Last Post for 2014!!

Hello & Happy NEW YEAR'S EVE everyone!!!!

Can you believe today is the last day of this year!

WOW! It has certainly flown by for me and so much

has happened & changed this year for me & my family...

Some good, some bad... And yet, I seemed to survived it

all! HA Well.. I thought I would end the year with a card!

As you all know... I LOVE making Cards, so it's no surprise

to you! LOL I'm finishing off the year with another

ADORABLE SVG file from: Kadoodle Bug Designs

 

 

FUN IN THE SNOW

 

These adorable Marshmallow looking bears just

had me the minute I saw them...

I could not just cut 1 of them... they're just too cute!

 

 

 

I first want to say... I did CAS(e) this card design

from my wonderful blogging friend Norma

over at: Pink Bling Crafter

She made an ADORABLE doggie card & I just

loved the design.....

Wanna build a Snowman???

Hello & Happy Tuesday my fellow bloggers!!!

How are things going for you today? I've taken down

all of my holiday decorations already & cleaned the house!

I never like to start the New Year off with my Holiday stuff...

It's just one of those things for me... I like to start FRESH! Ahhh

 

I also don't like making New Year's Resolutions...

The main reason is... I never follow through, so what's the point?

I try to make goals for myself throughout the year, which I find

easier for me to do & I stick with them! No pressure, no worries! :)

 

Today I thought I would share another winter card

using the adorable SVG file from: Kadoodle Bug Designs

 

 

Fun in the Snow

 

Just reminding you of the 90% off  Sale...

it ends Tuesday Dec. 30th!!

Hello & Happy Monday! I hope you all had a

wonderful Christmas with your Family & Friends!

Did you get some crafting goodies this year? I asked

for gift cards to some of my favorite crafting sites!

So I have some shopping to do!!! YAY I already

spent some at Jaded Blossoms... I don't have many

of their products, so I'm super excited to try them out!

 

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the new

SVG File over at: Kadoodle Bug Designs

Dragons away....

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone! This will be my last post

for this week... I want to spend some quality time with

my youngest... We're gonna watch some Christmas Movies together! :)

 

I did have a blast yesterday with my BFF!

We had a wonderful lunch & our boys got to hang out...

We did some over due catching up which was nice.

 

Didn't have time to make my fudge... but that's still

gonna happen today! It's a must have! And Stephanie....

I read your comment from yesterday and I remember eating

fudge with a spoon too when it didn't come out right....

I've learned to make the fudge just right... but with us moving

to a lower elevation... I think that may have played a part in

the bad fudge batch! HA We shall see today! Wish me luck! LOL

 

Okay... last gift idea I will share with you...

I'm still using the adorable SVG File from:

Gift cards away.....

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone! Are you ready?

You know what I'm talking about... Are you ready for

Christmas? Do you have everything done? Even those

last minute gifts? All the baking done? Hmmm

 

Hunter & I managed to get a ton of cookies made..

So many cookies that I don't think we can eat them all!

But it was fun baking with him.... He got tired toward the

end of it... He stuck it out & was happy we baked

them together... Then I tried to make my Grandma's

fudge... you know the good old fashion kind that takes

a lot of sugar & a lot of time stirring... Yup that's the kind!

But since we moved & the elevation is much lower....

it didn't come out... and since I'm a crazy person

as most of you know! LOL I will try again today!

I have almost everything wrapped too! I'm waiting for

just a couple more gifts for one of my boys and

then I'm done!

 

But I am super excited today.... cuz one of my BFF's

is coming for a visit! She & I are having lunch together

and I'm soooo excited to see her... I miss her & my

other friends, so it'll be a great day no matter what! HA

 

Okay.... I'll stop rambling on so I can share a last minute

gift idea for that person who has everything...

 

I'm using this adorable file from:

Kadoodle Bug Designs

 

 

It's called: Christmas Dragons

and it's still on SALE for $1

But you need to hurry, cuz this Sale

is ending very soon!

 

Here's what I made....

 

 

You know Gift Cards are the best gift for

last minute gift giving or for that someone

who has everything!

 

I made this card rather simple... Cuz I was in a hurry...

that happens... right? :)

Your a mean one....

Hello & Happy Saturday to you all!

I'm trying to get my Christmas cards together

to mail out.. Talk about a headache! UGH!

I'm not sending out many because I realized

that most people don't seem to care about 

Christmas Cards anymore... So now I limit who

will receive a card from me... If your a Blogging

friend of mind and I have your address... you'll probably

get one! Certain friends of mine will and very few family

members will. And you've all seen the cards I've been

making, but I never finish the insides at the same time, unless

it's a card I had planned to send ASAP to someone.... :)

So I'll try and get them all done and mailed by Monday!

Wish me luck on that! hahaha

I know you're not here to listen to me

ramble about my Christmas Cards thing..

So here's another card to add to my collection! :o)

Here comes Santa Claus....

Hello & welcome to my last double post

of the week! Whew! That was exhausting!

But I hope you got some inspiration from

something I posted this week! I did have fun 

sharing what I've been making! Trust me...

I have more! But there's only so many days

in the month to share! LOL

I'm a "Flip Card" Addict! I truly

do LOVE them! Everything is right

there at your finger tips to make

a card in minutes... that's unless you're

like me and can NEVER decide on what

paper to use! Ha Otherwise it's pretty

quick to make & puts action on your card too!

Candle light....

Hello for the 2nd time today!

In the last year I have found myself

gravitating toward wood working

projects. I have a friend who makes the

most adorable wood crafting projects.

So I thought, I can make those too...

Not like hers of course, but ones that

show my personality through...

So here is something I made &
it only cost me 75¢ for the wood piece.

I'm so HAPPY with how this project turned out!

Designer Paper - Bo Bunny (Elf Magic)

Ribbon - Stampin' Up

Mod Podge

Holly & Berries - My Stash

Flames - Yellow Embossing Powder

I couldn't find a yellow/orange color for the

flames so I improvised! I did find some at the store

later on, so I'll fix it... But this is sitting on a shelf

in my living room.
