For my little Elfer

Made this for my youngest DGD who is 3....she is such a character and full of life. She thinks she is a little princess so I thought this little graphic fit her perfectly. I am really glad to have all my Christmas crafting done. Graphics are from Carolee Jones, "Santa's little Elfers".

A Little light for the Holidays

I love the rainy weather we are having and I have been blessed to be off work for the last 3 days, so I have put it to good use crafting, and finishing my shopping. Made this for youngest son's girlfriend, used Laurie Furnell's graphic, made the snowflake on the wishblade and just added glitter. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas ! TFL

For my Dear Grand-daughter

This is the ornament I made for my oldest DGD, she is such a special young lady....

this is made on a piece of acrylic, I cut the fringed paper for the snowman on the wishblade, and tried my hand at quilling the snowflake.

Tis the Season !

Each year since I have been crafting I make an ornament for the kids tree, well this year DGD asked if I would make them each one with their names on them instead of a family one. Here is the one I made for my oldest DGS. Graphics use are "Cold Hands Warm Heart" by Doodle Bee Art Studio you can find it here. I hope each and everyone of you have the Best Christmas Season !

Tag Bag and Snowman

I love this time of year I think it is my favorite actually. I really enjoy making little things to bring a smile to someone's face. I made this as a little thank you gift. The little bear is from Colleen Parry's Christmas goodies collection, and I got the template for the tag bag from Laurie Furnell's blog. Laurie is also the creator of the candy wrapper. Hope you all are having a great day and looking forward to a Memorable Holiday Season.

Christmas is in the Air

This is another card I did for the swap at Aimee Asher, saw this idea in Card Maker Magazine. It is a very fun and easy card to make.

Flapper Hat

Made this little card for a swap on the Aimee Asher site. I rec'd a similar one from a friend and so I just made this little template up on the wishblade and this is what I came up with.

The Witch is In !

This is the first Halloween card I have ever made....sure had fun with it. The web is raised with the webbing behind it. All of the graphics are raised and were cut with the wishblade, it just amazes me how small this thing will cut. You can find the graphics for this card at PC Crafter.

Just enjoying some me time

I had such a nice relaxing day today just doing whatever I felt like, don't seem to have alot of those days here lately. The weather is so beautiful and there was a nice breeze today so I had all the windows and doors open. I made this for a little prize for one of the craft boards I am on, it was so easy and fun. Graphics are "Rustic Fields" by Doreen Stolz. I just love the colors in this they are so calming. You can find the instructions for this little diaper fold pouch here. I hope you all have a great weekend and are able to find so me time for yourselves !

Just another little card for a special friend

This is a combination of a card from Kizzy Dizzy Designs and Ronna Penners Pocket full of Posies kit. I just love these colors. You can find these sets at the Amiee Asher site. TFL

Diva Spa Kit for Secret Pal @ work

I had lots of fun making this little kit. Behind the history of the Dead Sea Salts are some note cards and a receipe to make your own bath salts. The little envie has a tea bag in it and I am also going to put some chocolates in there for her also. I used Sandy Osborns Diva Totable Spa Kit you can find it a Amiee Asher and I also used Amiee Ashers Playful flowers kit

A little Happy Fall card

This is another card I made for the challenge at the Amiee Asher site. the scarecrows are raised for depth. Graphics are Scarecrows by Laurie Furnell you can find her work at PC Crafter.com

Thanks for looking and have a great crafting day !

Grate Fall 4 U

I made this little card for a challenge on the Aimee Asher site, the challenge was a great motivator for me as I really needed to make some cards for some dear friends. This will be going to a very special lady who has been a great support for me in the last couple of months. The graphics are Grate Fall critters by Carolee Jones from the PC Crafter site. TFL

Little Kit Kat holder

I saw this on one of the craft boards I visit, and thought it was a cute idea....it holds a kit kat bar or a pack of gum. I made a GSD file for those who would like it you can find it here . The graphic and background paper are from Laurie Frunell's Hoppin' Halloween you can find her artwork at PC Crafter.

Just playing around

I was just playing around and made this little goodie, I traced the graphics and cut them on the wishblade. This is a fun and easy little gift. The little post it book fits into the little scalloped purse carrier. TFL

What I have been doing

This is just a little card I made and I think it is so cute ! I cut the card out on the wishblade out of a template I made and then used the cuttlebug on the bottom part....
