I really love that first one :-)

See you soon!

I’m going to be starting off with the cards I made with American Crafts’ Merrymint line. It’s last year’s Christmas line, but it’s just oh so cute I had to use it instead of saving it like I did last year. So, let’s go and see them!

Both of these cards have poinsettias on them-one I punched out with a die, and another I got from a bunch I purchased at Michaels way back when. I always use a few of the Michaels poinsettias every year, but I think this is my best use of them so far.

I just love these Christmas colors!

(On a related note, I’m finally old enough to remember what happened ten years ago with some clarity. Where does the time go?)

I don’t even know what this line is called, but I loved it when I first saw it and haven’t used it since. And with me not being near a scrapbook store anymore, I decided to use what I hadn’t all this time. And you know what? I forgot how much I love MAMBI’s dimensional stickers!

My friend liked this last one so much, she asked for it specifically as her Christmas card!

See you soon!

School’s winding down here, so I’m taking a quick break to FINALLY start posting my Christmas cards for the year! I have 20 or so cards to share with you this year, and having a dead camera does not help in that. Luckily I got the situation fixed and I’m ready to post up some of my most favorite cards, ever!

Since I posted cards I made with this collection on World Cardmaking Day, I decided to go ahead and use American Crafts’ I Do wedding line for Christmas cards. At first I was adamant about not buying any new seasonal things, but as you’ll see soon, I caved in :-)

This first card got attacked by spaghetti sauce recently, but at least I have a picture of it!

I’ve been wanting to share pics for a while, but the rechargable batteries for my camera died and I haven’t been able to replace them. Since the last post I’ve made a slew of cards I hope to share with you as soon as I’m able. In the mean time, though, here are some I forgot to share!

So I guess this is now an older line, but these cards are made with Cosmo Cricket’s The Boyfriend line, which I just realized came out maybe a year ago. Doesn’t matter. I still love it! When I first saw it I thought about how hipster-y it was… and how age-appropriate it was, at least for me, since I’m so young and all :-) You wouldn’t know it, though, from the paper I pick!

Simple simple simple, but they’re some of my recent favorites! And soon, you’ll be seeing Hipster Snowmen! I’m so excited to share them with you!

They looked like weirdly shaped cotton swabs to meet at first, LOL :-) Then I thought about it and I was thinking that maybe if I didn’t know what to do with them individually, maybe I might be able to figure out how to use them together. It’s more or less the same layout as the card before, just a bit different.

I think it’s just loverly :-)

See you later!

Granted, I like cats, for the most part. I’m just afraid of their claws that retract and come out whenever they touch you, and scratch you. But I bought the sticker pack for the card I posted here, and since I didn’t know what I would use it for right off the bat, I used it first. And you know what? I like(d) this card!

Liked, because it disappeared almost immediately after I made it! (Sorry for the little sun flare on the corner!)

So cute, it didn’t even need a sentiment :-)

Thanks for stopping by!!!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, hasn’t it? I’ve been super super busy, but I have been making a few cards here and there. I’m hoping that now that I’m an eighth of the way to a graduate degree, I’ll be able to have a little more free time to craft up cute things like this! This one is made with a Woolie from Basic Grey’s Olivia collection. Isn’t it just so cute?

I think I just have to keep reminding myself that this graduate degree will be worth it in the end :-)

Have a great day!

These cards all feature American Crafts’ I Do line… and the first time I saw it, I wasn’t sure how I could incorporate it into non-wedding designs. (And this is coming from a girl who really loves really girly patterns and colors!) But once I dug my hands into it, I realized how versatile it really is! Take a look!

That last one is probably my favorite :-)

I’m crossing my fingers that I get some new crafting supplies this week, so I can get some more inspiration. I have a backlog of product that I didn’t get to play with just yet, so I’m hoping to catch up creatively before I forget about all of it!

See you soon!

Grad school is chugging along quite slowly and with no shortage of difficulty, so I decided to take a quick break and post the last of my We R Memory Keepers cards! Hope you enjoy them!

I’m really, really in love with that last one! The first two were picked up by my friends Anne and Ivy after I let them go through my card stash ;-)

See you soon!
