Birthday Fishes

With Christmas once again behind us, it's time for me to look ahead to January. Though I've never been one for New Years resolutions, I do have a three part goal for the upcoming year of 2011. Gain, Use & Loose. I want to gain a closer relationship with my Lord, use the scrap supplies I already have (instead of hording even more stuff) and loose 30 lbs. That way this time next year I can buy new scrap goodies and some new clothes!

To help with my use goal, I'm thinking about the January birthdays coming up in my family. (Thankfully they're all male, and they don't look at my blog so I can share safely. :)



My starting point was this sketch from Cute Card Thursday. Using my make-the-cut software I cut out the three fishes, assembled them and used markers to enhance them a little bit. The inside sentiment reads "Sending you Happy Birthday "fishes". Though admittedly not my "prettiest" card, I think they're cute.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!
Don't they look so yummy? My oldest daughter and I spent yesterday afternoon in the kitchen baking up the goodies. I'm so glad I have friends/neighbors to give some of them away to. It's the only way I won't eat all of them!

I found the cute little gingerbread guy on my Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge. I've had that cartridge for years, and have never used it till now. He was hiding with Mrs. Claus' accessories.

Hope everyone out in the bloggo-sphere has a great Christmas. May you find the love of Christ this season!

Hola!
I know I haven't really posted in forever, not sure anyone even stops by here any more. I've still been creating a few things here and there, just haven't bothered to take pictures and post them really. Guess you can call me lazy. lol

Anyhow, I had to make a few last minute Christmas cards today, and I used last Friday's sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping to get me going.



I used some older papers that I still have on hand, and used my Celebrate with Flourish Cricut Cartridge to make the wreath. I added some red and green Stickles to help the wreath pop out a bit.

I hope to be sharing things fairly regularly once again!

We don't always dress up for Halloween, but we did this year and the kids had a ball. Real simple layout, with sticker letters for a tiles and simply matted pictures sprawled on the page.

Still Sweet @ 11

This two page layout was based off of a sketch at Nuts About Sketches. It was perfect to capture my daughter's 11th birthday. I used some small left overs I had from a kit and light yellow cardstock for a base. I designed the title in Make-a-Cut and cut it out my Cricut. Glittered up some of it for some visual interest.
