25 Days of Christmas: Day 25

I just got my new set of Peachy Keen Stamps yesterday. I was so excited. I just had to make something with them. These were the cards that I came up with. I used my awesome Winter Frolic cartridge.

25 Days of Christmas: Day 24

I spent the morning of my day finishing my Christmas Cards. Here is a few that I made...

25 Days of Christmas: Day 23

Today I needed to finish Christmas gifts and I saw an ornament that Momo did over on her blog a while ago and I decided I had to make one of my own. It was a snowman. It is the cutest Ornament ever!!!!

25 Days of Christmas: Day 22

Today I was wanting to make a card with a monkey on it but I still have xmas cards and things to make so I decided to make a Christmas monkey. I am so glad with how this turned out. It is awesome. I used the amazing Peachy Keen Basic Face Stamps and the Santa hat is from Paper Doll Dress Up. 

I am also entering this into the MyPinkStamper's 12 days of Christmas for the 6th day.

I used Stickles for the Pom Pom on the santa hat and a Sakura white Jelly Roll pen for the eyes.

25 Days of Christmas: Day 21

Today I am doing the challenge from MyPinkStamper. It was a color challenge and to use Teal or Blue, Green and Brown. I really like these colors together. They are pretty! I really wanted to use 3 birds on parade and I still have some Christmas cards to make so this is the card I came up with...

I used stickles on ball on the top of the hat. The bird is cut at 3 1/2 and the words are cut at 3".

25 Days of Christmas: Day 20

PS... I see that it has cut off some part of the blogs, they are are the links so you can go ahead and click on it. I'm not sure how to fix it. 

25 Days of Christmas: Day 19

I just made this card from Create a Critter. I love the little trees

25 Days of Christmas: Day 18

I wasn't sure what kind of card to make this and then I put a post on my Facebook page getting ideas and I was told that it makes a better Birthday card than Christmas. However I am still stuck on what sentiment to use on it...

25 Days of Christmas: Day 17

I decided this year I was going to try and make pretty much everything. Well, I think I got in way over my head considering I didn't start as early as I wanted to. I did make a few tags before and loved them. However I didn't feel like I had much time to make as many as I needed. So my younger sister works at Fred Meyer and I went there to get her one night and they had blank Christmas tags, ready for some ink and string. This is what I came up with and I still need to put the string in them. 

25 Days of Christmas: Day 16

I made this card for one of my family members. I needed another card and my sister and i had made the cute little birds a while ago and hadn't made anything with them yet. This is what I decided to make. The Card is a little smaller than an A2 card. They are a 25 pack at Michaels and I think they are 5.5 X 4. But they work all the same. 

I used 3 birds on parade for the card and this beautiful paper is from Craft Warehouse but I'm not sure the name of it. 

25 Days of Christmas: Day 15

Me and my fiancé had got some gift cards for people for Christmas. I was going to buy gift card holders and then  fiancé asked why I didn't just make some. I wasn't real excited about the idea only because I have so many things to make for Christmas. I decided that it couldn't be that hard and I went ahead and did some searching for gift card holders  on you tube. I found some that were very easy and very cute! These are what I came up with...

25 Days of Christmas: Day 14

Today I worked on a Christmas Card and getting the other Christmas cards labeled to be mailed out. It's a process. 


This is my Card...

I am entering this into a few challenges today...

1. MyPinkStamper: Make a project using 2 shades of Pink, 2 shades of Blue and Black

2. Paper Cutz: Create a LO, Card, Project using a hand stamped, digital, or cricut cut of a Snowman or Snowflake. Any colors.

3. Paper Playtime: SNOWMEN!!!

4. Peachy Keen: Emboss It!! Card or LO using an embossing technique

25 Days of Christmas: Day 13

Today I had a big TO-DO on my list that I have been trying to do for 2 weeks and havn't got that far. Well tonight was my lucky night!! I actually accomplished it, it may not have got done 100%, but 50%. I have got to say that is better than the big fat 0 still.


That's right!!! You guessed it! We finally got our Christmas tree!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I'm so excited. It smells like Christmas in my house. It didn't get decorated yet but that is because when we got it, it was pouring rain outside and I think it's a bad idea to put the lights on a wet tree. LOL!! So the decorating step is next and will happen this weekend. 

My Puppy who is just 9 months old, will not leave the Christmas Tree alone. We just figured out she is opening the back of the tree skirt and drinking the water out of it. 

25 Days of Christmas: Day 12

Well Today has been another one of those busy days!! That's good though.

I found out some amazing news and I cannot wait to share it with all of you but it's not the time. When I get the go-ahead I will announce it. I am so excited I almost cant keep it in but I will...

25 Days of Christmas: Day 11

Today was trying to finish getting things done for Christmas. I honestly didn't get far on that and I worked almost the whole day. Well, more money!! :) Projects are getting done just not as fast as I hoped! Oh well, thats what today before work is and all of tomorrow after I watch my cousin. 

25 Days of Christmas: Day 10

Me and my sister were out all day buying all the rest of the things that we need to make gifts and did not get much crafting in... 


We are trying to make a few things just for us but it takes over night to do so that may be the project that I do for tomorrow. We spent a long time in Craft Warehouse today :) This is the bird that I got done to make for a card. I am just working on the card part and will have it finished by the morning. 

25 Days of Christmas: Day 9

Im a little late, but better late than never... I got an order from my grandpa to make a set of cards, so that is what I have been working on to get done. I had everything done except I lost a few pieces to the Santa and Reindeer. I had to re-cut all the missing piece. This is what I did... 

There is also another set but they are hidden...

25 Days of Christmas: Day 8

Hello Everyone!!!


I am a little behind tonight! I made something but the camera battery is dead so I have to wait for it to charge. I am ready to go to bed So I will post 2 projects tomorrow. I got an order from my Grandpa and Friend at work to make some Christmas Cards and so that is what I have been working on. I will show you tomorrow. Along with all the Christmas gifts I have been trying to make. It's Crazy right now. Hope everyone has a good night!!!

25 Days of Christmas: Day 7

I just got these very cute Note holders that I have been wanting to try decorating... We will see how far I get with that!!

25 Days of Christmas: Day 6

Today I made this way cut card with 3 birds on parade. I love this Cartridge!! They have the cutest things on it, for every holiday and season...

25 Days of Christmas: Day 5

Today I made gift tags for Christmas. I got the idea off of the website www.creativetimeforme.com. She made some tags with Winter frolic so I made some like hers and then a few of my own. 

I am so happy with the way they all turned out. 

25 Days of Christmas: Day 4

On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me... A free day to crafting!!! YAY!!!!

This is the card I made with my new Winter Frolic Cartridge. I love it! It has so many awesome cuts!!

25 Days of Christmas: Day 3

Hello All!!!


This morning I got to go to the Festival of Trees with my best friend and it was really cool. Took lots of pics!! :) But afterwards we went to Michaels, and Craft Warehouse and got some cool stuff. We have been working on Christmas gifts tonight. I managed to whip this card up and I am very impressed with it. It is made with Winter Frolic. I Love that cartridge...

25 Days of Christmas: Day 2

Today is day 2... I know it is the 25 days of Christmas but I had to throw in a birthday card today. Today is my sisters 20th Birthday!!! YAY!!! She is growing up so much! She is living with me right now and it's different but I would do anything for her. 


I made a card while I was at work today on Esmerelda (my gypsy). I decided to use Smiley Cards for the card. I'm so happy that I did!!!! I also added a bow and some bling to the bow. She is not a pink girl like me so I made hers Blue and Green! I love this new cartridge!!

I cut the shadow and welded it, then cut out all the regular pieces. Everything was cut at 4 1/2. 

25 Days of Christmas: Day 1

So I am going to do my best at posting everyday and then making crafts and showing them off. I encourage you to join in. 


Today for the first post I was just going to do a little update since I am not finished with the card I am working on and havn't posted in a while...


The weekend before Thanksgiving we had my great grandma's funeral, she passed away the 13th of November, so that was really rough. She was 98 years old and had a nice long wonderful life. She will be missed very much. Our whole family came in from Las Vegas, Arizona and Washington for the funeral, so I got to meet a lot of people that I have not seen since I was born. That was fun!  My aunt is Pregnant and so that has definitely been exciting. We are in the process of making her a pregnancy album to document everything. I am also trying to finish me and my fiancé's 2010 album up to this point. His whole family came into town for Thanksgiving and we all had a blast. We made the announcement to them that we are getting married next year and everyone was so happy. We knew they would be but they live in LA and Oklahoma, so hadn't heard the news. That turned out to be the best weekend in a long time; with all things good. Tomorrow is my little sisters birthday, She will be 20. We are all going out to dinner on Saturday night to this wonderful italian/pizza place called Nona Emilias. Im excited for that. And I also just got free tickets from my work to go to our festival of trees this weekend. Going to be very busy until the holidays are over. Crazy but FUN!!!


I also still have to make things for gifts and send them away. I am almost finished with all the Save the Dates for my wedding; about 30 left to make...


See you back here tomorrow!!!!
