and the Christmas creations continue...

 Here's a fun little tag set I made using some of my new PTI christmas sets! I love this label saying do not open until Dec 25, so cute!

 Ok, I don't think I've been this obsessed with a stamp set! I'm soo in love with this whole "in the meadow" set from PTI. I loved this particular card so much that I made 10 of them! I used some mist to add some shimmer to the background and then I used white flock to add a snow-like effect to the hills.

 This card was made using a card class kit I got from Right at Home.

And this one uses some more materials from the card kit but I added in some felt for the poinsettia and the vintage looking post card, I'm loving the vintage christmas look this year that so many companies are putting out.

Twisted Sketches #82- Orange

The twist this week for Twisted Sketches is "orange"! What a perfect time of year to incorporate a little orange into the mix! Some of the leaves have started to turn here in new england and it's been the perfect temperature all week! You can't beat fall! Our neighborhood is filled with pumpkins and various colored mums as well has hay stacks and scarecrows. So cute! Well anyway, head on over to see what the other designers have done and PLAY ALONG!!! =)

birthday card for a friend

I think it's pretty obvious who this is for, no hiding that one! Luckily she doesn't ever look at my blog...i don't think!...so I should be safe! Her birthday isn't actually for another month but I got a little eager I suppose. I totally forgot I bought this basic grey paper pack about three months ago at least and I don't think I've used it even once yet! I also forgot about my alpha blocks from PTI and I love putting people's names on cards when I think of it, especially for birthdays. I happen to find this cute little button in my stash and it actually has every color on the card on the button, amazing! I love when stuff like that happens!

More X-mas creations!

Here are some fun tags I came up with:

And here are a few more cards...

This one above I had a lot of fun making! I used a versamark pen to trace the outer edges of the marshmallows and then used glittery white embossing powder. For the jar I used glossy accents and covered the entire jar to make it look like real glass. I'm not even sure if I like the card, but at least I had fun right?!

Twisted Sketches #80- Happy

This week's twist was "happy" so I put a little spin on it and used the sentiment "smile" which I associate with being happy! It's hard to tell in this horrible picture, but the ribbon and outer border are red, I know they kind of look pink in this pic! Check out what the other designers did at www.twistedsketches.org!

Christmas sweat shop

I feel like I'm an elf working in a Christmas card making sweat shop this weekend! Here are some of them and I didn't even take the time to take this pics in my normal spot because that's downstairs which would have taken too long! These are all for the pop up shop my cards will be sold at in November in Princeton, MA.

Fall is Here!

So I told you I've been busy making cards! Here are a few fall inspired cards I made last week- two of which are for friends who both just bought a house. The materials are all from a monthly card class I normally take (but haven't made it in a couple months due to wedding/travel mania).

Twisted Sketches #78- Verse

Oops, looks like I'm a little late on this post! About a week late! The twist last week over at twisted sketches was Verse so I chose a verse from a song- "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow". I've been in full blown Christmas card making mode for the past several weeks so it was a given that this would be Christmas themed too! I've been terrible about posting my latest creations but I'll try to get some up this weekend!
