Kelly's Keep In Touch Kit creations!

I get soooo excited when I get a package from Kelly!  I had to immediately get to work with the precious kit she sent me.  There was a bit of magic in the air....these cards just came together on their own as if they were speaking to me.  I love when that happens.  Doesn't always work that way.  Kelly has a way of brewing up a wee bit of "muse" with her combinations of vintage items and embellishments.  Perfect combination of whimsy and nostalgia.  If you haven't had a chance yet to visit kelly go do so.  She shares her kits and her gorgeous home with us over at her place...so go pay her a visit  http://www.kitcardshop.com/ .  I bet you will find a bit of inspiration when you do.  I plan on coming back tomorrow to share a bit of decorating with you.  So come back tomorrow.  I have added new goodies to my etsy store as well...take a peeky here http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherryjn  other than that not much to share!  Ohhhhh my mother in law was sweet enough to go to an orchard and bought a BIG box of honeycrisps...I am in apple heaven.  Thanks for listening to my ramblings of fruit.   rofl!   Hugs to you all...happy Saturday.     XOXO, CHERRY

Honeycrisp apples......

Ohhhh honeycrisps how I love thee....the perfect combination of tart and sweet.  I would consider leaving my husband for thee..you are that yummy. Sorry but they are my new obsession..and deserve at least a nod of admiration.  Have you had one yet?  Seriously you must try them..  If the witch from snow white handed me one and I KNEW it was poisened..yep you guessed it I would gobble it up. 

Ahh well enough of fruit..sorry I  have been missing in action..got a new lap top.  Trying to figure out windows 7 and download all my oldies but goodies to this new contraption.  OHHH but the typing is a struggle.  ARGHHHHHHH.  How do you do it?  type ...I am making mistakes left and right.  Still need to figure out how to add my wireless printer to this laptop...finally got my email reconfigured...was proud of that hurdle.  I have needed a good stress reliever and cards fit that bill.  Made myself use up some of my scraps on a few...have so may of these and need to use them.  Well hope you like!  Enjoy this Oct. evenning!  I will!  Blessings....and a hug!  Cherry

creams and browns....ooooooooooooooh my my

         I am usually drawn to bright colors...especially reds.  Once and awhile....and I think Fall has influenced me as of late...I am drawn to more subtle colors.  Browns, creams....faded and weathered.  OF course the more antiquey the better.   I have only a few projects this evening to share.  Two cards and a shabby bingo plaque.  Finally used this rhinestone crown I had.  So happy I did!  Hope you like.  Happy Tuesday.  xoxo, cherry

Wow.

           Did not realize this was my 300th post?  I guess I better get going and do a give-away.  Time got away from me as usual.   How are all you doing?  Thanks to those that wished me well on my new design team adventure.  I have a few cards and a bingo card to show to you.  I have had some of these images from Heart and home for sometime and finally decided I could part with them.  I sometimes want to hoard things.  I love love these nostalgic homespun images.  Hope you do too.  If you want to visit my etsy go here http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherryjn   Hugs, cherry

I'm soooooooooo excited....

Happy hump day to you all!  I have a fun announcement to make....I have been chosen to be on the MAGISTICAL MEMORIES design team http://www.magisticalmemories.com/.  Sooooo excited to be a part of this group of ladies.  They make some of the coolest chipboard pieces to add to your scrapbooking, cards, or altered projects.  As I am sure many of you know I LOVE chipboard.  Use it on all projects...so can't wait to share my upcoming creations with you.  As to the rest of my post....just wanted to share my newest cards and altered items.   Yesterday found me feeling quite motivated to get my fingers busy.  When I got done I realized all my cards had a theme.....FRIENDSHIP.  Did not plan it that way...but kinda cool never the less.  I don't have many friends where we live....I did not grow up in this area of Oregon and actually still consider myself an outsider.  Most of my friends live over the mtn from me...but I still love and miss them dearly.  I feel blessed to have all of you.  I get emails from you with some of the sweetest comments...and questions of course.  Friendship is very important and I know you all feel the same!  Other than that I am sharing two more Christmas projects with you.  A banner and an altered project....just fun and full of vintagey goodness.  I have had so many of you ask where I get my images from...many of my images come from http://www.craftysecrets.com/  They are one of my most favorite companies.  Go take a peek at their store. Well  We have been sooooo lucky to have some warmer sunny weather these past days....a little bit of indian summer has come our way...which gladdens my heart!  We will soon have snow and I count myself blessed to have a bit of warmth before the coolness sets in.  Well I am off to finish a few things.  I hope you all are having a lovely day!  xoxox, Cherry
