Computer Issues and Cards

Hey there friends! I've been struggling with computer issues off and on over the last couple of months and it finally came time to upgrade to a new computer. I still had a desktop Vista and thought I was fine until little things started happening. I tried to put it off, but the time came and I now have a Windows 10 laptop with touch screen. Yeah I jumped a few steps in between, but I should be good for awhile. I've slowly been getting things transferred over and fortunately this new computer came with software to help with that. I organized my pictures as well and everything is in it's right folders. That was a big task for sure and one I'd been putting off for sometime now so it sure feels good to have it done.

You will notice on the right hand side of this page I have posted the retired list. You can just click on the picture and it will take you to the retired list. Remember to get those things you just can't live without ASAP because things are only available while supplies last. You can order by clicking on the SHOP NOW button on the left of this page or you can contact me direct.

Back again! LOL! I started this post and never finished it so I thought I'd just start right where I left off. I've got a fun card to share with you today. I made it to the top three in my Survivor group and I got the second highest votes so I came in second, which meant that I had to send a card to the winner. This stamp set will be available in the upcoming catalog. I just couldn't resist this set when it had a puppy and a kitty in it. I hope the winner (Michele) Beth Robinson likes it.

Isn't it cute? I used the Sheltering Tree stamp set with it for the grass and the leaves on the tree. I couldn't leave that swing hanging in the air like that so I had to stamp some tree leaves so that you would know it was hanging from a BIG tree branch. My friend and upline Amy will appreciate that it's not hanging in just midair. Right Amy? ;) I used the Build a Tree punch and punched out the top and used it to sponge the clouds. The pillows and the kitty are popped up on dimensionals.

Well I'm going to stop here so I can get this posted. I promise I'm going to get back to posting on a regular basis. Hang with me!

Blessings,

Renee

"OSAT Blog Hop - May Flowers"

I was really excited about this blog hop although I had no idea what I was going to do for it. This first pic is of the flowers in our yard and yes the dandelions are flowers. This picture just makes me happy. I love Spring flowers although I am so not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination. These flowers were planted by the original owner of this house. We've lived her 30 years so those flowers are just doing their thing without any help from me.

OK, onto the hop. You may have arrived here by the way of the amazing Tina Riddle's blog. She always has such great projects. Here are my projects for this month. I hope you like them. I love that they are so bright and cheery. The Post It note holder is going to go on my kitchen island. I normally have a pad there, but now it's going to look pretty.

I used Wink of Stella on the flower tips and I tried real hard to capture it in the photo, but I didn't do
a very good job at it.

I made the flowers using punches and the Cotten Paper (sadly retirng). You could easily duplicate these using regular cardstock as well. I've done those as well before.

Now you can head over to Lori Mueller's place and see the awesome projects she has for us this

month.

If you get lost you can always find your way by visiting the list here.

Renee

"OSAT Blog Hop - Tic Tac Toe"

Well it's time for the April OSAT Hop! Can you believe it? I know for me time has gotten away on me. I've had a terrible Fibromyalgia flare up, a flooded office/stamp room, my husband, Frank had a cousin pass away and I had a cousin and an aunt pass away all in the last couple of weeks. It's been a bit overwhelming to say the least, but I am so glad to be back in my office and creating. The weather is looking better too as we've had snow still. That becomes such an ugly word in April. Well let's get rid of the ugly and show some pretty. I used one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions catalog. It's called Birthday Blooms.

Can you pick out the Tic Tac Toe items I used on this card? The items are LACE, GLITTER PEN,

RIBBON.

Hopefully you can see the Wink of Stella in this close up pic. It's so hard to capture in a photo, but in person Wink of Stella is beautiful and really adds to a project because it is so shiny and glittery. I stamped the big bloom twice and cut one out to layer on top with Stampin'Up! dimensionals to give it whatelse? Dimension of course. I used Stampin'Write markers to color in the image.

Here is my 3D project. I decided on a frame since I have so many that I've purchased and somehow I

never seem to use them up. I love frames and I love the saying I used on this one. The saying if from

the set Hello Life. I've embossed it in black on the Birthday Bouquet DSP. The image was fussy cut and popped up on dimensionals as well. Can you guess the Tic Tac Toe that I use on this one? I used RIBBON, GLITTER AND DOTS. I know technically I used the Wink of Stella, but it's still glitter. I

attached the ribbon with glue dots and added a Blossom Accents in the middle of the bow. I used

glue dots on my ribbon tails to get them to drape like I wanted them to. I think this would make a nice gift and a great reminder to the recipient to do more of what makes them happy.

You can visit the next amazing blog by clicking on the next button below. It is my friend Andrea Tucker and she always has wonderful projects. I also have a list of all the SU items I used to make these projects below as well. Enjoy the hop!

Blessings,

Renee
