Hellooooooooooooo....

does anyone still come to visit me anymore?? I doubt it. I cannot believe I haven't made a card since Nov. 2, well actually, yes I can!! I have been busy with Christmas and had all my Christmas cards made and my craft room is a disaster and I've been avoiding cleaning it up. I now have to pack up all my 'stuff' and move it to the room next door as we are turning my craft room into a bedroom for my little girl. She shares a room with her sister and they've had enough of each other I think. They are both asking when Gracie is going to get her new room, haha! So we are starting the process now, lots of work to be done though; new flooring, fixing the walls, painting, new linens.....


Well, I finally sat down yesterday and made a card. It is for my niece who will be turning 7 this month. I think it turned out kind of cute. I can't even tell you the papers, I bought them so long ago I forget!!


I am getting into a new hobby now too--Needle Felting. Have you heard of it? It is so fun and so easy and you can create so many different things. And it doesn't require a whole room dedicated to it, you can just sit and do it on your lap while watching the tube if you want. When I get a project I am happy with I'll post some pics for you!!


Anyway, here's the card I finally got around to doing!!

Productive Weekend


Wow, I've had a productive weekend. I've gotten 3 or 4 more Christmas cards added to the pile. I should be done soon at this rate. As surfing goes, I happened upon this blog today and found this sketch (I LOVE SKETCHES)!! There is SO much out there to inspire your creativity, thank goodness. I'd be lost without it I think!!

Bbrrrrrr...

what a frosty cold morning here today. It is putting me in the winter spirit, which means baking, crafting and Christmas cards!! I revisited a blog I had in my list of favorites but haven't been to in a long time this morning. Spend some time there and look at all her beautiful work, you may need a cup of coffee for this!! She has a sketch challenge up and this is the card I made for it... I just love this old Santa image and he goes so perfectly with this Cosmo Cricket paper. I just love the glitter in his beard.
Well, I think I'll go turn on my oven and make a batch of cookies. Spend a nice cold, sunny day at home in my nest. Maybe I'll get another card or two made as well. Wouldn't that be nice!!

Hey...

Well, I found a brand new card challenge blog today, Cardalicious. I love a card challenge, and this weeks challenge is a shaped card. Anything but a square or rectangle. Here's my shaped card. Used Doodlebug Stickers with glitter and Ranger Liquid Pearls. Kaiser black jewels make his face and buttons. His limbs are cut from chipboard and painted brown. Thanks for stopping by!

Boo

to you on this very scary Halloween day!! It is a beautiful sunshiney day here, hope it's not too cold tonight for the Halloweeners!! Our pumpkins are carved, the candy is ready to go and my kids are pumped. It is an in-service day our their school and they've been home all day. Boy, those teachers sure know the right days to hold their in-services, don't they!!


Here's my card for this weeks 2S4Y sketch. It is a fantastic sketch and one that I could use over and over.

A couple more Christmas cards.



Well, my funk is at least helping me get a jump on Christmas cards. This first one I made for this weeks 2S4Y sketch this week. I am not usually a blue Christmas card kind of gal, but I had these little tree stickers and thought I'd use some silver paper I had and voila, this is the result.

Here's another one I did from a different sketch, just using up some old Melissa Frances stuff!!
Hope you all have a very creative weekend. Remember to celebrate World Cardmaking Day!!!

Just a little Christmas card

I think I've decided that in order to get my mojo back I need to clean out and go shopping. Our LSS closed down about a year and a half ago and I've only been shopping a handful of times since then. I've been working on using up my stash, but quite frankly, I am SICK of my stash. I need some new stuff!!!!!!!


Here's a card I did for Creative Journey sketch challenge this week. She is one seriously , talented lady. If you haven't checked out her blog, you should!! Here's a link to the sketch. Plus she is also offering up some sweet blog candy for hitting 20,000 posts!!


I hope you like my card using her sketch, here it is!!
