Happy Holidays Snowman Card

Good morning!  Here is another card I created in quantities a few days ago for some gifties.  I am also submitting it for a challenge over at A Crafty Little Place.  The challenge was to make a Tag or anything with a Tag on it.  I call this a "Tag Card."  As you can tell, I love the simple things... but yet added with a little dimension. 

Recipe:

Cardstock:  SU Kraft and Real Red

DSP:  Snowbuddies from Reminisce

Stamps:  SU Punch Pals and Snowfall

Embellishments:  Real red grossgrain ribbon, basic white eyelets and Twine (All Stampin' Up)

Have a good Saturday!! 

Tis' The Season Card - Mojo Monday 169

Fa la la la la... Hello everyone.  I have been busy making some Holiday cards for little gifts here and there.  Most recently for my kid's Teachers.  This is a card that I came up with following the Mojo Monday 169 sketch.  I completed 6 of these.  I used more non-traditional Christmas colors.  Pretty simple, once I decided on paper etc...

Recipe:
Cardstock:  Basic Gray, Concord Crush, Real Red & Whisper White.  All SU.
Stamps:  Punch Pals, Short & Sweet
DSP:  Snowbuddies from Reminisce
Embellishments:  Button from Martha Stewart line, 5/8" SU Real Red gross grain ribbon, SU Silver cord, SU 2 3/8" scallop circle punch.

Thanks for looking.  Opinions very welcome.
I'll have another post for tomorrow.

Tags, tags and more Holiday Tags

Hello...I've been making Christmas Tags for my daughter's Teacher to put on her gifts for her students.  Super easy tags to make.  Absolutely no skill needed other than knowing which button on the Cricut to push and how to apply adhesive evenly.  I figure if I can't get my own crafting projects done, I might as well post what has been filling up some of my time. 
Not to mention that the CRUD ran rapid through our house this week.  Not fun.  So here is to almost done with a "Fly by" week and on to the next with some more creative things to accomplish.  Hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday bedazzle.

Supplies:  Seasonal Gingerbread Cricut Cart, Real Red and Whisper White cardstock, "To and From" sentiment from "Punch Pals" and 3/8" Red grossgrain ribbon.

Feeling Down? - TPE Card Challenge 88

Could you use "A little Pick Up?"  I could use a little PERK up... stayed up way too late last night and of course the kids woke up way too early.  Oh well.  Coffee in hand will do the trick.  I was in need of a "Thinking of You" type card that was more on the masculine/unisex side.  Thought this little truck would do the trick.  Stuck with some semi-Holiday colors.  I am also entering this into the Card Sketch Challenge over at The Pink Elephant TPE # 88. 
Thanks for checking it out.  I am on a crafty roll.

All products used are Stampin' Up.
Stamps:  Loads of Love
Cardstock/Ink:  Sage Shadow, True Thyme, Real Red, Winter Green DSP

Halloween Lunch Surprise

Happy Friday & almost Halloween!!  My daughter had her class party today.  She was very excited to dress up and see all of her friends.  I usually try to help out at her parties... but today provided a conflict... so I made her a little Halloween card with some Reeses peanut butter cups inside to stick in her lunch as a surprise and sort of a "Sorry I couldn't be there today." 
Here is the card I made (at midnight last night.)  Sort of appropriate that the Night Sky was on my mind.
Very easy card to make.  I needed it to be quick.
I am entering it into the Halloween Challenge # 22 over at http://paperplaytime.blogspot.com/2010/10/challenge-22-halloween.html

Paper:  All Stampin' Up Cardstock.  Would like to highlight that the background or "Night Sky" is Concord Crush.  This is one of the new IN colors that I absolutely love.
Stamps:  Grateful Greetings from SU.
Circle Punches from SU used for pumpkins and moon.  I hand drew the moon face.  Hand cut the stems, leaves and grassy hills.

Veggie Garden Scrap Layout

This is a scrapbook layout of my Husband's vegetable garden that he planted this summer.  It was his first stab at a new hobby... and it turned out great.  It was fun to be able to just go to our backyard and pick whatever we needed for our meal that night.  The kids enjoyed seeing everything get bigger as the days went by.  It also helped get them interested in eating a few of these creations.  :-)
I am entering this to a challenge over on Paula's blog... "More than Favors"... as she challenged us to do a FRUIT or VEGGIE project. 
"Perfect" I said. 

I used all Stampin' Up Cardstock and Cricut Cartridges "Freshly Picked" "My Community" (for the grass) and "Walk in my Garden."

I designed the planting box myself. (hand cut)
