Christmas Door Hangers!

Just in the Nick of time! I made a couple Christmas door hangers ~ one for work and one for our front door! All the letters are from the cricut! "have a" and the "J" in Jolly are Gypsy font. The M in Merry is from Hannah Montana (it is a really cool font and you don't have to like the show to like the cartridge!), H is from story book and the rest of the letters in jolly, merry, happy are from Base Camp. Holiday is from Alphalicious.

I used a potpourri of paper that I had lying around ~ I got out a bunch of Christmas paper when I made cards (which I think totalled somewhere just under 100!). I'm going to start early next year (I've got 4 left over from this year so that is a good start)!




Merry Christmas!!

2S4Y - Laura Sketch 41 - Another Christmas Card

I'm still working on Christmas stuff!!! I feel so unorganized this year!

Here is my take on Laura's Sketch 41. I made 12 of these and have more stuff cut out to make some more! I really like the pink for Christmas!

I did manage to finally get my packages mailed today so I just need to get some more cards mailed and ready to take to work!

Take care and have a great weekend!

Card Patterns #44 and Count Down to Christmas Calendars

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I worked on Disney scrapbooks and Christmas cards and cleaned house!!! I'm sure you can guess what was my least favorite thing!

Here is my card for Card Patterns Sketch 44. I used Basic Gray fruitcake paper for the background and the "Christmas Stamp" paper is Graphic 45 (I'm so loving Graphic 45 right now and the nostalgic look). The snow flake was cut out of sparkly paper with the cricut solutions cartridge, When it is Cold Outside (I just got it in the mail yesterday!). I added a green button with red skinny ribbon and a making memories stick pin. The top ribbon I just got at Michaels (1/2 price with 15% off tonight!!).


I finished these 2 Countdown to Christmas calendars today also. Michaels had a demo of countdown calendars but they did not have any of the round favor containers or the smaller wooden wreath so I had to improvise with hearts and a bigger wreath.

The first one is for my daughter so I used pastel reindeer paper and used all pastels. I cut the numbers with cricut Don Juan.






For my son's, I used more traditional colors.

They both have yummy candy in them: cookies and creme, peppermint patties, rolos, and reeses peanut butter bells.

Hopefully they won't get into them before the 12 days of Christmas!!!

Hope everyone has a great week!

2S4Y - Christmas "card" Booklet for Family!

This week I used Laura's sketch 40 combined with a little idea from JoAnn.com to come up with my x-mas cards for my close family. I only plan to make 20 of these because they are a little bit of work!

The "wishlist" tag is something that I had in my stash. The patterned paper is all from Basic Grey Fruitcake (I've been hoarding it for awhile!) and the little santa is from Graphic 45. I used a border punch, regular ric rac, and a cool brad from K and Company that I picked up packages on clearance after Christmas last year at Michaels.

The first picture is the cover.


Here it is with all 4 panels. The booklet pages are 4 X 4 so I printed the pictures as "index prints."

The 2009 is from the cricut Graphically Speaking cartridge.

This last picture shows how the ribbon can be tied around the booklet to keep it together.

It was a very fun project (hope it is as fun for the next 19).

I'm looking forward to the next sketch because I have lots more cards to design and make!!! Nothing like waiting till the last minute!
