Let's Talk Turkey

Hello & happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there in blog-land! I hope you had a fabulous & yummy day! My whole family went to my Grandma's house for dinner. I made this card to wish her a happy Thanksgiving & to thank her for hosting dinner. I used several cartridges & I think they all worked well together. Of course, nothing says Thanksgiving like a teddy bear in a turkey costume! Huh? Oh well....I think he's pretty stinkin' adorable....

A Belated Veterans Day Card

Hello crafty friends! I hope you are all having a fabulous week! I know I'm a little late, but I still wanted to share this card I made for my husband for Veterans Day. I couldn't post it until after I gave it to him (as he does occasionally read my blog, lol) & then I wasn't feeling well yesterday. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm so proud of my husband's service (82nd Airborne Div.) & so grateful for all the men & women who have served or are serving to protect our freedom. Happy (late) Veterans Day!

Peaceful Holiday Wishes

Hello my crafty friends! I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday (hey - at least it's not Monday). Today I'm sharing the second card I've made with the new "Christmas Kitsch" Cricut cartridge by Anna Griffin. I know I just said this yesterday but this cartridge is amazing! The cards are all relatively simple & quick. This will make it so much easier to crank out all my Christmas cards for my family. Every Christmas my uncle's girlfriend orders 30-40 cards, my cousin orders 20 & my aunt orders 20-30. As if that doesn't keep me busy enough, I also make a lot of card bundles to give out as gifts. This is why I'm starting to make them so early. Last year I waited till the last minute & worked myself into a complete frenzy. Oh well - live & learn, right? Anyway, here is my card for today....

Inside

SIZE:  5.75" square
CRICUT:  Expression 2
CARTRIDGE:  "Christmas Kitsch"
PAPER:  CTMH "Snowhaven" paper packet
OTHER:  CTMH Liquid Glass; Martha Stewart punch "Aspen Snowflake"; Viva Decor Pearl Pen "Ice White"; Sakura pens; 3M foam tape
