Cricut cutouts and star brads- love it!

I really utilized my stamps to make this card (the bear grouping and snowflakes). The classic cards are always pretty.

Card #2

This card is a redesign of the motorcycle card I gave my dad for his birthday.

And 2.5 …

Christmas cards aren’t complete without a little Santa- and plaid!

I didn’t get quite as crazy this year with Christmas cards (last year I handmade over 70 cards). But I did make 7 different layouts for 2014. I just couldn’t decide which one I liked the best!

Here’s Numero Uno-

I liked making this card because I got to work on my embossing- those are snowflakes in the background. Plus anything that has a cricut cutout is adorable by me!

This motorcycle card could have really worked for anyone in my family, but this one is for the man who started it all- Happy Birthday Dad!

It’s actually cold today in the South! We’re experiencing below 40 weather and I think everyone may be worrying we’ll get another ice storm this year.

It’s kind of a weird time- where all the Halloween stuff was taking out of the stores and instead of Thanksgiving turkey’s there’s Santa’s instead. It reminds me of this scrapbook page from last year where I had no pictures of Thanksgiving…

But I still tried to make the pages somewhat match (photo’s mounted on a cut-out circle, the rectangular tab)

A FREE WEEKEND?! With no work? No getting up early?

You can find me in the craft room, working on this book

Sometimes I make pages and I just love them!

This last weekend my parents were in town to help me celebrate my birthday. I really cherish the trips that they take down to see me since we don’t get very many weekends together. Here is a glimpse of last years trip

I’ve had some good birthdays, but they’re always better when I get to spend them with my family!

For this 24th Birthday they met me in Nashville TN to celebrate.
