Very Merry

Hello everyone!
     Just a quick share with one last Christmas card. I am baking and making candy today for tomorrow night. I can't believe that the year is almost gone! It seems to go by faster each year.
    This card was made with the Snowflake Thinlits die from S.U. I did go back and add some small snowflakes all over the card because I thought it looked too plain, and I love how it turned out!
     I want to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I will be back after New Year's, and start on "Birthday Season" which is fast approaching! 
     Thanks for peaking!

  

Counting down!

Hello everyone!
  I wanted to show you another quick card made from a kit from Stampin' Up.Just like the previous post, this comes with everything you need to make about 20 cards. The tree cutouts, flag, cards and envelopes and embossed matting were all part of the kit. I added the ribbon, the bling and the washi tape. 
  Cards are mailed, presents are wrapped and now the count down begins! On to baking and candy making! Still wishing for a white Christmas, but I don't see it happening here. Thanks for visiting me!

  

Christmas is coming!

Hey Ya'll!

  I can't believe Christmas is almost here! Time seems to be traveling at light speed for me lately. My Daughter's birthday is on Monday, and I have been crocheting a Cowl and Fingerless Gloves for her. She saw them in a store recently and was admiring them,so even though it may not get cold enough for her to wear them here, I thought "Why not"!
  This set of cards were made from the Cut Above Christmas Card Kit  from CTMH.It comes with everything you need to make ten cards. I did punch more snowflakes out of the silver on the cards with no reindeer using Martha Stewart punches. I only made eight for this set, and shared two of them with friends.  I made a box for them using the Envelope Punch Board and a tool I found  athttp://www.thecraftyowl.co.uk/boxbuster/ called the Box Buster and used an idea I got from http://www.jennifermcguireink.com. for the ribbon on the box  I hope you enjoy the free "tool" and thanks for peeking!

Stardust

Hello everyone!
   I thought I would pop in and show you a card I made for a Baby Shower earlier this month. I fell in Love with this sentiment when I first saw it and couldn't wait to use it! I got the idea for the card and the cute little boy from Pinterest "Punch Art by Stampin Up." Their baby was hanging from a tree branch, but I thought hanging him from the moon fit better with the paper I used. You can't really tell from the picture, but the front sentiment is glittered up as well as the tiny silver dots around the star cutouts.
  I've started on my Christmas cards, and I'll have some to show you soon. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and didn't gain too many extra pounds! I swear , I gained weight just looking at all the food and goodies, he he ! Thanks for looking in on me. See you soon!

Thankful

Hello everyone!
  
Dropping in today to show you one of my thankful cards. I made this one at a team meeting with CTMH. I just love the color combination and the technique we used was the "Rock and Roll' method on the tree. I cheated a little though, because I rolled but didn't rock ! Anyway, It turned out looking very earthy to me even with the shimmer trim.

  Today I am thankful for everything I have been blessed with this year! I'm keeping my new Grandson two days a week, so not as much time to spend in the craft room, but he is learning songs I sang to his Mother and has the sweetest smile and laugh.....Oh, I could go on but I won't. The Greats are tickled with him also, which is another blessing in my life. Yes, Today I am very Thankful for family and friends, and having the opportunity to relish every minute of every day! 
  Thanks for visiting and  leaving your comments. I appreciate each and every one!

Halloween Baby

Hey Ya'll!
  This is my annual post for my Hubby's birthday card. This  year"s card is all about his Halloween Birthday. Last year I made him a plain ol' birthday card so I thought I would play this year. I made the spider from felt and pipe cleaners and gave him some droopy/sleepy eyes. Since hubby is "60 something" I added an action wobble so he will shimmy shake when he takes it out of the envelope. I hope you enjoy and wish every one a safe and happy Halloween!

Supplies- Stampin' Up: Sentiment stamp "Age Awareness", Liquid Pearls for the teeth, Memory Box: "Spider Web" die, Recollections: for the eyes , Inspiration for the spider found on Pinterest, Small spider from my stash.

Halloween Greetings

Hello everyone!

 We have been having some beautiful weather here in my corner of the world, and I thought I would share some Halloween cards before it's too late! I have been so busy making minis that Halloween has sneaked up on me! These were made a few weeks ago at a class I attend each month. The two with the belly band around them are gift card holders. The one with the spider is actually one I had to re-do  because of a boo boo I made and then when I re did it I  did the same thing again(!) and still had an embellishment opportunity, thus the spider!

I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weather and getting out and about while it's cool. I know some are experiencing Spring on the other side of the world, and for the most part they are having the same weather we are! Thanks for peeking in on me and have a wonderful week!

Supplies- CTMH: Paper packet "Scardy Cat" Stamp set "Halloween Greetings" and " A Quick Hello", Cricut carts Art Philosophy and Artfully Sent(?). Sizzix: Sizlitt "Creepy" for the spider.
