Still Thinking of You!

I'm just getting into the mode to make Christmas Cards, LOL! I did this last year too. It's just something about the Holiday that brings it out in me. Much easier for me to make my Christmas cards right after Christmas so that's just what I'm working on this week. It sure helped last year to get all my cards designed and pretty much finished during December and January however, I still had cards to make this November for my Mom so this year I hope to do both of ours for next year. This sketch is from H2H Challenges from this Summer. Of course, I'm still playing with my CTMH Jingle scraps! Supplies: Paper: CTMH Jingle, Stamps: CTMH Merry Pursuits, CTMH Bitty Sparkles, Misc Ribbon and Snowflake

Happy (Almost) New Year!

Oh Fun Memories....this was last year's CTMH Holiday Paper - Jingle! It's still one of my FAVORITE papers and I love using it although I cringe a little as I'm slowly using it up...LOL! (Roll Eyes Here!) BUT I KNOW you KNOW what I mean. There's just something about using your favorite paper and wondering if you'll ever find more? I do like this years, Mistletoe but it's more traditional colors and although it's pretty, it's just not this bright and colorful Jingle. A few of my friends are getting this CUTE Happy New Year Card from me. I think the sketch is from Cute Card Thursday and I apologize I didn't write down the date. Since it snowed here today with more coming tomorrow, it seemed only fitting to use my CTMH Snow Friends stamps. I'm sending a Shout Out with this card to my stampin' friends over at Heart2Heart Challenges Blog as they have a fun challenge going until Jan 3 to upload your favorite Holiday Cards! Supplies: CTMH Jingle, CTMH Snow Friends Stamps, CTMH Sparkles, Stickles, CTMH Tulip Big Brads, CB Snowflakes Folder

Home for the Holidays!

Whew, I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I last posted! I got busy in October with new responsibilities for work and somehow that "sucked the life" right out of my MOJO! I've tried, I've seriously tried but nothing seemed to work. I did get my Christmas cards made and sent out and have just started working on some Happy New Year Cards so I'm hoping to report I'm back....I just wanted to post tonight for Christmas Eve and wish all of you Merry Christmas! Life seems to be more back to normal pace so I plan to be back to posting regularly in January. I hope you enjoy your holidays! This card design came from MOJO Monday #164. Supplies: Paper: CTMH Mistletoe; Stamps: CTMH Snow Days, Holiday Commentary; Stickles, CTMH Bitty Sparkles, CB Dot Folder

Happy Birthday DH!

10-12-10 ... Happy B-Day DH! I like birthdays but my DH says it is just another day, oh bah humbug! He's such a scrooge about his birthday. Well, I made him a card and a photo frame of picts of the boys and he did like that! I also made him a cake so we had fun even if he didn't want to admit that! Ha! This is the sketch from Mojo Monday #160. Supplies: CTMH Cherry O Creative Basics, CTMH Stamps Celebration, CTMH Holiday Buttons, Cricut George & Basic Shapes, SU! Eyelet Punch, Red Stickles

10-10-10

Today was one BEAUTIFUL Fall Day here in Ohio! I went to work on my H2H Challenge to create a Birthday Card and when I finished up I was very pleased with the outcome...but it made me laugh because next on my list was to make a Birthday Card for my hubby whose bday is Tuesday, LOL! Well, this card won't work but I have some other challenges to finish up so coming up with another card for him won't be too difficult! The sketch is Mojo Monday 159. Supplies: CTMH Emporium CB, CTMH Stamps Piece of Cake, CTMH Ink Vineyard Berry, Indian Corn Blue, Creme Brulee, Sweetleaf, SU! Dot Folder, MS Daisy Punch

Clyde and Seymour

Woohoo! Another layout done for LOAD (LayOut A Day) Challenge at Even More Scrapping! I'm slowly but surely getting caught up. Even if I don't, striving for 31 layouts for this month will really help me get caught up on my Yearly Goal. I need to do 47 pages for each of the next 3 months. I got a little behind in June and July but no matter how many I get done my Scrapbooks are still coming along nicely.

These pages are from our visit to SeaWorld this year. It was so fun to remember the first time we saw this show at SeaWorld. JT and I were talking about what age they were the first time and how much they enjoyed it then....we still enjoyed it this time as well. Supplies: CTMH Tinkerin, Cricut Cart Cindy Loo, CTMH Flip Flaps, SU! Top Note Die, SU! Scallop Edge Punch

At The Bay

I'm trying to get caught up on my Scrappin' layouts for the LOAD (LayOut A Day) Challenge on Cheryl's (Even More Scrapping) Blog. I started late but hope to get caught up here soon! I've picked up these picts several times to get them scrapped and then ended up scrapping others. So glad they're on the page. This layout is from pg 58 of the CTMH Spring 2010 Catty. I really liked it as soon as I saw it and had it marked to scraplift. The stamps were from a goody box I got...how fun!

Traverse City is one of our FAVORITE places to visit and we always enjoy the stories Don tells from growin' up playing in the Bay. Good times! Supplies: CTMH Majestic, CTMH New Horizons, CTMH Alpha, CTMH Tulip Mini Medley
