My friend Clarinda from Clarinda's Corner issued a challenge to make a Christmas card a day.  I'm a couple days late to start but I got one done.

This was one heck of a card to photograph and I still can't capture the sparkle it has.

Supplies Used:

Card stock: PTI: White; SU: Real Red

Dies: Sue Wilson: Pine Bough CED-3015; Spellbinders: 5 x 7 Holly Frame S6-040; Elizabeth Crafts: Pinecone 766: Cheery Lynn Designs: Merry Christmas Set B186

Other: Tsukineko: Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz

Giving Thanks

Fall is probably my favorite time of the year.  The cool temperatures and the smell of peoples wood stoves burning along with the vibrant colors.

I used a file from My Scrap Chick to make the following card.  I hope you enjoy!

Supplies Used:

Card Stock: PTI: Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream, Kraft

Patterned Paper: DCWV: The Pumpkin Patch stack

Cut File: My Scrap Chick: Autumn Leaf Box in a Card

Hello Kitty Soft Kitty.....

little ball of fur....hahaha. Do you watch Big Bang Theory?  My husband and I love that show.  We are late to the party so I'm sure there's a lot of episodes we haven't seen but early this year you could've flipped on any channel and they were playing reruns.  Any who, when I was making this card, Sheldon's lullaby kept running through my mind. So we have Hello Kitty instead of warm kitty.

This was made for my cousin's little girl who likes two things.  Hello Kitty and American Girl dolls.

We recently moved and as I was unpacking I came across some old American Girl cookbooks that my parents had gotten me when I was a young girl.  Seeing as I don't have any kids of my own I thought who else to give them to then to my little cousin.  I know she will take care of them so I feel comfortable in letting them go.

So without further ado, here's Hello Kitty.

Supplies Used:

Card stock: SU: Smokey Slate, Strawberry Slush; MFT: Tickled Pink; PTI: White, Kraft

Stamps: MFT: Paw Print BG; SSS: I See You

Cut file: No longer available

Come Bake With Me

Today I'm sharing a page from a recipe scrapbook that I have been wanting to start for a long while.

The layout came from the Mojo Monday Sketch.  Go take a look and I hope you can play along.

Any who, on to my project. The little girl is from Treasure Box Designs and the patterned paper is from Doodlebug Designs.  I used a Spellbinders die for the boarder.  

Sail Away......

Hi blog land

I made this card for my husband who is currently working out of town for who knows how long.

I used the July card kit from Simon Says Stamp which I just love!  The sketch I used came from the MOJO Monday.

Christmas Comes Again

Ok, I'm not going to say that I've been busy and blah blah blah and that's the reason I haven't blogged in over a year.

But I am kind of embarrassed that I only seem to blog about Christmas cards.  Never the less. I have a few cards I'll be showing over the next couple days.

My husband comes to me and tells me he needs a Buckeyes inspired card to send to a buddy of his who is a Michigan fan.

I had no idea what I was going to do so I went to Old Faithful (Pinterest) and found  this card.

I changed a few things on it but it's pretty much a CASE.

Everything is SU except the polka dot background.  I used a PTI set to do that.  If you have any questions on what I used on this card.  Drop me a line.  I'd love to hear from you!

Hope you like

Winter Frost in Bethlehem

So I got some of the new holiday paper out of Stampin' Up's Holiday catalog. The colors in it are gorgeous!

I was so excited when I sat down to write this post but it was a feeling very short lived. I thought "Hey, I finally made an all SU card"  NOT!  Every die I used was from Spellbinders. The papers and stamps was from SU and to boot, the stamp set is retired.  You can buy the stamp from SU in digital format for only $1.95 USD.

This is a 5.5" x 5.5" easel card.  I used, Island Indigo, Coastal Cabana, and Smoky Slate card stock.  The patterned paper is from the Winter frost paper back and 12" x 12" dsp pack.  I embossed the image using black embossing power then created by background using crumb cake and baked brown sugar and various SU blue inks.
