Love this sweet image and always the thoughtful sentiments and prose on the vintage post cards of the past. This is one of the newer additions to my Etsy shop. The polka dot paper is from Bety’s shop on Etsy – it’s a digital, so I can print it forever and I love love love it! The poinsettia is from a K & Co, set of die cuts. Buttons are a mix of Papertrey and my own stash, the tag is also from Papertrey – Tiny Tags 2 I think.
Have a fun and wonderful holiday season!
Christmas is just around the corner and I’ve been busy creating for Lake Tahoe Holidays shop here in town and also for my Etsy shop. I made these for Keri’s shop. Some of the images are from my own stash of vintage images and some are from Bety’s shop on Etsy. She makes beautifully collaged digital images and I love using them in my cards, tags, etc.
Happy holiday season to all of you!

I cannot believe it’s been over a month since I last posted. And then I wonder why no one comes to see me or leaves a comment!! Well for those few of you who do come visit me, I have a few pieces I made for Thanksgiving/Fall.
This is an image new to me this year and has become one of my most favorites – love the sweet little girl, the beautiful turkey and the gorgeous autumn colors…
I made tags~
and a wall hanging…
and then on to some other things~
I actually have a little more, but maybe if I don’t put them all in this posting, I’ll post again before another month goes by. Thanks to any of you that are still stopping by.
Happy Fall

Another wall hanging for Halloween ~ this one made in a line I was just recently introduced to by my daughter – AUTHENTIQUE. They make some of the most beautiful paper out there. I just received an order of their “Enchanted” line for Halloween and I am definitely enchanted. Fortunately AUTHENTIQUE is hosting their September Color Challenge of black, orange and almond ~ so my new paper fit right in. You still have time to play if you’d like – it ends Wednesday 10/3 at 12 midnight.
I’ve used 2 of their papers “Charmed” and “Glowing” along with the “Witch’s Brew” sticker from the “Enchanted Details” sticker sheet, tissue garland from Caramelo’s, chipboard from Glitter Dust Designs along with various supplies from my stash.
Take care,
Dru
Using some of the beautiful papers I purchased last year Halloween in Wonderland by Graphic 45. There’s still time to take part in the City Crafter Challenge Blog challenge “An Early Boo”. The prize if your creation is chosen is a $15.00 gift certificate from Freckled Fawn where you will find an amazing array of Washi and other decorative tapes.
My humble creation…
I love love love making these ~ they have been the best fun!
Take care and have a wonderful weekend ~ we’re having a garage sale, so fun fun fun!!

and so begins the poem on my latest creation for Halloween created all from the new line from Graphic 45 “Happy Haunting” ~ I actually made this about 2 weeks ago and am just getting around to posting it and I’m happy to say it has already sold in my Etsy shop. This is such a beautiful line with so many possibilities and potential. I have so many things running around in my head I just hope I get to actually put them to paper. I also used some new spider web dies from Papertrey Ink – last month’s release – I can’t tell you how much I love these!! The spider is a punch from Martha Stewart – love that also! Tissue Garland from Caramelo’s. I’m hooking up to City Crafter and their “An Early Boo Challenge”. There’s still time to play…
And a couple more banners…
Take care friends,
Dru
City Crafter Challenge Blog is hosting a challenge this week to use polka dots in your project – love those polka dots and this site for the unique challenges. I haven’t been able to play lately, but was so happy to see my new Halloween project fit into their challenge.
Another decorative item ~ this time with a vintage image of a witch and her cauldron ~ love these old vintage black and white images. I recently came across a great shop on Etsy called Glitter Dust Designs. Tara is the designer and makes some really great chipboard dies ~ the prices are good, the cost of shipping is very reasonable, the selection amazing and the attention to detail is right up my alley ~ just look at that tree!
I’ve painted, glittered, layered on the journaling card from Prima found at Scrapbook.com, the chipboard tree mentioned above, a chipboard owl I drew out also on chipboard ~ cut out and glittered, rhinestone strip, decorative brads, crochet trim, tissue garland found also on Etsy at Caramelo’s, some black tulle I gathered then made into fringe, and lastly tied with my own crinkled black seam binding. This one is a favorite for me ~ I love the color combination of black and crème with just a touch of the dusty orange. Had I known I was going to take part in this challenge I would have photographed the back as well – it’s all crème polka dots on a distressed black background.
Also have a couple more single pennant banners ~ both with polka dots to share…
Take care friends and have a lovely and creative week…
Dru
