Create Daily

My BFF Jeanne and I decided we needed to remember to create something everyday. So we each made ourselves a sign in case we need reminding :)
I cut the tree using my Cricut and SCAL2 Software. It was a free file from ummmm, I can't remember O.o I will do some research to find out and get back to you.
ETA: Here is a link to the free Svg file I used for the tree.

I have been creating, alot actually. I am just lazy when it comes to taking photos of my creations and then editing them and then uploading. You know what I mean, right? Surely I am not the only one??!! Here are some of the cards I have been making for Birthdays this year:
Hope you are having a fantastic day!! THank you for coming by to check on me :)

Jingle Belles Christmas Card Challenge Week 3

This week's challenge is to use acrylic paint. I used Silver acrylic paint on the edges of my cards in place of ink :) I had so much fun making the 1st card that I decided to keep going and made 2 more! The snowflake card (made with my Cricut and SCAL2 Software) doesn't count towards the challenge since I didn't incorporate paint onto it, but it does count towards my end of year count :) If you haven't joined in yet over at Jingle Belles , by all means click this link, or this one and start right now :)

Thanks for looking and have a fantastic day!!

Hey Cupcake Card

Seeing if you were paying attention LOL. Me n Sarah Transforming at Target last summer :)

I was Cryping (me+Jeanne+Skype+crafting=cryping aka good times!) yesterday with Jeanne while we worked on this week's Jingle Belles prompt. We also worked on some more cards, ok I finished 2 cards and Jeanne finished like 20 or so in the same amount of time. AND I needed inspiration (aka copying a card I saw in a magazine, only with different products ;) for the second one. I cut my base paper 7"x6 1/4" so it will fit in a standard size envelope. I decided it was worth trying making this size because I always have these envelopes on hand and they are super cheap to replace. I always run out of invitation envies and then forget to buy them O.o I think I am gonna go grab another cup of coffee and then start working on another card or even a scrapbook page! Thanks for looking! I hope you have a super dee duper day :)

Jingle Belles Card Challenge #2

This is my card:

"So this week's Jingle Belles Prompt comes from the song ... Have Yourself a Merry LITTLE Christmas ... which to us inspires making cards that feature Inchies and Twinchies (2" squares) in the design (or perhaps a twinchie-sized gift tag). "
I punched these reindeer from a sheet of Christmas paper put out by LIttle Yellow Bicycle with a 1" punch. Oh and my bestest friend Jeanne inspired me to make a card that will fit in a standard size envie! I liked working in this size. I believe I cut it 7"x 6 1/4". I also heat embossed the stamped greeting on this baby! I need to get some brown embossing powder, STAT! If you haven't already started playing along with the Jingle Belles, I encourage you to do so. The idea is to create 1 Christmas card a week and be ready to mail them come December. I need all the help I can get, maybe you do too? It's really fun too, in case you missed the other links, check it out here :)
Thanks for looking!
