A little more feltie goodness...

Hi everyone!

Just a quick post...I hope you are all enjoying your holidays!! Christmas was a lot of fun...Santa was very generous this year but I am looking forward to a quiet three-day weekend. We have no big plans for the New Year's weekend...hubby has to work, our oldest went back to college this morning so it will be just me and my Kassi girl. We plan to relax, maybe take in a movie...and I plan to do crafty things, of course. :) I am getting ready to update and reorganize some of my supplies and I am planning on sharing what I come up with...need to start the new year off right!

So after my oldest took off this moring (& I got home from work) I cleaned up my craft room (where the kiddo was staying) and decided I needed a crafty fix. So I got out some of the goodies Kat sent me and came up with a couple of quick cards.

I have posted a video on my Youtube channel which you can find here. Please check out it to see the cards I created today.

All of Kat's felt goodies can be found at her etsy store, Kat Scrappiness here.

As always...thanks for stopping by!

More Kat Scrappiness Goodness!!

Happy Holidays!

I just couldn't resist taking a break from all the holidays "stuff" - baking, wrapping, etc. - to make a couple more cards using some of Kat's adorable felties. I am (thankfully) done with all my Christmas cards (& they are in the mail!!!) but I wanted to get a few cards ready for after the holidays.

Here are a couple that I came up with pretty quickly today:

Those adorable little felt snowflakes can be found here at Kat's etsy store. The pattern paper, cardstock, buttons and twine are all from Papertrey Ink. The sentiment stamp is from WPlus9 and the punch is from EK success.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday...as always thanks for stopping by!

A Trio of Trees...Christmas trees that is...

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. I still have a couple of presents to buy and ALL of them to wrap but I am almost done. And this weekend is our baking weekend. I usually make several different types of cookies and candies but this year I am keeping it simple. We picked three of our favorites and we are going to make BIG batches of them. Can't wait...what are your holiday favorites?

I have news...happy news...I was chosen to be a member of the first design team for Kat Scrappiness!! Kat has an Etsy store (which you can find here) and she makes adorable felt embellishments. I have three new cards to share with you using them.

The third card you can see on my Youtube video (along with these two) here. The video also shows all the goodies from my first design team package. Kat allowed all of us to choose what we wanted for our first design team package. It was so fun to go to her store and choose the felt goodies we wanted!!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Felt Embellishments

Hi everyone! I actually managed to get a couple of cards done...well more than a couple but I can't show some them to you because they are for upcoming birthdays. :) (I will post them later.) I recently got some really adorable felt embellishments from on etsy seller (http://www.KatScrappiness.com) and I had to put them to use.

Here is the first one I made:

This is actually a birthday card for my mother...she never uses a computer so I think it's safe to show you this one. The cardstock (Sweet Blush) and stamps (Button Boutique) are both from Papertrey Ink. The brown piece behind the button card is actually glossy paper covered with distress inks (Antique Linen and Frayed Linen). I used the technique I showed here in this video. Here is a close up of that cute little felt flower.

Super sweet, right?

Here's the second card I made using some of the felt goodies:

The snowflake is HUGE!! That card is 5" x 5". You can't really tell but the white felt has little flecks of glitter in it...so pretty. I have an additional card in mind for another one of these snowflake then I think the rest will be saved for layouts. The patterned paper is Bo Bunny and the cardstock is from Papertrey Ink. The stamps (sentiment and snowflake) are from WPlus9. You will probably be seeing more of these stamps as they may be my new addiction...they are soooo adorable.

Please let me know if you have any questions and as always...thanks for stopping by!

Sweet 16!

Today is my baby girl's birthday and she is 16! We celebrated on Saturday and I wanted to share the cards I made for her. I have to admit...I made the cards at the last minute. I remembered a card I had seen on Dawn McVey's blog, which you can find here. Check out her post for November 9th...love that doily card and just had to "lift" the idea. I think it turned out pretty cute.

My second card was for my hubby to give her and he wouldn't want anything too frilly...so here's a simple card I came up with for him.

Simple and sweet, right?

It seems like yesterday she was just a baby...

And yes...that's me...a loooonnnnggg time ago.

And here she is now...

 ...with her new birthstone ring. (Don't let the hair fool you...she's still a blond. She just wanted to try being a brunette.) She a wonderful, dramatic, bright, caring (did I say dramatic) teenage girl and her father and I love her very much!! Happy Birthday Kassi!

Thanks for stopping by everyone!
