My 2010 Christmas Cards

Okay.....finally the card is finished. I started working on these cards back in October. I created little pieces of it at a time. Once I saw the car with the tree tied to the top I knew I have to make that. So....what to do about the rest of it. Well, I was surfing the net and found the pattern for the pop-up card on the LaLa-Land blog (http://lalalandcrafts.blogspot.com/search/label/Tutorials) I instantly fell in love with the design and had to create it for my Christmas card this year. I will admit, I only made EIGHT of these cards. I made a second card to send out to the masses. I hope you love it as much as I do! I had such a great time making this card, I think I will now commit to making birthday cards for my love ones with some sort of pop-up idea. Now that I've figured out how to make them...they were a huge hit with my family. Check out the LaLa -Land blog, they've got some great stamps if you're into Copic Markers. Happy Holidays!

As promised!

Wow...two posts in one day!!! I was so excited about the sketch I turned right around and got busy. So...as promised, here is the layout that I made from the sketch that I created earlier today. The products I used were from the 35mm Studio Calico Monthly Kit. I love the hexagon stamp. I'd been looking for one for months so when I saw the one in their kit, I had to get the whole thing. I hope you liked this sketch and layout....there will be more to come! I'd love to see what you come up with from my sketch. Add a comment to this post with a link to what you've created!

PageMaps RW Laser Cuts Chipboard Contest

Ahhhh.....another PageMap challenge. I am so addicted to these challenges now. But, this time no running out and spending a million dollars to complete the challenge. This time I added a little bit to the challenge for myself....NO SHOPPING! Oh no...what did I commit myself to? With the added stress of not being able to buy new stuff for this one.....off to my mini scrapbook store also know as "my closet" to round up some supplies to get this done, all the while remembering there was a color challenge too! YIKES! I once had a vision to complete a mini album that doubled as a cookbook for my 21 year old. Of course when I had the vision (I don't want to say how long ago it was...) I bought all the essentials, but never completed the project (go figure?). What a better time than the present to use those supplies. So, with this layout I used the Nana's Kitchen w/ Glitter stack by DCWV to get me started. I also wanted to use these pictures of my little one holding a slice...

PageMaps Contest

My Memory Suite sketch contest Can you believe it's been six months since I've posted anything....WOW!!!! Now that doesn't mean that I haven't been scrappin', it just means I haven't had the chance to put anything up online. Here's why. In April I was making meatloaf for dinner. I put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and dove my hands into it to mix it all up....all of a sudden....WOOOOOOOOOWW!!!! I dislocated my thumb! Yep...popped it right out! Yes, it hurt! So...here I am several months later with my hand in brace, numbness and tingling starting from the tip of my fingers that radiates up my arm and finally fades away once it hits my clavicle. I had x-rays taken, a MRI and a nerve conduction test. And the diagnosis.... Severe nerve damage that will take up to a year to heal itself. A YEAR!!!! But, I avoided having surgery and it will, in time, heal itself. Ahhhh! So...my friends/followers...I'm back in action!...
