HO HO HO

Sorry it has been a while since I have posted anything, but we had family for thanksgiving and then getting ready for Christmas crafting has been alittle on the back burner.  While it is still my passion other things just took priority as I'm sure most of you understand. 

I have made a few of these scarfs for people they are so super easy and can  be done with any color fleece. I started the one on the left for my granddaughter I used 2 layers for hers and they are 4 inches wide.  Take your 2 layers and sew down the middle, then take a peice of painters tape and tape down the center over your seam, then cut every inch up to the tape do not cut tape.  Shake scarfs and twirl this will fluff them up some.  The one on the right was done with 3 pieces of fleece and same thing, I made this one 6 inches wide.  Hope they like them.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and hope that santa is extremely good to you.  See you in the new year as I will be spending christmas with family.  Merry CHristmas and a Happy New Year.

Bracelets for Medical Alert

This is what I have been doing this afternoon.  AS I now wear a medical alert braclet and if you have looked at the ones they offer you will realize just how ugly they are.  Guess they figure if you need a bracelet then you can't be fashionable.  Well they are just so wrong every girl know you  have to be in fashion and you need one to match all outfits just like your other jewlery and earrings.  The bottom one is one I purchased from a company called http://www.laurenshope.com/category/87/medical-alert-jewelry-medical-id-bracelets-for-women, she has some gorgeous braclets from kids right on up to adult in men and womens.  But I can't justifiy spending that much on all my bracelets so I used some beads that I had stuck in a container waiting for the right project to come along, I think I found just that project. So I made the top 2 this afternoon,  Now I can be fashionable  and have something pretty to look at also.  Will definitely have to buy more beads now.  Guess that means another shopping trip soon.

Getting ready for christmas

This was a wreath I made today.  Using the deco mesh these are so super easy to make  and quick, you can make them as elaborate as you want or as simple as you want. 

Here is what happened over the weekend, as we are gonna be doing some work to our house soon we had to get rid of this tree.  It looks so different now.

2 hours from start to finish and yard cleaned up.  Hate to loose the shade but sometimes there has to be a sacrifice.

Christmas Woodlands

These were some cards I made over the last few days.  The one on the left was stamped with a hero arts stamp called pinecone wreath, added some little bling and poped it up on card.  The 2nd card was done with a stamp from Northwood Rubber stamps cardinals in Pine tree.  This was a fun stamp to use as I used several different things on this stamp from liquid applique, stickles and the colored some in with pencils.  My favorite was the stickles.  Thanks for stopping by.

Witchy Woman

Raven hair, and Ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless, spirit in an endless flight.

Ooh-hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Ooh-hoo, witchy woman
Shes got the moon in her eyes.

Now that the song witchy woman(from the Eagles) is stuck in your head for the rest of the day these are her new shoes she will be trying out on halloween night.  Better leave some nice comments or she might fly fly and leave some nasty tricks for you on halloween.  Thanks for stopping in.  Happy Halloween

Christmas Spirit

Here are a few things that I've been working on over the last week and at the weekend crop.  The first card is a gatefold card that my friend Lorraine showed me how to do and thanks to her having something that matched my paper she let me have her colored stamp image to finish off my card. Isn't it great when you have friend to crop with and they let you have what you need to finish that certain image that you want.

The next card was done as a make and take at the crop using the Art Philosophy cart for the snowflake and a snowflake saying from one of the current stamps sets from Close to My Heart. It was inked in chocolate brown.

The next one was a card I made using one of the angel company stamps, and a CTMH stamp set for the wording.  I can see this window opening being used for others, sorry to see The Angel company leave us as they had some real cute stamps.

The next one was done using Doodle charms for the snow globe and a Stampin Up set called Warmest of Wishes(Hostess) and some of the cards from Michaels that have the pre-printed fronts.

Well thanks for stopping by hope you enjoyed.  Leave alittle love if you liked my cards.  Thanks see ya next time.

Scrapbook Easel

This is my newest toy and let me tell you I'm loving it.  The Scrapbook Easel makes things more comfortable when you are scrapping, and the magnets hold things into place so you can move them around on your board, it also helps you from loosing pieces and after last weekends crop and cutting several of the same little tiny piece I might have found the answer to my prayers.  LOL  Takes the pressure off your neck from long crops and it has a magnetic ruler for lining things up.  SO while trying this out and rearrangeing some things in my room I found some page kits that I have had for several years and had not put them together yet this one is from the Time Flies page kits. 

I also managed to make a few cards today getting in the mood for some cooler weather and getting in that christmas spirit.  Not your traditional colors.

Oh No! Not Gingerbread time

I can not take credit for this card however I did see it in the new cricut Holiday book and thought it was so adorable. On page 37 card was inspired by Michelle Criswell at scrappingwithmybug.com.  Hope she doesn't mind but this just made me laugh when I saw it so here is my version of this card.  I used Jolly Holidays, and some stampin up punches along with the sentiment from the SU set embrace life, card background was out of a predesigned set from Michaels, quick and easy card to put to gether. 

Lattice Card

I decided to make a lattice card. I had seen a tutorial over on youtube by vadeler on doing lattice cards with spellbinder dies.  I used elegant edges for the center cutout on the front of the card, along with Stampin Up  bird punch , some quilling papers as they are the perfect size for weaving. And the Happy Birthday image is from a CTMH stamp.  I really like the look of these cards.  Thanks for looking.

Accordian card

This was a card that I saw done on the cricut board, there is a tutorial done over at http://shesasassylady.blogspot.com/  So Ithought I would try one, however my first one didn't turn out right so we started over.  I tried alittle somethiing different with mine since the ovening was gonna be small I used the Tim Holz flower die and cut 3 strips out.  I trimmed one of the strips by taking off the scallopped edge , I then taped all three peices together and folded since it already had the crease line in it.  Used my gypsy to cut out the shape on the front of card put the accordian behind that and added to the front of a card, added some ribbon and flowers.  On the inside I stamped Happy Birthday.
