It's the Holiday Season

I really wish that I had more time to enjoy myself this holiday season. Suddenly we are 4 days from Christmas and I am barely getting my cards done! I blame it on the flu which hit me pretty bad late last week, but I think I always feel pressed for time around this time of year. So below are just some of my card creations. I would explain them better if I didn't have a million things to do. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday filled with joy and togetherness with the ones you love!
 This one is for my BFF I wish I could be closer to her so that we could share the holidays like we used to. I used Joys of the Season cartridge to create the card.
 I love the idea of a Santa card that was simple and yet cute. I took a piece of velvet ribbon and added the buckle embellishment.
I had tried to make this card interesting. I think Gingy, looks like he is pretty happy. I added some glitter to make him more festive.
 I still love those foam snowflake stickers. Too bad I used the last of them on this card. I went for simple elegance, did I succeed?
 I loved making the joy ornament on my Cricut, too bad I made it too large to use on the original card plan I created. So I decided to be whimsical instead. I used a brad to embellish the bow and I just loved this ribbon!

Mojo Monday 246

I am at it yet again and trying to create another project to post for this weeks sketch contest over at MojoMonday I was a pretty inspired this week and I hope you like the results.                                                                                                      I was thinking about upcoming birthdays and my lack of cards that could work for either boys or girls. I wanted it to be fun and different so I set out to use my trusty Cricut. I decided I wanted to make something with animals and I wasn't sure what. I started by selecting my Create a Critter cartridge. I selected a koala, giraffe, zebra and monkey. I had to laugh at the scale of my animals the giraffe was super miniature but still cute, maybe it is a pygmy giraffe, those exist, right? I found and Animal Kingdom paper stack and decided to use the vines piece for the monkey. I used a ribbon of vines, which I had from a previous project, now I think I want to make a c

May Birthday Cards

It seems like every month I look at my calender and see another birthday coming up. This post is going to showcase the cards that I made for a  few of my girls. Hope you enjoy them. I really love the Cricut cartridge's Once Upon a Princess and Sweet Treats. I utilized both of these in my cards. I was surprised at what I made. The first card is for my niece who really is my little princess. She is turning six. She likes to see herself in any card that I make for her no matter what it's for. So I decided that I would try to make her a princess and I cut all the pieces for her out and realized that the sizing of the paper dolls don't really mat up to the separate pieces! I had to manipulate them a bit to get them all to fit together cohesively. At that point she was complete but I thought she needed something more to fill in the card. She has two older brothers and I thought it would be cute to incorporate them into the card as well so I made the little frog princes. Now

Mojo Monday 432

Another Post? Already? I must be getting super efficient! So I decided to do the Mojo Monday design challenge using a mix of both my new and old stuff and techniques. This is the design for this week. I decided not to do a square card, only because I wanted to try making in in the size I am most familiar with. So, let me know what you think! I used my Honey Comb Happiness stamp set that I got from Stampin' Up. I used some of my scrap paper from my box and only used whisper white to stamp the sentiment and images. I used a surprise...embossing folder! Its from Sizzix and it's called Daisy Blast. I used a glitter card from a DCWV box that I had. I embellished it with some pearls I got at the craft store. Hope everyone is having a great day! Jessica
