Christmas Penguin

I can't take any credit on the design of this card as I got the idea straight out of the current CTMH catalogue (page 9) The garland over lay is cut out using the newest cricut cartridge ARTBOOKING.  Other details about my card are paper is from a 4x6 creative pad called snow fun from Pebbles Inc, Stamps are from Unity Stamp Co. (Christmas Wishes), Slate Ink and Strawberry Slush Marker, Smoothie Baker's Twine.

Princess Card

I created this card for our little friends 3rd birthday party today. She is having a princess themed party so I knew I had to use the paper doll cartridge for the cricut. All the paper on this card is out of my scrap bin. I used my xron to attach all the pieces. Off to wrap the gift and pack up the kids :) Have a great day everyone!

Dynamic Duos #66-Light Aqua and Black with the OPTION of Embossing

 

This card started as a thank you for our principal who did an amazing children's message at Church this week. Do you think it turned out manly or girly? I am undecided and need your opinions.

I finally got a minute to play with chalk talk using black and cool caribbean. I inked up a Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder with "cool caribbean" on white paper and ran it through my big shot. Using dimensionals on the banner and button to pop them up. Love this color combo and will be entering it over at Dynamic Duos. If you haven't already hop over to their blog and take a peek.

Trim the tree

Christmas in July!

I am in full swing getting prepared for Christmas. I have a few projects on the go right now. Making advent calendars for each child, Christmas throw pillows, aprons for Grannie and Oma with kids handprints making a tree with star at top.

My goal all year is to work on Christmas cards and there's a great blog that's been helping me meet this goal. Merry Monday is having a month long challege for July to create Christmas cards. And since I just received a Christmas Cricut Cartridge called trim the tree I just had to play along. I've also entered this card over at Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge. This will be my first of many post over there I'm sure.

I've used a base of real red and a pattern paper from Michael's. The focal point is a layer of real red, white and then glitter white and real red creating the candy cane and Santa. I love that the glitter is all contained, oe of my pet peeves is opening a card and getting glitter EVERYWHERE!

Fairy Tales Bell from C.C. Designs

Good Morning,

I finally had the chance to take a copic class to learn the skin and hair techniques. Chelsey at Personal Touch Scrapbooking is amazing. Pop over to her blog if you have a second to see the cards we created in class

I was so thrilled with the class and the secrets I learnt, I came home and started stamping and coloring. I have some Greeting Farm, La-La Land, Swalk and CC Designs all in my work in proccess folder. I can't wait to finish those cards up.

Todays card is using Bell from CC Designs out of the Fairy Tales line. I apologize for the terrible photo. I ended up snapping a quick photo with my phone before I mailed it to a friend. The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches #208. I was able to use up some scraps from a retired Stampin up paper pack. Paper piecing the headband, outfit and boots. Copics used for skin: E000, E00, E11, R20 Copics used for hair E70, E74, E77.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.

Bees have a special place in my heart. My father had bee hives with a friend years ago. I remember chewing on the sweet honey comb, oh the memories... ok back to the card. I am loving all the hexagon shapes available in the craft world. The embosing folder is Stampin Up, the stamp is CTMH, the papers, inks, ribbon and twine are a mixture from the two companies. And my new favorite is the die cuts that I snagged off of scrapbooksteals.com.

Strawberry Slush!

Finally had a chance to play with the new in colors from Stampin Up. I must say I am in love! My inspiration came from this card I saw on Pinterest.
