Last Two Christmas Cards For 2010

Scrappy Jak over on Facebook has a monthly card Kit that she send to her followers. If you have not visited her Facebook page you should. Their are a bunch of wonderful people that follower her and we do all kinds of different things. We had a Christmas swap which was so much fun. I received so many great scrapbooking items. Then when my daughter was in her car accident a couple of weeks ago, Melissa was the first one to get a card drive going for Christy. How can you not help being part of this wonderful group. I am so happy that I had to do these cards, because I was short by two cards this year. So all I did was take a couple of pictures and I was ready to send them to my nieces.

I used Christmas Noel to make the window and then the tree was cut from Winter Frolic and the girl was from A Child's Year. I just love the way this card turned out. For the second card, I used my PKS Cottage Cutz for the cute little gingerbread men. The tree was once again cut from Winter Frolic.

I still have to post a mini album that Melissa sent to us, but I am not finished it yet due to the holidays.

I have also reached 200 followers myself......Yippee!! So I decided to put together a pink blog candy package to celebrate. I will be posting pictures of it tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping in, hope you all had a great Christmas. I know we sure did.

Merry Christmas From Our House To Yours!

I have a list of folk I know all written in a book

And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look

And that is when I realise that these names are a part

Not of the book they're written in, but of my very heart.
Every year when Christmas comes I realise anew

The biggest gift life can give is knowing folk like you

May the Spirit of Christmas that forever endures

Leave its rich blessings in the hearts of you and yours.

Merry Christmas to all my followers and there love ones. Have a very safe Christmas and the best to all of you in 2011.

Two Page Christmas Layout for The Paper Variety Week 14 Challenge!

When I saw the Photo Inspiration Challenge over at The Paper Variety. I just knew I had to do a layout for it.

This is our dog Buttons, she is a Yorkie Pooh and just the most lovable dog we have ever had. She may be a little shit at times, but she has us both wrapped around her little paws!

I was looking at old photos and came across these pictures of her from Christmas 2007 and I went to work. I ended up doing a two page layout, because I just couldn't figure out which pictures to use, they were all so cute!

I also decided not to use my circut machine for the cuts and went back to the old school way and cut them all out by hand. I had forgotten about this awesome paper piecing book I had.

I even decided to use my sewing machine for a extra special touch to the layouts. The Santa's Paws was printed on my computer with a cool Christmas font I found on the Internet.

The Ho Ho Ho and Merry are metal letters from the dollar store and I found some paw and bone brads in my stash for the final touch.

Every year as soon as the tree goes up, and the tree skirt is down, Buttons head straight over and has her sleep.

I would like to take a minute and thank all of my followers
for popping by my blog and for all your lovely comments.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Wishing you all the best in 2011.

Get Well Card For christys_scrappin (she's going to kill me yet)

Yesterday I got the scare of my life when my daughters husband called to tell me that Christy had rolled her car! I was just sick....... and I am sure I aged 10 years over night.

The car is not in very good shape, probably a write off, but thank the LORD, Christy will be O.K . She has a lot of bumps, bruises, aches and pains! But she is a live!

So I decided to make a card to see if I could cheer the poor girl up. I love the little poem, I found on the Internet......It really does explain the way I feel.

I decided that since I made a get well card, I will kill two birds with one stone and enter the card for the challenge over at More Than Favors. This weeks challenge: make a get well card.

Mickey And Friends Christmas Banner: Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

This weeks Challenge over at Fantabulouse Cricut
is to make a project to decorate or spruce up your home for the holiday.

I have been wanting to make a banner for a while now, and since my upstairs is all decorated in Disney, I decided to keep the theme going.

I used Country Life to cut the banner at 10 1/2 inches. I then cut the letters at 4 inches from Ashley's Alphabet. The Micky, Mini and Pluto were cut at 3 inches from Mickey and friends and last I cut the snowflakes at 5 inches from Speaking about Winte

I inked around the edges and ran the letters through my cuttlebug using the snowflake folder

I really didn't know where to hang this , so it is in my bathroom on the mirror.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for popping by.

Christmas Ornaments and Gift Boxes

Like so many people out there, I need to lose weight, it is a never ending battle! Over the years I have lost so many pounds and then gained it back. What can I say I love food! I belong to a wonderful weight loss groups called Tops (taking off pounds sensibly). Without it I don't know where I would be ....probably over 300 lbs. so even if I am still over weight, it could be a lot worse.

Tomorrow we are having our pot luck Christmas Party so I decided to make the girls a Christmas ornament with their name, year and the Tops name. I also put a tin of sugar free candy in each of their gift bag. I then made a cute little gift box to go with each ornament.
