Girls' Night Picture Frame

Just a quick decorative frame project.
Made With: Center City Designs "Sutton Place Rectangles Small" coasters, Center City Designs "Sutton Place: Lever House" designer paper, Doodlebug Design Inc. "Party Mix" cardstock stickers, and Paper Bliss metal accents. (And I just realized that you can see my reflection in the glass ;) )
"But the most exciting, challening, and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."

Christmas Cards

These are a few of the Christmas cards I sent out this year (didn't want to post them before people received them!). I used last year's designer paper scraps and textured cardstock. The snowflakes were made with a Martha Stewart punch and snowflake brads.






“Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing;
Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears,
Let us hold close one day, remembering
It's poignant meaning for the hearts of men.
Let us get back our childlike faith again."
-Grace Noll Cromwell-

Cupcake Birthday Cards

A couple quick birthday cards for my girlfriends!

The cupcake is stamped and embossed.
I used chalks to fill in the stamp and the edges of the inner circle.

I gave the card some depth, using a raised sticky dot on the inner circle.

This is my new toy :)

The Cricut Expression

And I am in love. Thank you Mom & Dad for the early Christmas present.

What this means: mass production and time efficiency!
