Hello there!

Today I made a little Valentine's card for my grand daughter.  It was made with my new Penny Black stamp set.  I stamped the image twice.  Once on the plain paper and then again on the polka dot paper.  (Love polka dots!!!)  I cut the ears and her dress out of the polka dot paper and layered it on.  I colored the rest of the image with Copics and then cut it out.  A little flock for her tail.  The large heart I added glossy accent.  Hard to tell if she is supposed to be a Valentine's or Easter image... So I'll likely use her for both!

The heart behind her was cut out from my Cricut using Sweethearts cartridge.  I chose to save the heart for another time and use the negative.  I cut strips from paper that had already been used for a project or two and layered it behind the heart.  It's a fun way to use leftover pieces of paper in a pretty way!  I added some brads, some twine and another heart from the stamp set.    I added some white dots along the bottom.  They really changed the look of the project!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Christmas Card

I hope you all are doing well!  Life has flipped itself upside down here and I feel like the blood is rushing to my head!  lol!  

I made this Christmas card for a family member (It's posted on the Cricut  FANatics blog).  It was quick and simple.  I used one cart:  Christmas Cheer for the sleigh and trees.  A little flock to them both and they were done.  It was a super easy card to do.  It so reminded me of days when families used to go to the woods and pick out their own trees.  I don't live close enough to the woods to do this, but I sure wish I did!

I hope to get a video up of a bunch of quick cards I made using a bunch of stickers that I have had forever!  They turned out so nice.  Since getting my Cricut, I find I rarely use them any more and hence, had a huge pile of them!  Trying to economize, reduce, reuse... blah, blah blah!  You know the story.  lol!
