Wishing you.....

I've officially begun the Christmas Cards I have planned. I got a good start to them through the Charity Stamping Event here and a card class I attended. I'll post those later!! They're so cute!! Now I just have to figure out who's going to get what! There's so many ideas I want to try!! This is my first card using Santa Birgitta from CC Designs. As you can see I loved using the Dazzling Diamonds from Stampin Up. I'm working on two more cards with this same dp. I love that this paper is non-traditional colours too! Like the little charm?? I found this layout on a Christmas card by The Spotted Chick.

I'm entering this card over at Prairie Paper & Ink for Amy's ATG Contest Giveaway. She is giving away a Scotch ATG set.

Paper: Stampin Up Old Olive cardstock, B0-Bunny's Winter Joy DP

Happy Birthday Ghoulfriend

So now that it is officially October, I can post a great card I made at my latest card class with Donna! How cute is this?? My daughter is going to use it for her friends birthday this month. Second time with the sewing machine and I don't think I did too bad. I loved how we curled the flowers to give some dimmension. It was really neat how Donna matched the copics we used to the papers.

All Dogs Go To Heaven

This is a card I made this evening for my neices whose puppy passed away this week after contracting a fatal virus. Unfortunately he wasn't finished his vaccinations when he was exposed to the virus. I know they are going to miss him so much. Dudley was his name and he was just a darling, much to the chigrin of my 8 year old schnauzer Bosley who has always had me all to himself! We had Dudley over visit and a sleepover and although Dudley was just as big, if not bigger then Bosley, he was only 4 months old and Bosley let it be known who was boss at our house! I will miss this little guy and I'm sorry I didn't get to see him grow up.

Paper: Stampin Up Cardstock Not Quite Navy, Basic Grey Max & Whiskers, Kraft Cardstock

Accessories: Stampin Up Cordoroy Buttons in Chocolate Chip, Stampin Up Scallop Border Punch, Stampin Up Curly Label Punch, EK Success Corner Punch

All About Me

Here is the second two-page layout I made, this one with my CTMH stamping group. That's Bosley in the pictures.

Love Always.....

I have to share my all time favourite card I've ever made!! (not that I've made a lot but anyway)..........This was done at a card class with Donna at Dat's Scrapbooking in the spring. I can't pick just one reason why I love it so much, maybe the colours, the textures, the distressing, the tiny clear buttons, the material or everything together. I was so proud of this card, I don't think I'll ever give it away :-)
