Just Around the Corner...

I can hardly believe that summer is over. It's been pretty chilly and miserable in my parts of the woods. I know it's officially autumn but we all know it's really just a nicer name for winter. It's so so cold today that I just want to stay in bed. It did have me thinking that Christmas will be coming soon. This year my Christmas is going to be very special. I'll tell you all about it when it's over. At least that is one good thing about winter.

I've been slowly working on ideas for Christmas cards. This year I'm making a bunch for D to give out and a few for myself to give away. Here are a couple fun cards.

Baby Turns One

After months of debate, I splurged and purchased a Scor-Pal. I’m happy to report that I’m seriously in love with it. It’s worth every penny. Mind you, it only cost me $40. I’m thrifty. It’s one of the most useful tools. Card making just got so much more fun and easier.

My first project with the Scor-Pal is a card for my nephew who’ll be celebrating the big ONE in November. (It seems like just yesterday that he was baptized. He’s without a question the cutest baby boy I’ve ever met. I think he’ll be a heart-breaker when he grows up. I’m not bias at all). I wanted to make something that will grab his attention right away since he can’t read, yet. I think the final product turned out quite well. What do you think?

Back from Vacation.....

I’m back from vacation! It was one of the best trips I’ve had so far. I did lots of touristy things and ate yummy food. What I enjoyed the most was spending time with D.

Today, I spent the day helping my friend work on her scrapbook. We spent 8 hours working on it and managed to finish 4 pages. Working on this project got my creative juices flowing again. It’s a good thing seen as though Christmas is approaching. Here’s a simple card that I made in anticipation of Christmas.
