Thank you for checking out my blog. I have been married to a wonderful man for 11 years. I am a mother of three children three cats a chihuahua and two hamsters. I have been scrapbooking for about 5 years. I am a Close To My Heart Consultant in Great Falls, MT. I love many crafts such as scrapbooking, stamping, card making and sewing.
This is the card challenge for the week. Actually it serves 2 purposes. A girl that I work with has moved on to a higher salary. Who can blame her in this enconomy.
A couple of weeks ago we had record cold to deal with. We woke up one morning to a dusting of snow. By that afternoon the leaves fell off of the tree AND THEY WERE STILL GREEN. I have never seen anything like this before. Now we have no leaves on the tree. I was so sick with the flu that I couldn't even think of messing with downloading photos and sharing. Now that I am better and the temps have bounced back to normal I would like to share with you all.
This card is tonight's challenge. Pg 121. I love this paper and the more I play with it the more I fall in love. I found this card design a little challanging. However once I started working on it I thought of tons of ways to use it. So this week I am going to come up with other uses for this card. I was just going to use card stock on this card but I found that it was lacking something so at the very end I changed it. I hope you like the change. I used the paper from the jingle creative basics. some dots from the level 2 jingle pack Juniper and Tulip card stock and the juniper ribbon from the creative basics.
This card was made today. I free cut 3 ovals and made a pumpkin out of the shapes. I used a sizzix die to make the swirls. The papers are Orange, Autumn Terracotta, Olive card stocks and B&T from Enchanted paper pack. The stamp is from Many Thanks stamp set. This was just a fun card before I began my weekly challange.
This card was last weeks challange with Judy. I have been sick with the flu then bronchitis. Anxious to start creating again. I love 3x3 cards. They are so very handy to have around when you meet someone.
A lady at work orderd a few birthday cards. This is what I came up with so far. I wanted to come up with very diffrent looks for each card. I still have a few more to work on.
