BLESSINGS....

Hello Everyone- I have TWO POSTS TODAY  so when you are done here - check out THIS post!!! I also have BLOG CANDY HERE

Today will be a day of cooking for me and best of all my sweetie has the day off! He has been gone most of the past month - 4 weeks ago he was in Mexico, then Germany then the past 2 weeks he was in Missouri - so having him home is a REAL TREAT!!!


My card today uses the wonderful stamps from DRS DESIGNS. Some of my FAVORITE stamps are these Plaid Backgrounds that DRS Designs carries! This one is the Large Original Plaid. First I stamped it in Real Red ink and then in the opposite diagonal in Old Olive. I stamped the Apache Blessing on the Labels 18 Spellbinders Die.


Here are a few more details...


Accessories: Poinsettia Tear Drops, ODBD Labels 18 Spellbinders Die, Classy Cards 'n Such Fanciful Flourish 


This second project I ran through my Big Shot and used my floral Sizzix embossing floral folder.
This adorable box crayon box comes from Creative Cuts and More. I just love the ease of use from the die cuts from Creative Cuts and More!! They make fast, fun and affordable gifts!


I figure this will be one of my last AUTUMN projects! I need a gift for a helper in a class I am teaching, as a special thank you for her help. I used the Autumn Wording Square and colored the image with Copics B21, YG67, YG17 and E49. I cut around the square and matted it with Chocolate Chip cardstock. Popped it up with Glue dots and wrapped around some Bashful blue striped ribbon and WAH-LAH! All done! :)

I hope you enjoyed my projects today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!!!
