Two more Christmas cards!

Here are two more Christmas cards that I did with my wonderful Cricut Expression. Wish that I could get some better pictures but I either got showdow or the light glaring.





Let me know what you think. I love love love comments.

Have a scrappy day!

Two cards last night!

I finally got to use my new scrapping space. (Pics of that will have to wait until I can get the girls side of the room clean). I made two Halloween cards last night. They are basically the same just different sentiments.





I used Core'dinations in my Cuttlebug. I used the Fiskers embossing spiderweb plate and think it turned out quite well. I've had the Fiskers for awhile and never used them so when I bought my Cuttlebug recently I searched YouTube for a video. I found several different "sandwiches" and they all seem to work quite well.


After I embossed the Core'dination I took a regular fingernail file and sanded it down a little. The color underneath is the same green as the spider. The spider is from the Doodlecharms cart, with googlie eyes. The "candyland" and "boo to you" were random stickers that I found in my stash. I think I got them at WM last year after Halloween.


I of course used my MS Drippy Goo punch and my brand spankin' new MS Web corner punch. The sentiments are from some wood monted $1 stamps from JA's.


Hope that everyone has a scrappy day!!

Christmas cards as far as the eye can see....

I've been working on Christmas cards since early summer and I've finially finished all of mine. YEA!!!! I still have a few to do for my Mom but now I have a great system and can turn them out in now time.

I'm posting my latest and favorite one. I made 12 of these. I usually only make about 6 but I just loved them so much I had to make more.


The hat, tree and candy cane are one stamp for the $1 bin at M's. I just used a 3/4" circle punch to punch each one out. The used my Cricut to cut 1" red circles and 1 1/4" green scalloped circles. The green cirlces have very shallow scallops since I used the tag from Alphalicious cart. I used the Cuttlebug and the D'vine Swirls embossing folder on the lower part. This is my first project with my new Cuttlebug and I think I'm in love.


Thanks for stopping by and have a scrappy weekend.

Hello Blogland!!

I've been MIA for about a week. I've been having some issues with my back so I can't sit to long. Hopefully I'm on the road to recovery.

Befoere my back started acting up I was busy altering 16 comp books. My MIL, who is awesome BTW, donates lot of things to a women shelter in her area. One of the important things they do there is journal so comp books to the rescue. She wants them to have something special so I spent a week altering them.
Apparently I only got 13 of them downloaded I'll have to find the other three. Here are 13 of 16.



















Have a scrappy day!!
