Grandmother frame artwork

I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since I've posted last.  I've been very busy though!  The first of December I got a new cutting machine...the Sizzex Eclips!  It's been so much fun creating new stuff!  Now I can cut SVG files on vinyl, YIPEE!  This was my first project.  Rather ambitious I have to say, but it turned out pretty good.  It was a gift for my Mother for Christmas.

LOVE these PEEPS!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #62 - Christmas card

Well, I'm barely getting this one in under the gun.  I made it for Freshly made sketches challenge #62.  Thanksgiving is over, I made a trip up to Salem and back in one day and sat down with a few minutes to myself tonight!  What a great week!

I made this nifty little card using my cricut, of course.  I am thinking about purchasing another cutting machine (I can't believe I'm admitting this on-line).  So if anyone has any input I'm looking at the Sillhouette Cameo or the Sizzix Eclips.  I'm stuck and could use help here!  Anyhow, back to this card, I used the Winter Frolic cart for the trees and the Designer's Calender for the number circle.

CWC #112 and SSSC172

This card I made for two challenges.  One is the Sweet Sunday Sketch #172, or SSSC172.  I love the sketch challenges!  The other is for Cooking with Cricut Challenge #112.  CWC's challenge is "I feel the LOVE" project card outreach and these cards go to children that are hospitalized during the holiday season in California.  Is that awesome or what?

I made this card using the Winter Frolic cart for the Snowman and Artiste for the tag.  I think any child would LOVE a snowman, right?

Polar bear christmas

I found this card design at: http://onehappystamper.typepad.com/stamping_inspirations_wit/2010/11/polar-bear-blessings.htmlI thought it was stinkin' cute I had to scrap-lift it, but want to give credit to this talented lady!  So if you want to how-to's, skip on over to her web site.  She gives details!

Baby Buggy

On October 11, 2012, I became a grandma again for the 3rd time!  Another baby boy!  Very exciting.  He came a month ahead of time, coinsidentally on the same day my third son was getting married, so the 10-11-12 date is especially special to us!  He is strong and healthy and that's all we need, however the babes needed clothes.  So I packed up a box of preemie clothes and sent it off to Arizona with this little card to go with it!

I cut the buggy from the Designer's Calender cartridge (which I love) and the Sweet One stamp is vintage stampin up called So Many Scallops.

Freshly Made Sketches challenge #60

Here's my entry for Freshly Made Sketches.  The idea is to keep it "clean lined and fresh".  It's so hard for me not to put tons of detail on my cards, but I think this one is scaled back a bit.

I learned to use my cricut craft room today....well at least a little bit.  I still have some questions, but that's another post!  I used preserves for the avacado.  The circle is from Artiste, I love that it is a real circle!
