Sparkly Merry Christmas!

I've had this ornament designed for a couple of years now and never got around to cutting it out. I originally designed it in the Cricut Design Studio and later converted the file for my wonderful Gypsy. It is very simple but I love how it turned out. I used Core'dinations Couture Cardstock and it is GORGEOUS. Unfortunately the photos do not do this paper justice. Anyway, here is my card.

I also wanted to remind everyone about the Holly Jolly 2 day Blog Hop. I am so excited this is my first time participating in a blog hop and I hope you will join us. It starts of Friday, December 10th, 2010 at 7:30 PM EST.

Items Used:

Christmas Cheer

Mickey and Friends

Gypsy

Core'dinations Couture Cardstock

PKS Challenge 35 - I Love CANDY!

I was a little stumped on what to do for this challenge. The colors are not ones that I would normally use together. An idea came to mind of doing some bright colored candy and candy boxes (I turned the sketch around at a 90 degree angle).



Here is the sketch and below that are the colors we were supposed to use.

I used Peachy Keen Stamps Simple Sallies for the face. I used Christmas Cheer for the candy, George for the candy boxes, and From My Kitchen for the 'candy' and 'sweets' labels.

I hope you are having a SWEET day!

Christmas is Coming...

I saw the saying "Merry Christ-mouse" and an idea came to mind. I had to get it designed and put together. It was fun. I hope you like it (even if Christmas is over 4 1/2 months away :)). It never hurts to get a head start on Christmas cards right? I might actually get some sent out this year if I start making them now.

I saw the saying Merry Christ-mouse in a line of stamps by Sarah Pink Cricut. The mouse is from Animal Kingdom, the santa hat is from Paperdoll Dress-Up, the scarf is from Everyday Paper Dolls, and the candy cane is from Christmas Cheer. The face is stamped on with Peachy Keen Stamps - they have the BEST stamps EVER. They just make everything so much cuter! I cut the Santa hat 3 times and cut the pieces apart so I could fun flock and layer the pieces, I also used fun flock for the scarf. This card was lots of fun to make.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 15

For this Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge we were supposed to use the following sketch.

This is my card. I used some of my scrap paper, my ribbon stash, my Cricut Christmas Cheer Cartridge (for the wreath) and some red rhinestones.
