Hi Everyone!

First, I just want to say thank you to everyone for leaving such sweet comments, it's just so super neat and I appreciate them so much!

I had some time to organize my space (whew did it need it) and lots of time on the internet.  Do you all know about pinterest? Wow, is it fun! Lots of great tips on everything you can think of...

Hope you all have a fabulous day!

Hi Everyone!


Hope all is good with everyone! I'm off work today so I've been able to clean and create. Laundry done, dinner started, and 3 projects done! 
I promised myself that I would create more tags throughout the year, so you can imagine when I saw the great 52 Tags in 2012 by Janis at Pause Dream Enjoy just how excited I was.  Stop over for the details but I will be entering this tag in the Week 1 challenge, with a few crafty goals on the back.  Also, there are some other fabulous challenges that I love to enter as often as possible so I followed their themes this week as well.
Hope you are enjoying your day and hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend.

CWC Challenge Winter Warmies

Hi Everyone!

I saw the challenge over at Cooking with Cricut and it looked so fun! Its a winter warmies challenge. The challenge this week should be all about the way we keep warm during these cold days. From mittens and scarves to Hot Cocoa and more! There isn't one thing in our house that gets more use in the winter than my fireplace. I created this card to look just like my fireplace.  DIY tip.... Last year I painted some old black frames (just the frame no glass) and hung some ornaments in them. This is such an EASY Holiday decor that looks pretty.  You can use old ornaments of different sizes and paint and glitter them, add bows, ribbons, etc... It's a fun project,

OK back to the card, most of the images came from the Joys of the season cartridge and Jolly Holidays. All of it was designed on my gypsy for sizing purposes. The paper was all scraps (yay for me).  Just a fun little card....

Hope you all have a great night and please stop by tomorrow for my 3rd week of giveaways. It's another one of my favorite things!!

ALWAYS You & Me

Hi Everyone!


Hope everyone had a super weekend.  Well what a VERY relaxing day we had. It's been quite cold today which is more normal now for this time of year. It did give me time to create more cards and EVEN...are you ready..... a layout! I have never shared one before but will share it next week. I wanted to post a card I made last week for a couple challenges. I just love how this card turned out. I really wanted a vintage looking card so I really inked it up :) I placed a banner on the inside to be used as a pocket to hold a gift card.  You all know I have two boys so this type of card is pretty typical around here. I made this for my son's friends 8th Birthday. The boys really liked the card!

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are enjoying the weekend so far. I worked so much last week and just want to enjoy my 3 day weekend. I was able to create a couple cards and wanted to enter one  in some challenges before I'm too late. I created a Valentine card for one of my boys. Ok, I tried my hardest not to cutesify (I know it's not a word) this card.  I did add some twine but technically it's not ribbon or is it :) Oh Goofy! He just so....so Goofy:)!
