What A Wunderful Holiday!

Well another christmas has come and gone....It was wonderful to get to see so many family members over the holidays this year. And of course it was fun to watch our nieces and nephews open up their presents. I loved our conversations about Santa Claus, etc. so much fun!! I'm not ready to take down our tree just yet and I'm justifying it because there are still a couple of gifts under the tree that haven't been opened yet:) No cards to share with you today although there should be a lot to come in the near future with all of the craft supplies I got! Wow I am a lucky girl:) But I did want to share a quick picture of the mondo egg we got from one of our chickens the other day:

It's massive! I definetly feel sorry for whoever laid that one! Poor girl. Jesse and I both have our guesses as to who did it (he picked Sophia and I picked Blanche). Can't wait to have a huge New Year's Day breakfast with our friends to use up all of the eggs that have stockpiled in the fridge!

I hope all of your holidays were wunderful too!:)

thanks for stopping by!

Long time no post.....

Wow, I have been a bad blogger....It's been so long since my last post and trust me I've still been busy making cards:) 'Tis the season to spend so much time on your to-do lists that it doesn't leave a lot of time for fun (like updating your own blog or checking out other people's:) I managed to give everyone on my mailing list a home-made card this year and I had a lot of fun. I like to make different cards, but it can be a lot of work, maybe next year everyone will get the same one...who knows. All of my gifts are wrapped, the house and tree is decorated and my baking is ready to be enjoyed, now I can relax in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate and take in my christmas tree in all of its Charlie Brown goodness:) (In my opinion, the uglier the better). Here are a couple of christmas cards that I've made recently. Both of these cards were scrap-lifted from some talented people over at splitcoaststampers.

Supplies:

-chocolate chip, very vanilla, and merry moments dsp

-real red, handsome hunter, and always artichoke ink

-Delightful Decorations stamp set from SU!

Supplies:

-real red, old olive, whisper white, and merry moments dsp

-real red, basic black ink

-Delightful Decorations and Warm Words stamp sets from SU!

hiatus

wow...talk about a hiatus...I guess I'm due for a new post:) I recently finished quite a few scrapbooking pages, and it's about time that I post some:) I had to make some companion pages for my wedding scrapbook. I'm usually a 2-page scrapbooker and in the past have always done both pages at the same time, but lately I've been doing one page at a time with different sketches. I can't decide which routine I like better:) Anyways, here are some of my latest pages

I used sketch #35 from 52sketches52weeks for the above page (sorry for the blurriness, but I'm too lazy to take another pic). I paper pierced the green paper and connected the dots with a white gel pen for a faux stitched look. The butterflies were stamped first using my For all you do stamp set from SU! onto patterned paper and cut out. I used teeny white brads for the bodies of the butterflies (they look better in real life:) I love this grouping of photos! I made this to go along with this page I made a while back:

I made the next page as the LS to go along with this one:

I absolutely loved the rub on in the top right corner and had to use it's mirror image for this LS:

I included the vows that Jesse and I wrote for each other. I'm loving this one:) Only a few more pages until the wedding scrapbook is finally done:)

Thanks for stopping by!

Card Patterns Sketch #40

I'm getting back into the card making groove with some card sketch challenges. Here's a card I made using the most recent on from Card Patterns:

Oh how I love that Dasher stamp! I just can't get enough of him! I can't wait to start pulling out my red brads to make him Rudolph instead:) I really liked this sketch, I loved the clean lines and that I was able to use so many patterns on one card:) I didn't add any brads, buttons or eyelets in the bottom left corner because I thought it was cute the way it is:)

Supplies:

-Dasher

-Merry Moments dsp from SU!

-real red, and whisper white cs.

-real red ink

-red satin ribbon
