So Artful Challenges - Ceil Chapman Inspired

This challenge intrigued me.  It is so different than most themes I've worked with.  I really enjoyed working on it.  I tried to mimic the fashion using a figure from the Cricut Forever Young cartridge.  What do you think? (Sorry about the beige background.  It doesn't spotlight the card well.)

Whimsical Designs (Whimsical Wednesday) Favorite Card

I know this is repetitious but to qualify for this challenge there has to be an entry to this blog alone.  So, here again is my favorite card that I've made (so far).

I still get so much pleasure seeing the little details and how they all came together.  I'm looking forward to making another tee pee card, soon.  To see other entries at Whimsical Designs, click here.

Happy New Year.

Some Cards I Made as Gifts

Happy Holidays, everyone.  Are things slowing down a bit yet?  It's been a busy and exciting week.  I'd like to show you some cards I made.
The first one is a matchbook cocoa card inspired by Mary at cardz tv.

I never know what to give my sister because she is so good at finding what she wants herself.  So, since I'm into card making - what else!  She said she likes to stock up on Birthday and Get Well cards so here is a sampling of some I made for her.  I made 2 of each design so she got about 20 cards.  I found a cute decorated box at A.C. Moore's that I put them in.

Now I'm off to visit blogs I follow.  Thank you for the kind comments I've been receiving.  May you all have a Happy and Blessed New Year.

Link Up Party at Robin's Creative Cottage & Cooking with Cricut

Cooking with Cricut Challenge #66 is the favorite project of 2011 and since this is my all-time favorite (so far)...
To see other entries, click here.

For Robin's Link Up Party we are asked to post our favorite project made in the last month, then comment on at least three of the others in the party.
This card is definitely my favorite.  I have it in a prominent spot in my apartment  where I can see it easily.  The memory of the fun I had making it adds to the pleasure it gives.

This is the only tee pee card I've made so far but I know I'll do more.  The way it's made, if the embellishments are planned correctly, it folds flat for mailing.  The directions are on You Tube by the norsugirl.  (here is the link:)

Merry Christmas, all.

A Christmas Tag

I bought this Santa stamp, secondhand, last year.  I've been looking forward to using it so I pulled it out last night and played with it.  There is no marking left on it to say which company it's from.  The only cricut cut used here is the tag itself, from the Picturesque cartridge.

I am entering this tag in Fantabulous Cricut (Trimming with a tag) click here.

A Card for my Doctor

I had fun with the Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge making this for my doctor and his staff.  It really does resemble them.  They were so tickled with it.  This is actually the inside of the card; I made it so they could bend the front backwards and see this all year.  They said they are going to frame it.

Merry Christmas to all.
