Stencil Cards

Hi there!
I received a blog post from Lisa's blog and just had to share her great idea!  First- I just love the simple lines and clean look of these cards!  They are just GORGEOUS.  Second- how easy can it get?!  I just love when things can be done quickly and still look fabulous!  Third- I can not get enough of my CTMH Cricut cartridge.  And what a great use for my scraps!

This idea could be used for so much more than Christmas Cards. You could make any kind of card with this technique, but also you could use this to on your scrapbooking layouts as well!

To check out Lisa's blog post, click here.  I think I have sent you to her before as she is one amazingly creative lady!

I hope you can find some time during this busy season to try out these ideas or some other ones!  And if you do, be sure to share! I've love to see what you are creating!

Until next time, Happy Scrappin'!

Ripped Marble Technique

Hi there!
I saw this technique on a blog and just had to share!  I've never seen it before and what a neat look it makes! 

This blog is also one you want to follow if you don't already.  It's the Card a Day blog.  Many different people contribute to the posts so it's a great way to see blog posts and creations from many different people.  Unfortunately for me, it means my list of those I follow via email gets longer and longer... I can't keep up!!  But there are SO many talented people out there!

Anyway- click here to see this technique.  Also if you like tutorials, go to www.paperthreads.com (which is the author for the post) and you will find many great videos.

Enjoy!  Be sure to send me pictures if you try this out! I'd love to see it!
Until next time... Happy Scrappin'!

Holiday Tags- easy breazy!!

Hi everyone!
Go to this blog  here to see a video about using the Cricut and our Art Philosophy cartridge to make quick and easy gift tags.  If you have a Cricut, you need to have this cartridge!  There are so many great card bases, cards and other shapes.

Remember if you want to place an order for Christmas it needs to be to me by today!
Thanks!  Happy Scrappin'!

Dear Santa...

Wishing you could get what you REALLY want this Christmas- some scrapbooking or card making supplies?!  I’d be happy to work with the “Santa’s” in your life to put an order together or a Gift Certificate so you can go shopping yourself. 

Please see the letter below (which includes a little poem I wrote for the occasion J) and give a copy to your Santa and have them contact me.  (please note- I got this idea from Angie on her blog here.)  Orders need to be placed by Dec 5^th in order to be here by Christmas but I can do a Gift Certificate at any time!

Feel free to pass this along to other friends or family who may want items for Christmas.  Better yet, put all the orders under your name to increase the amount of rewards you will receive!  After all, more stuff for FREE always brings added cheer!

A safe and Merry Christmas to you and your family this holiday season!  And of course, Happy Scrappin'!
