Bonus pic-

These are some one sheet wonder cards that I made to send Ayla's school pictures in. I'll find the link for the one sheet wonder tomorrow, too tired tonight. The stamp is some flower wheel that I got with my first demo order.

The top layer I used the Cuttlebug and a birthday embossing folder. I did the bottom pic so you can see why it's called a kickstand. I also used the Cuttlebug to do the buckle diecut on the inside piece. Have I mentioned how much I love this thing?

Cuttlebug! and Cropadile!

Ok, those darn enablers at Splitcoast made me want a Cropadile and a Cuttlebug... so I bought them yesterday. The Cropadile is a hole punch and eyelet setter all together, no more pounding the eyelets. With the Cuttlebug you can emboss paper or do diecuts. I've been loving all the embossed layers I've been seeing on cards lately. Since Valentines is around the corner I bought a heart embossing folder and heart diecuts. I practiced with some scraps and then decided to make some cards with the scraps here they are.

Card stock is Whisper White, Real Red and Pixie Pink. Stamp set is Olive You and stamped with Real Red ink.

Card Sketch/Color Combo #1

I needed a birthday card for my Grandma's birthdy this week. I'm going to try and make cards once a week, using the card sketch and color combo challenges from Splitcoast. This week's color combo was Certainly Celery, Taken with Teal and Real Red. Here's the card sketch.

And here's what I created.

Stamps used-

• It's Your Birthday
• Birthday Best
• Send a Celebration
• Mini Mates

Since one full sheet of card stock makes two cards, I made two. This should help me build up my card reserves.

Genie Bags

I made some genie giftbags this weekend to put the balls, calendars and what not in.

The big piece of cardstock is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", the white piece is 3" x 3". I used scraps from the accent color to place behind the white piece. The back of the bag, I just used a snowflake stamp and my versamark ink pad and then sprinkled dazzling diamonds to make them glittery. I also used dazzling diamonds on the white parts of the snowman. The brown bag is just a lunch bag cut in half. I used a glue stick to stick the cardstock to the bag.

After I fill the bags with tissue paper and goodies, I'll attach a ribbon for a handle.

Harley Gift Set

I made these with leftover Harley stuff from a scrap book kit bought at Hobby Lobby. I bought the kit a couple of years ago and made a picture page and framed it for my Dad for his birthday. I used pictures of me, Ayla and my sister on my Dad's Harley with him. I'm glad I kept the leftovers. These turned out very nice; the gifts are a can of cashews, calendar and ornament.

60 Cards from Simply Scrappin Kits

This year's set of cards was created with the Out & About Simply Scrappin Kit. Template for the 60 cards is from Splitcoast.







This is last years. I don't remember the name of the set I used. The set is In Full Bloom, thanks Kim!
