Wanted to wish each and every visitor a very Merry Christmas from our home to yours.
My honey and I are feeling so blessed and happy to report we have added a member to our family.

 This is Oreo, she is a rescue from our local shelter.

Hope you have a wonderful day filled with family and friends.

Many More Cards

Merry Christmas One & All

 

Just wanted to share two of my favorite cards I used this beautiful LaBranche silicone stamp and some embossing powder.

One more vinyage design using some wonderful Crafty Secret images

Hope your day is being spent with many love ones and a
Very Merry Christmas to All

More Christmas Cards?

Please can it be? There really is more Christmas cards...I feel bad I didn't get to share them before this week.
So let me share some fun designs using just supplies I had on hand

 P K Glitz Art Acetates are the easiest to use and make such a wonderful presentation.

 How about a close up? I even used PK Glitz Embossing Powder to add some richness.

 I actually bought that spectacular bell jar die and have finally taken the time to make something with it. I even used the pinecone and flower die.

 For these quick designs I used many of the Tattered Angels chipboard pieces they were called Glimmer Chips...can you believe I have all of these and haven't used them?

 I wanted to share a close up of this great velvet snowflake paper

How about the fun design on this snow person and some glitter background paper.

See quick and easy

Happy Holidays!

Holiday Snowflakes Peace On Earth

Here is another fun design that went together quickly and looks spectacular.

I used these glittered paper pieces that are meant to be computer letters. You know for all those holiday letters about your family.

 I used a standard card base and glued with Helmar 450 Glue in the seam and sandwiched a folded letter design.

 I have these stamps and die cuts from  Heartfelt Creations that I always pull out each year and use in some fashion. I even used a couple CTMH stamp sets I always pull out each year. That Beautiful ink color is Nautical Blue from Memento.

Peace On Earth

Some More Quick Cards To Share

I told myself I would take a few minutes to post some cards here and there before Christmas so I don't lose that crafty feeling...

I used many  wonderful Retro Cafe images and added my special touch! LOL

 that equals GLITTER!

 A few piece printed cut and inked

 Added one of my favorite Helmar Glues =  Gemstone Glue 4.23 fl.oz.

How about a few more Christmas cards? I made and sent about 70 and had to stop.
How many did you make and send?

 How about some quick cards that were easy to design and  assemble many that were needed.

 These were made with some of my favorite CTMH papers, stickers and some odds and ends from my stash

See how quick and easy these are?

 Hope you are all doing well and sending and receiving many, many cards.

I Am Still Here-How About Some Christmas Cards?

Long time no talk or see! I know I apologize for being gone so long...life has a way of getting in the way that is for sure.
I am trying hard to pop in here and there and let you know I am still here. My schedule has changed to full-time at my regular job, and I am working on a very important project that has to get done by the end of the year.
Hope I get to celebrate Christmas...I know I will.
I have been taking time here and there in the wee hours to create projects, and I finished a few Christmas cards to send this year.

Here are a few I  created and sent, the images are from

 Retro Christmas Paper Download
Vintage Christmas Paper Download

 I added some of my favoite ribbons and laces from Really Reasonable Ribbon

 I even went through my bin of last years ribbons and doilies to add to my designs.

Every image I hand cut and ink distressed before assembling many cards. These are just a few and I hope to share some other through this week.
Thanks for popping in and I hope your all doing well.

So Let me begin!!!
First I have a fun glitter house I made and then I am going to share some of my favorite quick crafts I have done and hopefully inspire you to try some of your own.

 I used many of my glitters and mixed and matched to cover this entire house. This is the smallest house size out of the largest three so you can get an idea of the size.

 I took the time to use many supplies I had sitting around just waiting to be used, bet you know what I am talking about if you are a crafter.

I wanted to share how it all started with just glitter and tinsel  and I love the shine on this house.

Another close up to show some of the details.

 

 This is one of my past favorite crafts to make,a food project!!! Hot cocoa packets just in time for the cold weather.

 How about a quick hanging ornament  with some fun layers.

 

 I have a Christmas canvas I made with many layers and some fun graphics from NiceCrane Designs.
