Vintage angel / christmas card!

Hi everyone on this cold Wednesday....Let me start by saying I am having a tough day, My car broke down, try to fix it in the rain...soak and wet, then called AAA since I could not get it to start..called my sister to take my daughter to preschool since she had to take her son any way...then sat there waiting for tow truck...about 30-40 mins later he finally arrives.STill soak and wet by the time he came...
..which this time it was not bad..I had alot more things I wanted to get down, but itsn't that always the way...that it never goes as planned..also we get a little extra $ and something always has to go wrong..oh well... anyway enough about bitching....so I came home and finished my card that I made the other night, just haven't had time to post...

I used GS for the frames that I cut @ 5" then layered 2 times and used the inside cut....

I added ribbon thoughout it, added some flowers, corner punch and pearls...I also cut the corners of the green paper.

Inside reads: His presence moves across the earth, and touches hearts with love,
Then leaves the sweetest gift of all... the peace from up above.
May the wonderful peace of Christ Be yours, at Christmas and always!

I used this saying before...but I love it...hope you love it too. Thanks for stopping by and to all that inspires me!

Hi everyone! The weekend is almost over and time for the chaos to start so I thought while I have some time I should make a couple cards...This is only one of them I made I have to finish the other one...so I will post that one tomorrow... I ordered graphically speaking, sweethearts and storybook...I received 2 of these yesterday and could not wait to try them out...so this is a card I made with GS.


I used GS for the frame cut @ 4 1/2", and then also cut another one @ 5" and used the inside of cut for background...I added some pearls, inked, added a angel button and a vintage clipart that I got online....I also cut the corners off of the green paper and then cut corners from a shiny brown cardstock (got at Michaels) , then added them to give it a different look...all the cardstock is shiny...but you really can't tell..

Inside I cut another frame at 5" and layered, then added some pearls It reads " His presence moves across the earth, and touches hearts with love, Then leaves the sweetest gift of all...the peace from up above.

If you want to know how much I Love you Count the Waves

Hi everyone on this Terrific Thursday! Let me start off by saying that I loved putting this one together.....I tried to make it beachy yet a rustic feel...hope you like!

I used different papers, some are DCWV Summer pack (I think from 2 years ago)...I also used Bazzill Basics paper (Guacamole) for the whole background...I used some scraps too, so not sure where they came from...so here goes.

I used AE to cut the frame using the fit to page feature...I think it was 8 1/2"

I used the inner piece as the background..and then layered the frame on top with pop dots to make it more 3d. I also used siccors around the edges and then inked it.

The swirl was also cut with AE cart at 6" and inked.

I used LAB for the bamboo cut @ 5 3/4", the pelican cut @ 2 1/4", and the sun cut @ 2"...I inked them all except the pelican I added a pink eye too it.Layered it about 3 times.

I used George cart for the hearts (2) cut @ 2 1/4"..also inked. added some thread..(really can't remember what this is called but I call it thread)

I tore paper and inked everything...added some buttons, and a computer generated title then pop dotted it...added also some burlap to give it some texture....I think that is all...hope you enjoy as much as I did.

HI Everyone! I hope everyone is having a great Monday!

I don't remember the correct sizes...but I used psb for the tag (I think cut @ 3 1/4") and oval ( cut @ 2") , and jasmine for the corners I think those were cut at 4"...sorry did not write it down.

I also used a clipart of a bird which I got online....I added ms branch punch, some ribbon, a sticker for the saying " Each day is a gift. Every birthday, a treasure. Happy Birthday"

I used some premade borders (bought at Michaels) added some pearls. and a brad...I inked everything with a distressed ink by Holtz...(tea dye)...I also tore the paper.

Give Thanks!

HELLO! I was thinking what other holiday is coming up besides Halloween?...you guessed it Thanksgiving....and isn't this a day to give thanks....so this is what I called this card...My mom always makes Thanksgiving dinner for all of us...there are usually 15 people that show up...This year there will only be about 12...we lost some loved ones last year and this year...but we still give thanks to the ones we love....so I thought I would make this card for her , just to show her how much I love and care and thank her for all that she has done for us...anyway, getting back to the card....I designed the whole thing in ds and welded it together and then layered it.

I used PSB cart...roly poly + shift square cut @ 4 1/8" this is the patterned square.

I Used PDDU cart for the cornucopia cut @ 2 1/4" which I cut 3 times and cb with swiss dots...to give it a 3d look...

The fruit is also cut with this cart @ 2 1/4" and I used paper glaze to make them shiny...I also doodled on them which you can't tell from the pic..but I added little tiny seeds to the strawberry and colored the stems with gel pens on the apple, strawberry and cherry...

I also used this cart for the Ivy cut @ 2 1/4" (forgot it had that on there) cut 2 of them ..one for up the side and the other across the bottom...used black gel pen to look like a border around the ivy.

I used Jasmine cart for the corners cut @ 4" and I also pop dotted the one on top...

I used DCT cart for the cornstalks cut @ 1 3/4" and then 2"

I used PSB for the brown square behind the frame cut @ 4 1/8"

I added some jewels, doodled, used birds & swirls cb folder , also swirls, and swissdot folders....Oh and the Give thanks is cut also with PSB but I forgot what size...Inside I will be putting a poem to thank her! Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

The dog and little girl are a sugar nellie stamp...I bought this off of funkykits.com

I added some glitter glue and 3d paint and snow writer to the little girl, dog, wreath and lamp post to look like it is really snowing out...

Hello Pumpkin!

Hi everyone! I had this card in mind for a while and I just had to make it tonight...I used design studio to make the pumpkin costume for the dog...

I made it with George welded together , the ovals were cut @ 2 1/8" shadowed then in orange...I cut out 5 of them and layered them together to make the pumpkin...I then just added a oval and cut a stem to look like the top of a pumpkin.

The dog was sent to me a while back by a lovely lady who used to be on the cricut board..named Lynn...not sure if she is still on the board..but thanks again.

I used AE for the frame cut @ 4 1/4" and then staggered the pieces, I also used this cart for the Accent 49 cut @ 1 1/4"

I used ms branch punch , some jewels (to give alittle bling) , ribbon, and I used pooh font for "Hello" cut at .34" and then I used gel pens to write pumpkin at the bottom of card..so it says Hello Pumpkin!...I love how this one turned out so do be shy to tell me how you feel....Thanks for looking and all that inspire me!

What do we love about Christmas;
Does our delight reside in things,
or are the feelings in our hearts
The real gift that Christmas brings.

and sending Christmas cards, too.

Special people like you!!!!!
