Cozy Cabin

 

Hello! Enjoying some craft time with the Greetery's Sitting Pretty die set, making it into 

a Christmas card. 

All the stamps and dies I used are from the Greetery, including the banner from

their first holiday release, Christmas Eve. The little details  are from Speed Tagging.

Precious kitty is our own Miss Frizz, so named by my daughter-in-law because she

was a mess when she showed up in our yard. Abandoned and starving, dear Miss

Frizz became a favorite. You were never alone with Miss Frizz. Gentle. and cuddly,

she trained the kittens I brought home (also abandoned), and kept our home mouse free!

The tree is from Tree Trimmings.

Lots of snow from embossing paste and sparkle spray.

Hope you enjoyed a little Christmas inspiration today. Stay crafty!

Birthday Cabin

 

I have a fall card to share today, a birthday card for a friend.

Sitting Pretty is one of my top 10 Greetery sets, and here's why:

This is the view from our family cabin in Shaver Lake. So many of our friends have 

enjoyed this sweet scene with me, among them, the recipient of this card. I hope she 

enjoys the card as much as I did making it.

I love creating scenes like this, with details and layers. The mountains hold a special 

place in my heart. We in California have watched sadly as drought, and forest

mismanagement have led to more and more fires. Our cabin and the neighborhood 

were spared, while others were not. The fire crews assigned to Shaver 

surrounded our village, and diverted the fire around the town and neighboring

homes and cabins. Never have I been so thankful to so many valiant and

devoted men and women! They even texted many of us with pictures of

our property to let us know we were OK.

If you get a chance, there's a fabulous documented video done by Jeff Aielo from 

Facebook's Talk of the Hill, who works for PBS, called:

Afterburn: The Creek Fire Documentary - A Valley PBS Original Documentary

Jeff and his wife gave us daily reports of the fire's growth and devastation. 

They continue to be the voice for those of us who demand action and better

 management of the forests.
