Sleigh Full of Toys

I have had this SU set for a long time and yet this is the first time I've pulled it out and used it. I made six of this card to send out this year. The picture isn't great...it has a lot of shine to it that just isn't coming through. I have a couple of fall cards to post later today or tomorrow.

Have a great Sunday!

Christmas Card, Version 1

These are the first batch of Christmas cards I made...I went to my first Crop in September with my friend Rosemary and instead of scrapbooking, I used the 12 hours of time (less the time spent eating, visiting with a lovely set of ladies, and running my husband to get his car from the mechanics) to work on a couple of designs. I would never make it on a design team because I can't remember who the image is by or even where I got it. I think the DP is DCWV and I know I colored the images with my beloved Copics.

Happy Wednesday!!

A Boo-tiful Card

This card is one of about five I made with hanted house Sizzix die I picked up for 50% off at AC Moore and a cute little skeleton by Eat Cake Graphics I got from Cathy at Paper Garden. The card came together in a flash.

Back in Action!

Where exactly does time go? August slipped into September and now we are half way through October! I've been sort-of crafty since my last post and have a few things to share.

Here is an unfinished card I am working on. The images are from Stamps by Judith. I really like her stuff, especially the versatility of them. This image is actually three separate stamps. I colored them with my Copics and will just be adding some ribbon with a tag saying "boo" on it to finish it off.

Almost Back in the Crafting Saddle

Here is my second cast. It got decorated today at VBS. It was a great week but I am glad it is over---I am exhausted!












This is my son's Lego Club 2009 Book. We put it together using a clear acrylic book I picked up at Creative Inklings. I love this store and am hoping the economy leaves this sweet little store alone. While AC Moore and Michel's are great for the basics, this store rocks for the special touches.


























This card is simple. A stamp I picked up at CK Valley Forge for 1/2 price and a couple Nestabilities I picked up as well. The scalloped oval was airbrushed with my Copic air brush system and the image was colored with Copics as well.

Easing Back Into Posting

I have been easing back into spending time on the computer and crafting, which I have really missed these past few months. I am scheduled to have my left hand done (carpal tunnel and deQuervain's tendinitis) on the 31st of July but it really shouldn't be too bad as I know what to expect this time.

I have some stuff to post and will get to it later tonight. I have a leg of lamb in the oven that is in need of attention.

One Down, One to Go!

Hello Everyone!
My right hand is out of its cast and I am typing without too much discomfort! Surgery and recover went well and now onto a month of therapy to build the strength in my right hand. I am scheduled to have my left hand done the last day of July. So for now, it is full steam ahead for crafting!
