blue nativity
Today I’m entering AAA cards Blue Blue Blue Christmas, the image is an A Day for Daisies and i used a lot of blue in coloring it, i also used a Darcie star embossing folder to get a bunch of stars coloring the brightest stars with stickles to get it sparklie. Here’s a card without the embossed stars, although simple is nice i like embossed stars.
LIM 200th
This morning the Less Is More blog is celebrating it’s 200th challenge. So here’s a celebration card. I printed the congrats and then used a spellbinder to cut and emboss a spellbinder feather, added twine circles, and colored the feather tip blue before gluing it to the card. Congratulations ‘Less is More’, my favorite card challenge.
friday shopping
The new A day for Daisy challenge is a get sketchy… here’s my entry using one of their Scotty dog digital images… a good card for this black Friday… I’m not shopping today.
Thanksgiving 2014
Saw these flowers in front of a flower shop in Long Beach yesterday… very cute very thanksgiving.

Three challenges this evening… the sketch from Tuesday morning sketches, the colors form Color Throwdown and the challenge buttons or bows form Top Tip Tuesday. .. I like the centered one better than the off center tms sketch.
birthday at Disneyland
this card is a thank you for a few of my Jazzercise sisters that went to Disneyland on my birthday to be in the evening parade. What a great beginning for this beautiful southern California day (weather low 70’s in the am and a little higher in the afternoon). We entered the park early enough to get Haunted house, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mr toad(yes I’m a frog lover) and It’s a small World rides done the morning. Then da da da dah… we had lunch and unfortunately i ate something bad and was very sick and Cheryl made sure i was accompanied to the first aid station… i stayed there till i was driven home that evening. My thanks for the great way the Disneyland first aid staff treated me… the Disneyland first aid station is a very comfortable place to be sick in, first class treatment comfortable beds, staff that were interested and had valuable emergency information and a pepto bismol like medication that really helped me! interesting birthday, wish i could have made the parade but the day was a very memorable 66th birthday anyway!
the picture next picture is Lisa, me and Cheryl going into its a small world
