A few more :)

Hi there,
Thanks for stopping by again :0) OK, so yes, I am addicted to these little notebooks. They are just too cute for words and there are so many possibilities for them. The kids at my daughter's school are going nuts over them. I will make a bunch of them for the upcoming craft fair :0)

All of these were cut from the Christmas Cheer Cricut Cartridge. Cardstock from Stampin' Up!The  pattern paper for the mug and snowman are from My Minds Eye "Signature Christmas", the blue/pink tree pattern paper was loose at Michael's, and finally the Christmas tree and stocking are on pattern paper from The Paper Studio "A Heartwarming Holiday". Ribbon is from various sources and the lace is from SU.

I used some stickles on a few of them, and the stocking was run through by Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder from SU.

I hope you are having a great week! See you soon :0)

Fallin' for Fall

Fall is my favorite time of year. Cool weather, lots of color everywhere, woodsmoke in the air, crafts fairs and beautiful sunsets. Ahhhhh! I can't wait.

Here are my first couple of Fall themed cards for the season.

Top Card: Base card is Crumb Cake (kraft) and  CS is pumpkin pie both from SU. The image and sentiment for both cards is from Inkadinkado, Autumn Foliage stamp set. Pattern paper is from Brenda Walton. Accented with golden colored ribbon and mini buttons and string (I think they are both from making memories)

Bottom Card: Very Vanilla base and pumpkin cs. Image stamped in Really Rust ink from SU. Shimmery rust colored ribbon and gold stickles for the center of the star shaped flowers (sorry, I know it is hard to see)

I can't wait to share more seasonal creations with you.
Thanks for stopping by. I'll see you again soon!

Promises, Promises...

Yes, I promised to post again soon and then BLINK another week was gone.

I have been making a lot of cards and notebooks preparing for the upcoming fall festivals. I still have so much to do, but I love doing it. Here is one of my latest creations.

The colors for this card are Whisper White and Bermuda Bay (retired).Ribbon and sentiment from Stampin' Up and the border punch is from Martha Stewart. Flower embellishment is scallop punch from SU (stamped from white and sponged with ink) The next two layers are making memories paper flowers, one was inked to match and the other was covered with stickles. The rhinestone is from SU (new self adhesive...love them!!!)

Thanks for stopping by. I will start posting seasonal items soon.

Bright and Brighter!

Hello there all my crafty friends!

I hope that your weekend is starting off great! It is VERY hot here in SC (great weather to stay inside and create). So that is exactly what I did. I thought it was time for some brighter fun Summer time colors. One of my friends once told me that her favoite colors were "bright and brighter" and these cards made me think of that. I hope you enjoy!
