gently falling so sorry

I needed a sympathy card for a family friend. This is what I came up with. Rose and her husband and my parents were good friends for many years. I'm sending this card to her family. Wishing them all peace and strength to get through this difficult time.
The stamp sets I used: gently falling and so sorry.
The ink" pumpkin pie, rich razzleberry and old olive.
Thanks for stopping by.

Made this for the color challenge over at SCS. Had to use summer starfruit, Cajun craze and soft suede. These colors remind of the leaves changing here in NH. I have been walking for a few days trying to drop some weight. Hope the weather stays nice for a few more weeks. I'm going to hate walking in the dark and snow. Wish me luck. Yay, it's Friday and payday. Have a good one.

This is my new favorite stamp set. It's called Wetlands and it's from SU. Also loving the thinlets die cuts for making flip cards. It's so much easier than the old way. I hope SU makes more. The colors is used for this card: early espresso ink. The paper is very vanilla and marina mist.
Went to my 40th high school reunion, I still can't believe that I have been out of high school that long. Where does the time go? Guess that's it, thanks for stopping by.

Sahara Birds

This is the first time I have used this stamp set. It's from SU called Wetlands. I've seen a lot of people doing a technique with masking tape or painters tape. I used painters tape for this. Used sahara sand, soft sky and chocolate chip ink. I think this would make a great man card. Watching the Yankees, hopefully they will win and make the wild card. Then they could keep playing for a few more weeks.
Thanks for looking.

Slushy Flowers

It's been a while since I've posted a card. I made this for the color challenge over at SCS. All items are from SU. The color challenge: pear pizzazz, midnight muse and strawberry slush. The two stamps sets: Summer Silhouettes and Silly Salutations.

My mother's house is finally cleaned out and has been on the market for about 10 weeks. We have lowered the price twice. Everyone that sees the house says it's nice, they just don't like the layout. Not to much I can do about that. The realtor says that if it doesn't sell in the next 4 to 6 weeks we will probably be stuck with it over the winter.  Oh well. It is what it is.

I will try to be better at posting. Not sure if many people even look at my blog. Thanks for stopping by.
