Snowflake with Damask Decor

I just received this cart for Christmas from my DH and could not wait to try it!

This is also my first time making a solid front tri-fold card,

and I sove the design.

Some of the colors in the photos do not show up as rich as they really are.

The snowflake is cut @ 4" on a glittered green back and is framed

by a 3" circle (PS) that is cut to fit the card front.

Small snowflakes from a Fiskars punch and my ever-present

MS branch punch accent the main image.

The full front makes this card ever more inviting and gives the designer

more room for the designs.

I used a double sided paper from KC and used the opposite side

to decorate the inside folds.

The edges were rounded and inked in Java,

while the messages were stamped in dark green from a birthday set

I had purchased @ JoAnn Crafts.

More coordinating snowflakes and branches add to the inside of this card.

A handwritten message will go on the back and

can be displayed easily just by opening.

This is a very rich looking card in muted greens and tans.

TFL!

Happy New Year!

I made this card front to hold two small pictures

of us celebrating the big event.

I'm not sure what I'll do with it, but I loved the New Year's Baby!

TFL!

Warm and aromatic.....

This image is so much fun, and will be used for a

February birthday.
It definitely works for all of us "temperature challenged" women!

The front sentiment was generated in WORD,

and the image background was hand-pieced for accent.

The inside was embossed with the CB swirls folder,

 a flourish and brown ribbon were added for some bling,

and the sentiment -

Look on the bright side,

You can reheat your coffee with hot flashes!

The perfect card to make someone smile!

TFL!

Snow Fun for your Birthday!

Good Friday morning everyone!
Heres a cute little snowman card that I
made for my SIL's January birthday.

I used a Double-Dutch fold for this card base.

Since Christmas is over and the New Year has begun,

I chose shades of muted greens with just a touch of red.

The small snowflakes are a Fiskars punch and are decorated

with a small green gemstone.

The silver metallic branches are my favorite MS punch.

The backdrop for the snoman is the "snowman snowflake" from WICO.

This has been cut regular @ 3" and in blackout @ 3 1/4, 3 1/2, and 3 3/4"

It is decorated with just a hint of glitter for more sparkle.

This adorable little snowman starts out as an oval from PS

which has been inked on the edges.

This funky face is a Peachy Keen stamp that has been colored with

markers and pencils.

The winter hat is from WW and is cut @ 2 1/2" with the layers

being embossed with the swiss dots CB folder.

This little guy has also been "popped" for dimension.

The inside of the card opens up to reveal a matted

birthday sentiment using the FY cart and the centerpoint feature.

The snowflakes are repeated from the front and the open green mat

will hold a specail message for the recipient.

This card was Snow Much Fun to make

and I do hope you enjoy it as much as I did designing it.

TFL!

Ho...Ho...Ho!

This paper from the Christmas Stack was calling my name!

The cuts are from Christmas and WW carts.

The font on WWis amazing!

Snow much fun LO

Although we didn't have any snow for Christmas,

we made the best of it !

This paper came from the DCWV Christmas Stack.

Another Christmas Dinner photo from 2011.

This time Maddix is introduced to turkey...

as you can see, it was not a big hit!

Cuts are from Campin' Critters and Doodlecharms.

Thanksgiving LO

The next installments in Lil Maddix' book are our family dinners

for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We take the traditional family photo, but this year held a magical event...

it was Maddix' first taste of solid food!

The grand food of choice....sweet potatoes!  The first taste was a little

puzzling, but then he drove right in!

The second page is a collage of the events when my Mom went to visit the

weekend before Christmas.  Although I am absent, there are 3 generations shown in the photo,

and I think this will be a great keepsake for Maddix as he grows older.
