You Know Prancer and Dancer and Donner and Blitzen......

So this little guy is surely one of Santa's famous reindeer! Hubby took the kids a couple of weeks ago to check him and his other buddies out while I did some Christmas shopping. The kids were thrilled but a little taken aback by the smell lol. The reindeer were feasting to try to fatten up for the big trip, or at least thats what I was told by the littles. And I believe them!

Enough about the reindeer....you probably want to see another amazing card that I've created, right?! ; ) Another blue theme....I love how soft it looks. Another very easy card to make and reproduce over and over.

Only Six More Days

I am soooo not ready for Christmas! It has truly snuck up on me this year. Thankfully my shopping is 95% finished. I still need to wrap, bake, make & mail our Christmas cards and so on. I guess I am a last minute kind of girl! This is one of the cards I made that is easy to reproduce. It may or may not make it to the final cut. Tune in to find out which one does . Hopefully you are way more organized and prepared than I am and are enjoying this time of year!

Perfect & Bashful

I sometimes struggle with a title for a blog post and today I certainly did. Same when I send an email and leave the subject empty - ever do that? Well at least the title has to do with today's card! I used Perfect Plum & Bashful Blue as my color combo for a little twist on the usual holiday colors. It came out pretty if I do say so myself! Here's the recipe:

Stamps: Medallion,& Sincere Salutations & Serene Snowflakes

Paper: Perfect Plum, Bashful Blue & Whisper White

Ink: Perfect Plum & Bashful Blue

Other: Snowflake Punch, Rhinestones, Subtles Designer Button

Enjoy your weekend!

Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas....

...in my craft room! I am trying to be ahead of the game or at least not late this year making my Christmas cards. Here is just one of the cards I've made, trying to use up my stash of paper & ribbons that are retired. I love the snowflake punch and how easy it makes a card look instantly more interesting. Be sure to check back soon for more to come!

Christmas Cards - Quick & Easy!

I purchased the Simply Scrappin' Kit called Christmas Jingle with the intention of making some pretty scrapbook pages and maybe show my club girls how great the SSKs are. Instead I felt inspired to make some cards the other day and before I knew it I had created 9 super easy cards with tons of the kit left to make many more and some pages! I used some of my own stuff on hand like a rhinestone brad, a scrap of ribbon, glitter or some embossing with the Big Shot. Other than that, everything you see is from the kit. I love it! They look so elegant, if I may say so myself ; ) This is definitely the way to go if a.) you are short on time b.) you have to make a lot of cards and c.) you want beautiful cards (or pages) without much effort. I'll post more as I make more. If you are interested in ordering this kit from me please email me! Thanks!
