Another Christmas card

Just to show you that I have done other backgrounds for my card...just haven't done a red one yet. Maybe tomorrow when I plan to stay at home for the last chance I have before I leave on Tuesday for my Christmas vacation.

Hope you are all having a great time preparing for your Christmas

Jordan's Back Pack

I just wanted to share with you the Back Pack, I made with Deb's instructions, for my little friend Jordan. We are going out for lunch tomorrow and I wanted to have "a little something" to give to my date.
This was a lot of fun to make and is so cute...if you want the tutorial go over to Deb's "IttyBittyInk Spots" there is a link on the right hand side of this Blog.
Thanks for coming by.

Jordon's Birthday

I forgot to share with you a Birthday card I made for one of the most wonderful little boys I have had the privilege to know. He turned 4 this November and had learned about Sock Monkeys at Playschool. So when I found this paper I just knew that it would be used for his card. The 4 is a copper metal number which really set it off.
He is growing up so fast...where do the years go? I'm sure his Mom & Dad are wondering the same thing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

I used this image last year...but it was a different layout so I don't feel bad using it again this year.

Now that I have got these and the cards below started, I am feeling much better about the season.

A lot less Stressed,

Christmas Cards started....

I know that I should have started earlier, but better late than never...I started yesterday with finally getting an image that I really liked for the majority of my cards for this year. M-J had this "Snow Covered Homes" stamp that she got from England. It is so versatile that I can use many different coloured cardstock for backgrounds. I had fun colouring & adding some Stickles for the snowy effects.
I got a dozen made this afternoon. This evening I will work on some of the other background cardstock, like the more traditional red and green.

Christmas is coming?

Not only did I put a Christmas Tree on my Blog today, but I actually got started on making one of many sets of cards that I am giving this year as gifts...and not a moment too soon may I say. I am going to the first Christmas get together this Saturday and I need three sets by then!

This is the first of those three sets...there is 12 in all, but some are duplicates. This set is for a friend who has just retired and they are moving out to Nakusp, B.C. I have made this entire set so she can use them as Thank you notes, which is something I know she can use. This was the easy set to do. The others are going to take a little more time as they will be a mixture of Birthday and all occasion cards...so I will have to get my thinking and creative cap on. Or do some looking around for things to CASE. (for those of you not use to carding making that means Copy And Steal Everything or Copy After Seeing Example). I am also giving these gals one of my 2 year Daytimers that I have already finished...so I guess that I had started on Christmas just did know it yet.

Again, I want to Thank you for dropping by, any and all comments are welcomed

I just wanted to show you that I do embellish something other than just cards...these are 2 year daytimers that I have taken apart and re-covered with cardstock, some printed some, cuttlebugged. They are mostly all for gifts for my friends. Some I am making will be sold to bring in some funds to the Social Club where I live.

I am off now for what is going to be a very full and fun filled week. So I may not get back to posting until the week-end. I will check back for any comments though

Thanks for stopping by
