Moulin Rouge Card

I just am loving this card. I don't know now if I"m going to give to the person I intended it for. I might just keep it. I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the corset and added ribbon to the bottom of it. I use Crafty Secrets French Mail stamp set I also Crafty Secrets Journal notes and Stickers on this card. The script on the upper left was made using an embossing folder in the Cuttlebug. I used alot of Distressing Ink on this card I also used the Distress Stickles and Embossing Powder.
On the inside of the Corset I stamped a bra from Crafty Secrets Support the Girls Set. On the inside I"m going to Write Merry Christmas you naughty boy looking in a girls Corset.

I hope every one is having a Wonderful Christmas Season.

Just some Christmas Cards

Well I tried out for the SUInk DT but I didn't make it and that's okay cause I just love making cards these days. Well here are some of the cards I used when I tried



For this card I cut out the scalloped circle using the slice and cut a window on the top of the card. As you can see I Stamped the Santa on the inside. The pattered paper is from Doodlebug and
I love SUInk Oh Holly Night Set. Thats where this Mary stamp is from I colored her in with Copics

I just love this card I made it for my hubby one day.The paper is from Creative Imaginations. I also used Grunge board and sprayed it with Tattered Angels Gimmer Mist. The stamps are from SUInks Kiss the Cook Set.

Well I hope every one has a great weekend. I'm going to be creating tonight and tomorrow after the tree is up. Sunday it sounds like we are going to be getting a good winter storm so that makes for good stampen and scrappen weather. Hopefully I will get some of my Christmas projects done so I can get some challenges done I have been wanting to do.

Cookies and Wreaths, Yummy Christmas Treats

OH my goodness I can't believe that Thanksgiving is this week already it seems like this year has flown by. This year my parents are taking my oldest with them to North Carolina to see my Brother and Sister in Law. There son is the same age as our daughter and there bestest buds and they miss each other a lot.

Well on to the crafting.

I had a lot of fun making this wreath. First I cut card stock and pattered paper I use Reminisces in to 1 x 5 inch strips. I used a hot glue gun to loop them over. (hot glues dries a whole lot faster) I then hot glued them on to a Styrofoam wreath in 4 rows. I cut out the the snowflakes and circles using the Slice. I used SUInk stamp sets Snow Day and Holiday Sentiments to stamp the images. I colored them in with Copic and Spica to color them in. I added Iced Stickles to them. On the Merry Christmas circle I made 1/4 x 4 inch strips and looped them behind.

Paper: Bazzill and Reminisces

What is Chrismas with out cookies. I always love getting the pre mixed cookie jars. I love how they look and so easy to make cookies with. Well when I got Kiss the Cook stamp set from SUInk that was the first thing I thought of.
I stamped the images on cardstock and colored them in with Copics and Spica. Yes I just got the Spica pens too. They are made by Copics and are glitter pens, they are wonderful to work with. Then I cut the images out and put them on the tag. The letters are by Making Memories.
On the back of the tag are the mixing and cooking dirctions. I made a strip for the botton I had to put the cute little stamps from the set on the tag also. I used my Cropadile to put an eyelet in the tag and put in on the ribbon around the neck of the jar.
For the top I cut out the circles with the Slice. Stamped the cookie sheet on there. The Warm Greetings was 1 stamp but being their clear stamps I cut the words apart and put them on the stamp block.

Christmas is over.........sniff......sniff

Why is it that when we get older Christmas loses that sirten spark. Now don't get me wrong i still love Christmas. Maybe its not my age though...............Now the stores have the christmas items out before its even November. Thanksgiving doesn't even stand a chance with that happening. Then the week before Christmas is at our toes and all the Christmas item are at 50% off like its over already. DOn't get me wrong i love the sales. But i remember Thanksgiving with all the fall color them waiting to see what Christmas Decorcations will going up around town over the week end. And stores don't decorate like they use to either and don't don't celebrate the same way. You don't see slay rides like you use too. no long lines to see santa. I miss that. I think we have lost the true mean to christmas and that makes me really sad. Because Christmas is so much more then a profit for the stores. Its the Birth of Christ that we are celebrating a time of peace and joy. A time when people act kindly to each. the way we should all year round but for some reason we don't. People talk to each other more. I wish we were like that all year round. Yes i'm glity of it also. I think the spirit of Christmas should be all year and the reason we celebrate Christmas should stay CHRIST. so MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
