Look what I just did........!

(I just removed the pic in the side bar for this post ..)
It's in the right side of my blog... I order these Too Cute Christmass cards from Shutterfly of our pooch Belle!!!
It was a promo to order early and the first 10 were FREE... ( code: EARLYBIRD ) so I ordered 10 and just had to pay for shipping not bad really because these are really Cute...  If you want to take advantage hurry the code ends today.  They don't give much time when it's a FREE thing...
Don't know if you will be able to see the inside or not but when I get them I'll take pics and show you...
This is the first time I've order cards from them.. I know there pics always turn out great so I'm sure the cards will too...

Two more Christmas cards....

Yes, I'm on a roll now... I've got 2 more cards I can make a bunch of...
Here's the first one.
Very simple, just a IO die of a pine branch with a bow, may use red and white twine not sure yet,  and then I stamped Noel, that's it... still need to do the inside but that will be easy I hope..

here's a side view......

Now here's the other card.....
It's a stamp by Rubbernecker called pine block, I stamped it with two different colors of green then back it with red cardstock and popped it up before adding it to a layer of Merry Christmas paper. 
Think I'll add a red ribbon at the top and a Merry Christmas too..... but that's it.

here's a side view......

Will what do you think??? are these to simple?? let me know what you think.

Drum Roll Please............

Hi All,
Will today I'm bracking down and going to set my OLD cutting pad aside and start using a NEW one.....
I've been using this old one (on the left) for maybe 2 years now and noticed I have to run things thru my Big Shot a few time now.

I know your wondering what the heck the orange dots are for right?? Will I'm very visual and if I see that orange dote I know I have the right pad down to cut on. 
I think what really did it in was when I used the new Bigz dies to cut 4 sheets of paper at one time with these big dies... with it being so cut up then putting all that pressure on it I think I squished all the good out of it....
 I'll keep it to use on the Bigz dies and use the new one on all the rest.... anyway that's the plan.
How often do you change out your cutting pads for your Big Shot, Big Kick or Cricket??

Christmas Holly Branch

I know you can't tell much differenc at a quick look but if you doubble click on each pic and look at the leave you'll see I did some detail work on the vaines, don't sound like much but I just made 5 cards and doing that little bit of extra work is really time consuming.. but will worth the look in person. 


Here's a side view.......

Starting Christmas

Hi ALL...
I thought I'd show you what I've been working on.... trying to get a jump on Christmas this year...here's a few shots of my desk and the mess too.....
I did crop out a LOT of the mess.....

this is a new to me Bigz die by Tim Holtz-Holiday Wreath, I also used a TH-Embossing folder Holly Branch on the white... still have to add some bling and things this is just the base card.....Never used these Bigz dies before but like that you can cut several pices of paper at a time... still learning....

This is another TH Bigz die-Holly Branch and again I used a TH-Embossing folder Pine Branch on the white, same thing still need to add things it's just the base card.....

This is made with a Memory Box die-Frostyville Border, white on white.... not sure about the red bow yet may make it a pal blue or white with gold not sure yet .. needs some sparkle on the snow,,, but again it's just the base card.
Now I have to start finishing them off and deciding how many of each I need to make...?
Wish me luck!

Manly Birthday Card

Hi Everyone!
Today I'm posted the card I gave my hubby for his BD.... That Tri-fold card from the post just before this one was given to him but with the request that he give input on how to fix it... and boy did he give the input.... that will be the LAST time I do that.

But he did like this one Much better.....
Here's the front.... I used the SU bike set and the CTMH Remember set.... and then found some great paper I had bought a year ago for manly cards and had forgot I had it....
The inside I printed on my PC... see the blotchy white at the bottm.. will I photo touch up that to remove my words......te he....
And no he did not give any input on this one, just that he really like it... :)

Tri-flold Easl Birthday Card

Hi All!!
Today I'm posting a card I made for my Hubby's BD..... I really struggled with this one for some reason...and I'm still not to happy with it... I think it's the Grass on the inside and out.....
This is the 3rd try on this too... but anyway this is it for me on this card... I may just set it aside and make a different one for him....
Here's the front.

and this is a view of the inside stright on..... see the front in the back ground????

This is the view from one side... see the yucky grasssss.... and the 3 trees on the frist fold, then the buck on the second fold and the front of the card on the third fold.....

and the view from the other side....

here I'm laying the first 2 folds flat so it can be closed....

and here's the front folded back in place so it can be closed... it will lay flat for an enevelop but I left it puffed up so you can see the bends...
I'm going to try another one of these just not for a week or two... I had to start over too many times on this one and will it leave alot to be desired.....
If you want to see a really GOOD example of this card here's the LINK to Pam Sparks BEAUTIFUL card and she has a video too... you really need to vist her site it's just so much Fun to see.
