Card Patterns - Another Birthday, Another Challenge

Birthdays in our family happen mostly towards the end of the year and for this card I am using a sketch from a challenge at Card Patterns.  The cardstock is all DCWV and the stamps are CTMH!  happy scrapping...

Mojo Monday

This card is my first based on a sketch from Mojo Monday - the base is cut from A Child's Year, bracket from Gypsy Wandering and other cuts from Forever Young.  Papers are from DCWV Far East and ribbon is CTMH.  What a great idea to get a card going although I didn't follow the sketch verbatim but I guess that's what it's all about - getting your mojo going!!  happy scrapping...

Greeting Gift Card Holder

Well I am on a roll for sure!!  I have spent the day creating Greeting Gift Card Holders for a craft fair I am doing with a friend in November.  The idea for this came from Angie at My Chic'n Scratch and I made some minor modifications and created a DS file to do all the cutting which was a first for me!!  I used a belly band instead of a ribbon to make them more unisex and user friendly to those who do not like to tie bows...
If you would like a copy of my DS file, please leave a comment and I will forward.  happy scrapping!!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

My family and I celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday - I had to work all day and so my middle son offered to cook dinner - can you imagine that!!  I came home to family (except my youngest who lives too far away) and a lovely meal - life doesn't get much better.  I am very thankful for the little things...   This is the first card I have made using cuts with my cricut and I am pleased with how it turned out... happy scrapping!

Birthday Card

I did up this birthday card for someone special...  It is always harder to make masculine cards - I guess because you don't want to add flowers or all those other seemingly feminine embellishments.   Perhaps I'll make it a project to make one using flowers etc.  happy scrapping!

Creations with Christina: World Card Making Day Challenge #1

What better way to re-enter the world of blogging than on World Card Making Day (somewhere it still is  lol) and with a challenge!  Thank you Christina for the inspiration!  I am off tomorrow to help my girlfriend move into new digs and this card will be perfect although the colour is not quite right - should be all soft pinks - definitely need a new camera... happy scrapping!
