Another Birthday with a granddie!

December 20, 2009 Mattie was born and she is one little adorable gal. She loves life and everyday is a new adventure for her. Here she is on her 3rd birthday with lots of energy! She loved her pink ballerina outfit and book, and she REALLY loved her pink car!
Happy Birthday Mattie, love Grammie.

Cardz Tv Challenge 2 "Crafty Christmas"

I made a banner for my mantle using the Elegant Edges cartridge for the bases and the Storybook Cartridge for the letters.  I had some pretty pointsettias in my "stash" and so I put them on the banner.  It was very easy to make and looks pretty as it hangs!  Thanks for looking, TATA

Cricut Cardz Challenge # 97

I kinda, sorta, well I did "scrap-lift" this from Mary, but I love the baby Jesus with all my heart.  One of my most favorite listening at this time of year is Handel's Messiah.  "For Unto Us a Child is Born" tells of the wonderful coming of Jesus' birth.  Thanks for looking, TATA

Christmas Tree

I finally used my Sophie cartridge and made this card using the tree.  I used some pretty foil paper (does not show very well) for the base shape and some green for the top layer.  I did the design in the Cricut Craft Room, what a great program!  I stamped with a sentiment from Cardz TV stamps.  This was a very simple card to make but it is very pretty in person.

Thanks for looking, TATA!

Say it with "S" Challenge

I made a gate-fold card for this project.  The "S"tocking is from Jolly Holiday cartridge and is cut at 3 inches.  I used the Cricut Craft Room to make the cuts.  I also used Elegant Edges for the background mat.  I love making gate-fold cards, they are quite easy.  I stamped a sentiment inside the card using a CardzTV stamp that says "Merry Christmas".

Day after Thanksgiving when........

I hope everyone had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving.  I certainly enjoy my day.  I am truely blessed and my hope is that we all will remember to be thankful everyday, not just one day in the year.
Thanks and TATA

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow we will celebrate Thanksgiving in the USA.  Let us be mindful of those who came before us to join at the dinner table and give thanks for blessings of family, food and friendship.  Wonder what it would be like if those pilgrams and Indians had not decided that our world is full of good things and that we should all get along and share our bountiful blessings?
I am so blessed with 4 great children, 2 son-in-laws and 2 daughter-in-laws and 7 wonderful grandchildren.
My blessing to all is to treasure your family, give thanks for your blessings and share something with someone.

Paper Cutz Let's Talk Turkey!

Here's my turkey, staring at you saying "please don't eat me"!  I did this activity with a Creative Kutz design project.  This was fun to do.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, I am so blessed in my life and I pass on many blessings to all.

Creative Kutz Wreath

I decided to venture into some paper crafts and digi stamps.  I made this wreath using patterns from Creative Kutz along with a digi stamp from the Creative Kutz site. This was a fun project to do along with a group of other ladies.  The projects are on FB: Creative Kutz page!

Second Christmas Card for 2011

Here is another card I did for the cattlemen silent auction. I got the cow from Country Life and remembered that My Pink Stamper had a cute sentiment, "Have a moo-velous day" so I used that stamp and added Holi to day!! I am still looking for "cow ideas" if anyone has suggestions, please pass along to me!!
