Owl @ 3"
Branch from Winter Woodland @ 1 1/4 & 1 1/2"

peachy keen challenge #19

For New Years PKS gave digi stamps to down load, so I used it for this challenge,
after I had colored it I was not sure I wanted to cut it into 3rds, but I did and this is how it
ended up....
thank you PKS for the digi stamp, I think it turned out good!
yes, I forgot to put that I also used my cuttlebug!

Britt's Sale at Church

Because of school being canceled last week because of the winter blizzard. We had to hold off a week
to sell cards.  We sold 9 which I think is really good for being so close to Christmas.
And I also gave one to a good friend of mine, so 10 are gone.

Here are a few pictures.....I know some Jeannie cards sold, everyone loved the cardinal's and a Valentine card which I also think is a Jeannie card...
                                      Here is Brittany smiling so pretty for me
                         she is 14 and about 5 inches taller than me, she likes looking down to me!

                                                           and the table of cards, sorry about the glare

                                   and our advertisement, I was in a hurry so I comp printed it!

Thanks for looking, and if you see your card, thank you for the wonderful card for me to copy
I am hoping that I can have another sale come spring, Britt has a good start toward her trip.

this will be my last post until after Christmas, My daughter and son-in-law are coming home  this Sunday for Christmas and I have some cleaning up to do around here. I am getting so excited, they have not been home for Christmas in 8 years. And we have a cookie baking day  set aside.

So, HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL AND SAFE NEW YEAR.

the cuttle bug spot and cricut cardz challenge #5


  for the Cuttlebug Spot....

 For You: Christmas Gifts

Christmas is right around the corner. Have you been busy shopping? Wrapping already?  Well if you are wanting some inspiration on how to give that special gift...look no more. Our Designers have been busy altering and creating some wonderful project that I'm sure you will enjoy. Wether you are giving an album of memorable pictures, or a box of goodies, don't forget to add that special touch with an embossed look.

Cricut Cutz Challenge #5
Speaking of Christmas, this week's challenge is to make a Christmas card using one or more of the following things that start with the letter "S" ...Santa, Stocking, Sleigh, Snowman or Snowflake. Use the cartridge(s) or colors of your choice.
even though this is not a card, it holds 8 to 10 card!

I have been making these holders for years now, with computer  generated cards.  Now that I am making cards I  can decorate the holder also.
start with a 5 cent folder (when they are on sale before school starts)
for this I used WW - sleigh @ 2 3/4" shadow and base
horse @ 2 3/4" shadow and base
tree @ 3 3/4 "
snow flakes @ 1"
greetings at 1 1/2"base and shadow
Gifts from celebrations. #4 present  @ 3/4",    #1 @ 1", & #3 at 1 1/4"
I don't remember the names of the cuttlebug folders, there are 3 (click on picture to enlarge
for detail)

inside of the holder


you can see that each side can hold about 4 or 5 with the envelopes      
1/4 size cards, I used velcro pieces to hold it shut!
