CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE!!

Good afternoon everyone!! I finally think I'm ready for Christmas and got a second to play with some new stamps I got from Mr. Cricut Crazy!! Love them. this is the Birthday, Bithday set. They stamp fantastic and I love the fonts. He is having a giveaway for anyone who buys a stamp set you get entered into the giveaway for an IMAGINE!! Thats right an Imagine, go check it out at Mr. Cricut Crazy.

Ok onto my project, I think I have all my Christmas in order so I decided to do a New Years card. I used Core'Dinations paper, punched the edge with a Martha Stewart punch. I added some gold paper in behind my punch for the border. Then I printed a calendar for 2012 off the computer added Waterfall Stickles around the 1st. Then I stamped my new stamps and embossed them. Love them. Also on the Sentiment it actually says Celebrate it's your Birthday, so I masked the it's your birthday and just stamped the Celebrate twice.

Hope you like it!! Don't forget to check out the giveaway and I want wish everyone Happy and Safe Holidays!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

The Pink Stamper 12 Days of Christmas Challenge

The Pink Stamper is having her 12 days of Christmas, she has challenges, projects, video's and of course Giveaways!! So much fun, her first challenge is - Make a Christmas or Winter project from a Cricut Cartridge that is NOT for the Holidays! Think outside the box. So this leads me to my project. I have seen all these frames at the stores that are already made up but I knew I could make one on my own. I used Paper Studios Christmas Tradition paper pack and cut out my background. I used the Home Accent cartridge and the Cricut Craftroom to design my Family and Snow flake embellishment. Although you can't tell in the photo the family has a shadow done in gold paper like the snow flake. I add three brads in the right corner, and printed my family name with the computer and cut it out with Spell binder dies added a little ribbon and Ta Da I have my frame. It really looks alot better than the photo. I learned it's very hard to take a photo of a photo.

Any how go check out The Pink Stamper she is so talented and a fun crafter. Thanks for stopping by!!

Just Like Frosty I've been gone for Awhile!!

Oh my, it has been quite awhile since I've not only posted but entered my craft room. With out going into a long story sometimes Life just takes us in different directions than we plan. Anyway I'm way behind on all my Christmas crafts so with any luck hopefully I'm back on track now.

This is my first Christmas card of the year and I didn't even use my Cricut, hopefully I haven't forgotten how to operate her.

I used a 2" scallop punch to make my sweet Frosty and free handed the hat and the arms. That adorable face is none other than PKS #501 Snow Cuties, the background paper is Core'dinations layered with a gold paper from Holiday time that I purchased on clearance a couple years ago. The snow paper is from DCWV-Winter Magic paper pack. I added a couple of gems with my I-Rock and trimmed the bottom with some ribbon purchased at Hobby Lobby. That's it for now, back to work lots more cards to do.

Did want to add, sooo glad to be back in the fabulous crafting blogger world, have missed you all. Thanks for stopping by!!
