Last of my xmas cards!

Hello to all! I am so sorry for not getting back to post for so long. I am so busy as I know all of you are! Sunday afternoon we spent with Stef and her husband...we had a wonderful visit ! This was the first time the hubbies met and they were like old friends at the start! I was amazed at the chatter coming from the living room as Stef and I sat in her craft room! Santa left a package at Stef's for me...it is the MS loopy punch I have been wanting so bad...Love it but haven't played with it yet. Today I finished up making my xmas cards...these are for my children and my grandbabies...the santa one I made 4 of...one for each granbaby...and the other two are for my sons and dear DILs. I found this web site...Twisted Papers...that has all these beautiful, clear crisp vintage images...and they are posting freebies through Christmas day! I can't wait to use some of these for next year's cards. Of course I added some bling, etc to each of the cards. Today, I have last minute food shopping to do and some housecleaning! Thanks so much for stopping in to see me...and I surely will be by to see all of you today...sorry I have not been to see you before now. Whew!! I will be glad when the hustle and bustle is over!

HUGS!

Happy Holidays

Good morning! Well one week from today the Jolly Old Man will have been here on his sleigh! Oh gosh and I am not ready for him!!! I am off work all week next week so I will be scrambling to get things done. I hope most of you are better prepared than I am! Well, I do believe this may be my last Christmas card post. And although it doesn't really look Christmasy...it is a Christmas card. This card is a replica of a card I had created some time ago as a Thank You card. I received an order for this card from a friend of mine...she wanted to give it to her supervisor who is a male....so I added Happy Holidays and the small tree (SU stamp) and then glittered it up with a Sakura clear glitter pen and added a ribbon!
I may not be posting for a couple of days so that I can get ready for Christmas...but I will be back by Sunday hopefully. Thanks to all of you for supporting me by visiting me daily and leaving some love! Have a great day!

Fairy Happy Birthday

Hello, so glad to see you today! Wow this week has flown by for me! It is hard to believe it is Thursday already! Today I have a card that I created for a friend whose birthday is coming soon...and she is an avid reader so I wanted to make her a bookmark as well as a card. Decided to make the bookmark a part of the card! The image I used on the bookmark is from Pairie Fairy. It is a freebie she offered a while ago on her blog. If you remember a few days ago I posted some information about the call for a DT and there are lots of sneak peaks of images that will be in her new store. If you haven't gone to see her...please do! I colored the image with Copic markers and added some clear glitter to the fairy's wings and skirt. I chalked the background of the marker and tied a ribbon at the top. The card was actually part of a kit I had gotten from a Lisa Bearnson sample kit. I created my sentiment in photoshop. Thanks to Roberta for the freebie! Well that is it for today...hope you enjoyed your visit. Thanks much for stopping in!

For You

Hello! Well we are getting closer to Christmas! Are you ready? I most certainly am not! Still have to put up the tree and decorate the house but I plan on doing some of that by the end of the week. Most of my shopping is done...but nothing is wrapped. However, I am off work all week next week so I have some "extra" time I would not have had if I had been working so I am not panicking YET! Well, todays card was a real simple card...white card base, layered with gold and burgandy...used the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder for the embossing and cut it into sections. The ornament is also a Cuttlebug die and embossing folder but I am not remembering what it it called. I brayered some burgandy ink on the ornament, colored the top with Copics, and then used some Gold stickles. The ribbon used to "hang" the ornament on the card was from Hobby Lobby. Well, hope your day is wonderful and WARM! Thanks for stopping by to see me, I know you are alll busy busy trying to get ready for the Holidays. I am planning on visiting all of you a little later in the day today!

HUGS,
Vicki

Cricut Happy Holidays

Good frosty morning to you! Today's card was a cricut creation! So simple but it has a little bit of an elegant feel to it. I layered the underside of the cut out front with some gold foil paper from American Crafts and then simply stamped the sentiment in gold. Super simple, quick and easy with the cricut. Today I am at home...took the day off work to help out my DIL and son with the babies. I hope to be able to stop by and visit with each of you a little later on in the day...thanks so much for stopping in! Happy creating!

HUGS!
