Well Christmas has passed.  But 1st thing you know it will be BACK!!!  YUP and this year I ran out (well almost) of handmade card (but I did send out 55....) and sold some... so anyway... I would have also liked to send out more to my international friends but the postage is so very expensive.... So when I saw Christmas cards arriving in my office I asked if I could get them after.  And of course the answer was yes because no one keeps cards from suppliers right?!?  And as well I had some that I got as well that would have gone into the recycling bin but this way I was able to repurpose them! I made a little video of the pile that I got made into one very fast afternoon!  Super happy with this. It also allowed me to use bits and pieces of scrap paper that were in my ever growing pile of scraps! Here's the video: And here are a few of the cards that I made.  Most are only 4x4 inch cards so pretty small I'm entering these little Christmas card...

OMG did you see the new release image from  Faery ink ?!?  She's just sooooo pretty!!!  And I had a special card to make for a friend's b-day... of course I'm late in sending it out... but well this way she will continue her b-day celebration longer.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you my very 1st make of the year for the Delicious Doodles Challenge. I made another little Christmas card.  YUP I'm on fire trying to get ahead of the game because as far as it went in 2015 I had barely enough for my family and friends.  I ran out for other people that I would have liked to send cards too! And right now the mailing is pretty expensive so I wanted to keep this card fairly flat.  I used a great image called    Frozen Fountain .  The sentiment is from  Create with TLC . I colored this image lightly with my copics.  I added some prima bling left over from another project and the last on the page of stickers. The sentiment was from  Create with TLC  and it was cut with my large circle and my scallop circle for the background.  The same as the background for the digi and leftover papers from another project. I'm entering this little card in the following challen...

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Oddball Stamps .  I had so much fun making this make.  I used a left over index card that I had put left over paint on!  That's the best inspiration EVER. And of course I used the fab image 128 .  I even doodled on this with a sharpie and my uniball white pen!!!  YAY I don't do a lot of that on my art work usually. I thought the sentiment was just perfect for this image.  It comes from the last club over at  Create with TLC . I'm entering this little index card in the following challenges: Deep ocean challenge blog  - Anything goes The papernest dolls challenge  - Anything goes Not just cards challenges  - Anything goes Crafting from the heart challenge blog  - anything goes Love to scrap challenge blog  - Anything goes That's it for me!!! Hope you have liked this make :) Hugs

WOW It's alreay the beginning of January and 2016!!!  And that means it's also time for the midway point for Scribbles Challenge!  For the Bingo challenge .  I used this make for a little gift to put in the stockings of my colleagues. For this one I used the fab   Too Moose Tree .  The pop up box was made using my Cameo Silhouette.  The pearls are from Martha Stewart craft and I used my Nellie's ovals for this as well as some scrap papers.  The image was colored with my copics. and I did Red, sentiment, pattern paper, pearls and glitter (on the star on top of the tree) I'm hoping that you will like this little pop up box.

For this 1st make of the new year I'm here with a brand new image from  The East Wind .  It's a great freebie if you are registered for the newsletter. I decided to get ahead of my Christmas card with this little one :)  YAY 1st thing that you know you will need those.... so might as well use the time when it's cold outside to make some.

Hi everyone!  I hope that you are having a fabulous NEW YEAR's EVE.  I spent today having fun and just playing and using some recycling. I have been watching lots of videos on Youtube and wanting to play with new techniques and finally got around to it during the holidays.  I have put some paint on newspapers that I got from my friend Monique Van Dijk to wrap the fab canvas that I purchased from her. I also recycled a bunch of toilet paper rolls :)  Yup it's a great use for all those little rolls!!!  And with a family of 6 I can honestly say that we go through LOTS. You can find the video of the flip through on my Youtube channel here.  And you can purchase my little album in my etsy store here I have used a lot of digi images that I had from Sassy Cheryl.  I went with a theme of flowers because the title of the book is Life in full bloom.  The sentiments on top of the pages are from  Create with TLC .  The ones that are on the...
