It has been awhile

 Oh my goodness, I have been so busy since my daughter has moved back in with her daughter that I did not even know there were pictures still in my camera that I have not posted, but then I have not had much time to make cards either. So it has been a roller coaster of emotions for me around here.

                                  for 2 people from church that were in a car accident

                                         2 little grand nieces that are close in age

                                                    card I liked I made 3 more

                                                  Larrie's birthday card

what to get someonefor their 60th wedding anniversary???

Cards of course if you are a card maker. Although I have to say I did not plan on giving them anything until my sister asked what I was giving Aunt Shirley and Uncle Jim...my jaw dropped and said nothing. But cards are small, nice and useful.
I did put a little more thought into these and finished off the inside of each card.

I'm going to be ready

to send out Christmas cards this year,   With hurting my back I can't go in the barn, I can not hold baby Skylar, but I can make cards with my cricut as long as I don't sit in one spot for a long time. So I do a little at at time and picture them in groups. I will stamp them when it gets closer and I know which stamp I want to use this year.

Christmas cards 2015

hello again, I made 16 of the same card for 2015 and used up what I had from last year for my Christmas cards. It might look familiar,  I used it on a sympathy card a month ago. I just could not find the time to make different ones this year, the weather has been to nice to sit and make cards, even today is beautiful for Wausau WI,  it rained again last night and will be close to 50*, now if that would have been snow we would be in a blizzard.

It has been a while

last Christmas card, I hope!

hello again, this started out a birthday card, but was a bit to Christmas for me.

made 3 more with Christmas

I think I must be close to done with my Christmas card, now just have to address them and send them out.

more cards to post.

 I ordered this background stamp from my sisters stampin up dealer, she had it wrapped up for my birthday present, what a surprise, I never gave it a second thought (thinking it was a book) I was totally surprised and everyone around could tell.

 love this!!! I have wanted the Christmas cartridge for a long time, but it was retired, so when I bought my Cricut Expression there was a $50. coupon for digital cartridges that can be used in the cricut craft room.  so I bought it and enjoying this cartridge..

sympathy for family

Good morning to all, now let me see if I remember what I am doing to post my cards, it has been a while!
things have been crazy around here for some time now, with my mother having back surgery this summer to them finding a mass on her lung during a routine x-ray and it turning out to be cancer, they removed 40% of her left lung, For everything she has been through this year, she is doing well. She decided not to go with the chemo and radiation, because she is just wore out and the treatments are not guaranteed. She is 84 and we kids respect her decision.
On Nov. 2nd my daughter was in a car accident, we are blessed she is alive, she got severe whip lash, her left should is banged up and her back, the chiropractor did not sugar coat anything when he talked to her, he also said that she could be worse off and be paralized.

this first card is for my husbands cousin who lost his wife yesterday, she was only 64,  Not only are sympathy cards hard for me to make, but it also being winter (no butterflies) so I hope this is fine!

12 Christmas cards made with spellbinders poinsettia

 2 winter birthday cards Heather and Alex

 I must say this snowflake background was a little problem, until I put a new blade in!

Winter, just won't let go this year

so I made 4 Christmas cards
Good morning to all, and the weather man says this is just the first wave, we are expecting 4 to 8 inches more of the white stuff...I bought this pretty paper  Old World Winter from Hobby Lobby the other day.
I had not seen this pack before, so I bought it! The Paper Studio has great designs!
for these I used MJM sketch, I will finish the inside when I know the sentiment I want for the upcoming Christmas Season.
I tilted the sketch and let the paper for the sentiment.

                                  this morning, 2 inches of heavy wet snow

extra large card for Aubrey

good morning to all, boy.... is it cold out this morning -2 when I woke up and we might get up to 6 for a high.
I had fun making this card for Aubrey, she will be 6 on Wed. even though we will be seeing them next Sunday, I want her to get it on her birthday,   it being a extra large card   19 1/2 x 6 and with all the layers,
it is a heavy card and will need more postage, but she is worth it!

              cannot have fun in the snow without her big brother

               and what is snow without snow people!

 I also have extra snow flakes so when she opens it up they will come floating out....

I spy Sketches # 32

good morning to all, I have not made an ISS in some time and saw this one and thought snow flakes,
I used peach keen snow flakes for the background and heat embossed them, cut the window pane, upper left hand corner snowflake,snow day and bird with winter woodland on my cricut,
these will be going to my daughter who is a school councilor and my niece who is a teacher, come winter they look for those unexpected little breaks in the year.

 
I should have put a lighter back ground in the upper left hand corner, so you could tell it was a cricut cut snowflake with a gem ,,,,oh well!
