Give Thanks - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a quick and simple card I made using a Sizzix Flip-it Card die, some goodies from the Your Memories Here store and a simple, vintage image I purchased from Twisted Papers.

These fun Sizzix dies make creating a card so easy.  Kristina is always happy to find your dies for you at a discount   No waiting for a sale, just shoot her an email and she will see if it is available.

Bits of Almanac papers and chipboard mixed with gorgeous Prima flowers, some seam binding (I dyed mine with Bundled Sage Distress Stain), a vintage image, and some leftover goodies on my table and I was done.

A simple, yet elegant card to show someone how much you care.  

Hugs.

Happy Monday/Happy Easter

Hi everyone.  Wanted to drop by a few cards I made for Easter.  I love playing with vintage images, and the card sketches at Sassy Lil' Card Sketches give me just the excuse.  I picked up a few vintage Easter images from Twisted Papers a while back and thought they would make some perfect cards.

Bits of trim, lovely doilies (one of which I sprayed with glimmer mist) and paper flowers.  So simple, but I just love them.

Things here are still crazy, with school, driver's ed, ballet, swim and now the beginning of our cabana swim season; I really don't see an end in sight.

I appreciate everyone still stopping by when they have a chance, and I wish I was producing more lovelies to share....but alas......

I do have a few things coming up this week, so be sure and check back.

Hugs.

Phew - Holiday Paper

What a weekend!  It was a really good one, I got a lot done, and much of it had to do with playing with paper.

Friday night I snuck over to Memories Live On to check out Holly's take on the Tim Holtz tags and see what card she was making.  Well, while I was there she handed me a few pieces of paper to play with for the store and guess what happened next?

I couldn't wait to get home and bust out my Cricut Winter Woodland cartridge to get to work.

IOD by Creative Imaginations and Graphic 45 papers.

Lots of fun papers, stickles, Martha Stewart glitter, and a bit of diamond dust....so fun to make.

Well, then, Ainsley decided she needed to have a Christmas tree in her room.  And, being that I already have three other trees in the house, who was I to say no?  And, since we already had a few artificial trees boxed up in the garage....Well, the only real problem was, we had no ornaments.  I hadn't set up the 18" tree in years.  Well, Tim Holtz and Twisted Papers to the rescue.  I had downloaded some awesome vintage Santa Images and with the Tim Holtz fragments and a bit of glossy accents.....

Ainsley was even able to do most of the work herself.  She would have been able to do everything, but in the interest of saving time, we went with the exacto knife to cut the images as opposed to scissors.

Ainsley had the best time making these.  She did the gluing and the sanding of the edges.  

Oh, I also made my Christmas cards...but not sharing till after they are in the mail.  And I made a Christmas present, again, not showing till I give it away.  Add to that piles of laundry and tons of housework and I would say it was a very productive weekend.

Well, off to finish tidying up.  Hope you had a productive weekend as well.

Hugs.
