Holly Christmas Card

Hi Everyone!
Today I decided to start making Christmas cards.  I actually made 4 of these.  I used the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge on this one.  I got the white card stock from a stack from Walmart.  I love buying their cheap white card stock!  The red, white, and green polka dotted paper was from a DCWV Christmas mat stack.  I cut the holly out of green paper at 3 1/4 inches and the berries from Christmas red card stock I bought from scrapbooking store where I live.  I also used red ribbon from Walmart. I used a Merry Christmas stamp from a holiday stamp set I bought from JoAnns.  I then blingged the holly and berries up with Xmas Red and Green Stickles.  I love these cards! So cute and very easy to make!  Thank you for coming to my blog!

Thinking of You Card


Hi Everyone!Today, I made a cute and simple card using Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge and Accent Essentials.  I cut out the Fireflies from yellow card stock and blingged(if that's even a word) them up with Stickles.  I then cut out the firefly holder/canister from dark blue card stock at 3 3/4 inches.  I used my swiss dots cuttlebug folder (I like this one) and cuttlebug on the light blue paper to give it texture.  Then I cut out the scalloped squares from the Accent Essentials cart.  The white scalloped square is shimmer paper to make it pop. I then used pop dots from Walmart to pop up the fireflies and then I used foam tape to pop up the holder/canister.  I then used ribbon from Michaels called Dancer.  Thank you for coming to my blog!

First Post and First Challenge!


Hi Everyone and Thank You for coming to my blog!
Today this is my Very First Post and my Very First Challenge that I am making something for so I am very excited. I decided to make a 2 page scrapbook layout for the Robins' My Pink Stamper Winter challenge.

I used snowflake paper from the DCWV Stack 7 as my background. Then I cut out the Snowman Winter title using my gypsy at 3.41 inches and welded the snowflakes together and those were cut at 3.41 inches too. The buttons I found in my button jar that has a mass of different buttons that I found at a garage sale. The snowman's eyes were stamped on using Peachy Keen Stamps. The blue strips of card stock were cut at 3 inches by 12 inches then put through the cuttlebug using the swiss dots embossing folder.
