Today I am working on my Christmas cards. I have made several; but have given most of them away to others.   This CCR cut is from winter woodland cartridge on page 51. I used some glossy accents on the skate blade to make it shine.   I used Edge to Edge cut #18 at 5 inches for the background. I think it turned out wonderful, although I should have double cut this design, some of it I had to pick out.     Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I am so bummed today…..My new laptop crashed last week and Best Buy has had it for too long. I have gotten most of my files back; but, some of them I can’t remember where I got them.   I only had it for 3 months and didn’t think about backing it up in that short of time. I have definitely learned my lesson.     If you know where this design came from please let me know. I have a plastic box that I put all my paper cut offs in. It is so hard to use them up. I came up with this design to use a little strip with a side punch, and a little ribbon. I used a spellbinder die to put the print in a frame. I like the way it turned out and hope you do too.   Have a great Wednesday, hope you can get out for Church tonight. Thanks for stopping by.       I will be entering this card in the following challenges: http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/blog/crafterscompetition/2013/12/ribbons-twine-and-thread/ http://littlemissmuffetchallenges.b...

I found this cute digital image in my library, I don’t know where it came from. But it is so cute and just made me think of Halloween and fall.  I had these cute leaves in a draw loose, and thought they added a nice touch to the card. I used Prismacolor markers and gelly roll pens for coloring the image.  I love the cooler days and this morning I was able to enjoy my coffee on the porch, God knows we need this rain. I checked the gage this afternoon and we got .70 here in north Texas.  Thanks for stopping by.  Sorry the photo is a little crooked.  Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on.

Today I am down in my back so I chose a quick and easy fall card. I got this cute digital print from Meljens design blog (her site is the first one listed below) and colored it with promarkers then used glitter gel pens for the leaves, super cute.   I used a spellbinder shape cut for the background and then attached some lovely leaf ribbon. I mounted everything on craft paper.   Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on.

Today I have been working on some wonderful Halloween card. These are from the Cricut paper doll dress up cartridge. I saw this twisted easel card made on the Cards TV website and had to make it. You can find it here http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2013/09/fun-card-folds-5-have-you-been-booed.html.   It didn’t last one day in my for sale stack, I need to make more. I modeled the little girl after my granddaughter, she always has to be some kind of princess. I cut the hair out of white and then colored it with stamp-n up ink.     Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on.
