Thank you for the encouarging comments and emails! I appreciate those of you that have stuck with me these past several months.

Today I have a Christmas card to show you that I made last month at a class taught by my former up-upline, Amy Smith.

This is not a color combo that I would have picked on my own, but that’s another great reason to keep going to classes- they stretch you. And you can’t see it in the picture, by each of the snowflake has dazzling diamons in the center which gives the card a really nice twinkle. I almost never use glitter at my house. But I ws happy to use it at Amy’s house!!!

I am not sure what stamp set the snowflakes came from.  What can I say?! I am not a demo anymore!!! But the sentiment comes from the hostess set Christmas Punch and the background pattern was made with the set Itty Bitty Backgrounds.

Hope you have a creative day!!!

Here is the fourth card that I made in Amy Smith’s class. It’s pretty simple but took a while to cut out all those trees!

My favorite part of this card is the embossed dots on the card base. Used the Big Shot for that! We also got to use a new punch for the sentiment.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday!!! I am getting all excited because tomorrow is my birthday!!! Yay!!!!

See ya!

Here is another simple Christmas card from the class I took from Amy Smith last weekend….

Isn’t that patterned paper beautiful?! I flipped right by it in the new catalog but then I fell in love with it when I saw it at Amy’s house. I just have to get used to mixing Glorious Green and Old Olive……

Have a nice night!

The card today is one of my very favorites from the class that Amy Smith taught on Saturday. I love that it is simple enough to make in bulk and yet it has that extra special touch! Plus, it uses the Big Shot and I love that thing!!!

The stamp is from a new hostess set called Christmas Punch. The patterned paper is new too (and gorgious!!!) and called Merry Moments. The front of the card was cut with the Big Shot and the Movers and Shapers Curly Label die. The the sentiment was punched with the Curly Label punch and placed on the inside of the card. It was very simple and fast!!!

I will be back with another one tomorrow!

Sorry I am soooo late today! But, like I said, I have a Christmas card to show you each day this week. And they all use some stuff from the new Stampin’ Up catalog. Now I cannot take credit for these cute cards!!!! I made them at a class on Saturday taught by a great friend, Amy Smith. I have showed you some of her work before. She is very talented : )

This first card uses the new set Circle Circus and the color combo is Real Red, Old Olive, and More Mustard.

Isn’t it cute? And you could really use just about any sentiment with this card!

Come back tomorrow for another Christmas card!!!!

I know that some of you think I am a little strange for making Christmas cards when it is 110 degrees outside. But come December- I want to have lots of cards ready to go so I can focus on other things like baking and shopping!!! So here is another card that I made using my copic markers. I am not going to lie- this card took me FOREVER to make!!! Ha ha!

The stamp set is from Stampin’ Up! and is called Holiday Line Up. I used this one quite a bit last year. I think all the images are adorable and fun to color when you are in the mood!!!

And for my last Season of Friendship card (for now) I have a Christmas card. Last year I told myself that I would work on Christmas cards through out the year so that I wouldn’t feel so pressured in November and December. Well that hasn’t happened!!! This is my first Christmas card for the year!!! It was CASED for several on splitcoast.

This is such a simple Christmas card! It would be very easy to reproduce!!! My favorite part is the "snow" on the branches that I made with a white gel pen. Super simple!

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend! I will be back tomorrow with a scrapbook page.

Recipe:

Stamps: Season of Frienship

Paper: Ridinghood Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Bashful Blue

Ink: Whisper White Craft, Ridinghood Red, Chocolate Chip

Other: Ridinghood Red Tafeta Ribbon, White Gel Pen

 

Over the past 2 weeks, I have managed to get quite a few scrapbook layouts done!!! They are all pretty basic and simple. But my goal in scrapbooking is to my children the stories about their childhood that they would never remember otherwise. I don’t worry too much about "getting caught up." I just scrapbook the pictures and the stories that are most meaningful to me in the moment.  I focus on photos and journaling. Enjoy the layouts!

So what do you think? Are you motivated to get scrapping?!!!

I was cleaning up my desk a little yesterday and I came across my Christmas thank you notes. Bummer! Didn’t I mail those?!! Oh well!!! A late thank you note is better than none at all, right?

So here they are…

I kept them super simple since I had lots to make and I wasn’t feeling well t the time. I actually cased the layout from Becky Roberts. I like that it is post card style so I didn’t have to do too much writing!!! And I am still loving that Ski Slope paper! I think it will be great for some holiday scrapbook layouts that I want to make! If you love it too- place an order now cause the Holiday Mini will be going away on the 18th of this month!!!!

So if I have any family members reading this- I put them in the mail today!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: Big Bold Birthday

Paper: Ski Slope DSP, Real Red, Whisper White

Ink: Baja Breeze, Real Red, Old Olive

Other: Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Top Note Die, Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon

Sorry I have been so quiet this week. I have been enjoying some holiday time with my family! We had 15 people for dinner last night!!!  It was crazy- but a good crazy. The kids got so many gifts that I can hardly see the floor in their huge toy room. And we still have to go to grandma’s house today!!! And I got a few new stamp sets to play with!!! (When I can squeeze in some stamping time!) Plus, my sweet hubby got me a digital videa camera and I am dying to make a video tutorial!!!

I hope that everyone had a merry Christmas and is spending time with friends and family!

Here is a super sweet picture of my babies!

I have not had any time in my stamp room in days- so I am going to show you another one of the scrapbook layouts that my class made a few weeks ago.

The page was made with the I Wish Simply Scrappin’ kit. Love those kits!!!

Stay tuned for pictures from my upcoming Valentine’s class as well as some new Class by Mail kits!
