Books and Videos, and Cards, Oh My!

Here's another video about how the older couple came to play in the Mayo Clinc lobby and what they do for others. They are a true inspiration to me with how they give of themselves.
  I also saw more of the beauty of fall all around me.  The leaves here are so colorful.  I love and hate this time of year.  I love the colors and walking in the leaves.  I hate it because I know that soon we'll be shoveling and driving through snow.  We're supposed to get another record year of snow.
Here are some more cards I made.  Having fun making shaker cards.
This is a card from a retired set called All Wrapped Up from SU.  I  used my stamp-a-ma-jig to place the candy in the jar.  I cut out three candies and added a dimensional to them.  I used daffodil ribbon.  The designer paper was cut with the laurel paper punch from Marths Stewart. I used a Tim Hold embossing folder for the background.

This was a fun shaker card to make with SU's foam frames.  I stamped the snowman and colored it in copic markers. I added a frame and acetate then stamped the snowflakes on white paper and edged it with bashful blue ink.  I added dimensionals to make the snowman stand up from the card.  I also stamped Merry Christmas and punched it out with the curly label punch.  I used a holly leaf embossing folder that I borrowed from Jane.

Here is a stamp set that Emily has.  We stamped in black ink then colored with watercolor crayons.  I sponged the edge with crumb cake ink.  I used the blossom nesty and the lace circle nestie.  The embossing folder is a Darice Christmas folder.  I added cherry ribbon and the text.

Here's another shaker card with daffodil and bashful blue paper and a pretty silver ribbon down the center.

I finally finished listening to a Danielle Steel book and I'm so glad I'm done with it.  It got to be almost unbelieveable at some points but I didn't want to forward the story and miss something.

Now I get to read the book I've been waiting to read.  It's a book by Beverly Lewis called The Mercy.

Have you listened to or read, On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet?  It's an amazing book about a boy and his life before WWII, during and after. I listened to it and really liked it.  I"m having fun getting books from the library that I can listen to while I make cards or drive to and from work.

Thanks for stopping by today. It's time to get some sleep for tomorrow, another work day.  Tomorrow we're supposed to get rain.  Seems like I work with so many people who get werather-related headaches.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Check out this video about Shoebox Christmas and a trip that Matthew West and his wife took to deliver the shoeboxes to children in remote places.  A smile can be understood in any language.

Bless you for stopping by.
