My favorite part of this card is all the embossing folders that I used for the eggs and the twine.

Merry Christmas

Love this little snow girl and the Peachy Keen Face is the best

Merry Christmas

This little girl is from My Scrap Chick and the file is the best! Too bad I'm having a little boy and won't be able to use this file for a girl.

Mr & Mrs

Card I made for the In-laws to give to some family that was getting married. My first Easel card and It turned out great!

Those are some of my favorite cards that I made of 2011. Tomorrow I am going to post my favorite Layouts of 2011. You won't want to miss out!! I am also going to find time to scrap more even with a new baby. I can't make any promises but my craftyness has fallen and it makes me very sad since it is what I love to do!!!

Easter Layout

Hello All!! Today is my weekly nothing but scrapbook day and it starts pretty soon. I am waiting for my Bestie to get here to get the day rollin'. Last week when I way layed up for a while I thought I could design something on Esmerelda and get it cut out. So I cut it out and put it together while I was on the couch. LOL! As I look at this Layout more and more I have decided that it really needs something more. I think I am going to figure it out and then re-post the picture. 

Recipe:

8 x 8 Layout

Peachy Keen Challenge #38

Peachy Keens Challenge this week was to create a LO or Project based on October. It cannot be a card and can use Autumn, Halloween, or Harvest Elements. I made this project...

I made this with Doodlecharms and Don Juan. We are going to the Pumpkin Patch tomorrow and hadn't made anything for the pictures yet.

New Cards

Here are some cards that I made tonight. I was planning on making more but didn't get that far. It is so hot here today that I found myself just wanting to sit here and not do anything. 

**I cut the turtle at 3 1/4 from my Create a Critter Cartridge. I Love that Cartridge!!!!**

This one I made to go with the pack that I am sending to my grandma. I remember her asking me a long time ago for some cards that she can give to people and I thought I would do that for her. She lives up in Spokane and we are close and I miss her so much!! I am trying to think of more cards to make and send but I am drawing a blank. There are already a few birthday ones to go. 

** The Popsicle was cut at 3" from Doodlecharms and the card is an A2 size with the mat cut at 5 1/4 X 4, the stamp is one from the dollar bins at Craft Warehouse**

This awesome card I found on the Cricut Message Board and I knew I just had to make one myself. Two of my cousins are pregnant and I thought this would be perfect!!

** The Stove and Timer were both cut with From My Kitchen, The stove is 3 1/4" and the timer is cut at 2". I also used Rhinestones for the knobs of the stove**
