About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - Let it snow

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes
https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-songs-and-rhymes-may-29-to-june-11-let-it-snow

Our sponsor is Fred She Said 
https://fred-she-said-store.blogspot.com/

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
 
Shows no signs of stopping
I brought some corn for popping
Lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
 
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home, I'll be warm
 
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
 
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Ribbon from Scrap Graphics

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - A dream is a wish your heart makes

 Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes
http://granmargaret.blogspot.com/2022/05/christmas-card-club-sentiment-as-main.html

Our sponsor is Sherry West Art

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

 

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heartache

Whatever you wish for you keep

 

Have faith in your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish will come true

 

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're feeling small

Alone in the night you whisper

 

Thinking no one can hear you at all

You wake with the morning sunlight

To find fortune that is smiling on you

 

Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow

For all you know tomorrow

The dream that you wish will come true

No matter how you heart is grieving

If you keep up believing

The dream that you wish will come true
