Girly Birthday.....

Hello and Happy Monday to you all! Can you believe 2013 is just

about over with? I know I can't! This year flew by so fast for me!

I can only hope that 2014 will be a great year for me, and for all

of you! I thought I'd post a Birthday card..... I'm so over the holidays

and I've been just crafting away in my scrap room while I'm enjoying

this nice break from work... I haven't been online to much as I'm

trying to get a bunch of cards made for my MIL.... I'll post them

once I get photo's taken... So here's a simple Birthday card!

 

 

I created this card using my Silhouette....

I can't remember all the details since I made

this awhile back.... we're talkin' months ago!

I actually have a couple more that I haven't shown you yet!

 

Well.... I better get back to card making before

my vacation vanishes before my eyes! I hope

to see ALL of YOU in the NEW YEAR!

 

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me such

wonderful comments... they are always

appreciated! Have an AWESOME DAY!!!!

Christmas Cards....

Hello and Happy Tuesday and Christmas Eve!!!

Are you guys ready for Christmas??? I think I am!

I have to work til 4pm today and I have just a couple

more gifts to wrap and then I will be ready for a cup

of coffee and a holiday cookie or 2! :o)

I'm ready for my vacation to start.... so is my hubby!

It'll be nice to just be home and relax and maybe get

some crafting time again... I miss just crafting the day

away... :o) Of course before I can craft again I must

clean my craft room.... It looks like a tornado came

through it several times in the last few weeks as I tried

to make gifts and more.... :o) Any way....

Before I enjoy some quality time with my family

I thought I would post a couple more Christmas Cards

You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch!

Hello and Happy Thursday everyone! I know.... I know...

I've been MIA again! Work has been crazy and my free time

has been too..... I'm trying to do a million things all at once....

Or shall I say in a month! My husband keeps asking me.... When

am I gonna wrap the kids Christmas Gifts.... And I say well....

hopefully before Christmas Day! What about baking? I say...

hopefully before Christmas Day! Seriously.... I need to figure

out a better schedule for me... Cuz right now... my office is a

HUGE MESS! I feel lost... Oh the pressures of the holidays... eh?

 

I want to share something I made for my Sister as

a Christmas Present.... She did get it so now I can share! :o)

 

 

 

These are all wood pieces.... painted and decorated with

Scrapbook paper....

 

Mr. Grinch was just painted and his face was drawn

on and I added some fluff with a hot glue gun....

 

I used Mod Podge to cover all the letters so it'll

last my sister a long time....

 

I wanted to create a card to match the gift I was sending

to her.... so I downloaded this cute image off the

Internet and used Digital Echo Park Paper...

Ribbon & Card stock is Stampin' Up

Banner cuts are from the Silhouette Store....

 

I wanted to add a sentiment from the Grinch story....

So I just typed it out and let my printer do all the work!

 

I was so excited to make this for her.... She is truly the

BIGGEST GRINCH I know! LOL And I thought she could

use some holiday décor at her house! tehehehe

 

I'm entering this in the following Challenges:

2 Creative Chicks - Christmas/Winter

Cameo Creations - Santa is Coming to town

DLART - Thankful Thursday December Linky Challenge

Paper Playtime - Winter Fun

 

Thanks for taking a peek! I hope to get some free time

after Christmas.... My store will be closed so we can

take a much needed vacation and I can Craft! LOL

HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!!!!

 

Theresa

That's right I WAS!!! I just forgot! LOL It's all good though....

I'm preparing for a nice little vacation... Nope... I'm not going anywhere!

I'm hoping to just stay home and sleep and CRAFT! Let's just see if I can

do both.... but not in that order! LOL Until then.... I have to keep running

like an energizer bunny! :o) Which I'm totally ok with...

I thought I would share another Christmas card I made...

Sorry to tell ya guys this, but I've only got 4 done... I mean they're

in sets..... so technically it's 16 cards.... that's good right? ;o)
