Christmas Is Love

So I got a change to do a bit of crafting before tomorrow. Lucky me. I did this up for a couple of challenges. I used the rules from the Paper Players (and mostly Stamping Up product, yay me! lol) the colours from Color Throwdown and I found this fantastic sketch at Skipping Stones.

NOW when I found the sketch on the Skipping Stones site I didn't take my usual peek at the projects. I liek to do that so that I don't create anything to similar. So I went back to link up and the twin (in my opinion) to my card was sitting there! lol I must have been channelling the maker of the twin (same stamp, almost same paper). So long story short I am not going to enter that challenge because I don't want to step on someone else's colours and design. I should have looked first, that will teach me! ;)

Hockey Birthday

Well it's been awhile again since I have been online and updating but such is life right! :)

I did this card up for my mom for a friend of hers and I think it turned out cute.

This is Cricut cuts from both paper doll cartridges and Don Juan. I used an edge punch, some ribbon and a cuttlebug folder to create the background.

Well I still have more to post but I won't have time until Saturday to get them all up!

Back in Action! :)

Well I am finally back to crafting today. I was up doing a class at Lesley's on some beautiful Christmas cards yesterday and was inspired to keep crafting today.

This is a set of thank you cards using the theme from the Paper Players this week. I was anxious to use this bunched ribbon technique after I saw a card at Lesley's yesterday where she had done it and so I used that too.



I have a few other cards that I need to photograph and post from last weekend I just haven't had time yet. I will get to it! :)

Thanks for taking a peek at my creations!

Hello all ...

Hello wonderful blog world.

So I do have a few projects to post I am just running out of time with my final exam looming over my head ... I will try and take some time to myself at lunch to make a post or two and if not it won't happen until Friday. Such is life.

Cross your fingers for me if you are reading this as I am about to head into a final exam that 45% of people fail the first time. I REALLY wish I hadn't found that out!

Have a great day,
Laurie
