A Serene Christmas

A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Lora and I spent a nice Friday afternoon making cards for my Grandma's Bazaar. Thank you Lora; my Grandma will LOVE them all!!

I made a card pack (of 6) for Grandma's sale. It will be the first weekend in November.


Of course, they are all slightly different...that's how us random girls roll!


I also busted out my Patterned Pines stamp set and made these. I just remember how this set totally had me at hello! But then so did the Serene Snowflakes. Perhaps my "hello"s are pretty easy to have. Well, I do talk to strangers!



Oh Merry Christmas in June!!

Christmas Card

Nope, I'm not this far ahead... yet!

This is a card from a 6-pack I made for my Grandma's Church Bazaar last fall.

Other than the thank you cards for our wedding, this was one of the first cards I had made.

Not too shabby for a beginner if I do say so!

I cut the snowman out with my Cricut, pieced the scarf and hat with random paper from my stash. The eyes are brads from my stash and I embossed the snowflakes from SU's Serene Snowflakes set (I must say... I LOVE that set!!).

Sizzix Snowman from Terrie

*This is snowman is the first thing I cut with my new Big Kick that I got for Christmas (Thank you, MIL)!

*Terrie, over at CardMaker sent me the die- Thank you Terrie! The card is leaning in a 'twig' picture frame; I am still working on a good backdrop for photographing my creations!

*This card is a prototype for some that I will be sending to Grandma's Bazaar this fall.

Cards for Grandma's Bazaar

Here are a couple of cards that I made up (6 pack of each) for my Grandma's Church Bazaar. It's a craft show/fundraiser for her United Methodist Women's Fellowship group. They were a pretty big hit; I am not sure they even made it to the event! I have already started on the cards for next year!
