Thanksgiving Thanks!

Over at the Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog, the theme this week is Thanksgiving. As I don't have a turkey image from Doodle Dragon (it's on its way!) I went for a harvest-y feel. For me Thanksgiving is all about being thankful for the people in your life and the blessings around you. So here is a little creation I made to use as a Thanksgiving Thank You card. I used a Dustin Pike image and colored him with pencils. I distressed all the edges (even the mat circle!) and used Vintage Photo Ink to ink them all (including the white inner circle). I used the same ink to stamp the thank you sentiment. Topped this cutie off with some neutral flowers and a twine bow!

Thank You Turkey Card!

I hope you all had a great weekend! I created this cute little turkey card today. I used some nice vintage papers and my cricut with the Create A Critter cart. I inked the edges of everything in Vintage Photo Ink and created the little Thank You sentiment on the computer.

Quick and Easy Christmas Card!

One more Quick and Easy Christmas Card for you tonight! This image is from Dustin Pike. I colored him in using watercolor pencils and matted him with a metallicy green paper. I doodled around the white edge with red for a finished touch. I used my Sizzix Texture Boutique and the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder on the white cardstock. Added the red ribbon and adhered the image. DONE! Again, SO easy!

"S" is for Snowman Card!

Here's another Quick and Easy Christmas Card I whipped up tonight. I used the Cricut and Stretch Your Imagination cart to create the circle frame and Doodlecharms to make the snowman. I cut the frame at 5inches and adhered it to a 5x5 white card. I cut the snowman at 2inches twice, once using the blackout feature and once using the regular cut. I colored his nose orange (instead of cutting the snowman again in orange...trying to save paper! lol) and traced around his outer edge with Diamond Dust Stickles. I added the Merry Christmas tag and DONE! Super easy!

I've Been Framed Christmas Card!

Good evening! I'm still not used to this time change. It feels like it should be so much later in the day! Anyway, I've created a few things for your viewing pleasure today. The first was inspired by Digital Tuesdays Challenge called "I've been Framed". This challenge blog always requires a digital image and whatever the weekly challenge may be. I chose to use this cutie patootie image from the wonderful Dustin Pike. This card was so super easy to do and the challenge over at Polka Doodles this week happens to be "Quick and Easy Christmas".

Wanna know how easy?

Ok, so I cut the circle frame using the Cricut and the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge at 5inches. I adhered it to a 5x5 red card, colored my image and adhered it and the sentiment tag to the card. Done! SO EASY!

You Turkey!

This first cute turkey card was inspired by the Bitten By The Bug2 "Flourish" Challenge. I used the flourish from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge, the Turkey from Create A Critter and the sentiment from Tear Drop. I distressed the edges of the background paper and inked all the pieces with Vintage Photo Distressing Ink. The Flourish was cut at 4 inches and the turkey was cut at 2 inches. I'm submitting this "Thanks so Much" 5x5 card for the Fantabulous Cricut "Bird Bonanza" Challenge.

I was smitten with this little Turkey I decided to make a shaped card of him too! He was cut at 5 inches. Isn't he so cute??

Well, Hello There!

Wow! How have you all been? I can't believe I haven't posted anything since July! I haven't been all that busy but I guess my creative mojo hasn't been flowing the last few months. So! Hopefully, I'll be getting back into the swing of things, atleast a little bit! :)

I'd like to share a cute birthday card I made for my sister who LOVES Koala Bears. I used the Create A Critter cartridge and my Cricut machine to create this cute little lovey. I cut the Koala using the shadow feature twice. Adhered them together and then cut the layers (light gray and dark gray). I used pop dots to add dimension between layers. I cut the heart balloon from the same cartridge and used a rub on to add the sentiment. Finishing touches include the pink rhinestones on the heart balloon and the purple bow in the Koala's ear. SO easy and SO cute!
