home for the holidays

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Joking... lol

With the heat we have been having remember that winter, snow tires, salting, shoveling etc. is just around the corned and then the heat doesn't seem that bad!!!

So with Christmas being only 6months away I am trying to get stated on my cards

Mary From Cardz TV is having a challenge to use an animal on the card

I used a free digi from the Alley Way stamps who has asked us to be inspired by the below picture  which inspired me with the little sled and pulling him home.... alley way asks that you use their stamps - since I only have the free ones and I wanted mine to stick out I went with the Fish going home for the holidays!!!  

(i thought it was cute)

 See the little hat I made with my cricut cartridge 3 birds on parade 

 Annabelle Stamps has a challenge to use snowflakes - hense the pattern paper 

I love to work with Sketches and found this one from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown

 some stickles for his hat and bling for around... turned out fab!!

April Showers bring May Flowers - LMCB

Hello everyone !
Welcome back to another challenge at Lasting memories!
This week we are looking for you to show off those rainy day photo’s or those gorgeous blooms this week!

 As you can see I picked rainy spring days.  I started with CTMH blue paper spritzed the paper with smooch spritz to add some drops and glitter - it is hard to see but it looks really good.  Added the imaginisce shower paper.  Used my EK punch for the ribbon under the pics. 

 I used my glass pen from Viva to accent the rain drops.  Of course my trusty Cricut and the 3 birds on parade cartridge for the title and the little bird with the umbrella.

I would love for you to all join us at Lasting Memories and good luck in the draw
