Soccer Thank You Cards

I have decided to abandon my "Tips For Tuesday"
 in hopes to find something new for the new year.
I will let you know when I find it!

So soccer is not even close to being one of my favorite things.  

(Huge understatement by the way!)
My husband asked me to make 12 thank you cards for the soccer league he chairs on.
(I think that is how you put it)
Not liking soccer, this is always a challenge for me.
So here goes nothing!

I used a Me & My Big Idea's Stack that I found at Michael's

The soccer balls are Recollections brads

I used my Cricut to make my grass tag then I doodled it.

My sentiment is CTMH. 

So that is it.  

Hope I some what scored with it.

Have a crafty day!

JME Creations Design Team Post! Christmas Time! A Winner too!

Christmas time is coming! Are you ready?

If not, you have 6 more days! You can do it!!

Christmas time, a time for family, friends, and holiday parties.

What better to wear to a Christmas party then a little red dress?

What better place to stand then under the mistletoe?

My recipe:

DCWV-All Dressed Up

Greeting Farm's Flirty Anya

CTMH sentiment

Sophisticated Cricut Cart

Copic's

Twine

Glossy accents

This was "take 2" with my Copic's, man I can't wait to take some classes!!

I love this Greeting Farm stamp, in fact I love all their stamps!

They are super cute and great for Copic's.

After I colored little Flirty Anya I used some glossy accents to spice up her flower, dress and shoes.

I think she looks pretty spiffy!

My mistletoe was created using my Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut Cart.

I didn't have a cart that actually cut mistletoe and to be honest I wasn't even sure what it looked like.

I ended up Googling mistletoe and my TC Cart was the perfect solution.

I really hope you enjoyed my card!  I sure do!

Now for a winner!

The winner of the JME Creations Tree-licious blog hop is........

JME Creations Design Team Post! Snowman Anyone!

Welcome my bloggy friends to my JME Creations snowman post. 

Winter is coming, are you ready?

This is how I like my winter, on paper!

I hope you enjoy my latest DT post!

This card consists of the new Bo Bunny!  I saw it and fell in love!

I used my Gypsy Wondering Cart to make the outline of my snowmen. 

I bought my buttons and snowflakes from Joann's.

I used Lyrical Letters Cart for my tag.

The sentiment is CTMH.

Of course I had to throw in some Twine for my accent.

It took me a few days for playing before I came up with finished product.

I hope you all like it!

Happy December and Happy winter!

Check out JME Creations for all the other fun snowy projects!

Happy Halloween from the JMECreations DT!

Indeed it is Halloween! I am stuck at work today (sad face) I hope everyone else is out playing and having a great time!  Here is a quick Halloween card and treat bag I made for today's DT post.

I saw the batty ribbon at Joann's for half off and I had to buy it! 

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but this is what I came up with.  I used the CTMH stamp of the month "Wicked" from August for my black cat and sentiment. 

I bought a super cool glossy gel pen to make my sentiment pop!

I love my new pen!

For this cute little treat bag I used this spooky little Joann's sticker.

I also added twine because I think that twine makes everything better!!

Here is the matching pair!

Everyone have a fun and safe Halloween!

Don't forget to haunt Jamie's blog to see what everyone else came up with!

Happy Haunting!!

Summer Fun Revistied!

Here is a little bit of summer fun to warm up the crisp fall air!

These pictures were taken out our local fair.

I only work on my 12x12 layouts 2 to 3 times a year so my timing is a little off for the seasons.

(I save them all for my weekend retreats)

I had to do a cow  layout because I couldn't pass up these cute pictures I took.

The baby cow was actually born at the Fair.  

Isn't she super sweet!!

I used my Create a Critter Cart to make my little cow and little red barn.

I took my Tim Holtz embossing folder to give my little red barn some texture.

I lined my heart with some awesome twine!

I love me some twine right now!

One of my favorite techniques is using buttons for grass. 

I love the way it looks!

I hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane at the Fair!

Have a crafty day!

Hello My Foxy Friend!

Just a quick little card I made for the Lawnscaping Challenge. 

This challenge was all about paper piecing. 

I had an awesome time making this card. 

I used a little bit more of my Echo Park scraps,

my Lawn Fawn stamps,

twine, and my Cricut.

The sentiment is CTMH.

The end result makes me smile.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a  super crafty weekend!

This is my attempt at an esle card. 

I love this whole design team thing.

I have been creating a lot of firsts lately!

I used a lot of different elements to make this card.

 To make my haunted house I used the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cart

To make my pumpkins I used the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cart

Finally to make my moon I used the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cart!

That's right, three different carts to make this card come together!

I gave my pumpkins some cute little Peachy Keen faces!

I love their stamp sets!!

I used some twine along with my IRock bling for accent.

My sentiment is yet again from the Michael's dollar bin!

I am really starting to love that bin!

My for the fun part!

Welcome Fall

Welcome fall and welcome blog buddies! This is my second post for JME Creations design team.  This project was welcome fall.  I love fall! It is my favorite season!  I have always loved the colors, smells, leaves, storms, football! I could go on and on!  But.....I won't!  Here's my card!!



While digging through my paper I found some old school Bo Bunny.  I love me some Bo Bunny!!  This paper was all ready to go. I just had to add my embellishments.  I used my Serenade Cricut cart to make my little birdy.  I had lacey looking Recollections ribbon that I got on clearance from Michael's.  I didn't know what I was going to use it for but it sure came in handy for this card.  The last little bit I used my CTMH playful flourish stamp set and some stickles.

This card was pretty much made it's self. Super simple but I loved the end result.  I don't really feel like it is cheating too much because these days a lot of paper is super cute and ready to go.  Sometimes the paper is it's own embellishment.

I hope that you enjoyed my card as much as I did! Happy crafting!  Don't forget to stop by Jamie's blog to check out all the wonderful projects the designers came up with!

Happy Anniversary My Love!

11 years ago today we found each other. 

5 years ago today we started a life together.

 And today, I am still nuts about you!

I am so blessed this week for many reasons. I have a loving husband, great friends, and a second opportunity to be a guest designer! I would like to take the time to thank Lynne from Her Craftiness for allowing me to show my work on her blog.

                          To celebrate my anniversary I choice an old layout from our wedding album. 



This is my favorite page out of the entire album. I saw a similar page in a Close To My Heart catalog and loved it.  I tweaked it a little to make it my own.  I love the black and white photo with the bright green and pink. I used my Close To My Heart ink and Stamps and a Cricut Cartridge to create this layout.  You will have to forgive me, it's been along time and I don't remember all the details:)

However, my second project is new just today so I remember everything!!

 This is the anniversary card that I made for my husband. In my crafting circle I am kind of known for being untraditional when it comes to my paper choices.  I tend to mix designs and colors that must people would not.  I can't help it, it's who I am!  The paper I choose for this card is from the Recollections All Season paper pack. 

For my cute little squirrel I used my new favorite Cricut cartridge Create A Critter.

I added some bling and I used my white pen to make my word pop. I really love the way this card turned out and I hope you do too!

Now for the fun part! BLOG CANDY!!

Today I am giving away some Recollections bling and embellishments.

To be eligible to win please check out my blog my-o-scrappin, become a follower and leave a comment on this post.  If you are already a follower that's ok, you also have a chance to win! I will be picking the winner on Sunday the 21st using random.org.  Winners must live in the continental United States.

Again I want to thank Lynne @ Her Craftiness for giving me this opportunity. You have shown me great kindness this week. 

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!
