Sneak peeks Clear Dollar Stamps

Welcome to Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak peeks! All the sets you see the next few days are available on Nov. 1st at the Clear Dollar Stamps Store. Also showing you some sneak peeks today are Lori, Katie, Laurie, Angela, Tricia, Barb, Christi, Shell, Lisa and Nancy.
The first one I am showing you today is the scripture 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. I pulled out some older basic grey paper from my stack for the background. I added some wonderful white silk ribbon for a beautiful bow to tie it off.


Next is a journal that I recovered using the scripture. I really liked how Yvonne used the lacey squares to extend it into a larger panel. She was my inspiration for the long panel and I love how it turned out. This is one of the journals I will be selling at the bazarre in a few weeks also.




This little tote I made is using the new set called Healing Scriptures. I used a clear box that is 5x7 and cut it in half the length way. Used the two halves to make two little totes. Glued the nessties to the frnt and back and added some cards. This is a 4x4 size card tote.



These are the little cards in the tote. Another item for the bizarre yes. I am still working on stuff to sell and hope that I do well. I love this new basic grey Tinsel paper. Very simple set of cards for the tote.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day.

Such joy.....

I can't even begin to tell you how much joy Ranger has brought to our family. Here he is at 19 week. Isn't he just darling? His one ear has leaned over a bit but it will go back up soon. Talk about a wonderful puppy, he is so mild tempered and just fun. His coat has lightened up quite a bit however we have read that they will darken and lighten a lot till they are about a year and then they will have their final color. Yes that is a Colts collar he has on. :0) A wonderful gift from some friends, he is right there next to me watching the games too. hee hee learned a lot with this puppy such as your slippers are wonderful to stick your nose in and fall asleep, cats and dogs can be friends and play or atleast the kitty cat next door and Ranger play just fine together, 2 am is NOT the time to want to play regardless of what he might think, sleeping with your legs in the air hugging the wall is comfortable.... for a dog. ha ha I could go on with things I am learning. :0)

Lots of things going on lately which has been why I am so quiet. I am barely getting my posts done the night before hence why there haven't been a whole lot. We put our house up on the market so that means keeping the house spotless (not that it was bad before but now we are talking spotless) all the time, making sure the kids room is always picked up that in itself is a day's work, then trying to run out the door when a realtor calls with the kids and puppy in tow is not easy. So I am taking a wee break from stamping sorta. If you don't hear from me much you know why.

Moving in the same area just needing a bigger house if we can. Found the one we want to build if the one that is about ready sells before ours does. That means we might be living with the In-Laws for a bit. GASP... I know... I know... Hopefully that house will still be available when this one sells. hee hee Nothing like having your own space.

Sneak peeks for Clear Dollar Stamps start on Thursday 28th! Thanks for stopping in and see you later this week with my sneak peeks!

TT Sentiment Focus

This is for the Timeless Tuesday challenge *Sentiment Focus* using the new Christmas Classics set from Flourishes. I think this has a country feel to it with the buttons and crochet ribbon, I like how this turned out. My swag was colored and then cut out and popped up on dimensionals. The sparkle on the greenry didn't come out in the photo very well, however IRL it looks great. I am really loving the new Basic Grey Jovial buttons and I never thought I would find myself saying I love buttons. hee hee Betty I am sure you are excited for me. :0)
Yesterday blogger like freaked out on me and wouldn't let me add pictures to my blog. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Seems to be working fine as of last night. Just glad its working again. Helping out at the school today so I will be catching up on blogs later toay. Thanks for stopping by today!

Totally Stampalicious casing....

Finally blogger is working! This darling little card is for Totally Stampalicious Monday challenge.... To case a Design Team member. I choose the lovely and fun Sue aka Coffeestamper and this is her creation I cased. I used Cafe Scarlette, kept the layout but I changed the colors, omitted the top and bottom panel accents and added photo corners instead, then the added button and gold cord. Sue's gallery is awesome, if you choose to play along their is a prize on the line. Check out the TS Blog for all the details! Hope you play along with us. Have a great day.

Flourishes Classic Christmas

Yes Flourishes newest release is in stores now and ready to order! In case you missed it the new sets are Rejoice, Sweets of the Season, A Gift for you and Christmas Classics. Purchase the bundle pack and save yourself some extra cash!
I started making my own gift tags at Christmas a few years ago. I thought that the tag should be special and I had ideas that were better than store bought ones. I used the cardinal from the Christmas Classics set for this years tags. I love these Spellbinders Lacey circles, they are so cool. I added a little red ruffled ribbon and some silver smoke stack satin ribbon. There is a little bit of shimmer and sparkle on the branches, however they didn't come out in the photo.




Next are some quick little treats that I made. They each have a peppermint pattie in the middle. I just love the Spellbinders lacey squares also. :0) These are super simple and make quick little gifts or door prizes.

Check out the last of the sneaks from the girls today: Leslie, Dawn, Danielle, Laura, Christine, Julie

Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
