Happy New Year to All

I really don't know where all this time has gone since I last posted. It seems like this past Fall went so fast. I went on a small vacation to Florida with some of my family members in November. What a blast ! Rode bicycles, went to the beach, played cards, went to a dinner cruise, Ernest Hemingway's museum and just enjoyed the beautiful weather down there. We spent most of the time in Key West and then the last couple days we ventured north and stayed in Boca Raton. Both lovely areas. It was great to spend time with brothers, sister and nieces and nephew.   It sure was hard to come back to Iowa to see the snow.

Then before Christmas I contacted Covid. I was super lucky and had a very mild case. I just lost my sense of smell. Christmas came and went and now it's January so time for me to get back to stamping.

My grandkids and I.

My family. We are missing my middle son who didn't make it home.

Zany Zebras meet Fabric

I was so inspired with this project after I saw a video of Brandy Cox working with fabric and cards. Here are the details:

• Card base is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Scored at 4 1/4" in thick whisper white.
• With the Zebra card in Purple, the second layer is Black and cut at 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".
• Third layer in Purple is cut at 5 1/4" x 4" and iron on to Heat n Bond. Peel off the back and iron on to fabric. In this case the Zebra stripe. Run it through an embossing folder of your choice. I used Old World Embossing folder. Glue this entire piece to the first layer.
• The fourth layer is 3 3/4" x 3" thick whisper white. Iron Heat n Bond to one side of cardstock. Peel off backing and iron on to white T shirt. Run this piece through an embossing folder. Mount this piece with dimensionals.
• I cut a triangle shape and banner  from the Stitched Triangles using the new Rainbow Glimmer Paper. Glue these 2 pieces on top of your white T shirt material.
• Stamp Zebra and hat with Black Memento or your color choice on thick whisper white and fussy cut. Adhere with dimensionals.

 One of my best friend's Mother just turned 95 and I wanted to make a very special card for Elsie. I have known this family for many years. Dixie and I went to Highschool together and I was her maid of honor at their wedding. So her Mother was very special to me.

Isn't the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper so beautiful? It makes the most beautiful cards. Here's the details for this card.
