I've been creating new cards for mothers day, I visit a wonderful site regularly to help me create my cards, I want to thank Christina Griffith and her site www.card-making-magic.com she is also on pintrest, for her wonderful easy to follow tutorials with the help of Christina Griffith's site these are the creations I made, both of them have the acetate dome effect over the front the flowers are cut from my zing and handmade, patterns and instructions found on youtube, also the butterflys are cut from my zing.

Well another new post I have been playing with my new toy, I purchased a knk zing, love it!!!! Here are some of the things that i have been making, the files are from a wonderful program that comes with the Zing or you can purchase it separately on the web to use with any machine but the cricut, I have been using this program for the last 3yrs love it.

WOW Sure has been along time since i updated this blog but here are a couple of my new posts from this year for christmas cards

This card I made for my sister and brother in law and i used embossing folder, to spiff it up I traced the letters and vine with glue and dded glitter sprinkles, the poinsettia I cut on my cricut and then put together.

This is my sons card which took me about 4hrs to create from a file i purchased at http://www.treasureboxdesigns.com called happy howlidays, and is so cute!! The designs on this page are fabulous.

Christmas cards

Well I have been extremely busy doing my christmas cards, i have some pictures posted of some of the cards I have created this year, but unfortunately not all, Ryk misplaced the camera when cleaning to put up the christmas decorations, so I then remembered my ipod has its camera so that is what i have taken these pictures with. The rest have gone to all the girls at work, and not able to get pictures of them this year. Probably not the best pictures but you will get the idea anyway. Sorry the one that is sideways I do not know how to turn it, it is not showing sideways in my folder, lol, I had alot of different ones that I did with both cutting from cricut and stamping images and coloring with copics and water color pencils but do not have any pictures. The elephant one is a shaker card which is fun to do. The picture of the present one is a money card holder that I found on a website also. it is really pretty with a pull out bulb to put the money in.

These are my christmas tags that I have created for the presents, they are cut from my cricut.

This last picture is an idea I got from a website and it is so cute, these are for my 2 grand daughters and they are candy wrappers, i did not have ink in my printer so i just did a cut out and the did this with ink and water color pencils.
