Gift Bags For my Kids.

I seen a tutorial on how to make a rocking nugget on Splitcoaststampers.com. So I made some using my Cricut for the kids in my Sunday school class.

These were easy and fun to make. The kids liked them. They also included “Elf Kisses” and a little candy cane plus a mechanical pencil.

This is a close up of the square little bags.

And these are the purse looking ones. They turned out cute and the kids loved getting the treat bags.

I hope you had a chance to hug the littles in your life. We had a wonderful Christmas with our family. God bless you all.

Joy, Christmas Card

This was the last card I did for this year. The sentiment was from Create with TLC. Paulette, is so sweet to give away each day a freebie. She also has a great store.

This is the theme for my coming year. I “will choose Joy” daily. I think we all need to choose to have joy. When we look at the daily life it can suck the joy out of us. Jesus wants us to have Joy daily. May your days be filled with Joy. 

Merry Christmas, Honey.

This is smoky. She is 6 years old and the newest addition to our family. I got her for my sweet husband. He has been wanting a cat.

She is a sweet cat with an attitude. She has grabbed our daughter because she was ignoring her. She has hissed because she was done being petted. We all laughed 3 strokes and your done. She likes the heater in my craft room. She was helping me finish up the last of me cards. She was given early because of sadness our nation experienced with the loss of all those kids. Kayla and I decided he would like her sooner for comfort. We figured God allowed us to get her Thursday for this reason. 

God bless your New Year.

Christmas Tree Card 3

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas day. Mine was wonderful. I signed another friend for my doTERRA business on the 21st. Then I got the item I wanted the most, a massage table so I can do Aroma-touch on people. That was from my wonderful hubby.

It has been a busy season. I hope you can have a little time to relax before the new year hits.

May your New Year be bright. Thank you for visiting me today. It blesses me so much when you stop by.

Santa Card with Embossed Base

Merry Christmas to everyone. Are you ready for Christmas? I sure hope so because its here tomorrow. I can’t wait to spend it with my family.

May your Christmas be full of joy. This image is from Tim Holtz collection. It is the perfect size. I love how quick it made the card.

The snowflake embossing folder is also from him. I used tea dye distress ink for all the edges.

Thank you for visiting in such a busy time of year. I hope you were able to relax for a few minutes. My you feel the spirit of Christmas in your heart and enjoy the family and friends of those around you. Please say a prayer for those who don’t from all the bad things that have happened this year.

Outlawz Ribbon Challenge

This weeks theme is ribbon at the CAS challenge on Outlawz. Add a ribbon or bow to your project. I needed to make goodie bags for my little kids in my Sunday School class for Christmas. So I was lucky enough to do both with the same one. 

I used my Cricut to cut the bags and the words then did the dashes and inked the edges, tied the bow and done. This is very much a CAS (clean and simple). Which is good when you have to make 12 and all the goodies for the inside. I’ll post a picture when I’m done with everything.

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you have a wonderful day and that your Christmas is full of Joy.

Christmas Tree Card 2

I made 3 different styles of this card. It is very easy. Merry Christmas to you all. 

This is a close up of the jewels on the tree and the dashes. The embossed tree is just inked over to make it stand out. 

Thank you for stopping by today and blessing me with your visit. 3 days to go until the big day. May your home be warm and full of joy.

Santa Card w/Bow

Merry Merry Christmas to you. Laugh with your family and friends. Enjoy your time this season, relax and take it all in.

I just got this image from Tim Holtz collection. I love how easy this was to make. I used Espresso ink from SU. Then distressed it with tea dye and colored his face. Add the ribbon and 2 3x3 squares that are also inked around the edges. 

Thank you for visiting me today. There is only 4 days until the big day. May it be a great day as you celebrate why we have this day.

Christmas Tree Card 1

Merry Christmas to you all. May your hearts be full of love. Say a prayer for those families who are going to have a very hard Christmas in CT. We have said a lot of prayers. 

For todays card I used the tree from Stampin’ Up. I embossed it with clear powder, then I used Tim’s old paper and tea dye distressed ink. Then I added some jewels to decorate the tree. 

Thank you for blessing me with your visit today. May you celebrate with family and friends this holiday season. Hug those you love, let them know how much you care.

Joyful Christmas

I wish you a joyful Christmas. I can’t believe it is only 6 days away. Are you ready?? I have about 12 more cards needed. If I would quit adding people to my list it would help.

For this card I used the scrap from the gift bags I made that have the word Joy on them.I cut them with my Cricut and glued it to a coordinating paper. The flower is from one of the dies I got recently, and the embossing on the base is snowflakes from Tim I think. Just use what you have.

I hope you enjoyed your visit. I thank you for stopping bye. You always bless me with your visits.

Snow Bunny Watching the Flakes Fall

Snow Bunny is adorable. It’s designer is Coriander Shea and you can pick it up at Queen Kat Design. 

I used pens BG1, IB1, LG2, LG4, DR3, DR6, & BG10 from my Spectrum Noir set. the snowflakes and the sign are buttons. 

The sky is made with a IB1 marker from Spectrum markers. I just scribbled to create the shaky clouds. I inked around the edges of the glittered paper with Salty Oceans distress ink.

Thank you for visiting. You make my day by stopping by. I hope you take the time to visit QKD too.

May your day be filled with many blessing.

Rainy Days......

This beauty was from Sassy Studio Designs and the sentiment is from TLC Creations. I love how red her hair is. When I seen the sentiment I knew exactly what I was going to do.

It took a little bit of messing to get the room right.but I’m happy with it. What man wouldn’t like to get this card from his honey.

I cut the chair from a piece of designer paper and was so happy it was the perfect size. She has a pearl earring and her handcuffs are sparkly. 

I hope you have a blessed day and put some fun in your life. It shouldn’t be all stress and work.

Thank you for stopping bye today. Hope you enjoyed your visit.

Shop Till You Drop Challenge

This weeks theme is "shop till you drop” over in Outlawz CAS challenge.... Are you ready for Christmas? I think for the most part I am. 

Doesn’t she look like she has been a busy little shopper. She is from KennyKdownloads.com. 

I love to color so I have pieces like her just setting here waiting to find the perfect project. So I can’t tell you what Copics I used because I sold them to buy my Spectrum Noir markers.

I hope you can come play and maybe win a prize from one of our wonderful sponsors. May your Christmas be bright and your New Year grand. Thank you for stopping by.

Crazy Santa Bookmark

This Stressed out Santa is from  Rick St. Dennis MFA. It is in a set of 4 digi bookmarks. I love how the fur sparkles on his suit. I can just imagine how I would look after working Christmas. 

This picture shows the sparkle. I used Viva Decor to add the glitz. 

I love my Spectrum Markers. They blend so nice. I hope you don’t get this stress out for Christmas. Breathe deep and relax. Take some time to do something that you love.  

God bless you for stopping bye and leaving some love.
