For all you pet lovers....

I just finished these two cards and thought they turned out really cute. I'll have to send the cat one to my daughter....she has two cats except they are both black and white. Graphics for both are by Cheryl Seslar of Raggedy Scrappin. Both cards have 3D cutouts on the front and inserts on the inside to match the frame on the outside. Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs,

Christmas in July!!!

I have been working on Christmas cards all week and thought I would post just a few of them. Some are a work in progress...I have the basic card done but need to add a few embellishments to some.

I found these really nice cards at Joann's...heavy textured cardstock and very sturdy kraft envelopes. The Santa's and angels are both from Whimsy Primsy and the Snowman and Gingerbread man are from Cheryl Seslar. Sorry the pictures are a little fuzzy....I just got a new camera and need to get used to it.

Thanks for looking and come back soon.

It's getting really hot here so I'm spending all my time inside crafting. I'll be back to post some more of my projects soon.

Two new sets now available

You can find them here. Both sets come with inserts to make a traditional greeting card or a baby shower invitation.....even a blank one to add your wording. While you are there be sure to check out Karel's cute baby cards too. I just love her diaper cards!

More cards finished....

I got a little sidetracked with my cardmaking but I did manage to finish a few I thought I would post. The birthday card graphic is by Laurie Furnell at PCCrafter. It's a two "layer" cake with stickles on the flames. The other 3 cards are a set that I did for Karel and will hopefully be available soon in her shop. (the original artwork is by Gail Eads of Country Life Graphics) All three can be layered for a 3D effect and come with inserts and matching envelopes. Coming soon.....more baby cards and of course, Christmas!!

Today I played with paperdolls.........

I remember when I was a young girl one of my favorite things was paperdolls. Back then they were actually made from paper and had little paper tabs that folded down to keep the clothes on the doll. Yesterday I made magnetic paperdolls. I got these cuties from Cheryl Seslar at Raggedy Scrappin . I printed them out on my computer then ran them through my Xyron machine with the laminate/magnet cartridge. Then I decorated this cute little lunchbox tin to put them in.

Now I'm working on more cards so hopefully will have some to post tomorrow.

Hugs,

I don't have any more craft shows to do until the fall so..............I'm working on Christmas crafts today!!! Here are a few of the tags I have finished so far. The chickens are not really Christmas, I just liked them and will probably add them to my Etsy store. All the graphics are by Cheryl Seslar.

Which set is your favorite? Mine is the gingerbread men.......no....the penguins......or maybe the chickens. Oh, I can't decide!!!

Hugs,
