Hi anyone that comes to visit, I haven’t posted in a while … Not that I haven’t been making cards, I just haven’t posted any of them because I’ve been lazy. Oh – and I bought a house that decided to have a several unexpected issues and I’ve been working to get those challenges resolved. I’ve decided to start posting all the cards that I’ve made over the past year. I did not keep track of layouts, materials etc. If I remember what I used, I’ll add that information. Please enjoy!

Christmas Truck ...

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? ~Stephen Levine

Good morning,
Today I am sharing another card made with an image by the talented and missed Sandra Caldwell of Babycakesdnd who is now drawing and laughing with friends and family long gone from this world.

I printed this image and colored it a while back and have been sitting on it. I pulled it out and created another sweet Christmas card

While her shop is still active, I am unsure how long that will be. Sadly, you will not be able to purchase this image but she has many more to look at!

Nesting ...

I have noticed that when chickens quit quarrelling over their food, they often find that there is enough for all of them. I wonder if it might not be the same way with the human race.
~Don Marquis, "random thoughts by archy," archy s life of mehitabel, 1933

Happy Howlidays ...

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. ~Author unknown, 1940s

Good morning!
I noted in a previous post that Sandra Caldwell, aka Babycakesdnd recently passed away. As a member of her Design Team, I had the pleasure of being able to color her images before they made their way into her shop.

Today I am sharing another image that never made it to the shop and therefore a one-of-a-kind image!
 

Isn’t he adorable? If you look closely enough, you’ll see he is trying to lick the candy cane on the sly!

Supplies, 5 x 7 card
  • Image #3793 Puppy for Christmas printed on Hammermill Color Copy
  • Card stock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
  • Design Paper from my Scrap box
  • Flower embellishment from my stash
  • Ink from Memories
  • ProMarkers
  • Sentiment from Avery Elle “Santa Paws”
  • Tiny Snowflake on nose from Stampin up!

To Sandra with Love ...

To think of death, to hold ideas or views or beliefs about it, is simply to hold views, ideas, or beliefs about life. The first great idea, perhaps, that we want to hold deeply is that death is not the end of life but simply an event in life. ~Lilian Whiting (1847–1942), "The Unseen World: The Incident of Death," The World Beautiful: Second Series, 1896

Hello All,
Today I am sharing a card I made with an image created by Sandra Caldwell, aka Babycakesdnd. Unfortunately, this image never made it to her shop as she passed away unexpectedly last week.

Heaven has gained another wonderful, kind and talented soul!

Needless to say, those of us who considered her a friend are feeling her absence both personally and creatively. 

As part of her Design Team, we decided to go forward and post our cards & projects in memory of her. We will also be posting other cards & projects made with her images over the next couple of days and invite everyone who has and loves her images to please share on her Facebook Fan Page found HERE

Rest in Peace my Friend ...

  • Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base) and Stampin Up!
