A Few New Cards

I won't put much in the way of a description tonight (this morning) but I will come back later and put some details for you. For now, here are a few things I have done lately.

Flowers Make Me Smile

I don't know about you but flowers make me smile. Here are several floral cards I did this week that I hope you enjoy. I will be posting more later but those are older ones.

This first one is one I did really quickly last night after I picked up this floral paper, which is two-sided with the blue that you see being the back and the flowers being the front, from Family Memories in Charlotte, NC. Then I went to check out a new scrapbook store in Charlotte called Oh Scrap! (love that name) and picked up the color brown I have been looking all over for, JAVA. I love to cut out flowers and make them stand out. I used Stampin Up's Riding Hood Red Ink for the stamp that I used.

This next one is one I did several days ago I used the top part of a floral stamp made by Anita's that I picked up at AC Moore, I colored it with 2 different water color pencils (2 layers) and then used a green marker for the inside. The paper is brown, white and a pink print that was a hostess gift I got from Stampin Up a couple of years ago. The ribbon is from American Crafts.

My Stamp Box Challenge

So this is my entry for the challenge with black, white and Hot Pink! I hope you enjoy. I put a bit more time into this one with all the dots and then cutting out the flower but I like it and I hope you do to.

Black and White

These are some of my favorite cards I have done. I love the simplicity of the black and white. I love the different ribbons. These are double sided papers and I cut out some of the flowers and matted them for a 3D effect. They are just pretty, that is in my opinion.

Have a great day!

Christmas Time Is Here!!!!

I cannot

believe it is so close to when Santa comes. There are so many things I love about the holidays, decorating (which I am behind on this year), the friends, the family, the lack of stress and the excitement! Hiding things from the kids, and hearing them ask questions about what they think each other will get. I love the holiday symbols. I love that my family understands that we wouldn't have Christmas is it were not for Christ and that is my favorite thing about Christmas.

I made some Christmas cards for my mom to send out to her friends and here are a few of them. I hope each of you have a VERY MERRY CHRISTmas and a happy new year.
