Anything Christmas!

I know everything is getting crazy around your house as it is in our house.  Before Christmas come on over to BBTB2 and join the challenge.  Mayra, our wonderfully talented designer for this week, has chosen anything Christmas.  Come and post one of your last minute projects or card with us.  We would love to see what you come up with.  I made this ornament from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More2 cartridge.  The tag comes from the same cartridge.  It was a little bit of a challenge to glue together, but the scoring tool made it alot easier.  I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.   It is a time to remember the birth of Jesus.   Have a wonderful time with family and friends and stay safe.  tfl.

Peace on Earth

I found this card on the Silhouette Online Store.  I just loved it and so I made several to send out for my Christmas cards.  It really did cut out well on the Cameo.  tfl.

Merry and Bright!

All of these cuts came from the Artbooking cartridge.  This cartridge made it very easy to put this card together.  I put the ribbon through the holes.  This is actually made for an album.  Maureen is our amazingly talented designer for this week over at BBTB2.  She has picked the theme of using an ornament on your card or project.  There sure alot of them to choose from.  Please come and join the fun and see what the other talented ladies have come up with.  Merry Christmas to everyone, and may God bless you!  tfl.

Another fun challenge over at BBTB2!!  Come and join the fun.  Susan, our wonderfull talented designer, has challenged us to use a stocking in our card or project.  I picked up my Winter Frolic cartridge and used this image from it.  I used alot of stickles.  This is a really simple card.  I bet this time of year is getting really busy for everyone.  tfl.

Be Merry!

I can't believe that it is Christmas season again.  I enjoy sitting in my craft room and making my Christmas cards.  Jayne has picked the challenge of using a Christmas tree in your card or project over at BBTB2.  I try to use the Cricut Craftroom to key in the word and that brings up all the trees.  I like this image on the A Child's Year cartridge.  This challenge will get you started with your Christmas Cards.  Come and join us.  Tfl.

One more Thanksgiving Card!

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving.  It was exhausting but so wonderful to spend time with the boys and their families.  The little ones are so very sweet.  This card was made from my Artbooking cartridge.  I recently got this one and have been enjoying all the images on it.  I had to cut the tree several times to get the different leaves and then used one of the borders from the cartridge, also.  I entered this at My Craft Spot.  We recently went to visit my mil and my son took a picture of my husband, myself and our grandchildren.  Aren't they sweet!  tfl.

Give thanks!

Emily is our amazingly, talented designer for this week with the challenge over at BBTB2.  She has chosen a thanksgiving themed challenge using our Cricuts.  I saw a card on Pinterest, at least that is where I think I saw it and it inspired me.  I used Walk in my Garden for the wheelbarrow, the squash from Garden Soup.  I can't remember where I got the apples and pumpkins from.  I had pulled out quite a few cartridges, lol.  Otherwise, I think I am having memory issues this week, lol.  Come and join us and post your card or project at BBTB2.  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  Have a safe and blessed holiday.  tfl.

Count Your Blessings

Hello, it is time for another challenge over at BBTB2 and I got to pick the challenge for the week.  This time of year, we think about all the things to be thankful for.  I picked pumpkins because it makes me think of harvest.  I grew up on a farm, so thanksgiving had a very special meaning for us.  It was always a relief for my parents to have their harvest in before winter.  Please come and join us and link up your cards or projects with us.  Check out what my design sisters have come up with!  tfl.

Touchdown!

Open If You Dare Treat Box

Jayne is our amazingly talented designer for this week's challenge over at BBTB2 .  We are to make a treat box.  At first I made a Snowman treat box and thought being that this is time for halloween, I should make a halloween treat box.  I used several cartridges to make this project.  First of all, I used TBBM2 for the box, Paperdoll dress up for the spiders and fencing.  I used the George cartridge to put some oval cut outs in the side of the box, so you can see the candy.  The cat is from Cindy Lou and the haunted house and ghosts are from the Silhouette Online Store.  I hope you come and join in the fun.  tfl.

Spooky!!!

Hello, I have a card that I made for my youngest son, who is 25, but still needs a Halloween card, lol.  I found this card at the Silhouette Online Store and thought of him.  This is just the cutest cut!!  I added the ghosts to make it more spooky.  We just got back from North Caroline to see my folks.  The trees and the mountains were beautiful.  We had alot of traffic jams and construction.  UGH.  We had the most fabulous weather, but the time went way too quickly.  tfl.
