Snowman LOVE

Hi Everyone!


Hope you are having a nice day. I recently won a challenge over at Cindy's Scraptastic Designs.  The prize was 3 of her fantastic designs.  Well, the digital stamp world is super new to me in fact this is the first time I have ever used one on a card. It certainly is fun! I did purchase a few copics (boy are they pricey) but well worth the price. I have a question for some of you pros out there. When coloring close to the lines my ink tends to bleed through/past is this due to the type of paper? Just wondering. I know I have plenty to learn and shading is a bit harder than I thought, but I just think it's so fun to practice :)
So here is my card using One of Cindy's designs and I'm entering it in a few challenges.

Hi Everyone!


Hope you all had a fabulous Holiday or weekend. Wow, I had my fill of turkey.... we had a great Turkey day and a very nice weekend with family.  My niece was here for a couple days and boy is she just the cutest little girl! She is 5 months already, time is just zooming by!
Well on to my card, now many of you know if you've been following me that I really love high heels. The higher the better....so in my mind the Holiday can not go by without a great pair of heels.  So I just couldn't pass up making a Holiday card without a great pair of shoes Aren't these just sooooo awesome, I really want a pair!! I know I'm nuts, but I would  wear these!

Merry Christmas!

Hi Everyone!


I have another quick and cute Christmas card to show you all today. I used the Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge to cut the poinsettia and curled the edges just a bit. I'm a bit crazy for these ribbons at the moment, they are just so easy to make and look so pretty. This is definitely a card you could make many of for the Holiday's, it's pretty simple.  I am entering it in Karen's Challenge - Copy Cat Friday, the theme this week is Holiday.  Also entering it in Frosted Designs - Use a die cut & Reasonable Ribbon CAS Christmas and Ribbon.

Card - 4.25" x 5.5"
Cartridge - Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge

I created my own buttons by wrapping twine in a circle. I used 3 girl jam ribbon and placed it behind the handle just to add a little "something" to the bag! I printed the sentiment placed it on the tag and added a cute border to the bottom of the bag with decorative scissors. Hope you enjoy!
