Magical Season

I am trying to clean/organize my craft room.  It means getting rid of lots of wonderful, hoarded items!
So, I am using a few before they go away...This card was made with retired CTMH Aspen papers and stickers.  I have used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday #237, which I rotated.

Warm Wishes - Tag!! You're It

A few more of last Saturday's cards.  All Close To My Heart product except for the Baker's twine and Liquid Pearls.  It's a shame the color is not right on the bottom card. The banners are actually lovely silvery blue papers from the Frosted pack. 
The top card I have posted on the Cards In Envy blog for their "Tag! You're It" challenge - card with a tag on it.  Lots of inspiration on their blog this week.

Christmas Cards!

Yesterday there were 100 cards made. The ladies were busy and we had a lot of fun - salad, Panini, cookies, sparkling cider, and lots of ink and bling!
These are the cards made from CTMH Sparkle and Shine papers.  I used Pam Wallace's fabulous cutting guide to create 24 cards from three double sided 12X12" sheets.  No scraps left behind - it's amazing.  Ever since I cased her "Chocolate Affair" set, I have used this great cutting guide. 
The top card was inspired by Vicki W. and is my favorite of the bunch.  There are a few others we made that I still need to photograph.

Working on a list of things for our scholarship silent auction this week. These Christmas tags will accompany a collection of baking items. Having fun using up some stash chip board and paper.

Thanksgiving Banner

This was easy and fun to make...a bit tricky to hang because it was long and heavy.  It looks marvelous though hanging from the plate rail.  It will be such a fun day tomorrow with my family!

Wishing my blog friends a day of blessings.

Christmas Bells

CAS-ology theme this week is bells.  I finally did find a bell stamp and a few moments to make a card. 
Shimmer gold and white card stock, gold jewelry twine, Liquid Pearls, and several sets of Close To My Heart stamps for wreath, bells, and sentiment.  I embossed the bell image in gold, and then punched it out with a 3/4" circle punch.

Welcome Baby!

This card uses a Make It From Your Heart, vol. 1 #22 sketch, and the new Close To My Heart Babycakes papers along with an embellishment in my stash for a few years, Papertrey sentiment, and Fiskars cloud punches.    Welcome to a new sweet little cousin for my grandsons!  He was born last weekend.
