One Sheet Wonder Christmas Cards

I made a few projects and cards over the holidays....and though the holidays are over, I thought I'd make a few posts over the next week or so showing you what I made.  Better late than never, right? :)

First up, are some of the Christmas cards I made for my co-workers - I made a few other cards as well but will post them separately.  For this set of cards I used a One Sheet Wonder template created by Kimberley Morris - click here to visit her blog and to download the pdf instruction sheet and template.  Thanks to the template I was able to get the cards done fairly quickly.  All of the cards are standard A2 size.

Most of the cards are simply embellished using Christmas stickers I had on hand.  Can you believe I didn't use any Cricut?  I did use the iRock tool on one of the cards, the Cuttlebug on one, and some ribbon on another.  But I decided to keep most of them pretty simple.  (I apologize for the picture quality - I took the photos with my phone as I didn't have my camera handy.)

Hope you enjoy them....I'll have another project posted soon.  Have a great day....

My Pink Stamper Challenge - Winter

Robyn over at My Pink Stamper issued a challenge to make a winter themed project.  I've been wanting to play with my new Winter Frolic cartridge and this was the perfect opportunity.  This is standard A2 size card.

The little girl and all layers are cut at 4".  I used a Peachy Keen stamp for the face.  I used some Martha Stewart punches for the borders.  I also added some Diamond stickles to the bottom border to give it a glistening 'ice' effect as well as some silver stickles to the blades of her ice skates.

This will be one of my Christmas cards that I mail out this year.  My goal this year is to make and send out my cards.  Last year I waited til the last minute and so I didn't end up sending out any....so this year, I'm determined to get a jump on it. =)

Hope you've enjoyed my little card.  The challenge is open through Wednesday at 7:59 am....feel free to join in.

Have a great day.....

Holiday Planner

During the past week, I worked on a Holiday Planner that I gave my MIL for her birthday present. She loves the Holiday season and after seeing some of the newer versions in the Gallery of the Christmas Planner site (OrganizedChristmas' focus site), I was inspired to create one for her that she can keep with her while she is shopping. The original version of the Holiday Planner was a 3-ring notebook, which while it gives you lots of room, can be a bit burdensome to take with you when you are out and about.
