HOLIDAY CARDS

Finally finished my 30 cards. I used 3 stamps
I received from Tonniece as one of my birthday
gift (early) . I used bought homemade paper.
I ironed 3 sheets of Angelina. Cut off the fringe
making the Angelina into large squares.
Then I cut up rows and punched them with
a snow flake punch. So I got to use it all on
my cards. Snowflakes on the front, and a cut
out of the strips which were all different shapes.
I used double side tape on the strips, on the
punched out part I sprinkled sparkles:):)
I won't even go into how I colored the stamps
because I used LOTS of different things
to much to mention like 9 different things LOL.
So the ones going out of Canada will all be out by
Fri. I hope everyone likes them..

Saned 2 they are all different, Scanner isn't
working great with the colors..

I have stamped three different fairys inside,
this is one of them.

This is my fav fairy..

EASY HOME MADE ENVELOPES...

I'm making my own cards, that great but
then you need envelopes, like 30 of them..
So I saw on line some where they made them
with pics from magazines..
I got out my Oprah and Beautiful Homes
magazines and started ripping out whole
pages with interesting pages. I tried to get
them with no writing or faces. That's just my
choice.
I undid a envelope traced it on a old plastic
place mate and cut out the template.
You can kind of see through this one, it
made it easier to see where I wanted to
position it on the page.
then traced them and cut them out
then folded.

Here is the page after I cut it out of
the template. When laying the template down
put it so some of the pic can be seen..
Pages aren't that big so I had to put them on
a slant..

The bottom one is the back where you
can see the folds and a few more on top...

Now how lovely did they turn out I absolutly love them....

TAGGED, TAGGED, TAGGED

Okay this is a little hard

since I tell all about myself
hard think of things I haven't said LOL.

1. I was married once, WHAT! yes a very good friend of mine was living here as a refugee. His mother was dying and he wanted to go home and see her before she did. So he asked if I could help him so I did. We got married and he had his chance to see her before she pasted away. We are still best friends, we got divorced and he got married and has a daughter. She came with her dad last Christmas and brought me a gift, she wanted to thank me for helping her father because if I hadn't she wouldn't be here. He always says he owes me his life, I don't think that, he is a very good man...
2. I run a art group on yahoo called Like Minded Artist, there are some wonderful artist in my group. I have made a lot of fabulous friends all over the world. I feel privileged to call them my friend. I am honoured to have this group..
3. I have lived on my own for soooo many years I can't fathom it being any other way, well unless I find myself that lovely Scotsman I dream about heheheh!!!!
4. I have a best friend,Tonniece http://tonyzworldofart.blogspot.com/ we have been friends for 40 yrs or so, I wonderful to have a cherished friend for that long and I am blessed to have her in my life.....
5. By the time I was born my parents were older so they both passed away when I was in my 20s. My oldest sister is 72 and the youngest is 48. My poor mother was having babies most of her life. We were all spread apart so my older sisters were almost like my aunts when I was young. Now we are like sisters..
6. I have had a chance to travel thanks to my youngest sister Sandyhttp://smarcoux.blogspot.com/. She lives in England, I have been to Germany, beautiful Barcelona, and my favorite place Scotland. I never dreamed I would see any of these places...

7. When I was young I wanted to go to Africa to help the poor, so instead I ended up working and helping the homeless and abused here.. I always knew I was born to help others and I dedicated my life to that. Even just putting a smile on someones face is great thing for me and them...

OK that is finally done, I'm not going to tag anyone else, they have all be tagged before..

Have a wonderful day Dianne
