Christmas Cards & Stuff :-)

I got so caught up in trying to figure what kind of cards I would make this year but in the end, I didnt send out anything. Ugh! I just ran out of time. I really need to learn how to manage my time and STAY FOCUSED! I did a few cards that I plan to either hand out or add to their gifts.

Here's a card for my Pilates instructor

A card for my Zumba instructor

Note cards & pads for a few friends.

SST Christmas and Countdown to the New Year Blog Hop!

Wow! My 1st ever blog hop! This one was organized by Nubian & Stampin Dymonz from the Sistas Scrap Too Cricut Thread. The divas of over there came together and created a Christmas and Countdown to the New Year blog hop! And I'm happy to be a part of the fun. Here is my project.

I used the Winter Frolic cartridge for "Tis The Season". The deer is an outline sticker I colored. I love those outline stickers! They are gorgeous and very easy to use. Click here if you would like to see some of the other designs....I confess, I've bought all of them :-)

There are 17 blogs in the hop, so make sure you use the links below this post to hop to all of the participating blogs. No worries if you miss one, you can always go back! These 17 divas have a lot in store for you. From exquisite creations to offers of blog candy, you will enjoy hopping your way to all of the blogs involved!

Here is my submission for this week's Platinum Scraps Challenge. This is my Cocker Spaniel, Shadow. Every so often we give in to giving him a bath. I much rather take him to the groomer (less mess) but we do a better job and I think he rather us do it anyway. This isn't a great picture; I bought a new camera and I really don't like it....Maybe Santa will hook a sista up - I think I was a overall good girl this year :-) TFL...

My Baby Girl

I normally don't post pics of my family but my heart is filled with such pride and joy, that I wanted to share this moment. I showed you the postcard I did for my daughter while she was away at Basic Training - well she graduated on Friday and I attended the ceremony in San Antonio.

To say that I'm proud of her is a gross understatement. As I'm typing this, my eyes are filled with tears of happiness. She's my first born and seeing her in uniform made me realize that she's a woman now who I'll have to let go and let grow. Wow! This will be way more difficult for me, I think, than her. But I know in time it will get easier. It has to because I can't walk around crying all the time.....people will think I'm crazy. :-)

My Sleepy Superhero

Platinum Scraps had a color challenge this week. I used pictures of my angel in last year's Halloween outfit. I was all ready to take her out and she fell asleep on me! The skyline is from the Cricut Sampler and Super Woman is a SCAL cut. Check out some of the other creations over on PS TFL....

The Fix It Guy

Earlier this month Platinum Scraps had a challenge to use Basic Grey's Vagabond paper in a layout. I used pictures of my dusty hubby for this layout. All the cuts are from the Handy Man cartridge.
