A few misc. projects

I wanted to get these posted before they totally escaped my memory!!  These are a mix of cards I taught or projects we completed at class as well as cards I created for various people.  I have to confess, most of these are CASes.  If I remember where I saw the idea, I'll try to link back to it. 

Here's my inspiration: Folded Christmas Tree Card

Unfortunately the link to Here doesn't work any more!

 I made a bunch of these in different colors.  Shown is Thistle  I made some as sympathy cards as well as birthday.  Loved the monochromatic theme!  

Sincere Expressions and Your Own Kind of Wonderful

Here's where I inspiration for this: Predominately Purple

I used CTMH Have a Happy Day for both the sentiment and frame.

This was a technique card: distress inks and heat embossing. 

I love CTMH's shimmer trim.  It's adhesive backed and goes on so nicely.  Plus who can resist all that sparkle!!  I used Teal Shimmer Trim

I used CTMH Dotty For You paper!

Totally loved this CTMH Hostess Stamp and totally CASed THIS

My mom came up with this design from this inspiration.  Really love the texture on the Cricut Art Philosophy acorn!

I love making shaped cards and this one is super sweet for the fall.  I used my Cricut Art Philosophy Collection to cut out the card, leaves and sentiment shape.

Gotta Love Mary at Cardz TV

Gotta love Dawn too!  Birthday gift card holder.

 I loved this set from Lisa and totally re-created it!

 CTMH Your Own Kind of Wonderful, Paper, bags and inks!

Fall themed cards.  Used left over Cricut Art Philosophy leaves. 

Lawn Fawn...need I say more! Birthday card.

Stampendous...just loved this guy!  I used these as thank you's for Christmas gifts for the kiddos.

Whew!  Glad I got these up!  Nice trip down memory lane...so many talented folks out there willing to share with us creatively challenged folks!!  I, for one, am very thankful!

CD Calendar

Well, I have resigned myself to the fact that I just don't have the time to keep up a daily or even weekly blog post.  I'm going to make a concerted effort to post at least monthly.  I teach a card class on a monthly basis, so I'd like to be able to keep up with at least posting those creations!

Unfortunately, I have a back log of projects now to post!

For our January class, I wanted to make a refill for the CD calendars we made last year.  I used the template from Here and lots of my CTMH stamps (plus a few Lawn Fawn and other misc.).  I put the links under each picture.  This will be picture heavy since there are 12 months!

Mother's Day and Father's Day gift ideas

Hi all,

I'm so far behind in posting my most recent crafty creations...so, of course I now have to play catch up.

Here's a very easy and cute Mother's Day gift, especially if you have a lot of Mother's to celebrate!
I diecut and stamped the sentiment with my CTMH Art Philosophy Collection as well as the doily.  And I admit, I did not come up with this myself...I found this idea on one of our CTMH blog hops from Here.

And of course, we cannot forget the Dad's...what man doesn't like a little chocolate...well, mine doesn't, but if it's full of nuts, then he'll eat it.  That's why his was a Mr. Goodbar!  I cut these ties from the CTMH Artiste Collection.  The ones we made during card class were smaller chocolate bars and had mustaches instead...so cute!

Lastly, here are a couple of Father's Day themed cards I taught to the ladies at church.  I followed this fabulous tutorial on how to do a sailor's knot on a card.

And I couldn't resist making these cute Hero cards...the card base was cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge.  Love this cute Lawn Fawn set too...did you guess it's a Halloween set?!?

More Cards

Here are a few cards we created at our February Women's Craft night at church...I wanted to teach the ladies how to make an easel card.  These were stamps that my dear friend bought at a yard sale...two ladies who came each got to take them home as door prizes!

Also, I just wanted to share this Valentine Card I made my loving hubby! Love these cute birds from Lawn Fawn!
