More Christmas

Quick and easy is my motto this year.  Next is to actually get them mailed which seems to be a problem for me.  I get them made, and they sit there.  Forever.  LOL  

Christmas Card #2

Merry Christmas Card #1!!!!

I can't believe I haven't posted since July!!! Where has the time gone?  I have been busy doing other things and have really neglected my stamping!!! Quilting has become an obsession too so now I am trying to balance the 2 hobbies.. .... let's see how it goes!

I am loving this Cricut Christmas tag (Joys of  .  I am also loving this Christmas DP I found on my last trip to Joanns.  Good stuff Maynard! (does anyone remenber the Mapo commercials?)

CAS White

I finally used my border embossing folders . These are easy peasy.  The photo is not the best quality but you might just make out the scoring lines on the blue card to, adds a little extra to the card.

More Poppy Parade

I am absolutely loving the SU Poppy Parade and the new Lattice embossing folder.  Woohoo!!!

KK Flowers Pink

My friend KK sent me a wonderful stamp set and I just had a lot of fun the other day using them.  Love the MS butterfly punch and my most favorite Swiss Dot Embossing folder.

Sistah Thank You

We met, we ate, we stamped and generally had a good time. 

I finally got to meet again with my Kota Pen Pal "Sistahs" and we had a really good time.  Of course we should have spent more time stamping and less time talking?  I learned more about the SU watercolor crayons and now I want them all!!!!  This is a thank you note for the Hostess with the Mostest Pinkerstinkerabella!  It will be in the mail soon!

Hearts and Flower

I drew this image a LONG time ago and it has been hanging around on my desk and I am tired of it mocking me.  This will be going out to one of my pen pals soon!

Thinkin of You

I actually did 2 cards almost alike, LOL!  Well ALMOST.  These were quick and easy and fun to make.  Love sponging.

Birdhouse CASE

I loved the card I saw on SCS (see link below) and since I didn't have a Birdhouse stamp I just drew my own birdhouses.  Simple, but I like the way they came out.

Casing

Hey! I did it!  I finally was able to "force" myself not only to CASE a card, but to make more than one.  I started with making these Easter cards for my penpals.  Well, that didn't fly.  I did send out a few to my aunts and my niece but the rest are on my desk waiting for next Easter.

So then because it was so easy and I really liked the layout I made several more and changed up the sentiments and colors, oh yeah, and changed the Embossing folders. 

Using my stash!

So I am finally using this stamp that I got a few months ago at a "yard" sale at the Scrapbook store in town. I really am pleased that it worked out.  I have made over 25 cards in the past couple of weeks for a request I had and this is one of the many.  I will try to post the majority on here when I can.  Siobella, I know you had a challenge to use an uninked stamp and I made this and forgot to post it to your Use it Tuesday blog.  Sigh.
