CR84FN #69

| Published 12.30.2012


Welcome to a new CR84FN color challenge! It's a good 'un!

But before we move on to the gorgeous graphic, we have a new guest designer for the month of January! Please give a hearty CR84FN welcome to Lisa Snowdy!!! Welcome Lisa - we are so excited that you are joining us for the month!


Because there's a brand new year almost upon us, I wanted to make an exuberant card. Of course, it's CAS but hopefully joyful nonetheless :)



I used a brand new Christmas present to make the drops...my new Silhouette Cameo! I used to own a Cricut, but this machine is much better so far. The biggest plus...no cartridges! I can't wait to have some more fun with it. 

After I cut the drops, I embossed them with a damask Cuttlebug folder for a little texture then I affixed them to the base. Add a sentiment, et voila!

Just Us Girls #168

| Published 12.22.2012



Hello there out in blogland! Happy holidays folks! 

Back again with another fabulous Just Us Girls challenge! This time around, Vicki is our hostess and she has chosen a fabulous photo inspiration to challenge you.

Here's my take...


I wanted to create the look of fireworks so I used Dot Spots from Papertrey ink to make rudimentary fireworks. Make sure to swing by the Just Us Girls blog and check out what the other fabulous ladies have whipped up! Their links are in my sidebar too.

I've been swamped the past few weeks. But it's been a good kind of busy :) My in-laws are in town for the holidays and I'm driving three hours to pick my parents up for Christmas tomorrow. It'll be a full, happy house here over Christmas...and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Speaking of family and full houses, my hubby and I have added to ours... this handsome fellow, Parker, joined our ranks this week. It was a sudden adoption but he's already made his mark. He's so energetic and sweet!!! We're smitten.


He's having sometime downtime for a few more days as he recently had his "jingle bells" removed :)



Clearly he's stressed in his new home - what a ham!

Many happy wishes from my home to yours this Christmas!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just Us Girls #165

I just love this time of year. Christmas music, (mostly) happy folks, family, tradition...yes, it's fair to say I always will love Christmas.

Welcome back for a brand new Just Us Girls Challenge. I'm the hostess this week and I came up with this little sketch;


I didn't stamp a single thing this time - all die cuts and paper. No ink at all.


Hope you like my holiday card. Make sure to swing by the Just Us Girls blog and check out what the other fabulous ladies have whipped up! Their links are in my sidebar too.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
