25th Anniversary Card

Today is my parents 25th wedding anniversary.

This is the card that I made for them.

This is a Regular card that fits in to a A2 sized envelope. The scalloped squares were cut from the StoryBook cartridge and so was the 25. I really wanted to keep it simple but elegant.

Here is the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoy and have a great day. :)

Birthday Card- Action Wobble

It was my Father in-laws Birthday a few days ago so my kids and I made him a card. For this card I used the Smiley Cards cartridge on my Gypsy. We kept the card very simple since he's not really into cards. :)

I made a quick video to show the movement from the "action wobble".

Family Tree ~ Crafting with my sister

Wow! It's been along time since I've posted any craftiness! My crafting mojo has been on vacation for the last few weeks.

A week ago my sister came to visit for a few days and while she was visiting she asked me if I could help her with a project that she wanted to make for her in-laws and also for our parents for Christmas. She hates crafting but she is really in to family history so for Christmas she wanted to make "Family Tree" posters.

The top picture is my sister working on her in-laws poster. This one was pretty easy for us to do once we finally figured out what it is we really wanted to do.

For the posters we chose to put the Grandparents in the big center tree and all of their kids are the smaller trees and the Grandkids are the apples

Our family was a little more difficult since we have 16 kids and 40+ Grandkids so fitting it all on the board was a little tricky.

My sister had to go home before we were able to complete the project but I gave her the cartridges we were using so she can finish it with our mom's Cricut and hopefully she will send me pictures of the completed project so I can post them.

I hope you and that you all have a great night!

Snowman Card ~ From the Snow Friends Cartridge

I created this card for 2 challenges that I have never participated in before. (i'm trying to branch out.) :-) The first is E.A.D. Designs Color Challenge, and the second is a sketch challenge at Card Patterns sketch #90.

I'm totally loving this card! My niece lives in Hawaii and I think this card is just perfect to send her for Christmas. The bright colors and the happy little snowman make me smile every time I see it. :)

I hope you enjoy and have a great day!

Digital Delights Nutcracker Challenge

Ok, so this is my first time coloring in a digital stamp. I had tons of fun after I finally figured out how to get it to print the size I wanted. (I am so dumb when is comes to computers.) I have never really been that in to stamps, I mostly just used sentiment stamps and of course my very favorite, Pk face stamps. But after I saw Court from Courts's Crafts post a beautiful card the other day using this stamp I knew I had to give it a try.

I got this stamp from Digital Delights for free. (I think they give one away for free every week. but I'm not positive about that.) I decided to enter it in to their challenge so I could get this super cute fairy they have also for free. :)

Here is a close up of him.

I had so much fun doing this! I felt like a kids again. I used to spend hours coloring in my coloring books when I was a little girl and this is just like coloring books but for grown ups. Although when my kids saw me doing this they all asked my to print ones out so they could color too. :)

Recipe:

Stamp Image: Digital Delights

Markers: Bic, dark gray, lt. gray, red, purple,yellow, black

Paper: from my scraps

Embellishments: Dark purple buttons and ribbon

Other: peach chalk, black,white gel pens, yellow Stickles

If I get the fairy stamp I'll post it later this week.

I hope you enjoy and have a great day :)
