Christmas Cards

I am so sorry this is late. I enjoyed my Christmas break after finals took over my life so here are the Christmas cards and tags. I really have let life taker over, school, work, housework, etc. So I apologize for the lateness and I will try to be better. I haven't taken pictures of the Valentines Day cards so I will try to get those done this weekend and probably up on Monday (Karyn please don't hold me to this though!)

This card is mine. I did two like this but I'm only putting one up. It is a waterfall template card and I really enjoyed making it. Sorry if they fell apart I had a bum thing of adhesive that seemed to make them all fall apart but my next batch held fine....

This card is from Jenny Leishman. It is very simple and cute. I really liked this card.

This little beauty is from Karyn Petersen. It is very gorgeous.

This card is from Elsie Kelly if I remember right...Sorry if I'm wrong....

This is a card from Chelsea Kerr. She had several different ones with different backgrounds, but I only took one picture.

These are from Hollie Crockett. She did an amazing job with them.

These next batches of cards are all from Liz Hadfield. She went CRAZY this time with TONS of cards!!!

These next two cards are from Kim Winborg. I love her style. It is so simple yet intricate at the same time!

Now onto the tags.....I can't remember exactly whose is whose. The first ones are from me.

These next ones are from either Chelsea or Karyn.
These are also from either Karyn or Chelsea...
These last ones are from Hollie Crocket.
I am so sorry if I mislabeled anyone's cards. It was not intentional and I can fix them if you would like me to.

September Cards

Well this month our theme was CONDOLENCE/INSPIRATIONAL....as per request of Jill Gebert so ladies please let me know what cards you would like done! I would love to get your ideas.
So this month we did not get as many cards as we have been so ladies PLEASE remember that they are due on the due dates specified! I am not going to call anymore since school has started and I am busy, busy, busy as I know most of you are too! :) We got 9 great cards this time and I think they all turned out great!! :) Thanks to those ladies who turned cards in!

Our first card comes from Karyn Peterson. Her cards are always so extremely cute! I love Karyn's cards and she got them to me WAY early too! Here is what she did this time:


Our next card is brought to you by ( Do I sound like a commercial 'closed captioning brought to you by:) anyways our next card was made by Chelsea Kerr. She did an amazing job and I like the way the card is different!

Kim Winborg made this next card and it is so simple yet so amazing! I feel as if I am always saying cute cute cute BUT I LOVE the word cute when it comes to cards! :)
Elsie Kelly made this next card. It was nice to get a card from Elsie this month I missed her cards last month! She always has such cute ideas!
This card is by me. I do not feel as if my creative juices were flowing when I made it and I feel as if I have made better BUT lets just say this theme was really hard for me. Hope those who got my card don't mind it too much.

This card is from Liz Hadfield. She always comes up with such ingenious ideas! I love how she incorporates alot of 3D ideas.
This next card is by a new member to our card group......drum roll please.....JENNY LEISHMAN! Welcome to our wonderful card group!!! This is Kim Winborg's sister or sister in law I can't remember but there ya go! She did an amazing job and Kim has told me she already has her Halloween/Thanksgiving cards done for next month! She did a great job and I am SO grateful she is in the group!!

This card comes from Nicole Norris. She always does a fantastic job! For those who were able to go to her CTMH workshop this last week I am VERY jealous!!! I wanted to go so badly but was unable to! Hope it went great Nicole!
So for this last card it is made by me but for Linda Perkes. I felt my creative juices flowing a little more this time, but still once again I felt like this was a hard theme did anyone else??
Well that is our cards for the month! Thanks Ladies!!! Oh and if anyone you know wants to join let me know! As long as they have a liaison for the group as Chelsea has Karyn and Jenny has Kim that I can give the cards to they are more than welcome to join. Just let me know so I know who to give the cards to etc.

OH AND ON AN AMAZING SIDE NOTE BOOKTABLE IS HAVING A SCRAPBOOK THINGIE ON THURSDAY FROM 5-8!!! I AM SO EXCITED WHO WANTS TO GO WITH ME????

Just thought I'd post these....

So my parents asked me to make them some wedding cards as my dad usually asks my mom to 'throw one together' 5 minutes before they leave for a reception. I am SO grateful that they let me do this!!!
Anyways we bought the stuff on Saturday and I borrowed my mom's cutter to cut all the paper so that it wouldn't bend as much on the trip back. We got back to Millville around 10:00 on Sunday night after my fireside in West Valley and I got straight to work!!! I finished on Monday afternoon and am quite pleased with myself. When I am designing cards for others to give away I try to make a card that they would like and I think my parents will like these cards. Also where I had to make so many I tried to keep them all the same design. 54 cards later these are the reaps of my labors.


I think they turned out great and I can't wait to hear what my parents think!!!!! I am grateful that they love me enough to let me make them these!!! I enjoyed making them so much!! Thanks Mom and Dad for giving me this opportunity!!!
If you ladies want to do wedding cards we could work this in for January. Please give me your input of what themes you want to do. We could redo themes we have already done or whatever just let me know what you would like!!!

Next Month

Just wanted to say Don't Forget NEXT MONTH'S CARDS THEME: Condolence/Inspirational as per request of Jill Gebert!

August Cards: BABY

Wow this month we had a great group of cards turned in! We only had 10 cards turned in BUT they sure were cute!!!
Lets start off with the cards from Anjanette Dahle this month. She decided to make 20 cards which any person is able to do if they would like. You will always get 20 cards back but I am not guaranteeing that you will get all different card! :) It always depends on how many people turn them in. Anjanette did a boy card and a girl card. They turned out very cute!


Next we have Marjorie Davis. Marjorie went with the cute layered sticker look for her cards this month. I like it alot.

Jill Gebert went ahead went with the sticker look as well. Stickers were a common theme this month and I think it is great especially for baby. Jill's cards turned out very cute this month!

Kim Winborg's cards were very simple yet extremely cute! She stamped a design on the cards and then HAND COLORED all of the cards. She dressed it up with some design paper and some stamps along the bottom and in the inside! Great Job Kim I Love them!!!




Chelsea Kerr did a very elegant card this month. What I want to know is how she does the raised up ink...is it embossing??? Hmmm we'll have to wait for her to comment for us to know!

Karyn Petersen did a cute pull out card! Very ingenious and creative! I love it!!! She did 5 girl and 5 boy so not sure what you got but they were both cute!!



Liz Hadfield came up with a very cute idea of a diaper. I think it is extremely cute and adorable!! Great Job Liz!!! She did 5 boy and 5 girl so hope you got one you needed!!!




The cards I did for Linda are very simple yet down to earth, something I think Linda would have come up with herself. I took a very decorative piece of flowered paper added some ribbon and used my cuttlebug to cut out a die for the purple square and embossed the yellow with the carriage! Please let me know if you see any of my cuttlebug stuff you like and would like to come and use it!!

My cards were very simple. I stamped "It's A..." with a cute picture of either a monkey or a lion on the front that I stamped using a stamp set from Close to My Heart. I then stamped Baby on the inside so that I the card could be used as a neutral card. To finish it off I hot glued on 3 buttons to add some embellishment!



Great Job ladies!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with for the month of September!!! Condolence/Inspirational! Remember if you need help with making your cards or coming up with ideas don't be afraid to give me a call or stop by!
