Happy New Year!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and the New Year is treating you well. I thought I would post the easel calender cards I popped in the mail today for my 2 buddies. I have seen these all over the internet and thought it would be fun to give them as little New Years gifts eveybody needs a new calender in January. I always love easel cards because they give the receiver a different way of displaying their cards. Both cards were made from my scrap bin and the calender was from splitcoastampers blog in the forums section under templates/downloads. You can also find the directions for making the easel card there under resources at the top of the page super easy. The frame around the first card was cut with my silhouette. The second cards scalloped circles were made using nestibilities. I hope you will give these cards a try.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Thank Goodness for my silhouette or I would never had got my christmas cards done and I still barely made it. With work and all the things that go along with this Holiday Season( shopping , shopping ,shopping ) I had a hard time getting my cards done. Of course I had planned to have them done by October but.............they got done 12/19. I still have lots of wrapping to do so better make this short .
Have a Wonderful Holiday Season Everyone!!

Thanksgiving

I don't normally send out thanksgiving cards but I really like Beccy's digi designs and wanted to use them on a card. If you have not visited Beccy's place blog you are missing out on some wonderful and Free!! digi's. I felt this image was so wonderfully done on her site that I had to give it a try. I hope you like it I used the same image on various layouts. I hope the recepients enjoy them too.

Tilda in a Basket

I love these sitting Tilda's there are so many options you have of where you can sit them. I chose this basket stamp that I have had for some time now . I usually fill the basket with flowers or some times a peeping pup. This Tilda I thought would be perfect for a birthday basket she already has on her party dress. The background paper is glitter too bad it does not show up well on photos it adds so much to the card. I used MS lattice punch for a decorative touch to this easel card. Tilda is attached with foam dots for added dimension . Thanks for stopping by.

Treat Bag Tilda

www.magnolia-licioushighlites.blogspot.com challenge this month was to use a paper bag for your project with a autum theme with your Magnolia stamps. I chose tilda on a broom for a Halloween theme. I added the silhouette of the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz and some small stamped spiders. I first covered the front of the bag with purple cardstock to use as a background on my paper bag. Tilda is colored with copic markers the witch silhouette was cut with the silhouette machine. Sorry for the blurry photo but thanks for stopping by.

Another Baby Project

Hi just a quick post to show you another baby name plaque. This one is for my neighbor who brought home her baby boy named Kaiden. His nursery is a animal theme so I did the plaque accordingly. I added a stamp with a baby verse and also added a stamp that says all boy. Told you this would be quick if you want to see the other baby plaques I made click here and here

Hello Halo

I just finished making birth announcements for my grandaughter her parents have not had a chance to have professional photos taken yet so I used my camera for some quick shots. Needless to say there is a reason we pay professionals to take photos especially of infants after about 50 shots I finally got one I liked. You would think my battle was over but then printing at home it was almost impossible to get her coloring to print out correctly. I gave up on trying to get her hair color correct (a sandy auburn). Making the actual annoucements were a breeze I used scrap paper , ribbon and lace ,MS lattice punch and a flower punch. This 2 pocket card uses very little paper and is kind of a mini version of these annoucements I made a while back for a friend but not quite as substantial . The pattern for the annoucements only takes a 5 1/2 x 10 1/2 piece of paper, 2 score lines at 3 1/2 and 7 ,two cuts a couple of folds and you are done. If you would like the complete instructions check here. Thanks for dropping by Alicia
