Ooh La La Card

I wanted to share this card that I made for my fellow Chic. I had to wait to post because I didn't want her to see it before she got it in the mail. I decided to use one of my stamp sets and took a break from the Cricut. I had such a good time making this card and going back to stamping, I may have to break out the stamps more often.

This is a Stampin Up set, I just can't remember the name of it. I ended up coloring the image with different type of markers since I had already packed away my Copic markers. I also did a little inking around the image.

Have a great Friday and BIG hugs to you all.

Mustache Card

Happy Sunday to you all. I hope everyone had a good day. I have been kinda lazy and just doing what is necessary. I have managed to get into my craft room and make a card. I found this site on Facebook called Play Along where you do projects. Pretty much at your own pace, there are lots of challenges to choose from, it's a lot of fun. I would recommend if you are crafty, check it out. 

The challenge I chose was to make something by incorporating a mustache. Since my sons' birthday is coming up I decided to make a card for him. Hope you like my project.

I created the bowling ball, got the mustache from the Billionaire cricut cartridge and got the bowling pin from Nifty Fifties cricut cartridge. I also used a Peachy Keen stamp to give my pin an emotion. I also used an embossing folder, can't remember if it's Cuttlebug or Sizzix.

Enjoy the rest of your day and BIG hugs to you all.

Valentine Cards

I know I am a little late getting this out, but wanted to share anyways. I've been working quite a bit lately and have finally found an opportunity to post these.

These cards I saw on another blog, Everyday Cricut, last year. I think I actually did the same thing last year except I used Mickey Mouse on them. This year, I used Create A Critter and I just love the little 3x3 size. Since I used googley eyes on the elephants I decided to give those to my co-workers. The other cards I kept flat to save on postage.

I also wanted to share with you the beautiful cards I received from a couple of good friends. This one is from my friend Dana.

And this one came from one of my oldest and dearest friends, Christa. Thanks Dana and Christa, you made my day

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Valentines and want to wish everyone a wonderful week. Big HUGS to you all.

Going Away Cards

I have a couple of cards that I want to share with you that I made for a co-worker who is moving to Texas. I used the Teddy Bear Parade on the card I made for everyone to sign. The card I made from me  I used the stamp set Groovy from Stampin Up. I really like how these came out and thought the Teddy Bear was adorable with his Texas flag.

This card I was able to use paper from my scraps, I just love being able to get into that bin.

I was also able to use scraps on this card too except for the background paper. 
Enjoy and BIG hugs to you all. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. 

One More Post For Today

Hi everyone again. I just wanted to share with you why I haven't been posting lately. First of all, been working quite a big and of course the holidays take up quite a bit of our time. But, the biggest reason is the home my husband and I are building. It seems every time we are off we are choosing flooring, paint, appliances etc. So I thought I would share with you where we are at with the construction:

The roofers came out today to finish  trimming the roof and dry wallers should be out Monday to start putting up the walls. Anyway, we are very excited about the prospect of moving in. Our builder says the end of February or the beginning of March.  :-)

Enjoy and BIG HUGS to you all. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

More Projects

Sorry everyone for taking so long to get back showing the rest of the projects I completed during the holidays. I've had some technical difficulties, but hopefully they are resolved.  So here they are:

This card was for a friend of mine whose birthday was in September

My nieces' birthday is at the end of October, not Halloween, but thought she would like this cute this ghost wishing her Happy Birthday. And she did.

My sisters birthday was in November and she is a big fan of Goofy, so of course I had to make this one for her.

Birthday card for my Boss who just moved to Florida, so I felt it was only fitting to use this cute flamingo.

Last, but certainly not least, I made these for Thanksgiving. I saw this at Simply Pam blog and loved it so much I decided to make them too. They were so easy to make, check out what other neat things she creates. http://www.simplypamscreations.com/2012/11/cookie-card-challenge-thanksgiving.html

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I have created over the past couple of months. Enjoy and BIG HUGS to you all.
