Hannah Likes to Craft!

Good morning!

Well here I am TRYING to make a card with a new image I got.  I should have known I was in trouble as soon as Hannah came in the room………

The first place she (long story) plops is right smack dab on my work area!!!  You try to color when her paws are always trying to help me!!!!

She has made me ruin so many images by “playing” with my pens while I am coloring!!!

BUT……..I still love you Hannah!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

Happy Monday!

Hi everyone!  It is a cold Monday morning here in central Canada….although it is warmer than what is coming!!!!

Last week a new set was released over at The Paper Shelter, called Vintage Christmas.  This is an amazing set of images and sentiments!  I think if you are someone who wants to make your Christmas cards but don’t want to spend a lot of money on all the “stuff” you think you need, then this is for you.

Here are 2 cards I made-

 

 

 

On this card I used ribbon and dimensionals. Now if you don’t have a Big Shot to cut the corner dies you could use pearls or rhinestones!

 

On this card I used ribbon, pearls, and stickles to add some glitter.  Both cards have digital Christmas paper which can also be purchased at The Paper Shelter.

See how easy it can be without alot of supplies!

Hope you go look at this kit plus many other Christmas printables available!

Thanks for stopping by and remember…..our Blog Hop starts this Wed. December 7th!!!!!

Christmas

WOW…is time ever moving fast!!!  November tomorrow!!  I figured I had better get busy and get working on some Christmas cards made.

Here are two I did last week.

The image for this one is from Bonibleaux Designs. I love this image!! LOL!

I used my mini bells I got from Stampin Up.

The second card is made with a free digital sentiment from the newest issue of Paper Crafts Magazine.  The flower I made using a new flower punch from EK Success. Because if the depth of the flower this would not be a card you would want to mail!

Close up of the flower.

Hope you are all having a great Monday!

Bye for now!

Welcome Baby

This weekend I worked on this baby gift container to put a baby gift in  for a friend of mine. She had a sweet little girl a few weeks ago.

Here are some pictures.

I used a coffee tin to make this and covered it with some dp by K&Company.  I used a Spellbinder label die and put babies initials on it.  I put ribbon bows below the handle on each side, added flowers and other trims. It was a lot of fun to make.

Thanks for dropping in!
