Felt Snowman....

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

Do you have big plans for Easter Weekend???

We did... but still having trouble with our

car, so we'll be staying home.... Just means

more time for crafting! 😊 I hope you guys can

get out and enjoy the beautiful weekend and maybe

collect an egg or two from the Easter Bunny! 😄

Yesterday, I showed you my holiday card from

last week... which was made but didn't get my

pictures done in time... So, today I'm gonna show you

this weeks holiday card! I tell ya what... My holiday 

stash is looking pretty darn good so far! I'm really glad 

I chose to get a jump start on them! 😊

Isn't this just so darn CUTE!??? LOVE the way this one turned out!

The Designer Paper is from my Extra Left over stash again -

My snowman is felt & I got him from Micheal's after the holidays

this past year. It was a bag with snowmen, Santa, doggies, 

& Polar Bears. I plan to use the others on some cards & tags - 

They already have adhesive on the backs, 

which made it easy to adhere - The brand was Creatology

And I think they're super cute - this guy goes perfectly with the papers

I picked from my stash! 😃

Holly Shaker....

Hello & Happy Friday!! Oops! I Mean Thursday!

It just feels like Friday, because I have a short 

week at work! YAY! I'm sooo glad it's the weekend! LOL

I know, I know.. Pretty sad... But I just can't wait for school

to be over with... I'm already pooped! It's Warm

& Beautiful outside and that's really where I want

to be right now! Enjoying the beautiful Spring Weather

before our evil Summer pops it's ugly head!! 😂

I didn't get a chance to show you my Weekly

holiday card from last week.... So, I thought today

would be the perfect time to share! 

I'm super happy with how this card turned out - Fairly simple

to throw together... and the Shaker element is always a fun

element on any project! 😀 I'm using up some of my large

stash of Designer paper... You know the extra pieces we ALL

seem to have & keep for that extra project but rarely use!

Yup! That's the stuff! LOL

Bride & Groom....

Hello & Happy Wednesday Everyone!

We have a short work week this week...

Thanks to Easter being on Sunday... We get

4 days off... This is our last break before

School gets out next month! Soooo,

hopefully I can play catch up with many, many

things I need to get done this weekend!

I thought I would share one of the cards I made

for my son... He needed 2 Wedding cards and wanted 

them both too be different... Sooo, I found a design in

the Silhouette Store... I started out making it like

the card shape... but.... started to run into trouble...

HOW?? You ask? Well... Heck I don't know... All

I do know is after 4 tries... I came up with a new game plan...

Here's the card that gave me trouble... 

Basically, the trouble began when I wanted to cut the shape

without the dotted fold lines... I thought I measured it

correctly... so when I made my score lines.. it was off...

So I tried it again... same thing... tried one last time and

got it right.... I then proceeded to make the card.....

Started looking great... then *Me* being the "Must add More"

crafter that I am.... choose to add some Nuvo drops

to the necklace (which is NOT on this card) ... Well..

I had a miss step... and it got in the wrong place...

When I tried to fix it... well.... let's just say.... their was

NO WAY to fix it.... so then I had to remake the WHOLE CARD!

So then I decided to resize the card.. cuz I thought it

was too big anyway... Well... then came the score line mishap

all over again.... By this time.... You would think I would have

given up... NOPE! Not this stubborn chick! 😂

I finally decided.. SCREW IT! I'm making this a basic card

of 5 x 5 and I'm cutting off the original dress &

tuxedo and adding it to the card front of this new

5 x 5 square card! Yup... that's what really happened...

I tell ya what... Sometimes when we craft and things

just don't go our way... we really should just STOP!

Next time I swear I'll do that! (maybe) 😁

** Supplies Used on this Card **

Time to Celebrate!

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine was crazy busy!

We had issues with the car (of course)... And then

I got a request for several cards from my son....

Which I wanted to get done & give to him before

he went home... Then of course my hubby wanted to spend

some quality time with me... Which made computer time pretty

much null! Then throw in Laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. 🙍

Soooo, If I haven't hit up your blog recently,

no worries I'll get my rounds in, hopefully this week! 😊

I never even had a chance to share my holiday card with you...

I still need to take the pictures of it... LOL

I do have my Monthly Card Swap card to show you...

My card swap is tomorrow night, so I figure it wouldn't

hurt to share it the day before we swap! :)

The theme for April is (Baby or Kid Card) And

there was a sketch... but again I didn't follow it...

Just wasn't my thing... Luckily.. the ladies in my group

don't mind that I don't follow it sometimes, because they

enjoy getting my cards anyway! 😁

I decided to use Mojo Monday Sketch #485 Again.... 

I really liked that sketch

and I made my cards, Birthday cards... so I could use them for the

Teachers at School or for a kid/child! (wink wink)

I made some for a boy and some for a girl - This way the ladies in

my group can decide what they might need --

I think they turned out great - I added some Clear Wink of 

Stella on the girly cards (Candles, Cake, Confetti)

-- Supplies Used on my Cards --

Cardstock - Bazzill, Stampin' Up, Papertrey Ink

Designer Paper & Elements - Echo Park (Birthday Wishes Boy & Girl)

Beary Celebrate!

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

How was your weekend? Did you go out?

Stay in and craft? I actually stayed in and

organized some more... I got my new shelf

up and my Stamps fit on it perfectly... Sooo

While I did that I changed a few things in my craft room

so I could fit & keep the bookshelf my Hubby made me!

You didn't actually think I would cave & 

give it to him did you?? 😂

I figured out a spot to put it... but that meant moving some

other shelves I had on the walls.... Picture this --

Hubby saying NO WAY the whole time and yet

does it for me anyway! 😀 So then, I decided to re-arrange

a few more drawers/tables - Vacuumed & cleaned it all

down (SPRING CLEANING) & now it looks like a clean

organized craft room again! YAY! That is until I

start pulling out my stuff to use again! 😀 

You ALL know how it is!

I then ordered some more fridge bins so I can store

my 6x6 paper pads in them - and those will go on

the homemade shelf hubby made me.... they'll fit nicely I think! 

Which will also free up some more space for

ummmmm.. OTHER CRAFTS!!! 😂

All in all it was a very productive weekend and I'm

very happy (For Now) how my craft space looks! 😉

After ALL the Jibber Jabbering I thought I would

share a Sweet Birthday card - The Music Teacher

at school, asked if I could make at least 5 more

female Birthday cards, for the month of April....

Apparently we have a lot of April Birthday Babies

(Including ME) 😃.... 

So, I had 4 on hand, ready to go and needed to make 1 more

 to give her and this is what I made --

I think it turned out sooo CUTE!!! 

 I won this Stampin' Up (Pop of Pink) Washi Tape Collection 

from my crafty friend Beckie over at My Mouse Dreams - 

So, I thought... hummm I better use it! 😃

I'm using my new Diagonal Stripe Sentiment Die & Beary Special Birthday Stamp set from My Favorite Things ....
