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!

Happy Holidays!

Hello everyone on this Terrific Thursday! I first wanted to ask if my follower gadget is working properly...because there are alot of you that come by and comment but don't follow....I do appreciate the comments but I was just checking!

Anyway, I had this card sitting here waiting for me to put it together but could not find my mojo...but I think I am back...Very simple card.

I used Noel/christmas cart for the lamppost cut @ 4", the wreath cut @ 1 1/4"

The oval is cut from JOTS @ 1" and doodled on and also wrote Happy Holidays!

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...

I also used swissdots and snowflake cb folders...I used ms scallop punch (which I think I need a new one, not quite working right) and some red ribbon..hope you enjoy! About 55 more christmas cards to go! HeHeHe!

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!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

I cut Goofy,Donald and pluto @ 2 3/8" using Mickey and friends cart..(love these characters) so cute...

I cut Minnie and the N @ 3 1/4" (I think)wanted to make it stand out...I added the drippy goo punch as snow...I also used the left over pieces and put them on the letters to look like it snowed on them...

I cut Minnie (inside) @ 3 1/2" using M&F , I cut the tree at 4 1/4" using Christmas/ NOel cart, I cut Presents @ 1 3/4" and 1 1/4" using the same cart....

I added MS branch punch to the front of card and some buttons...(like the stars, gumdrops, candycanes....

added some jewels inside to the tree and branches , and presents...

Inside reads

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.

It's seeing those we love,
and sending Christmas cards, too.
Appreciating people who bring us joy
Special people like you!!!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I think that is all so Thank you for stopping by and to all that inspire me!!!!!
