Wow! So many great LO and cards! I have one to post but need to figure out how to do that first.
I’m pretty sure I won’t keep up with the chat much. I don’t get much time to get on. I’m a homeschooling mom to 5 boys who keep me busy. I haven’t had much time to scrap in the past few years but I want to catch up and get back into it again. Looking at all the new supplies and techniques is so much fun!

Looking at all the new supplies and techniques is so much fun! Hi! Welcome to the board! Looking forward to seeing what you have created. Are you a flickr member? I can give you steps for posting from there onto this board. If not, is your page posted on Facebook or a blog or some other place on line (other than a private group on the cloud). There is a different process for those. If if not that either, you can attach your photo to a message, but we have been asked to keep attachments to a minimum, so we could have you do that this time and then figure out another method later. |

boymom5 that is GORGEOUS! I love the outline skeleton leaves, and the mixed media background is the perfect fall blend. Darling photo, and I love the cluster with the wagon in it! Looking forward to seeing LOTS more from you now that the creative floodgates have opened! Linda, I love Lego, I bet your dd is too, and that card is perfect for a Lego lover. The banners are a nice break from the square/rectangular blocks.

Lovely cards, Linda ! Here is a quick card for CardTober #4. Didn't take me that long to find "something old" in my Christmas cupboard after all.  Cardtober #4 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Will total the points in a few minutes. Definitely grabbing the "Found Items" point: that tag was a gift tag on a received gift a few years ago, and I had tucked it away, way back in a drawer of Christmas card embellies. And here they are: create & share a card (2). #1 for cardTober #4 (1). #4 Found items: the tag (1). #18 Stitching: (I cheated: it was on the tag already) (1). #21 mixed media (the stencilling) (1). #23 word up (1). #26 rectangle (1). #27 brad (1). #31 foil on the tag (1). Total: 10 |

Wow Linda love the mesh and the twine and the little shells and I really love the 3 dots on the first card and the 3 eyelets on the second, great touches! Did you stamp sea shells on the metal, it looks fab! Another great card grammadee, the sock full of presents is awesome and I love the brick background, perfect!  |

Did you stamp sea shells on the metal, it looks fab! Sadly I can't take credit for ANY of that - the tags are stickers from gosh ... probably the early 2000s...might have been Rebecca Sower but I'm not positive. They are flat - not dimensional but designed to look dimensional. I loved them when they first came out and bought several themes...and these two are the last of that sheet (and possibly the last altogether although I think there might be one or two in my autumn folder) and have been curing in my stash for a very long time. I did set the eyelets myself |

gale w, your card is so pretty. I love the stylized tree and the sentiment in an arch. Using vellum in the embossing folder was a clever way to use it. Lovely card. Linda, that card with the antique car is wonderful. I love your banners. Happy B-day to your son. He will love this. Your blue and tan cards are beautiful. I love the tags and the nautical feel. Great job. AussieMeg you should offer your services for advertising for that restaurant. Your page made me hungry. So beautifully designed! Love left in gallery. grammadee, your cards are beautiful. I love the Sympathy cards. I am sorry for your losses. The stocking is fun because it is 3D and has so many little touches. Love left in gallery.
