I'm all done with my Christmas shopping.... I just have to wrap them!!! Cutting it too close, but at least it's out of the way. Just have to have the yearly family Christmas photo, so I can mail out my Christmas cards.

I love how Nancy always have a recipe for her cards, so I'm copying it! LOL, it was easy to do this one, cause there's really not much to list. Let's see if I can do the next one and actually keep it up.

Holiday Greetings

Glitter paper that I love! I believe it's Martha Stewart..... I really have to do a better job listing all the items I used when I create a card. The sad part is.... every time I check out a card, the first thing I look for is the recipe. Such double standard of me don't you think?

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Hate the paper!

Doodle Bug glitter paper..... was nice when I bought it.... half of the glitter came off after I grabbed it from the shelf... more of it came off after cutting it.... all of it came off when I glued it.

Other than that.... I love the die by PTI.

Simple one...

Another simple card... buttons are my new friends. It's about time.... I've only been hoarding them for years now!

Thanks for bloggin' by!

The best one...

Out of all 10 cards we did today... this one is my favourite! Very simple, elegant and easy to put together. The ladies love this one the best too.

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Plenty of time.....

My card making class is this Sunday and I have 3 cards done! Woo Hoo!! I actually had to put the book I'm reading last night and managed to do 3 more cards. Still have 4 more cards and I think I will be able to do that Saturday. Nothing like leaving it till the very last minute!

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Clean and Simple

Love the sketch by FTL 117. Clean & Simple and easy to make. Of course we are going by quantity and lots of it.... I am using all of my punches and very small amount of stampin'.

I have started my Christmas Cards the beginning of this year (5 cards per month) and so far I have total of 80 cards. But.... I have been invited to this Christmas Craft Fair today to sell home made cards and I might end up with zero card for my self. I might load up on meds again and hope to create 40 cards in one night to catch up.

Happy Holidays

Just love the design of this punch by EK success along with the paper by me&my Big ideas.

Mojo Madness

Just some upclose pics from my Friday Mojo Madness.

Simple stampin' and lots of punching!!

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Mojo is back!

Look at me go!! I did 40 cards yesterday when I'm supposedly sick with a cold. I have been taking Cold-FX and been going to bed early so I can go to our Calgals. Of course I had to cancel the day before and then to find out I have all that energy the night of. Over all.... it was good crafting at home cause there's no way I can come up with 2 cards at our Calgals.

This one is my favourite! I used Martha Stewart snowflake punch with PTI stamp.

Sweet N Sassy

Another glitter card for you. Still have to make more Christmas cards, but so far the one I've created are not the ideal card to mass produce. I also have my class next month and of course we are making Christmas cards. I will try and start that early instead of waiting till the very last minute.

Bright and Merry

Glitters and more glitters! Another Mojo sketch for you..... I like this one though. I just hate it when there's more glitter on me than on the card.

What do you think of the big bow?? I don't really like it, but since it's my first attempt crafting again.....I guess I shouldn't complain. It was painful! Even with the sketch, it was a struggle to complete this one.

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Calgals

It's pretty sad that I'm just posting my card from our last month's Calgals. I borrowed everything except for the image. Thanks ladies!

Tonight I'm going to craft!! I'm going to sit in my craft room and make something. I have no books to read and I think I'm gonna have a better chance of crafting this time. LOL, I can just see it now... I'll probably end up re-organizing my craft room.

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Happy Halloween!

My girls can't wait for Halloween!! They been asking to decorate the house, but I didn't wan to dig for our Halloween stuff. I know... I know... I'm such a bad mom.

After a day of nagging and whining..... My oldest one finally convinced me to get some pumpkins. We didn't buy the real one for I wanted to be able to use them again for next year.

We got the pumpkins from Michaels where they are 60% off and I used my HotMarks instead of the Pumpkin Carving kit.

It was actually very easy....

and fun!

Sorry I have no card for you... I have been trying, but my MOJO is gone and it's also hard to concentrate when all I want to do is read. Another Vampire story by Karen Marie Moning, I have total of 4 books to read and I'm on the 4th one. Maybe I'll be able to craft then once I'm done.....

Thanks for bloggin' by!

My oh my!

It has been almost a month since I have posted a card..... can't believe it has been that long. I do have a MOJO card for you though... I must warn you, it's half of the sketch... but since I haven't been crafting for a while, thought it should be OK.

I have been busy reading Sherrilyn Kenyon's books. So far I have read 13 out of 19 Dark Hunter novel. Hoping I will soon be back to my regular crafting.....Tomorrow is CALGALS and I'm looking forward to that! The last time we did Calgals was May 28!!!! Hoping it will be a good night for crafting with less gabbing and snacking. Yeah right!!! who am I kidding? I'll pack everything I own and then just sit there and watch them all craft.

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Thanks so much

Wowser! The only card I can come up with this weekend and believe me... I struggled big time. My craft room is a mess and my mojo sketch for this week is still waiting on my table. Not that I have any idea how I'm gonna do the sketch!!

This one is for The Sweet Stop Sketch challenge. I'm not liking it at all, but I guess it will do since MOJO is no where near my craft room.

The Best of the Season

OH Yeah.... The cards I'm sharing with you is the last set of Christmas cards I did last weekend. It's very BRIGHT.So far I have total of 40 Christmas cards (5 cards per month) and just have to do one more to be up to date and back on track.

This one if for the High Hope Challenge "Spots or dots" and The pixie cottage sketch challenge.

Christmas cards

Here's the second set of Christmas cards I made over the weekend. I still have another set for tomorrow's post. I'm just trying to catch up and have to take advantage while the Christmas mojo is around.

Lots of layering.... and Martha Stewart punches. The sketch is by Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Happy Monday

Monday morning to you all!! It was a good weekend for me... I did nothing but Christmas cards.

This one is for Penny Black Saturday Challenge "Men/Boys card", Christmas Stampin All Year Long "Brad or Eyelet" and The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.

Pollycraft Challenge

Here's my take on Christmas with NO green or red. It's odd to see Christmas card without the usual green or red, but I kind a like this purple number. I still need to keep up with my Christmas stash, but this one is not simple enough to mass produce.

You're in my prayer

Our good friend's Mom passed away last Sunday the 5th of September. She will be missed.... specially when we do our quarterly card making here at my house.

I used Monday Mojo sketch and Flourishes challenge "Rustic Beauty" for this card. I did a lot of distressing and I also used my favourite technique, Distress ink with Alcohol Blending Solution. I stamped the image three times and then layered the flowers to give it some 3d. I also heat embossed the flowers so I can shape them for easy layering.

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Happy Friday

What a week!!! Thank God it's Friday and it's also a long weekend for us. My last card to share with you.... I have been busy with back to school and friends staying at our place, that I haven't craft since Tuesday.

I just love this digi image from Di's Digi Downloads. I also used my favorite paper by Daisy Bucket and Martha Stewart's corner and border punch. The sketch is by A Spoon full of Sugar

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Nature

Pollycraft's challenge is to add anything nature and I combined it with Sketch and Stash Challenge sketch.

I didn't do much layering except for the flower and butterfly.

I'm scheduling this post for tomorrow and tonight is the last day of freedom. The girls will have to get up early for school.... now that school is back, they will probably want to sleep in. My BIG girl is in grade 1!! I can't believe it... She's not looking forward to going back to school because she doesn't know who her teacher is, where her classroom is and who's in her class. We don't understand why the school have it set like that... poor kids are having anxiety attack for not knowing what's out there and what to expect. I hope it's not gonna be that crazy at the school....lol! who am I kidding?

PBSC and SSSC

Summer Luvin' is the challenge for PBS and I used SSC sketch with it. I had to cut the image out because I got ink all over the bottom part and it all happened just right after I finished colouring. Gota love that eh?

Close up picture of the flowers. I used my favourite paper "Daisy Bucket" and layered with PTI paper.

WOYWW! My craft room is a mess from last night's crafting. I did total of 3 cards though...
