These are most of the Christmas card-styles I made for 2019. I created 234 to use and to sell - I may not be done either! Lots of these cards are inspired by cards I've seen on Facebook or Pinterest, but there are some that are my own designs. I love Christmas, and enjoy creating Christmas cards year-round. In fact, I almost exclusively make Christmas cards!

I need to be a better blogger - seems I say that every year. In any event, here are some Valentine's Day cards I made for my friends and fam. My fave is the card with the poop emojis.  I made this for my niece, because poop emojis are our 'thing.' When she was little, before she could read or write, she used to text me using emojis. When she found the poop emoji, she was so tickled. Everytime I received a text from my sister,  I always knew when it was Ems. Sweet memory.

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU! French Foliage stamp set Paper Pumpkin March 2018 "May Good Things Grow" stamp set (for the Happy Birthday) CTMH Gold Pearls Forever in Time natural burlap tape

Happy 2018! I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. Yikes!  Hopefully 2018 will be a better blog year for me. I created these cards with the retired CTMH Zoe paper pack and several current and retired CTMH products.  I am donating them to an annual online auction we have at work. I'm a paper hoarder (like many paper crafters i know!) so I am trying to use up some of my older papers. I loved doing this set of cards and decorated tin.  Super cute and easy - and I still have some leftover Zoe paper for other projects.

Good Tuesday morning to you all!  I'm participating in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week, and this is the sketch. When I saw the sketch on Monday morning, I just knew I had to participate and I knew JUST the paper pack I was going to use. CTMH's No Worries was a no-brainer; it is by far my FAVOURITE paper pack in Seasonal Expressions 2 and I will be sad to see it go at the end of this month.  I may have stocked up... I also ordered some banner dies online, and they arrived a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't ask for a more perfect sketch on which to try them out!  Then I remembered my beachy dies that arrived around the same time - and my idea for the sketch was born. (I may have been going a little crazy lately, ordering dies from overseas - SO cheap and SO cute. They take some time to get here, but it's so exciting when I go to the mail box and see those white plastic envelopes addressed to ME!! :) But, I digress...) I am so excited to share my f...

Just popping in to show off a card for my mother-in-law's birthday next week. I used the No Worries paper pack, Cashmere and White Daisy cardstock, white burlap ribbon, and No Worries sequins (all CTMH). I also used CTMH Keyboard Uppercase Alpha stamp set. I used some SU! products too - notably the Large Numbers Framelits, Chocolate Chip ink, and Glimmer Paper Assortment pack - Bermuda Bay (thank you, Sale-a-bration!) I added some Liquid Glass to my glimmer paper 39 - to give it an extra layer. I'd always wanted to try adding LG to a die cut, but I was unsure how messy it would be plus, I just don't like to ruin things. But I gave it a try and absolutely LOVE how it came out! It was super easy to apply the LG, I just traced around the numbers (not particularly close to the edges) and used the applicator tip to move the LG around. The glimmer paper is somewhat forgiving, because it's glittery and beautiful as is, so I'm not sure how I would do on a plain old ...

I'm so in love with CTMH's No Worries patterned paper. I completed the scrapbooking Workshop Your Way (my first one ever!) - just have to get the pictures printed for the layouts. I've also been making some cards using this paper pack (and coordinating stamp sets and embellies). I used this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge sketch as inspiration for my latest card. This is the sketch: This is my interpretation of the sketch: Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my card! :) Supplies : Paper: No Worries patterned paper, White Daisy and Cashmere cardstock (all CTMH) Ink: Cashmere, Sapphire, Seaglass, Black and Saffron (all CTMH) Stamps: No Worries Card-Making stamp set, My Anchor, Little Dreamer Card-Making stamp set (All CTMH) Embellishments: CTMH White Burlap ribbon, 3D foam tape
