I have been very busy with family and the death of my sweet daddy. I have been painting a good bit this year. I'm getting ready for an art show this Saturday. If you happen to be in the area, come by the Vestavia Hills Civic Center for a visit. It is the annual Central Alabama Artist Guild Show. There are 50 artist showing this year. And the variety of art is fantastic. Here are a few florals I have done. These are quite small and can be used in most any room.<br />

Just a few photos of my tent and some of my artwork. It was a very successful day. I sold several paintings of various sizes, and numerous little pumpkin paintings. And if you noticed the little dog bed and water bowl. Well that is because my little fun fellow Captain was at there with me. He loves to go to art shows and greet all the two and four legged friends. He had so much fun!</div>

I added some sunflowers and a bow to complete it. For about fifteen years that wreath spent its life in the attic. Well, I decided to give it a new look and use it. So, here it is on my front door. <br />

I am back from my absence with the team and so glad to be here. I am been extremely busy completing my last year of 37 teaching kindergarten. Packing up 37 years of my life and moving things was interesting, sometimes difficult, and sometimes exciting. I am now officially a retired teacher!<br />
<br />
I am excited to participate in our challenge this week Called Three In A Row.<br />

Well March is here, Daylight Savings Time is with us , Spring is right around the corner, and the wearing of the green day will be here is less than a week. St Patrick's Day is always a fun day with friends and especially fun in my kindergarten classroom. We all wear green and eat all kinds of green things. We do a mini unit on Ireland and listen to lots of Irish music. We play games and I have all kind of things for the prizes. I also have cards for the children. Take a look at this cutie.<br />

The little dog with the shamrock is a digital stamp from <a href="http://www.papercraftingworld.com/">http://www.papercraftingworld.com</a>. I colored the little dog to look like a King Charles Spaniel all dressed up for the Wearing of the Green. The sentiment is also a <a href="http://www.papercraftingworld.com/">Paper Crafting World</a> digital stamp. I added a little yellow and green ink to the edges and layered it to dark green paper. I used Spellbinder dies to cut and emboss the two images. I decided to add the cute polka dotted ribbon to the card and then embellish it with sone glittered shamrocks. Happy Saint Patrick's Day to one and all!!!</div>

I am just so excited to be here and share a special card I made for a special friend. My dear friend Ruth turned 105 on February 14th! Is that amazing or what!!! Yes, she is 105 years old, lives independently in her house. She does her own yard work, knits caps for babies born premature, cans lots of vegetables in the summer, and best of all, makes a carmel cake to die for!! And she does all of this without wearing hearing aides or eyeglasses. <br />

I made this card for Ruth's birthday. I know how much she likes pink and loves flowers. The cute cake is a digital stamp from <a href="http://www.papercraftingworld.com/">Paper Crafting World</a>. I did a little inking around the edgeswith some pink and them added the little flowers. The flowers are gummed stamps from Jolee's Boutique. I also created a border for the card with hearts. (I just had to add the hearts border with her birthday beingon Valentines Day)! I topped that border with a flowered trim that I had in my sewing stash. The Happy Birthday sentiment is also a digital stamp from <a href="http://www.papercraftingworld.com/">Paper Crafting World</a>. It too was inked with some pink. Now I know that you would like to see a photo of my friend, Ruth, so……… HERE SHE IS!!</div>

I began the card with the delightful little digi from <a href="http://www.papercraftingworld.com/">Paper Crafting World</a>. Is it not just adorable!! I used chalk to color the little puppies. The embossed mats are cut from Spellbinder dies. They are inked in bronze. I created the sentiment on the computer and framed it in a red swiss dot paper. I added some fun little puffy hearts for the glitz. And then completed the card with two pretty ribbons. All papers are from Martha Stewart.</div>

The cute little bear with the cocoa is from <a href="http://papercraftingworld.com/">Paper Crafting World</a>. Is it not just adorable! The hot pink snowflake paper is from Recollections. I'thought it was the perfect touch of color for my little winter card. The sentiment was done on my computer. And I added the little polka dotted ribbon for a little whimsy and texture. </div>

I just loved this little Pennsylvania Dutch design. It reminds me of some cross stitching I did as a child. And later on I made a pillow of a design similar to this doing crewel work when I was in college many years ago. Sounds like I'm living in the past doesn't it! I decided to color the design using these little Twinkling H2O's paints. It is hard to tell in the photo, but they are so bright and pretty and have the most amazing shimmer to them. You can find them at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">Amazon</a>. </div>

I used two different cut and embossed Spellbinder mats to layer the image. The papers are from DCWV and K&Co. I inked the edges of the mats with a little gold and bronze. I cut a little Fluer Di Lis border with a Spellbinders die for the bottom of the card and then added a gemmed pink butterfly border from Micheal's to the top. I used some gold and green crinkled ribbon to compliment the colors of the card. The little "To Cheer You" sentiment is a stamp from <a href="http://justritepapercraft.com/">Just Rite Stampers</a>. </div>

I have a card to share with you today. This sweet little card is 6.5 X 5 and is made with paper from DCWV. I got the adorable little Tea For Two digital stamp from <a href="http://papercraftingworld.com/">Paper Crafting World</a> where you will find some of the cutest digital stamps and cut files!! I added some white vintage lace with aping ribbon and bow. And to complete the card I added a couple little buttons and the sweet little tag. And here is the sentiment I have on the inside of the card.</div>

Don't you just love this sweet little fella pushing his cart of pumpkins. I used papers from a fall pack that I got last year at JoAnn's. I added some raffia and a pretty plaid bow to the card. And to complete the embellishment, I added three little buttons. I hope you are all having a great day and counting your blessings. </div>

It is a work of art.<br />

So we are having a challenge this week at <a href="http://www.myshericrafts.blogspot.com/2013/10/my-sheri-crafts-challenge-121-nighttime.html">My Sheri Crafts</a> all about the night. There are so many wonderful things about night. But this month, my mind goes to Halloween. I love Halloween because all my birthday cakes were Halloween cakes. You see, my birthday is the day before Halloween. I also am a kindergarten teacher and we love making fall and Halloween projects in our classroom. Today, I have a simple little Halloween card for you.<br />

Who doesn't like a happy black cat withg green gemed eyes in the moonlight!! This little cat is adorned with a cute ribbon on his tail. His neck is just a wee bit too skinny for a collar or ribbon. The moon has some silver flourish and is inked in black. The gems at the top of the card help give this nighttime card more light. And the sentiment stamp is a favorite from Oriental Trading.</div>

I'm just thrilled to be here with you today!!! This week children throughout America are learning all about apples and celebrating the birthday of one of America's greatest legends, Johnny Appleseed. Yes, September 26th is Johnny Appleseed!!! As a kindergarten teacher of 30+ years, I have come to learn a lot of facts about apples and have cooked them in many ways. And one of my favorite ways to eat apples is with carmel! <br />
<br />
When I discovered this adorable image of Melin's, bear with a carmel apple, at <a href="http://mypapercrafting.com/">My Paper Crafting</a> I just had to make a card with it. Isn't it as cute as can be!!<br />
<br />

This is an A2 card with a Kraft base. I used a Spellbinders scalloped rectangle die to cut out the image. It is inked with lime and bronze Colorbox stamps. The papers are from K&Co. I added a little brown a dn white polka dotted ribbon and some sparkly leaf stickers for a little glam. The sentiment is from Joy's Life "Its All Fall Pun" stamp set. </div>

This card is made using the Sweet Treats cartridge. I just love this little cupcake tower. I added some glitter glue to the icing. The cupcake border was made with an EK Success border punch. And I added a little brown polka dot ribbon for some texture. </div>

And it is all about Back To School. Now I must admit that this is my least favorite subjuct because I am a teacher of 35+ years and I am know ready to go back to school. I want my summer to be a little longer. But I have faced reality and have been working in my classroom for the past two days.<br />
<br />
With that being said, I had a difficult time making a project for this challenge. But now that it is complete, I really like what I did.<br />

The fun papers I used are from We R Memory Keepers. And The solid papers are from my scraps. The little schoolhouse and desk are cuts from the Heritage cartridge. They are inked in brown. The sentimemt is from a Fiskars Memory stamp set. I use a little green paper ribbon for some texture and then completed the card with two little red buttons.</div>

I used the Doodlecharms cartridge to cut the sun. The waves were cut from Paper Dolls Everyday. And the flip flops were cut from Life's a Beach. I embellished the flip flops were some blingy flowers. The papers I used are from Bo Bunny, Recollections and DCWV. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Well, I must admit it took me a while to come up with an idea that I really liked. But, when I finally had in mind what to do, I loved it!!<br />

I began with the Sentimentals Cricut cartridge to cut the Beehive. I used K&Co paper for it. The bee and honeycomb shapes were cut from the Cricut Garden Soup cartridge. I used K&Co and DCWV papers for these cuts. Everything was inked with gold and bronze ink. I added the pretty dotted ribbon and bow for some texture and then completed the fromt of the card with the Thank You stamp from Inkadinkadoo. </div>

This is the inside of the card. I used the Garden Soup cartridge again for the honeycomb shapes. The U R were cut from George and Basic Shapes. I inked the honeycomb with gold and bronze. And then I went to the Just Because cartridge to cut the "Sweet as Honey" sentiment and honey jar. All paper for the inside of the card came from DCWV and K&Co. It too was inked with gold and bronze ink. </div>

And this week the challenge is <b>Anything Goes</b>!! I made a birthday card for the challenge. I have been wanting to use this Cricut cut for some time, but just have not had the time. I have been looking at several of the cuts on the Wrap It Up cartridge. And that is when I ran across this cut of this fabulous automobile. <br />

I just love this auto. I wanted to use red for sure. And then when I added the metallic gold to it, I knew I had what I wanted, an old automobile with great style!! <br />
<br />
The papers I used are all from my stash. I did a little inking with bronze around the mats. I decided to add the strip of glittery ribbon to create a more festive mood to the card. The sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps. And the scalloped circles are cut and embossed with two Spellbinder dies. The three gems were added just for fun.<br />
<br />
