Day Four of Christmas Projects - Santa face

This Santa cut file was shared on Facebook last winter. I snagged it right away and saved it for cards this year. The designer created a perfect file that any Explore owner can cut. The entire thing is created from circles and squares. Isn't he cute? I jazzed him up with dimensionals, glitter and buttons.

Day Three of Christmas Projects - Snowglobe Shaker Card

I must confess I bought this plastic crafting element about 7 years ago. Talk about using up my stash of supplies! Now I wish I had more because I love how this turned out! This will made a great hand-delivered card for a neighbour.

The snowflake confetti is from Dollartree.

Day Two of Christmas Projects - Bird Shadowbox card

I just love creating cards with some dimension! This card folds flat to mail and then pops out when you take it out of the envelope. I created the cut file using my Design Space and my Cricut Explore.

Here is my Design Space cut file.

Day One of Christmas Projects - Bitmoji card

Welcome to the 2017 Christmas season!

Today is my first day of twelve to feature a Christmas project! Woohoo! My project today is created using the Bitmoji App. I kept seeing beautiful ornaments posted on Facebook using this app, Design Space and vinyl. I thought, hey, that would make a cute, personable family card.

Twelve Days of Christmas Projects 2016

Happy Black Friday! Happy Day after Thanksgiving for my American friends! Starting on Monday, I will be featuring a new Christmas project for 12 weekdays! I love doing this! I feel it helps to put me in a holiday mood to make cards and such for friends, colleagues and family. I tend to make approximately 60 cards each December so I feel the need to make at least a few different designs.

Here is a recap of last year's (2016) projects.

See you all back here on Monday!

Honeycomb cards

Hello! I am back to blogging and crafting after a wonderful summer with the kids! Yay!

Last week, while perusing the IKEA clearance section, I found a pack of honeycombs. They were being cleared out at $1.99 Canadian. I picked up a pack of eight thinking I must be able to use them somehow...

Hee hee... My photo is upside down.





So, I have already gone back and bought more as well as some rosettes.

Two more Canada Day layouts!

I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating Canada's 150th birthday! I hope you took lots of photos because I have two more ideas for how to scrapbook your memories.

This image is the logo for Canada Day 2017. I found the cut file for free on the Government of Canada website. Here is the link. I changed it up a bit by using patterned paper scraps.

Yesterday, these two (!!) layouts were featured on the Scrapbook & cards today blog as part of their celebration of Canada. I was thrilled to have my work featured. My kids were thrilled that our dog Chloe's picture was featured...

Here is the link to the blog post of Canada Day projects, including mine.
