First Sunday in Advent

Advent is here; the journey has begun.

Fun flowers

The colors in this photograph are a bit off, but this is another card (like most in the set previously posted) using a emboss/resist technique. The stamped flowers were clear embossed, then different colors were swiped over the cardstock. The embossed flowers do not pick up the color, hence the "resist" part of the name.

Hogwarts

Well, maybe not too much like Hogwarts, but this stamp did remind us of Harry Potter's world. This is the last design from the set of cards.

Thanksgiving

All things that are

beautiful

think on these things Happy Thankgsiving

More sunflowers

Another design from the same set of cards.

From the set

Here's another card from the set. Coincidentally it happens to be a rather autumnal card, which works out nice for posting this week.

Sunflowers

Another card in the set made for my friend.

Musically minded rooster

What the background sheet music and rooster have in common I may never know, but there you have it. This was one design from a collection of cards that I made for a friend.

Wishing you a wishing ewe

A wishing ewe could be a very good thing to have. This one even has a magic wand; most excellent. For fun, I've been revisiting cards that I made several years ago. This is one of them.

More coolness from that cool place

I love this simple yet mesmerizing (for me anyway) design. This is part of the outside area around the American Indian Museum (photo below). You don't even have to go into the building to enjoy it. Although, I highly recommend a visit. Both inside and out.

A cool place

Thanksgiving is next week, which makes me think of this building. A good place to explore, enjoy and imagine in.

November trees

The leaves are gone and thoughts are turning to snow...

Benjamin Bunny

This card was made and mailed out quite some time ago. Early last year, perhaps. The Benjamin Bunny stamp has been around in my stash for well over 20 years now. It came from a stamp shop in downtown Anchorage, which I remember thinking was one of the most amazing places I'd ever seen. A whole shop just for stamps! Who knew?

Warm wishes

Warm birthday wishes - stay cozy! A similar card design might pop up this year for Christmas; we'll have to see...

More crazy socks

Crazy, cheery socks to keep warm in on windy November days. Hmm, a cup of tea sounds nice, too...

View from the compost pile

Early November view from the compost pile.

A chicken for every pot

Love this chicken!

Simple cherries

Remembering the beautiful cherries we picked this spring at the farm. Good times.

The birthday fairy

Flying in and sprinkling a bit of birthday cheer.
