I needed to create something this morning as I just had the urge so was glad to see the new sketch over at Clean & Simple. I am working at Anchor Paper on University today and wanted to get those creative juices going early.

This is such a simple layout and it would work well for any occassion just switch out the patterned papers.

Enjoy!

details: paper: basicgrey eskimo kisses, neenah solar white, pop-tone green, sentiment: pebblesinc rub-on, accessories: pti button and may arts ribbon

Mitten Gift Card Holder

While reading some of my favorite blogs this morning I found this cute little tutorial & template (Carolina's blog) on making a mitten gift card.

This little gift card holder is perfect for my little Cassie as she told me she didn't want toys or clothes for Christmas and that she wanted either Crafty stuff or Music.

Enjoy!

CPS 144

Here is a card I worked on for the CPS Challenge this evening while watching the movie "The Ugly Truth".

I used BasicGrey "eskimo kisses" paper and rub-ons, Cuttlebug embossing folder, & Bazzill paper.

Enjoy!

My First Time

I have never combined two card challenges and thought I would try it today. This card is for The Sweet Sunday Sketch 46 & Allsorts Challenge Week 29 which is to use buttons on your card.

For this card I used BasicGrey "eskimo kisses", PTI "holiday button bits" & "vintage holiday mix buttons".

Enjoy!

Snowflakes

Okay one last card for me this evening and this one is for the OCC Sketch Challenge.

This sketch gives me one more opportunity to use those BoBunny papers I am so in love with. I had to make the card a 4.25" square as I didn't have enough for a full sized card.

Besides the BoBunny papers I used BasicGrey buttons, and Making Memories felt snowflakes.

Enjoy!

Ornaments

I had a great morning visiting with the grandkids and seeing all of Micah's new tricks. It is amazing how quickly they learn something. This week he sits from crawling, stands up at furniture and then goes back to a sitting position. Oh yeah and he dances.

This is my card for this weeks Stamps & Smiles Sketch 42 I used some bazzil paper that I ran through my candy cane stripe cuttlebug folder and some K&Co. Brenda Walton Grand Adhesions that I bought last year. Funny how you buy stuff and forget you have it. I pulled out the whole Christmas box and all I can say is WOW I bought way too much Christmas product last year.

I love the lime green and hot pink combination of this card.

Leaving on a Jet Plane ~

Okay I am not leaving on a jet plane, but Melissa is. She is going home today after spending the Thanksgiving Holiday week here with us in Minnesota.

Here is a card I made for LimeLight Papercraft Sketch 35 and the challenge this week is Pattern Paper. I love the sketch and thought I would play along for the first time.

I hope you aren't too tired of this beautiful BoBunny paper yet I have used it quite a few times and am now wishing I would have bought more than just one sheet of each pattern. The buttons are PTI Vintage Holiday and the ribbon is Creative Impressions.

Enjoy~

Peppermint Pinwheels

A quick card today for the challenge over at 2S4U. I have never done this challenge before and thought it looked like a fun sketch. The papers and embellishments are Cosmo Cricket "jolly by golly".

So did you venture out today to do a little after Thanksgiving shopping? I stayed home away from the crowds, but must admit that I did buy a new cartridge for my Cricut from an online black friday sale.

Enjoy~

Happy Holidays

Okay if you haven't guessed by now besides being a button junkie I LOVE snowflakes. I have been obsessed with them the past couple of weeks.

The Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge was the perfect opportunity for me to use another one in my stash.

details: paper (neenah natural white cardstock, Jillibean grandma's christmas cookie), sentiment (pebblesinc. rub-on), button (PTI vintage christmas), Snowflake (Cuttlebug die)

Project Tuesday

It's Project Tuesday over at the Stamps & Smiles Blog today and today's project is to make a Post-It-Note holder.

This was the perfect project for me today as I am headed over to my BFF Jeanne's house to make some cards and goodie boxes this morning and need a little giftie to take with me.

For this project I used Orange Pop-Tone cardstock, Neenah Natural White cardstock, PTI Autumn Abundance papers, BoBunny ribbon, American Crafts Fabric brad, & Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder.

Enjoy!

Monday Madness

Today is Monday Madness at Paper Popsicles using the freebie Friday digital stamp. This weeks freebie was this adorable stamp called Elizabeth. I had so much fun coloring her and paper piecing her pajamas.

I just think Elizabeth is so cute. Okay now I am going to try and work on a couple scrapbook pages and if I get them done will try and post before I head over to my friend Jeanne's house tomorrow to do some crafting for the holidays.

Enjoy!

Eskimo Kisses

First off I have to say I got to see Twilight "New Moon" last night and all I can say is OH MY GOSH. I loved it just as much as the first movie. I know most of my friends are probably shaking their heads as they don't see what I see in the movies or books.

My card today is for the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #114 and for this card I used everything BasicGrey "Eskimo Kisses". I just love the papers, buttons, & rub-ons. I also used my Fiskars border punch, & Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

It is supposed to be a wet day here in Minnesota so might just stay in the craftroom and work on some additional cards or scrapbook pages today. What do you have planned.

Enjoy!

Thank You!

I received this fabulous stamp in the mail from my friend Amy after I admired a card that she posted on her blog using the same stamp.

I couldn't wait to make a card using it and will probably make a few for the upcoming holidays.

details: cardstock (neenah natural white & french papers black licorice), stamp (studio g), embossing folder (quickutz snowflake), punch (martha stewart leaf branch), ink (ranger distressed vintage photo), ribbon (may arts).

Enjoy!

Old St. Nick

I picked up some of the new BoBunny St. Nick paper today and could not wait to make a card with it. The Unscripted Sketches Challenge for this week was the perfect opportunity to do so.

I love this Santa image and the holly paper, I added some May Arts ribbon, Making Memories vintage safety pin, & some glass buttons I had in my stash. I distressed the edges with the Tim Holtz distresser and vintage ink.

Enjoy!

Wacky Wednesday Hump Day Sketch #8

Here is another quick and simple card today. This one is for the challenge over at Paper Popsicles.

I think I am in a floral mood today as both of my post today have had flowers, orange flowers.

For this card I used PTI paper from Autumn Abundance, rub-on is from Pebbesinc., button is PTI, flowers are Making Memories from Chloe's Closet collection.

Enjoy!

Button Santa

I found a new sketch challenge blog through the help of my friend Michelle. It is called Pink Persimmon.

Once again I have used my Jillibean "grandma's christmas cookies" paper, the buttons are PTI & BasicGrey, Santa and Sentiment are PTI Holiday Button Bits. I used my nestabilities circle and Scallop, white dew drop, & EK Success Edger Embossing punch.

Enjoy~

From Our House

I am not sure I like this card, but have learned to post them anyways because someone will like it. This card is for the challenge over at Our Creative Corner.

For this card I used my Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, May Arts snowflake ribbon, Spellbinders snowflake with vintage shard glass applied, Bo Bunny & Jillibean patterned papers, American Crafts fabric covered buttons, & Neenah cardstock.

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays

It is a cool crisp morning here in Minnesota and I have a new card to share with you. I made this card using Card Patterns Sketch 41. All paper is Bo Bunny 'tis the season'.

Oh Deer

Here is a quick and simple card I made this evening using the CPS Sketch 142.

I used basicgrey "eskimo kisses" paper & woolie, PTI holiday vintage button, Martha stewart branch punch. I distressed all the edges of the paper and for the button I threaded it with matching paper from the eskimo kisses paper pack.

Enjoy~

Winter Greeting

I made this card this morning and wasn't crazy about it so wasn't going to post it ~ but what the heck I am posting it anyways. I used one of my new cuttlebug christmas folders, this one is called Candy Cane Stripe, the ribbon is from May Arts, the snowman is from the stamp of the month at Anchor Paper this month called Snow Short Stacks by Stampendous and the paper is BasicGrey Eskimo Kisses. The snowflake is a Martha Stewart punch and I sprinkled it with vintage shard glass glitter.
