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.

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.
