My Christmas Tree

I thought I would post a few pics of my Christmas Tree this year!!  The lights are all RED.  Since RED is my Favorite color, and the ornaments are all those tiny ones!  I couldn't help myself I have been collecting them over the years.  I think they are absolutely adorable on a tree.  Here's the pics that I took.

Make and Take: Crafting With Jack on Crafters Digital Art Center

Here is my first project for the "Make and Take Challenge" over on "Crafters Digital Art Center"  With "Crafting With Jack".  I chose to make a card.  I cut a colored the "ANGEL" out 4 times for dimension.  Then I used my "INSPIRED HEARTS" Cricut Cartridge for the "STAR"  and cut it out 4 times as well for dimension.  The background paper is form "The Paper Studios"  Snowflakes Pack that I picked as in individual page at Hobby Lobby one day, looking at their site however, I see that they no longer sale the page.  Here is the card that I chose to create.  I hope you like it!!

Family Reunion

When CHRISTMAS comes around I always think of Family Reunion's!  Which brings me to my next card and 2 challenges that I decided to enter this card into.  I am married with 3 kids.  Therefore, this card fit my family perfectly.  The first challenge is "Designed 2 Delight"  SHOW US YOUR FAVORITE SNOWMAN!  Well my favorite Snowman is this family.  The second challenge is "Stamptacular Sunday Challenge"  their challenge is ANYTHING CHRISTMAS and if SNOWMEN don't say Christmas well i'm at a loss. {LOL} I have also entered this card in "The Outlawz Greetings Challenge November 28th"  their theme is "Anything Goes" as long as it has a sentiment on the front.

Now for the card Recipe:
The Digi is provided by Beccy's Place
I used Stickles for the bodies of the Snowman, Snow-woman, and Snow-children Stardust
For the Other parts I used Stickles colors Purple and Green
The sentiment I used is taken from TLC I just didn't use the border.

Now onto the card!!!

Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think.  I am always glad to hear from my friends and followers!

Creative Freebie Challenge November 20-December 3

Here's my second entry into "The Outlawz Creative Freebie Challenge November 20-December 3"  I decided to  make an 8 x 8 scrapbook page using the Little Girl holding the Stocking sent to us by Sandi from "Sandi's Sample's"  I thought it would be cute to make a scrapbook of our Christmas this year.  This is going to be the first page.  I am going to use my YOURSTORY Bookbinder to complete the scrapbook once I have all the pages together and will then post the completed scrapbook here for all to see.  Until then, I will post each page as I do it.


Here is the second page:

Creative Freebie Challenge November 20-December 3

Just a Couple Of Cards

I will be making several post today.  Two of them will be for "The Outlawz Creative Freebie Challenge".  However, this post is for a couple of cards that I just made.  This first one is a card for my Father-in-law whoa has a birthday coming up on December 11th

I saw the stickers a while back on sale and thought they would be absolutely perfect to use on a card for him!  The stickers are from "Paper Studio" I bought them at Walmart.
I hope when he gets the card he likes it!  Here goes nothing {LOL}


Now my 2nd card for this post is a set of stickers bought from Walmart on sale yet again {LOL I do so LOVE sales}  and these are from " Making Memories"  I bought them and made the card simple because I liked the stickers.  No other reason, I had no one in mind to send the card to.  
So, Here's the card it's decorated on the outside and the inside with the top of the inside left blank to write on.
