Papertake Sketch #31

I was having fun searching for sketch challenges and inspiration online this morning. The next card comes from Papertake's Weekly Challenge sketch #31. I started with this piece of blue and brown scrap paper, and I used the last of my new Christmas present stamps (the tree). Thanks for the inspiration!

Cardvarks sketch

Any sketch that includes flowers definitely catches my eye, including this one from Cardvarks.

Mojo Monday 117

As I continue making thank you notes, I used another Mojo Monday sketch as my inspiration. The flower stamp is another Christmas present (thanks again, Mom), and I cut out some extra flowers to add to the sentiment. More thank you notes to come .....

Rearranged Scrapbook Room

Last night, my wonderful hubby rewired the cable and set up a TV for me in my scrapbook room. I love it. I think it's been on HGTV since I plugged it in last night, but with my crafty toys around me and HGTV in front of me, I may never leave the room. Come visit!

Mojo Monday 119

I used the Mojo Monday sketch to create some of my Christmas thank you notes. I really liked the sketch, and I got to use my new My Mind's Eye paper, too. (Thanks Mom!) Hope you're having a good start to the new year.

Snow pup

Someone had fun in the snow yesterday. Of course, the snow drifts were taller than Daisy is, but she was pretty fearless. Who knew? Happy snow day!

Angel Cards

I made this set of angel thank you cards to add to my mom's Christmas gift. She loves angels and is great about writing thank you notes. I just got this stamp set from Inkadinkado especially for the angel. I got the inspiration for this card from here - can't take the credit but love the idea. Happy snow day!

Patchword Top Note Cards

I had fun making these patchwork cards with the Top Note die. I've seen samples before and have been meaning to try them with holiday paper. Have a great weekend!

Another puppy card

I couldn't believe we actually got Daisy to pose next to the Christmas tree (and caught the picture before she ran away). I used it to create another card we're sending this year. The "believe" sentiment is actually embossed in gold, but it's really hard to tell in the picture. Happy card-making, decorating, and shopping!

More Christmas Cards

Happy Sunday afternoon! I spent 9 hours yesterday making Christmas cards and hanging out with friends. I really need to do that more often. Here's what I made. Thanks for looking.

The first one includes my puppy, Daisy. Some people feel like it's not a Christmas card unless she's on it, so I made a few of these.

The next 2 cards are like the others I made with the 3/4 circle punch, but I think the one with the candy is my favorite.

This is my cousin's boxer, Sadie, so I made her a set of Christmas cards with her baby as a present.

So which of these cards is your favorite? :)

Thanksgiving

I went very simple for the handful of Thanksgiving cards I made this year. There's no stamping; I typed the semtiment Word. I'd been wanting to use this paper, but since it's so busy, too much of it is overwhelming. Hope you enjoy the card and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Christmas Cards

Wow. I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since I've posted on here. What a slacker. I was sick with the flu and bronchitis for 2 weeks, but I don't really have any other excuses.

Last month, my friend Wendi and I started our Christmas cards, and here's what I made. I made 40 of these cards inspired by one I saw on Splitcoast. (Sorry I couldn't find the link.) The circles are all made from Basic Grey's Blitzen paper. I also made some with Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding paper - gotta love Basic Grey. I think this is going to be my main Christmas card this year.


I made these 2 cards as well while we were playing, but I don't like them as much as the tree above. I didn't notice before, but apparently I'm into Christmas trees this year. :) Hope you're having fun making your cards.

Card Patterns #34

I made this card for my brother's birthday using the Card Patterns Sketch #34. He's an outdoorsy guy, so this stamp made me think of him. Happy birthday, Little Dude!

Card Patterns Sketch 30

The other card I made tonight is based on the Card Patterns Sketch 30. I was having fun with the star paper from my last card, so I continued the theme onto this card. I love the looks of Labels One from Nestabilites - can you tell? :) Hope you're enjoying your long weekend.

Mojo Monday 103

Here's this week's Mojo Monday sketch and my card based on it. I love using their sketches because it gets me out of creative ruts and makes me use my supplies in different ways. Thanks for the inspiration!
