Let it Snow!

Hi Everyone!

Well I thought I would make one last Holiday card.  I actually made a ton of these wreaths and used them for decoration on Christmas gifts. When I stopped to figure it out I think I cut over 800 of these branches.  I searched and searched for the MS branch punch and everyone said it was being discontinued.  Then a friend of mine at Joanns (it's good to make friends in the store:) told me they were on order and to place my name on the to be notified list online. Well it turned out I did get notified and ordered it and received it the week before Christmas. Yay, I LOVE it! 
There are some really inspiring challenges, so I just had to participate in a few.

Go Fish Challenge - White on White
The Cuttlebug Spot - Winter Time use texture (my texture is embossed paper and the branch punch)
Made Especially For You - Technique Week(machine embossing) My background is embossed with the cuttlebug



Card - 4.5" x 4.5"
Paper - DCWV
Martha Stewart Branch Punch
Ribbon - Celebrate it
Dry Embossed - Cuttlebug seeing spots
Sentiment - MM Rub-ons
Stickles - Stardust

For you!

Hi Everyone!
Wow, the weather sure has been strange I'm sitting here with the balcony doors wide open and a nice warm breeze drifting in, not typical for January - BUT I'm not complaining!! 
I work all week and this was my only 1/2 day so I wanted to post these little note cards I made as Christmas gifts. I gave a few different sets to friends and family and thought I would keep these as I could use them for various occasions. I made matching envelopes. I stamped/heat embossed a flower image to give the envelope a handmade feel.  
I thought I would enter these in the Creative Cutter Room Sparkle Time Challenge stop over and join in the fun! Challenge ends Jan. 11 so there is still time....



Card - 4"x4" Envelope - 4.25"x4.25"
Recollections, Scraps

Happy New Year


Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone is well! Let me just say I promise this card looks so much better in person.  I just couldn't get the lighting right, oh well. So, I really wanted to create a card with a clock. I looked and looked through my handbooks and just couldn't find on that suited me. So I decided to use clipart.  I just printed this clock on kraft paper and then cut it out with a circle punch. Hope you like it!

Card - 4.25" x 5.5"
Cartridge - Storybook
Paper - K&Co, Recollections
