Christmas Card Using CTMH Markers and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi fellow bloggers, followers and friends.  I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving with their family and friends.  Thanksgiving is such a nice time of the year for celebrating life, appreciating who we are and what we have including the blessings of family and good friends. 

 

We have another new challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge #38 - Let It Snow.  We want to see snow on your cards.  Stop by and see all the fabulous creations by the DT and enter our challenge for a chance at two sponsor prizes.  Our sponsors this week are Bugaboo stamps and QKR Stampede.  Our guest designer is Valerie.  Check out her blog for more of her wonderful creations.

 

I chose to create a card with "Snowman Skates" from Bugaboo Stamp; which I made into a Christmas card.  The sentiment is also from Bugaboo stamps.  The inside is stamped with CTMH "Christmas Love" stamp set.

Magic Card - Thanksgiving Card Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge and Pemberley Paper

Hi to all you wonderful, creative people!!  It is Thanksgiving time again.  A time to reflect, a time to be thankful and a time to celebrate with family and friends.  I am so grateful for all of you and the opportunity to share my creations with you.  I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful support group that appreciates my creations and provides me feedback on how I am doing. 

 

This week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner; we are celebrating Thanksgiving or Fall - Challenge # 37 with three wonderful sponsors: Stitchy Bear, Scrappers Delight and Dragon Doodles.  Be sure to check out the wonderful digi stamps from our sponsors.I chose this CU Victorian Digi 2 Colored with Scrappers Delight.  I love the elegant colors and the gorgeous dress she is wearing. 

 

I decided to create a "Magic Card" which I saw on Joyce's blog.  The original "Magic Card" with tutorial is found on Marianne Skjelstad's blog.  I fell in love with this "Magic Card" as soon as I saw it.  Check out the tutorial and try it out for yourself if you haven't already tried it.  I think this is my new favorite card design.

Thank You Cards Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge and Clementine Paper

Hello everyone.  I feel like November is about being grateful for everything and everyone in your life.  I feel grateful all year long; but this time of year makes me very introspective about my life.  I have read over the years that we become introspective when the weather starts to get cooler; so I always think of fall as falling back.  It's a good time to look within and to listen to what your inner self is feeling or needing.  A time to regroup, look at your priorities and a time to share your gratitude with those you love. 
 

I am very grateful for my life and for all the people who are part of that life.  That includes you - everyone who reads my blog; who follow my creations and for all those who leave the lovely compliments.  I want to make sure you know that I am very grateful for each and every one of you.  I feel the blogging world is one big happy family, cheering each other on with our encouragement and loving compliments for each other.  I appreciate all of you and I am so happy that you are part of my life. 

 

 

I created some new Thank you cards that I wanted to share.  They are very simple.  These two cards are my way of saying thanks to all of you and to let you know how much I appreciate you.
