Christmas Sampler

I "lifted" this idea from Jeannine. I love the one she made so I did my best to recreate it. I'm thinking I'd like to make one for each of the seasons.

16 X 20 frame

red and ivory poster paper

SU! Christmas Jingle scrapbook kit

SU! Merry Moments scrapbook paper

Cricut: Jubilee

Cut red paper 16 X 20

Cut ivory paper 12 X 16

Cut background rectangles 2 1/4" X 2 1/2"

Add embellishments and stickers as desired

Hospital Thank Yous

I recently had surgery and had many friends bring me flowers, gifts and meals. These are cards I made from one of my gifts from Jeannine. She brought me paper and embellishments from Making Memories.

Heather's Thank Yous

Heather liked the Thank You cards I made for her engagement party so much that she ordered 50 more from me. I was thrilled to have the excuse to spend some quality time in my craft room so thanks to Heather fro the opportunity.

I went to Paper Pals to get some inspiration and fell in love with this Earth Love paper and embellishments by Cosmos Cricket.

My Cluttered Workspace

What starts off as a nice clean 4' X 3' work area usually get's whittled down to a 6" X 6" area when I'm all through crafting. After my latest stamping frenzy that's precisely what I ended up with. One of these days I will have the beautifully organized craft rooms but for now I'll take what I can get.

For Heather

Heather and Donnie's package
Cricut: Storybook

My friend and high school classmate, Heather Stephenson, recently had an engagement party in Libby. I haven't seen Heather since our 10 year reunion and thanks to Facebook we have recently gotten in touch again. I decided to make her a bunch of Thank You cards as I knew she'd be traveling by plane and didn't want to overload her with a heavy crystal salad bowl.


I love this paper but it's so busy in itself that I just stamped the Thank You right on top of it.

Our friend and fellow GAB bookclub member, Faye Williams, had a baby girl this summer, Marie Isabelle. It was so fun to see the little pink pixie at her baby shower. Along with some new baby outfits (I couldn't help myself as it's been forever since I've browsed the baby section) I made her these thank you cards.

Wife Cards

My Wife Cards have gone over really well which makes me happy. I try and make more then one at a time so when I hear of a man who's having a birthday I can quick go through my stash and put together the package for them.
