A Christmas Day

Happy Saturday! This week was so busy and went by so fast that I didn't get a chance to make any cards until today. And lucky for me the temp only reached the low 20's (yes, I said the low 20's) today, so we postponed our outdoor chores. Yesss!!! That meant quality time in my crafty room! I worked on all Christmas-y stuff today. I had the Christmas music on, and it was a happy day. The first card uses some new Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses patterned paper and some other miscellaneous goodies that I've had for a while.
These next three little cards were simple and quick. They're 3.5 x 3.5 and use more Eskimo Kisses paper and Papertrey Ink Pure Poppy ribbon. The three scalloped focal pieces were cut using my Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge. Those reindeer crack me up, with their big bellies!
Check out the last photo.... I made up a cute little package containing everything needed to make one of these fun little cards! I even put a label on the outside so I could write the name of the card or what's included in the bag or whatever. I don't really know what I'll do with it except look at it, but it was sure fun to make up the kit. I love *anything* that comes in a little envelope, box, container, etc..... Tee Hee! I guess that's all I have for you today. Have a great rest of the weekend!

Happy World Card Making Day!!!

Hello, and welcome to World Card Making Day! I've been up since 7:00, all excited to get started. I got my coffee going and it wasn't long before I got into my "special treat" for today....a DELISH bar-type cookie that had all sorts of chocolate and ooey-gooey stuff on it! Then I had my cereal. LOL...that's the correct order, right?? I've got two cards to show you so far for today. This first one is called a Stair Step Fold card. Isn't it just too fun? I found a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. I started on a Christmas one, too, but the glitter glue has to dry before I can finish assembling it. Maybe I'll post that one later.












This second card was made with some leftover scraps from the stair step card. There's actually no stamping on this card....just some yummy chunky stuff all layered up. Next, I'm going to try my hand at some challenges over on Ellen Hutson's Classroom blog. I am one happy little card maker! I hope you all are having a great day!

More Cards....

I finally had some time to post some more cards. I made all of these within the past month or so. These actually don't use many stamped images (gasp!), but lots of layering and chunky stuff! The last one is a card I made for a friend that's recovering from surgery.

World Card Making Day Card

I am a happy camper! I'm having so much fun learning how to add pics to my posts (easy, I know...). Plus, I'm listening to Christmas music! It's never too early to start that! Oh, and there are only 81 days until Christmas....just so you know. (grin)

Here's the card I made yesterday evening for World Card Making Day. It contains some of my new goodies....some from emma's paperie and some from Hobby Lobby. The three flowers are chunky chipboard, but it's hard to tell from the picture. I've had the quote for over a year and was happy to finally use it.
