Another Snow Globe Card

Monday I told you about the Snow Globe Gift Tags I got on clearance and I decided to make another card with them. I got 40 tags for less than a dollar so I think they make great embellishments at a great price.

This cute little Santa went perfectly with my DCWV Christmas paper stack (I have a really old one that has lasted me several Christmas's). I used a Fiskars edge punch and some glittered brads on this car. Then I added 2 kinds of ribbon to give it a bit of extra trim.

Happy Crafting.

Christmas isn't always Red and Green

I know that traditional Christmas is red and green, but there are so many other fun colors to choose from. So I got out these old snow globe gift tags that I got on clearance a few years ago. I thought they would make great embellishments  plus the prices was great. paper and Eva (striped), american craft ribbon. 

This cute deer snow globe went great the Basic Grey paper. The striped paper is from the Eva collection, and the other two pattern papers are from Eskimo Kisses.

Seasons Greetings and Happy Crafting!

Kitty Elf Card

Okay, I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I have been having some family issues to take care of. Sucks to have to do around the holidays. Lucky for me I got my Christmas cards done early! This little cuties is my Kitty Card.

I used the elf Hello Kitty from Hello Kitty Greetings because I know everyone likes Hello Kitty. The background paper is from a DCWV paper stack. Then I added the green paper punched with a Martha Stewart edge punch. The tag is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More, and I adjusted it a little with my Gypsy. Then I stamped it with a little candy cane from a Recollections stamp set, and attached it with twine in Charcoal from The Twinery.

I entered this card in a challenge or two:

Be Thankful

I'm really not much for "Fall Decor", I prefer all things Halloween! But I decided to make a new banner for my office. Of course I put it up before I photographed it, and of course I hung it in a awkward spot to photograph but I did my best. 

Lest start with the close up shot so you can see what the banner is. I used the leaf from Gypsy Wanderings to make make the "flags" of the banner.  

The whole thing looks like this hanging in above my desk. It says "Be Thankful" which is a good reminder for this year. It's hard to be thankful when things are going wrong, but I still have lots in my life to be thankful for. 

I used 5 colors of cardstock to make the leaves, red, brown, pea green, yellow and orange. Then I used a paper from a bunch of different companies, 7 Gypsys, Pinecone Press, and We R Memory Keepers for the inside leaves, and tied it with orange, yellow and brown ribbon.

I used one of the fonts from Opposites Attract to make the letters, I like this one because it's very simple. 

 I love the way it came out, and I hope my co-workers did too.

Happy Crafting!

Some might be of Turkeys, some might be of Thanksgiving Day traditions, some may just be about family.  But they all will be fabulous!

  
  

  My project today is a banner made with my Cricut that says Happy Turkey Day.

  
  

  

  
  

  The paper is from Pinecone Press's Halloween Collection, but the colors are great for Thanksgiving too. 

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  The cute little turkey is from Create a Critter, and the flags are from Tie the Knoot and cut out at 8". 

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  I printed Happy and Day from my computer and cut them out for the banner. I also added the fan fold half circles to give it some flair.

Olivia's First Birthday

Okay, so my goddaughter is one and a half, and I'm still working on her first year scrapbook. But I'm only 4 layouts away from being finished! so I decided to make a cute birthday layout from one of the birthday paper stacks I have. It came with embelishements so this layout was fairly easy. 

Here is a close up of the title on this layout.

Sometimes I just don't feel like turning on the Cricut and making something complicated. Happy Crafting.
