Ring in 2014

Hello all!  A lot has happened since my last post.  My DH and I went to Hawaii for two weeks. It was the most amazing trip I've ever been on.  Once we returned, it was chaos as we had Christmas upon us, about 40 cards to make (of which I haven't taken photos of any) and 3 parties at my house.  For Christmas this year my husband bought me a Silhouette Cameo and, honestly, I can't get away from it.  I just love it.  Below is my first card I made with it.  It's for my mom.  I hope you enjoy it.  Now for some lobster bisque soup and back to my craft room as I watch another 4" of snow hit the ground.  Lovely Chicago weather.  Take care all!

It's my step-son's birthday and he is 17.  Not the time for a flowery card, but I think this one fits the bill.  It is a compilation of several digi stamps I found from Make It Crafty - this guy is Urban Johnny.  I colored it with copics and found a great grafitti font to do his name on the wall.  Hope you like it.

Holidays are upon us

Below is my most recent Christmas card.  My DH and I will be on vacation in Hawaii from late November thru early December, so I have to get everything prepared for Christmas - including getting my cards ready for the mail.  Below is my latest - I colored it with Copics.

Christmas seems right around the corner

Happy Monday! I enjoy making holiday cards for my friends and relatives, which means I need to start early as I have quite a few that I mail.  Below is one of my latest ones.  This is a digi stamp that I downloaded from ETSY - its a Sherry Baldi stamp that I think is super cute.  I hope you have a great week.

Halloween is just around the corner

Happy Tuesday! I'm posting a Halloween card today.  My mom really enjoys my cards, so I will typically send her a few extra cards each year.  I don't have any cute digi stamps for Halloween, so I brought out my Cricut and used the Paper Doll cartridge to make these cute cut-outs.  Cute huh?  I didn't put too many embellishments on it because I have to mail it to Missouri and it sometimes gets a bit crushed.  Enjoy!

Saturated Canary card

I've been spending quite a bit of time making Christmas cards (which is crazy because the weather has been quite hot).  For a break, I wanted to get started on a few birthday cards and maybe a Thanksgiving card or two ... or three.  Here is my latest card using a Saturated Canary digital stamp.
