Joy to the World

Okay- so I am a little behind in my posting- December has turned out to be a lot crazier than I anticipated. However, school is going well and there some minor changes in my life (all good but just different) :) Anyway, I finally wrapped up with making Christmas cards- I decided I wasn't making anymore after this one (although I still have lots more to show). I am loving this ornament set and punch from SU- I bought the stamps (which you'll see later) and my demo had the punch which made me happy :) Enjoy this CAS card.

Recipe
Stamps: PTI- Holiday Button Bits
Ink- Rich Razzleberry
Paper- BG Eskimo Kisses, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry
Accessories- ornament punch, su punches (word window and I can never remember the name of the other one), cuttlebug embossing folder, dimensionals

Would love to hear from you- did you finish your Christmas cards? How many did you make? I think next year- I am going to make it a goal that the first 10 cards I make each month will be Christmas ones- anyone want to join me?

Snowman Wishes

Merry Christmas Tuesday! It's officially less than 2 months until Christmas (can you believe that?) What do you have on your Christmas list? I know it's only a matter of time before I am asked for mine so I need to get thinking. My family is not into getting me crafty things :( (not sure why) other than Hobby Lobby or M's gift cards (which are just fine with me!).

A QUICK CAS card to share today. I am still in the midst of my 100 card goal and am only about 25% of the way there. Still have a LONG way to go. I'm hoping to have some time throughout this week and the weekend to get some made.

Wonderful, Wacky Wednesday

Yes, it is a wonderful, wacky Wednesday! Hope all of you have had a blessed week! I am working hard to make sure I pre-schedule posts. I created this first card for the inspiration challenge from last week over at SCS. The picture I chose was a white heart necklace with a simple red word- Love. It was gorgeous and so simple. I went with a mixture of Nina's Heartily Yours Additions from Gina K and the sentiment from PTI's Everyday Button Bits. My second card was for last week's FS challenge over at SCS. The original card had score lines around the gray piece and a different sentiment. I also changed the direction of the heart a little.

Love, Peace, and Joy at Christmas

Well, I know it's only September but in an effort to get my Christmas cards made I believe that I will have a Merry Christmas Tuesday post (similar to my scripture Sunday posts). I have lots of Christmas cards to make and maybe this will help light a fire under me to get them completed. :)

A Day full of Joy

First order of business- give me one more day to announce the winner. I have figured out the number of entries everyone gets but I need to make the slips of paper.

Second, I created this card for the EIC95. I actually LOVE this card- this PTI set- Everyday Button Bits is one of my faves to create a quick card.

Here was my inspiration found at Kimmieprout:
