" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next we added the horizon, the sky, the beach and the water.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uCDgnpOdj7Y/U-eaieJzs3I/AAAAAAAAB_M/4pWdx3euaME/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uCDgnpOdj7Y/U-eaieJzs3I/AAAAAAAAB_M/4pWdx3euaME/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+2.jpg" height="247" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we added the path that we would be taking to the water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zStu7x_8SqU/U-eakAdgQWI/AAAAAAAAB_U/K6aqylTj7e0/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zStu7x_8SqU/U-eakAdgQWI/AAAAAAAAB_U/K6aqylTj7e0/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+3.jpg" height="211" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we added the tufts of seagrass.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-goIEuuNq4u0/U-ea1CeHrsI/AAAAAAAAB_s/_4ik6nC76oc/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-goIEuuNq4u0/U-ea1CeHrsI/AAAAAAAAB_s/_4ik6nC76oc/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+4.jpg" height="222" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then the shadows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IRbfpCJOQgk/U-eaqrZ-qtI/AAAAAAAAB_c/fLmGCiHxLiw/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IRbfpCJOQgk/U-eaqrZ-qtI/AAAAAAAAB_c/fLmGCiHxLiw/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+5.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we finished the picture by adding the fence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-js2Delt247g/U-easTu3fGI/AAAAAAAAB_k/lqiXKnkDxSk/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-js2Delt247g/U-easTu3fGI/AAAAAAAAB_k/lqiXKnkDxSk/s1600/Beach+Scene+canvas+6.jpg" height="246" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I adore this picture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Wednesday,</div>

I save lots of items, so picking what to use was the biggest challenge. I decided on a Birthday card that I had received. I disassembled it and used the parts to make a new card. I also used a ribbon that was attached to an inside of a shirt that I had bought previously. I also used scrap paper so nothing in this card was new.<br />
<br />
I hope you like my Green Birthday Card.<br />

I have not posted in a while because we have just had so much loss this year. Maybe things have taken a turn now but I am not sure and I have not had the desire to do much creating lately. <br />
<br />
One thing that I know that has been great this year is spending time with girlfriends, and friends in general. My besties have made this year fun! We have done a lot together and have enjoyed all of the good times we spend together. <br />
<br />
Love my friends!<br />

I am really enjoying doing this. <br />
<br />
This morning I made Strawberry Biscuits. This is as easy as taking a biscuit recipe and adding 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 cup of chopped fresh strawberries. Strawberries are abundant this time of year and this is the perfect way to enjoy them for breakfast or even a dessert type dish after dinner.<br />
<br />

This has been a year of loss and my heart has been deeply saddened. So of course, the first post that I am going to do is going to be a tribute to my beloved boxer that I lost in January. His name was Murphy. Cindy, at Stamping Scrapping, has designed some beautiful stamps called <a href="http://www.angelwingsrubberstamps.com/category_7/Digital-Images.htm" target="_blank">Angel Wings</a>. I chose the Angel Wings with Pawprint to highlight on my card. I colored it with <a href="http://www.stampingscrapping.com/category_289/Copic-Markers.htm" target="_blank">copic markers</a> and then a <a href="http://www.stampingscrapping.com/category_1334/Wink-Of-Stella-Markers.htm" target="_blank">Wink of Stella glitter marker</a>. I used <a href="http://www.stampingscrapping.com/item_11115/Tim-Holtz-Idea-Ology--GLASSINE-STASH-PAPER-PAD.htm" target="_blank">Tim Holtz Glassine paper</a> and <a href="http://www.stampingscrapping.com/item_4175/Basic-Grey-Collection-Pack-12-X-12--ESKIMO-KISSES.htm" target="_blank">Basic Grey Eskimo Kiss paper</a> on the front of the card. <br />

We had so much fun painting and socializing with others there. As I always like to do, I took progressive pics of the painting that we were doing. I almost forgot to take a pic of the blank canvas so there is some blue on the canvas. <br />
<br />

<br />
We started off painting the blue background on the painting.<br />
<br />

<br />
We then started painting the petals with a mix of orange and yellow.<br />
<br />

Go ECU!Today we are leaving for Spring Parents Weekend at East Carolina University (ECU). My husband and I went to ECU and now our daughter is there. This weekend will be packed with events. We are going to several presentations, a mixer, a meeting for the Parents Council that we are on, and a basketball game. It will be good to see Brittany. I miss her and always love to see her. <br />
<br />
So, all of this inspired me to make a Purple and Gold Pirates Card. We really are diehard ECU fans!<br />

I started out making a card that was only going to be black and white. I then found the ladybug ribbon and then wanted to use that and the new punch. It was a card that evolved. I love these three colors together. I believe it makes a classic looking card!<br />
