Joy card

The first of many Christmas cards to come. I've been loving the metallic papers lately, especially for Christmas projects. I also used the Christmas solutions cart for the bell. I love that bell its so cute!

Christmas 2009

I was inspired to finally finish a layout I started in September of this year. I haven't ever before left a layout unfinished but I had started this at a hobby night and my mojo had disappeared. Boooo...so it sat on my craft table for awhile.....I got re-inspired by the Christmas solutions cartridge that I got for FREE because I have a Gypsy. That totally rocked! I so wanted to play and since the season is coming fast like a freight train I figured that I should try and finish it. I not "thrilled" with it but at least I can call it done. :)

May the Lord bless and keep you

I made this card for a sweet lady at church that just lost her Mother. I hate it when I have to make sympathy cards. I thought this flower of a cricut cart was fitting. Tfl!

One Hour challenge layout finished :)

Every week Club CK hosts a one hour challenge on their blog. This is the first time I attempted one of their challenges so to say the least I was scrambling lol...to top it off they asked us to make a photo standout by adding a stamped border or frame. Ummmm..I don't know what possessed me to partake because I am a level 1 stamper...I don't like cleaning the inky mess so I hardly stamp. I always try to get out of my comfort zone so here is my take. I am rather happy with the outcome! I might just have to break out my stamps more often! Tfl!

First day of school layout

I'm finally got the mojo to scrap a layout! Hooray! I haven't done a layout since the Halloween one that I posted awhile ago. Seems I entered card making land again...as fun as it is I eventually need to scrap the pictures I've accumulated :).  This is of my son's first day of fourth grade. I still am in disbelief that he is so grown up! It seems he is older to me since he is so tall,so teenageresque. *sigh* I'm so proud of my little boy. I made this layout using reminisce makin the grade patterned paper. It was double sided so I used both sides. I also used for the background paper,cardstock and measuring stick dcwc (hittin the books stack).  As always Tfl!
Ps hope y'all had a great Halloween, we sure did!

Diggin on Damask

Here is another card for another cool challenge at the Moxie Fab world blog www.moxiefabworld.com. This challenge asked you to use the Damask pattern in an innovative way. Seeing that pattern reminded me of some old glass metallic ornaments that we used to hang on our Christmas tree when I was growing up. I used the Cricut to cut all parts of this card.  You still have time to join this challenge as the deadline in November 8th! Hope you play along!
