Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

This is a Jeannie/Vicki challenge card and I have to tell you, it whooped me. I don't know if it was the tree cut that threw me off or if it was the fact that I can't get my head out of the clouds over being excited about our wedding. But either way, I just couldn't make this card come together at all. I actually have another card laying on my craft table with an elf and the tree that is done but I didn't like it at all so I started over. I like this one a little better. I do really like the look of the snow. I embossed it with clear crystals and when it dried it makes all the snow look really wet. I also embossed the tree with crystal clear embossing powder which dried the glittery color. I inked the deer and hung a ribbon from his mouth to look like he was holding the ornaments for the elf. The tree is from SYI and it is cut at 4". On the inside I put Oh Christmas tree because I love that song. I can hear the elf singing it while he is decorating the tree now. But to be honest with you the only song I really want to hear right now is the wedding march song...... whoo hooo. Can you tell I am a just a little excited....

Happy Halloween

This is a Jeannie/Vicki Challenge card. I needed a break from wedding stuff today so I said something to Jeannie about we need to do a card and she wanted to make one too. I only had flowers and rings on my mind so I told Jeannie I couldn't come up with something to do so she took on the task of finding us our next cut. She picked one of the trees from Stretch Your Imagination. As soon as I looked at the cart I knew exactly what tree I was going to use. I have been seeing all the halloween and fall cards that all of you are posting and that inspired me. I have know from day one of getting Pooh and Friends that I wanted to use those pumpkins so it all worked out just fine. I am really proud of this card. I love the paper, this is the new fall pack of paper from DCWV called Indian Summer. I absolutely love it. When I saw it I knew those orange colors would make perfect pumpkins. I hope you enjoy looking at this one as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you for looking and thank you for commenting. Thank you Jeannie for getting my mind off of wedding stuff....

SYI- tree cut at 3 1/2" twice and layered- the I cut out the leaves and just glued them wherever I thought needed a leaf

PDDU- cat cut in black- because halloween cats need to be black- I used my white gel pen for his face. The cat is cut at 3". The moon is also PDDU and is cut 3 times on flip and layered with glue dots. The bats are cut at 1 1/2" Pumkin on the inside is cut at 3"

Pooh and Friends. The pumpkins are cut at 2 3/4" once in green and three times with the layers. I alternated what color paper I was going to use for the top of the pumkins so all three would be different.

Wild Card- the word Boo on the front of the card is cut at 3" and the Happy Halloween on the inside is cut at 5".

Thank you all for your comments, they mean so much.... Do forget to check out my blog. I still have the blog candy up for grabs.... All you need to do is become a follower and leave me a message.

bottom of my heart thanks

Here is yet another thank you card that I have done for my friend. I still have a lot of thank you cards to make but this weekend I promise to post something other than a thank you card. With this one I used the hearts from George and layered them with pop glue dots. I also used stickles around the edge of the hearts. I was in a hurry to take my picture of this one so I used the freezer method for drying my stickles faster. It really does work. I used SYI for the tags behind of my setiment which is computer generated. The inside verse came from my own little mind. I also added brads to the setiment and if you look close enough you will see that I added a stickle dot to the center of each brad. I hope you like it and thank you for looking and thank you for commenting. Be sure and check my blog out too. I am getting more and more cards posted to it. Be sure to leave me a comment there too so I know that you have been there. Thank you all so much.
