Birthday Affirmations

Today’s card is a birthday card for my spunky sister in law. Her style is quite different from my own (I’m boring) so I struggle making cards for her. I think she’ll enjoy this funky paper by Studio Calico from the Here + There 6×6 pad that I just got. I love that it has […]

Merry Christmas Sharon! (and everyone else too!!!)

Today’s card is the one I sent my BFF.  She deserves something much more elaborate with layered die cuts, inking, embossing, coloring with Promarkers, or a special technique like Liquid Applique, Smooch, or at least Stickles.  Alas, time and mojo are both in limited supply.  What I lacked in technique I hopefully made up for […]

3D Reindeer

I’m pleased to announce that all my presents are wrapped, all the Christmas cards mailed, and all the cookies baked.  Whoo-hoo!  OK, I had help from my awesome hubby to get the last of the presents wrapped yesterday, but I did everything else myself.  With 2 whole days before Christmas with no lingering to-do list, […]

Holiday Teacher Gifts

Just a quick post to show you what I whipped up for my son’s teachers.  I’ve gotten to know a few of them this year, and though its middle school now, I couldn’t help but send them a little something… and yes, I had the kiddo’s permission, though he didn’t offer to distribute them for […]

Sketch N Stash Challenge

I’ve been pumping out the Christmas cards this week!  Nothing like waiting for the last minute 😉  Today’s card is for the daughter of my best friend… the niece I never had. I was at a loss for a design, so it helped tremendously to use a sketch. I loved the current sketch from Sketch […]

A Dustin Pike Christmas

I made a cute little card for my dad using a handful of Dustin Pike images.  If you haven’t checked out his store or his blog before, you should cause he has the sweetest, light hearted images.  My dad could really use a happy, light hearted card around the holidays, so I try not to […]

Using Up the Stash challenges

Wow… 2 cards in 1 day.  I either found my mojo again or I just work better under pressure!  Pretty sure its the pressure… Ha!!!  I needed a quick Christmas card for my hairdresser, and this has her name all over it!  Following the sketch at Sketch and Stash, it came together fairly quick too. […]

White on White with a Splash of Green

Today’s card was inspired by the current challenge over at Love to Create, white on white with a splash of green.                                    A peek at the inside:  I knew I wanted to do a snowflake card when I saw the […]

Christmas Advent Calendar

Today I’d like to share an advent calendar I made for my son.   This baby is a substantial size… about 11″ x 11″. It was created from a Lori Whitlock file available on the Silhouette online store. And while there were a couple curses muttered under my breath during the construction of the frame, […]
