Christmas Card

I thought I was all done with my cards when I discovered that I need to make about 10 more. I don't want to make the same design that I made before because I am bored with that. So here is one I made. It is totally not my design and all credit goes to Jackie Pedro and Julee Tillman - I am just a follower - lol. I found the idea at The Scalloped Edge (just scroll down until you see her card) and she got the basic layout of the card from Julee Tillman's "Mojo Monday". Anyway, I wanted to share because I thought it was a cute card. I just used a different sized card, and different stamps. I did use the Cuttlebug but I did not have their snowflake folder, instead I used the Fiskar's snowflake embossing template it does not emboss as deep and gives it a softer touch. Oh, and I used white shimmery paper and also used a glitter pen on Santa's beard and while puffy paint on his hat, and cuffs.

Castle Birthday Cake

Grace is having her birthday party tomorrow. She turns 4. I can't believe that she is already 4 it seems like just yesterday she was a little tiny screaming baby. Time flies.

Here is the cake that she wanted me to make for her party. It was harder than I thought it would be but I think it came out ok. Grace pronounced it Prettyful. I guess it's a keeper!

Plucky

This is Plucky - I found the pattern for him in a book called Plush-O-Rama. My son is getting him for Christmas and Grace will probably get a pink girly looking one as well. Our dog loves stuffed animals and he was convinced that it was for him. Might have to make him one as well.

Getting a jump on holiday crafting

I made these ornaments today! I think they turned out pretty good for my first try. I am going to have Nick and Grace help me make some for their teachers for Christmas this year. I found the tutorial on the blog Prairie Paper & Ink . Go check out her blog, she has some good tutorials.
