~~~ Cupcake Birthday ~~~

Good morning Y'all! This birthday slipped up on me so I made a pretty easy card.I didn't even have to grumble and cuss and throw anything in the trash...it came together pretty quickly and thats a 1st for me ! I used Celebrations for the cupcake, cut at 5.5 on my G. Added all the layers and ran the bottom through my cripper.Did a lil embossing and added punched stars.The circle sentiment was computer generated and I cut it out with a 1 3/4" punch and used a nesty behind it.I used Plantin Schoolbook for the numbers and smothered them in Glossy Accents. Added some vintage seam binding and a cute lil charm.Hobby Lobby is having a 1/2 off sale and they had some darling charms! Thanks for taking a peek!!!

~~ Hot Diggity Dog ~~

Hi Y'all....one of my sweet "swimmin wimmin" is having a birthday this week and of course I had to make Betty a card. She has an old wiener dog that she adores , so I wanted to use this cute lil dog from the Paisley cart for her card. I used Country Life for the banner and the letters are from Storybook. The present is from the Celebrations cart. The hearts are from several punches. Did a lil inking and popping ..oh and I used a stamp too...wooohooo and got it right on the 1st attempt! I am a horrible stamper. Thanks for taking a peek!!!

~~ Santa's Slackers Challenge # 9 ~~

Good morning Y'all !!! It's time for another challenge and we decided to make Tags this week! We all need tags when we get started, wrapping presents and what better way to adorn your packages than with handmade tags! There are many carts that have tags, so you shouldn't have a hard time locating one or 2 that you really like.

Use any Christmas cut that you like and while your making a tag, why not make several! That's what I did. I used the gingerbread man on the From My Kitchen cart and the tag was cut from Good Ole George. The Gingerbread house was cut from the Stretch Your Imagination cart. Did a lil doodlin, added some glitter and there you have them. For the pine cones I used the Camp Out cart.I just love the look of this tag with the gold paper behind it! I have some beautiful wrapping paper with pine cones on it and these are going to look so purtty on that paper! The snowflakes tags were cut from When It's Cold Outside. I was soooo disappointed that the deer snowflake didn't cut cleanly, that cut was one of the main reasons I bought the cart! Anyway...I doctored up some of the flaws with glitter, and I used Celebrations for the scalloped tags. After I took the pictures outside, the spots I missed with glitter look bad, I guess I will have to re glitter them both!

Can't wait to see what you create...have fun.....I sure did !!!
