Christmas Joy

Hello! I haven't posted in so long, but that isn't because I haven't been busy! I have made SO many Christmas cards lately, and still have a few more to finish after I post this really quick! We got a new camera on black Friday and I finally used it to take a couple pics of some cards yesterday. DH had been the only one to play with it before! I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch 97, although I did change it up a bit... The Taylored Expressions stamp "joy" is embossed with SU powder, I've had that stuff forever and have used it on practically every Christmas card I've made, and it still doesn't look like I made a dent in it. The paper is CTMH Aspen- I am so happy to be almost out of that paper. I love it but I swear I've used it the past 3 years and am finally ready to be done with it. I'm trying REALLY hard to use up what I have before buying more pretty papers! Thank you for taking a look : )

Birthday Wishes

This is my grandma's birthday card. Even though it is so simple, I LOVE this card! I used Stamp TV Thursday Sketch. You can't see it in the picture, but the paper has glitter and is SO pretty! Thanks for looking!

Blast from the Past

Hello! Today I am a part of the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past blog hop! I have loved the Taylored Expressions stamps for awhile now, especially the Christmas stamps. Plus, now that Taylor's an Iowa girl too, gotta show her some love : ) I started with the sketch given, but it ended up very different! I used the Wings of Joy stamp set- it's so cute. I had an awful day at work yesterday and as I was putting the finishing touches on my card, it cheered me up. May you all find joy all around you this Christmas! Thanks for looking!

Here's the rest of the blog hop, Michelle Single is up next! I'm sure everyone will have great projects to show- I can't wait to look through them all today on my lunch break!

Give Thanks

This is another one of the cards I am making for a set of Autumn cards. I had some stamping time for myself this weekend (yay) and was able to get some cards made. This one came together quickly, and I really like the result! I used the Stamp TV sketch #39. Caleb helped me with the details. He hasn't really wanted to craft with me lately, but I've been sick since last Thursday and he's made me a card each morning! I'm a lucky momma! This is also my submission for Totally Stampalicious: So Totally Thankful. I'm thankful for my family and friends, our house, my ability to craft and share, and of course, my Savior and all his blessings. Thanks for taking a look!

Spooky Birthday

Hello! I found a digital stamp company from the Copic Creations blog, Tiddly Inks. I fell in love with one of their images in particular, Spooky Birthday, and thought, if only I knew someone who's birthday was in October, I would totally use that image. Luckily my mom reminded me that my sister's boyfriend, Rob, who is like a brother, has a birthday Oct 29th.... yay! So I placed my second order of the day : ) I had to color her right away, using my sister as inspiration! I really love how the card turned out. I used Taylored Expressions Sketch #130.
