Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was great! I visited hubby in Drumheller where he is working. My youngest and I spent a great day on Saturday sight seeing. We went to see the largest T-Rex then off to the Tyrell Museum. Ethan just loved all the dinosaur bones. After that we were off to the Fossil Museum. Ethan go to pan for minerals and we saw this awesome animatronic T-Rex. I was sure exhausted by the end of the day. It was fabulous.

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a great day! 

Well I think winter is here to stay here in Alberta. It was a really nice day here though. I think it was 5C. Better than the -27C it was a few days ago. Just thinking about it makes me cold. LOL.

I decided to make some more Christmas cards today. At the beginning of the month I went to a Stampin Up card class. We go to make 4 different cards. I decided to copy one of those cards. I love this card and it was very easy to make multiples of. I just changed up the sentiments so they weren't identical.

I made 8 all together.

Recipe:

Standard A2 size card

Cardstock - Papertrey Ink

Patterned paper - Stampin Up

Quilted Ribbon - Stampin Up

Punches - Stampin Up

Outside Sentiments - Pink by Design & Scrappy Moms

Inside Sentiments - My Craft Spot

Snow cover house stamp - Stampin Up

Also used 2 way glue pen, glitter, atg, Stampin Up ink, and dimensionals

I used 2 way glue pen on the snowy part of the stamps and then sprinkled glitter over. 

Love this sentiment and the paper that looks like wood. 

Here they are all together. 

Just wanted to share a little tip with you. For the inside of the card I cut out the centers of the brown colored mats to make the smaller brown mats that hold the sentiments. Saving paper, saving a little money. LOL!

Hey everyone! Hope your all having a fabulous week. I kind of had a rough start this week. I sprained my ankle on Tuesday. In a hurry trying to get to my son who was outside crying. I stepped on my winter boot and rolled my ankle and slammed into the door. I'm okay, I just have to wear an air boot for the next week. Yeah!

For today's card I did some coloring. I am really enjoying coloring with copics. It's a challenge. But I'm up for it. I think my coloring is getting better. What do you think?

My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #33 - Easel Cards

****CLICK HERE FOR MY CHRISTMAS CANDY GIVEAWAY!!*****

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Mine was great!

Well it's time for another Monday Challenge over at My Craft Spot. This week it's #33 Easel Cards.

I had such a great reaction to my other wreath card that I thought I would show you another version.

I just love pink and white for Christmas.:)

Make sure you head over to My Craft Spot and check out what the other design team members have made and make sure you enter this weeks challenge for your chance at a fabulous prize. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Recipe:

Wreath cut out at 3 1/2 from the Jolly Holidays cartridge

Cardstock - Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper - Recollections

Martha Stewart branch punch

Sentiments - My Craft Spot -Merry Christmas & Jingle all the Way

Embossing folder - Stampin Up

Ribbon - Papertrey Ink

Also used glitter, bling, 2way glue pen, atg, dimensionals, tombow mono glue

Well I`m building up the muscles in my one hand making these cards. LOL! Punching about 50 branches for each card is killer, but well worth the end result. Make sure you use a thinner cardstock to punch  the branches, not Papertrey Ink. Their cardstock is way too thick to punch. I tried!

I love that Kimberly`s sentiments can be used for the inside and outside of your cards

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Now go make yourself an easel card and enter the challenge.

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. 

Well we got out first snowfall last night. Everything was covered in the white stuff this morning. I guess it had to come sometime. At least with the temperature being warmer it should be melted by the end of the day. :)

Today is my niece Kelsey's birthday. Her parents are having a surprise party for her tonight. So I had to make her a special card. She is such a sweet girl. I made her a little cell phone card. I hope she loves it as much as I loved making it for her.
