Ornamental Pine Celebration

Hi there and happy Friday!  Today's quick card was intended as a masculine birthday card but could easily be changed to a Christmas card.  This was another sample from our Card Buffet display board.  There's just something about pine trees and pine cones that I love!  So, of course, this set is a favorite from the Stampin' Up! 2014 Holiday Catalog.

Must finish packing for our 2015 Calendar Class on Sunday.  But before signing off, birthday wishes go out to my oldest daughter today!  I love you!  Her birthday this year is extra special since she's celebrating on safari in East Africa!  The company she works for asked if she'd lead the Christmas safari tour and, of course, she accepted.  Being an international tour director is the perfect job for her!  Not that I'm a proud mama or anything.  Lol

Hope you have a great weekend and thank you so much for stopping in today!

A Christmas Cardinal

Hi there!  Today the sun is shining - finally!  A little bit of snow is predicted for tomorrow morning and cloudy skies.  Ugh!  Anyway...today's card was inspired by my friend and former upline, Pam D'Urso.  Years ago, she sent us a Christmas card similar to the one above.  I always wanted to re-create her card and this was the year.  Plus, it was perfect for our Card Buffet. 

Must get going to finish some things around here.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by today!

Weekly Deals & Thank You!

Hi there!  It's a gray and rainy day.  What a complete change from yesterday!  That's St. Louis weather for ya!  Spent most of yesterday morning and afternoon running errands with our son and a family dinner at a local restaurant that evening to celebrate his birthday.  It was nice to have our whole family together again.  That doesn't happen often since everyone is so busy.  But enough about that.  Let's get to the reason you came here.....to see ideas.
The above photo is a 3x3 thank you note card made from the Ornamental Pine stamp set by Stampin' Up!  Love this set!  Each month a little note card is slipped into my customer's order bags or mailed to those who placed an on-line order.  These note cards are just a very small token of my appreciation to my customers!  This was the note card for October orders, which also has a sentiment from the And Many More set.  Such a versatile set!  See it here.  It contains sentiments for almost every ocassion.
