Wishing You Many Magical Moments!

Wow can you believe I am back again! Three times in one week......!
I haven't done this in a very long time, but here in Alberta it is so darn cold, nobody wants to leave their house. So what better way to spend your time then scrapping away and using up some of that darn supplies you bought way back when. LOL!
This week My Craft Spot has a sketch  challenge and Fantabulous Cricut has a fun challenge called Animal Crackers so I thought what better time to get another Christmas card done.
My take on the sketch, using DCWV Traditional Holiday Pack. (Once again not a great picture because of weather conditions)

This weeks sketch over at My Craft Spot.

 This sentiment is from My Craft Spot "Joy Filled Christmas" which just arrived in my mail box last week!
(Thanks Kimberly for shipping so quickly!)
 and then of course I had to finish the inside of the card, since I will be using this one right away.
( I have a bad habit of not finishing the inside of the card, how about you?)
 The inside sentiment is from My Craft Spot " Jingle All The Way"

White on White Christmas Card.


Wow I can't believe I have another card done. Right now there are so many fun challenges going on that I just had to try  and get another couple of cards done. So with this being said I combined a few of my favorite challenges and came up with this beauty!
I wish the picture had turned out better but it is dark and gloomy right now so I will try and take a better shot later today when the sun comes out.
This card is 4.5 X 4.5 square. Using the white on white theme I just used the same card stock but used a snowflake embossing folder by Sizzix to add different texture to the card. The snowflake in the middle was cut using my Cricut machine and Cricuts Joys Of the Seasons cartridge, which I then covered in stickles to get another texture to the white card stock. 
The Beaded Squares were made using Spellbinders Nestabilities S4-315. Finishing touches, some pretty white ribbon, pearls and a button in the centre of the snowflake.
Challenges entered:
Bitten By The Bug 2 - White on White Christmas
Fantabulous Cricut - Ribbons and button

Merriest Wishes!

Hello all my crafty friends and family! Well I finally made it down to my craft room and did something. I can't believe it has been this long, but with Christmas just around the corner I have been busy shopping and wrapping all the gifts that will be under the tree once again this year. On the bright side of it I only have two gifts left to buy and then I can start on the baking and decorating. 

I found a fun challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room so I decided this would be a good time to start on the Christmas cards.
This weeks challenge is to use a Die Cut so I dug out my Jolly Holiday Cricut cartridge cutting the Elf out at 3.5 inches and made this adorable card.
I used my gypsy to cut the face so I could hide the cut marks so I could use my Peachy Keen stamps for the face( which I smudged) darn it anyway!
The sentiment is from My Craft Spot stamp set "Jingle All The Way"
Did you see all the new stamp sets and Dies that were just released over at My Craft Spot? They are all so cool and fun that I could not help but go shopping and then to top it off  I was lucky enough to win this set! Oh Yea! Doing the happy dance!
Here's a shot of the inside of the card.
and finally a picture of the card with matching envelope.
Woo Hoo!
One down and a whole bunch more to go. LOL!

66 and he still Rocks On!

Hello to all my crafty friends!
Today we celebrated my hubby's 66th birthday, so needless to say I was up pretty late last night making him a special birthday card.

Alf loves to sing and if I say so myself he does have a pretty nice voice. So with this in mind and 
this weeks challenge over at Hiding in My Craft Room ( use a critter) I was able to come up with this adorable birthday card.

This Easel card is from My Scrap Chick and was so easy to cut and put together with a bit of scrap paper and of course my Cameo.

I love the way this card turned out and the kids got a real kick out of it. So all in all it was another wonderful day with our kids and grandkids.

Trick or Treat! Goodie Bags

Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat! 10 down and another 80 to go!
Am I crazy or what????

 This year I decided to make up goody bag for all the kids that come around in all their adorable costume. I do not dress up but our dog Buttons always has a special costume on to greet  the kids in the neighbor hood. A lot of the parents ask if they can take a picture of her cause she is so cute, weighing in at 4 pounds soaking wet.
 These two gift boxes are for the two little girls that live next door to us. The boxes were cut from Cricuts Mini Monsters cartridge. using the fit to page feature.
 These picture do not do the tags justice, they are so filled with glitter, pop up dots and fun sayings.

I will be entering these into the following challenges.
Challenges Entered:
2 Creative Chicks Challenge #7: Halloween 
Craftin Desert Diva Halloween Linky Party

Happy World Card Making Day!

Happy World Card Making Day!!! Today my daughter Christy came over and we worked on a few cards. I decided on another Birthday Card since I have a lot of Birthdays coming up this month and my stash is very low. I am really happy with the way this card turned out considering it was all scraps from my stash!

Cartridges used were Tags Bags and More for the tag and George and Basic Shapes for the stars.
Here's a shot of the inside of the card and the envelope I made to go with it.

Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine Winner and a quick Birthday Card!

Hello all my Crafty friends. Today I have a Birthday Card I would like to share with you that I made following this weeks sketch over at Die Cuttin Diva's.
I also finally got around to picking the winner for the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine that I was published in and wanted to share with one of my lucky followers.
 I do apologize for the delay but I have been having a few health problems that I am trying hard to deal with and hopefully I will have some answers soon.
This is the sketch I based my card on which can be found over at Die Cuttin Diva's Blog.
and here is my take on the sketch.
List of items used:
My Craft Spot "Inside and Out #2" for the Happy Birthday sentiment.
Paper  "Fresh Goods" by Peddles .
Cricut Cartridge Florals Embellished, flower cut at 2 and 3/4.
I even finished the inside of the card using a Hambo Stamps that I picked up at the Canadian Scrapbooker Carnival. 
and talking about Canadian Scrapbooker,  how about that winner I was talking about!
there were 39 wonderful comments and 1 comment that was rude and hurtful which I quickly deleted! I  even got a few new followers which I thank you very much for.
Using Random.org the lucky winner is #39
