I choose to make a card today!! Here is my card....

Here is the supplies I used to make this card...

- Stretch your Imagination cricut cart (tree)

- ribbon from Michaels

- dotted embossing folder

- Recollections paper

- Recollections pearls

- 'rockin' around the christmas tree' sentiment from Christmas Wishes by Pink By Design

- distressed music background stamp by Pink By Design

Here is how I came up with my card!!!! I cut the tree from Stretch Your Imagination, added some doodles with a white gelly roll pen, added a bow to the trunk. Then I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped it with my Distressed Music background stamp and inked around the edges using black ink. I then cut a strip of dark green paper and used a EK Success border punch along one side of it before I embossed the piece. I used the same border punch to make a white piece to stamp my sentiment onto (I inked around that with black ink as well). Then I adhered everything together!! 

Make sure to head back to Erica's blog tomorrow for even MORE Christmas inspiration!!!! 

I hope you liked my simple card!!! 

Christmas Wishes & Gingerbread Kisses

Hi Everyone!! I am really starting to get into the Christmas spirit now!! I usually don't let myself until the first of December... I am almost done buying gifts and now I'm onto wrapping them! Today I am showing you the gifts we got for Bria's playschool teacher and helper. But, before we get to that... The girls were over at Grandma's house the other day baking Gingerbread men!!! So cute!!

Bria was in heaven, she loves baking!! 

Brittyn didn't help much with the baking, but she sure loved eating!! :) 

Of course watching them make Gingerbread men with Grandma got me thinking! When we got home I decided to use my NEW Scrappy Mom's stamp set that I just received in the mail (I won it in one of their challenges!!). 

I love this sentiment!!! So adorable!! 

This tag was really simple to make...

- tag shape is cut from Once Upon a Princess - I cut 2 red shapes for each tag, the front one is embossed with an argyle pattern and the back one is stamped and heat embossed with white powder. I used the Christmas Wishes set by Pink By Design for the 'to' and 'from'

- the gingerbread men were cut from Stretch Your Imagination and the face stamped with the Happy Lashes Peachy Keen stamp set. I used my white Martha Steward glitter pen for white details on the man, and Recollections pearls for buttons.

- I used The Twinery twine to wrap the tissue/foil paper and tie the tag on 

I am entering this into the challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut this week!! 

It's Wedding Season!!!

Hi Everyone!!! I know, it's been a while! :) This has been a super busy week and I am getting prepared for a Farmer's Market on Saturday so I haven't gotten many new projects done. I whipped up this card the other day and haven't had a chance to post it yet.

It's wedding season so I thought I should get moving on some wedding cards!!

Here is a side view/close up trying to show the champagne glasses are on popdots.

Details...

• Champagne glasses were cut from Stretch Your Imagination, I added some "fizz" using Martha Stewart glitter pens
• the circle in the background is stamped with a stamp I got in a clearance bin a while ago...
• the black 1/2 circle in the background was a circle cut @ 4" and the cut in half with my paper cutter, I also embossed it with my Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder
• the white mat in the background was embossed with the Eclipse  Indentz embossing folder
• Sentiment 'On Your Wedding Day' is from the Here Comes the Bride set from Pink By Design
• bling from Dollarstore and doodles with my white gelly roll pen and black ZIG pen

And that's it!! Hopefully I can find time to get into another project soon!! :) Have a great day!!
