Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone.  Hope everyone is getting things done and not stressing too bad.  I got all my Chrismas shopping done but nothing is wrapped.  My youngest daughter and I are going to start wrapping tomorrow afternoon.  Going  grocery shopping in the morning for Christmas eve and Christmas day.  Plus trying to pack for Fla.  My DH and I are leaving at 2:30am on the 27th. 

I made this card that I saw on the back of CardMaker magazine.  The card was made by Latisha Yoast.  Mary  http://cardztv.blogspot.com Had made this card in her 12 Days of Christmas cards.

I used the same recipe that she had used. If you get a chance check out her blog. I love everything that she does.  I really like the way it came out.

The tree is cut from Lryical Letters @ 4"  You can find this on page 67.
Elegant Edges. I'm really glad that I got this cart. Page 38 Shadow feature and the oblong feature.
Textile cuddlebug embossing folder.
Banner was cut from Stand and Salute cart @ 3/4"

Thanks Mary for the video on how you made this and Thanks Latisha for the inspiration.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Snowflake

Hi.  Hope everyone had a productive week. I'm still working on my second calender for 2013.  I finally did get to make a christmas card.
I'm entering it in the FCCB challenge for this week. http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com  The challenge is "SNOW"
The challenge over on My Craft Spot http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com is Merry Christmas. So I'm going to enter it in this challenge also.
The free cut this week in the ccr is "When its cold outside"  I cut the snowflake at 3 inches. I set it on a rossette from the Rosette and Ribbon Cart. The Merry Christmas is from MS Seasonal Cake art cart.         Here is the snowflake before I made the card.  I used stickle on the snowflake and a gem in the middle.

I embossed the base card with the snowflake embossing folder. I used ribbon from my stash.

The cheerleader and her Football Player

I  made these for a calender page.  I needed something for September besides the usual Labor day.  2013 Labor day will be Sept 2nd.  In September The kids are back in school and the football games start. So I decided to do Sept and Foot ball.

I used the Teddy Bear on Parade cart for the football player and the cheerleader.  I cut around the cutouts to make the pom poms more realistic for the cheerleader.   I had alot of fun making these.

 

 

I have entered this in the New Monthly Challenge over on the Lasting Memories blog http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com  I have done one complete 2013 calender and this is my 2nd calender for 2013.  I start out simple and my mind thinks of other things to put on each page.  By the time I'm done its taken almost all day to do the LO page.

I really enjoy making the calenders.  The numbers and Days of the week are from the Designer's calender  cart.
