card for dad

Here's a card I made for my dad for his birthday in a few days. As you may know from this blog my dad is a boat designer and loves sailing so I can't help but make him boat cards for every occasion! Because he's an engineer I also thought this paper was quite appropriate, it feels engineery to me. I love these little clear bubble pearls because they can go on anything really.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!

Last of the X-mas push for the pop up shop

So the Holly Days pop up shop started yesterday and was definitely off to a great start! The second the doors opened at 1pm a mob came piling through the door and didn't stop! I won't have the final "tally" of purchases until tomorrow so I'll keep you posted!

Here are the last of the cards I made for this event...

I have to say that there were several people who had cards at this event (luckily we all had a different style) but I didn't see many people buying cards. Hopefully that isn't the case for the whole weekend, otherwise I'm going to have a LOT of inventory left over!

Twisted Sketches #86: Shine

This week's twist was "shine" so I decided to incorporate the sentiment into the twist! I just love this umbrella set and cloud die from Papertrey Ink! Head on over to Twisted Sketches to see what the other lovely twisted sisters did this week!

CAS-ual Fridays: Tag You're it!

This week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge was to either make a tag or put a tag on a card. Because I've been in full on X-mas mode and tags are my current mission, I got to kill two birds with one stone! Yay!

It's been a long time since I've done a challenge aside from Twisted Sketches so I'm happy to hopefully be back in the sing of things here! I've missed you, challenges!

ambitious saturday!

So after I got home from being at my local scrapbook store FOR TWO HOURS with my friends Jess and Nicole, I was feeling pretty inspired! Everything posted from this point on for today's date was made yesterday! So here we go...

Yep, you got it, more Christmas!

Here's another creation from the In the Meadow set from PTI, I think I could get by with this set alone for Christmas if I really needed to. I want to eat it for dinner!

This one's pretty simple but cute. I just love this paper!

For this one I actually tried out a new technique I'd never done before. I put a piece of score tape sheet over the whole piece of red paper before I die cut it and then peeled off the protective sheet to reveal the adhesive. It made it sooo much easier to add glitter to it with even coverage! I'm also obsessed with this paper.

I don't have much to say about this one, I love the paper but I think I could have done more with the card.

This is just a quick fun one I made to create a card pack of 6.

So this is totally not my style but I actually really like the way it came out. I used materials from a card class I take which has been a great experience for me because it pushes me to use things I wouldn't normally!

Another fun little Christmas card. For some reason I'm obsessed with music note stuff for the holidays, no particular reason!

And, you got it, another in the meadow card! Haha! For this one I wanted to make a more non-traditional card so I used Autumn Rose paper and a matching shimmer mist for the bias tape ribbon. 

 

 

Ok, so this are all from the past week or so, I have like 12 more to post hopefully today. Are you sick of x-mas stuff yet! Luckily I'm not!
