Snowflakes of Joy....

This is another card that I "CASE'd" from Frenchie (such an inspiration for me)! This was such a fun card to make using our snowflake embossing folder and our ornaments set and punch. Really enjoyed sponging the snowflakes to make them pop!!! Oh, and don't forget the final little touch of the jingle bell on the ornament!!! This card just screams SNOW!!!! I love the snow. I love how when it firsts snows everything looks so clean and white and sparklie!!! Do not worry for those who do not share my enthusiasm, only a couple of months left....

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer....

Santa is not complete with out Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! So I just had to use our red glimmer paper with this (sorry it doesn't show very well) to make Rudolph's shiny red nose!!! It was just too cute to past up!!!

HO HO HO...

Couldn't let this pass me by! This just screams Christmas...Found this in one of my magazines, but this was a decorated sack. I just turned it into a card and the girls loved this super simple easy to make card!!! No stamping necessary, except for the inside saying.......who could pass this up, really!

O Christmas Tree.....

Now that the Christmas season is over and the tree has been taken down and the house put back in order, I am finally getting around to posting my Christmas cards from this past year. I am really liking the pennants punch and stamp set. Also like making the 3-d cards like this one....yes, that is our past DSP, but I am still trying to use up all my past DSP to justify buying new...lol

Christmas Stockings....CASE

This past November I came across Frenchie's blog and she has been very inspirational to me. This is one of the cards of hers that I "CASE'd" from her for Therapy Card Nite. It was a big hit, not only with the girls, but with me also! I loved it!!! I am sorry to see that this set and punch will not be carried over, but will most definatly be keeping these in my own private stash and will bring them out from time to time.

Happy New Year 2012!!!

Happy New Year!!! 2011 was a good year filled with lots of surprises and great times. I got to surpise my grandma for her birthday, received a promotion at work and got to take a wonderful vacation to Florida with my family!!! I look forward to the new year with great excitement and anticipation. I hope you have taken the time to reflect on the past year, good, bad, or a little inbetween, and look forward to what the new year will hold for you.

In celebration of the new year, I put my creative mind to use and came up with this New Year's card. I know it uses expired items, but when an idea pops in my mind I just got to make it regardless of what is current or expired.
