Quicky Get Well card

So using some scraps, my Cricut and some stickers from Joann's I quickly came up with this simple card for a co-worker who is ill.   It isn't really impressive, but I think it came out ok.

I have to start my Christmas cards soon!  I can't wait to get started!  I'm thinking about having a crafting party one night with some friends and just make cards for the Holiday season :)

When you can't craft, research!

So just having my wisdom teeth out 2 days ago, I am not to full capacity as of yet.  With that I am still in a crafting mood.  Internet research time then!  One of my frustrations of card making sometimes is that scrap pile is growing larger and then I'm not sure what to do with the scraps....  Well thanks to Brenda's blog (Scrap Happy with Brenda) I can now cut out 3 cards from one sheet of 12x12 paper!  I was so excited to find this tutorial that I just had to share it!  Thanks Brenda for sharing this photo and the how to!  This will definitely come in handy as I progress in my card making!!!

Last weekend I went Joann's and found some pretty good stuff!  Hopefully I will get to craft a little this week since the hubby is at New Teacher Training until Wednesday!  Now if only the puppy and my teeth will allow this to happen...  Hopefully new cards will be coming at you soon!  Thanks for reading!

Fall Card Collection 1

Fall Greeting Cards Starters!

To start off this blog I thought I would start with my current project.  I am working on cards to send out for Halloween/Fall.  Each card is pretty small and basic but I can't say that I am not loving them!!  My plan is to work on a few every once and awhile and by the time the end of October rolls around I hope to have a pretty good collection to start sending out!  After these will come my Christmas card collection!  :)  Now only if I had more FALL/HALLOWEEN stamps, I could get even more creative... hmm I think I know what I will be looking for at the craft stores : D  Bring on the pumpkins and leaves!  I am ready to get crafty!
