Gnome For The Holidays

 When I received the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue I knew I had to have the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set.  My card is based on the card displayed on page 23 of the catalogue.

Another Warm & Toasty Slimline Card

I made this card using the September 2020 Sheetload of Cards template by Alicia at Call Me Crafty Al.  She does a YouTube each month with a different sheetload each time.  Check out her YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/callmecraftyal.

The stamp is from the Warm & Toasty set in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue.

Warm & Toasty Slimline Card

I have been playing with the Warm & Toasty stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalogue and decided to make a slimline card.  The card measures 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".  The greeting is from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set (also in the Holiday catalogue).

Remember Them

 

The Poppy Project - Niagara Falls Museum

 My sister Cindy and I crocheted poppies for this beautiful display.

 This Remembrance Day, Niagara Falls is commemorating those who protected our freedoms, with a little help from the global community, by coming together to create a beautiful art installation of poppies cascading over the Niagara Falls History Museum.

The Poppy Project is a collaborative community art project by the Niagara Falls History Museum in conjunction with Stick'N Needles, a Niagara Falls stitching guild. We reached out to the public and asked them to knit and crochet poppies to be included in a large-scale art installation. The response was overwhelming, with over 11,000 poppy donations coming from every province in Canada, twenty-five different states in the United States, as well as Denmark and New Zealand. Heartfelt letters accompanied many of the poppies, dedicating them to family members who fought and died in the numerous wars that have affected our world

The poppies are displayed on both the exterior and the interior of the historic 1874 stone building. Local artists Joanne Ring and Emily Andrews were brought on board to help design the pieces. This installation is the first of many we hope to see grow across the City in years to come. 

Number of Poppies: 11,000 (and counting)

Estimated Number of Hours Spent Knitting/Crocheting: 4,500

Number of Hours Spent Affixing Poppies to Netting: 670
