Oh Deer its christmas already

Happy Wednesday!! Tomorrow is my last day at work until vacation =) Super excited!! So the news says that its going to be a white Christmas night until Sunday. So we will see hopefully. I'm shocked that Christmas is here. I am glad when its over though so that I dont have to buy any more gifts. This year I am making homemade items for my parents and friends. I will be make some Maizena men which are cookies that I used to purchase in Holland. I will also make Chocolate and add crunched up chocolate milk nuts. I figured everyone would love but I have to make something special for my boyfriend. He is very picky with food. Do any of you out there no how obnoxious that is sometimes.

Well off to the card for today. I created a custom card for my dad to mail out to his family. I love the reindeer that has ornaments wrapped around him. I stamped Merry Christmas and then added clear blings to the word. Hope you like it and I will post some snow pics and the goodies that I will make on friday. Have a good rest of the day.

Well today I started my new job checking patients their insurance. Pretty easy!!! Hopefully soon I can make enough on my craft to work from home =) . Well today I created a super adorable card. I love all the white space on the card. I bought the red ornament stickers from Michael's which was like .45 cent..so I gladly grabbed 2 packs of those. I took my marker and just drew in some swirls to add a hang effect. And to top it off I used my pretty bakers twine ribbon which always adds such a good feeling.

I'm Back!!!!!

Im Back....A lot of things have been going on lately. 1 being that I didn't have internet connection (which I must say was super obnoxious) thats why I haven't posted anything lately. This weekend I celebrated christmas with my girlfriends with our tradition in making and decorating cookies. We started this tradition about 2 Christmases ago when my girlfriend got pregnant. Ever since then the first year we made a gingerbread house which had too much icing and some of the sidings to the house was hard. Last year we made gingerbread men and well lets just say they came out really fluffy hehe... So this year we decided to be safe and make decorated sugar cookies. What did you guys make for the holidays?

My girlfriend asked if I could make same goodie bags for her office so I made 25 gift card toppers that were all different and must I say super adorable. I added 3D adhesive to the words in the front which made it look even cuter.

These are some of them

And these...

Love and other drugs

Yesterday my girlfriends treated me to the movies which was "Love & other drugs" That movie touched me so much. It felt real and they did a great job with the movie. It was very touching and kept me smiling the entire day. This is a must see!!! - If you haven't seen it already!!! What was you guys favorite part in the movie. Mine was when Jack was in the tube and Anne was outside of it. They were having a conversation and it felt so real how they working looking at each other. Great acting.

Well today I created a super cute card to add to my christmas card collection. I found the super cute sticker in my craft stash the other day, its too cute. I wrote in "Merry Christmas"

Thank you for coming to check me out. Have a great rest of a Sunday!

Winter Wonderland - Day 5

Good Sunday! It is freeeeezing outside and becoming more and more difficult to take walks with my (little girl) Westie Khloe ! She is the cutest thing ever!! She enjoys watching tv (animal planet (ofcourse) and cartoons. She keeps herself entertained with a sock :) . The cutest thing she does is when I tell her to look she snaps her head right away to look what I am trying to show her. Shes almost acts like a human. For all the animal lovers, what makes them so enjoyable?

So today I created a card to go with the freezing weather outside. I used my Thickers (Rockabye) and wrote the wonderland myself. For some reason the thickers kept falling off so I landed up gluing them on there. I then stamped my snowflake stamp that I purchased at Michaels and cut around it and added 3D adhesive on the back. You know I love something to pop out of the card.

I used K&Company decorative paper which had some great borders. I cut along the line which gave it a great look due to the border not being a straight line.

Challenges Entered:

Bee Crafty - winter but NOT christmas

Materials Used:

Letters: Rockabye Chip Board (Thickers)

Pen: white (inkssentials)

Paper: Gray (Bazill Basic)

Brenda Walton Peppermint Twist Candy Stripes (K & Company)

white (Recollection)

Thank you for looking and have a great rest of a Sunday!

Day 4 - I love presents

Yesterday I stated how I have been making too many girly holiday cards. So today I picked some colors and images to make a masculine card. It was actually pretty easy. I used one of my sketches that I drew in my sketchbook. When I search other challenges, I like to draw my favorite sketches that I can use in the near future. It's great to do that because I know I have creative pauses sometimes.

I thought it was cute to make the presents to the side plain and make the one in the middle super colorful.

I added some gems which added a little pizazz :)

Materials Used:

Paper: tan (Bazzil basic)

christmas paper stack (DCWV)

Ribbon: green and white(bakers twine)

Border: Scallop with circle (Fiskar)

Pen: white (inkssentials)

Marker: R29, G07, C1, W5 (Copic)

Well let me know what you think. Untill tomorrow

Day 3

Thank you for checking my out for another day. Remember I will be posting a new card everyday until Christmas.

*quick mention* I noticed that I have been only making cards that would attract females. I have to start making some male cards as well, which I have to think hard on. Does anyone else have this problem?

I added 3D adhesive to the candle (that I got a free svg file for :) ) to make it a little more interesting

See totally easy card that you could make yourself in minutes. Thank you again and please leave comments! Until tomorrow

Materials Used:

Machine: Cricut

Candle: svg

I wanted badly to create a house card to send out for the holidays, but I had no stamps or images. Thankfully I had my Songbird paper which are really birdhouses, but I though were super cute. I cut out 3 houses from the paper and glues them next to each other. I added 3D adhesive to the left house to make it pop out more.

Then when I decided to use my Sizzix Big Kick machine, I remembered that I lost my handle (must I say super obnoxious) So I had to go through my boyfriends tool box and find a wrench, which worked perfectly :) . Does anyone know where I can buy a handle by itself.

Last thing to show I created these pins that I wanted to use for my greeting card, which I must say were easy and quick. All you need is a needle, beads, and hot glue (easy huh ? )

These will be giving to a blog hop winner pretty soon!!

man of the house

Hello everyone! Today I worked on a card for my dad's birthday. His favorite color is purple so I had to think hard about what I could make without it being too girly. Sooo here is the steps I took to make a super cute card. Let me know what you think and also if you have tips. I love receiving comments.

Ingredients

Paper: Snapdragon purple, Carob brown, green, tan (BazzilBasicPaper)

Markers: B24,BG45,R29, R08, Y38 (copic sketch)

Stamp: Dad clear stamp (studio G), woodgrain stamp

Ink: Brown, Alabaster (color box)

Ribbon: Hemp cord 20lb

Border: scallop w/ circle (Fiskar)

Pen: white (Inkssentials)

so I started off with a purple 6X6 card

tip ** when you fold your card, bend the paper on both sides to see which one folds easier than the other. This prevents from the paper getting cracks at folded line.** - nothing like having a beautiful card with cracks on it, not pretty.

I also used my Martha Stewart bone folder and made a line at 6 inches.

then cut 4X5 inches of the brown paper, and stamped the woodgrain stamp on it. In the next picture you can see a little bit that I made the edges look I little torn and rough. I used my Fiskars knife and filed the edges then used alabaster (tan color) and marked the edges.

Last I used my Martha Stewart circle cutter which you can see in the next picture.

I drew out my own bird because I didnt have a stamp and added Man of the House. What do you think? I really liked how it turned out! Thank you for looking and come again.

Monday cards

Good Monday! How was everyones weekend. I went to celebrate my cousins birthday in Lotus (NW in DC) it was a very nice place and the first place where people were really down to earth. So if your in the area I would check it out! Well neways I worked on some cards that I made for some close family members. I think they turned out super cute!

I made this card for my grandma that lives in Utrecht, Netherlands! Its her birthday soon and the first card that I have made for her. Its so weird I make cards but almost every time still land up buying from the store. Well from now on I will use my creativity to be unique.

I embellished the card using K&Company's Handmade Mixed Petal Layered Accent. The colors matched perfectly with the color combination.

In the meantime I was contact by a nice lady to make her 14 year's old daughter 12 glee cupcake toppers. I feel really good when people ask me to create items for them.

My little foo fee - Khloe - was watching me the entire time a.k.a I need attention time.. hehe :)

This card I created for my cousins birthday (the one that I went to Lotus with) She loves clothes and pink so I wanted the card to match her personality. On the hot pink paper I took my stamp pad and brushed the edges (if you can see it) which added a lot more detail to it.

Thanks again for looking and have a great night!
