Today I have made a simple hello kitty combo! A friend of mine LOVES Hello Kitty and she has a January Birthday also. I made her a super simple hello kitty card and matching box. The box is a sizzix die and the card and hello kitty icon is from the Hello Kitty cartidge. This is one of my absolute favorites. You can literally make this card in less than 10 minutes using the card feature. The sentiment is from ourScrappy Mom's simple sentiments set.

Now for some birthday blog candy!!! Just leave me a comment on this post and you will have the chance to win a SCRAPPY MOM'S STAMPS SET of your choice.

Happy Birthday Joanna!!!

Merry Christmas to All!!

Wow!! I cannot believe Christmas has come and gone. I hope you all had a most wonderful holiday and were to able to get some R&R. I wanted to post a picture of my little Hannah with Santa. She sooo loved him this year, and much to my delight she did not try to pull his hair or beard once... WHEW!!

Today I created a simple little project. I used the Sizzix gingberbread house die to make these adorable little gift card holders. My wonderful friend Katie delivered this to me in November..straight from California! THANK YOU KATIE!! I cut some little tags on the cricut using Gypsy Wanderings and Storybook for the names. This little tree sits in my daughter, Hannah's playroom. I made these for her therapists that come every week and work with her. Inside there is a scratch and sniff Target gift card.. yummy.

It is definatley the season of GIVING so I am giving away.... to one lucky winner, a set of Scrappy Mom's Stamps. Your choice!! Just leave a comment and I will pick the lucky winner on Monday. We are also having a fun little peek tomorrow over at Scrappy Mom's!! It just wouldn't be Christmas without a little suprise!

Please continue on the HOP with us by dashing on over to see IVETTE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!

Christmas Tree Color Activity

Hi Everyone!

With Christmas just around the corner I wanted to make a fun activity for my daughter!! My little angel, Hannah, is special needs and since she doesn't go to school I am always trying to create fun activites for both her and I! This did not come out perfect because I had to have it laminated and then cut it out...but it will withstand a lot of wear and tear. Too bad the cricut couldn't trace around objects once they are laminated..

I used Christmas Cheer for the tree, George and Basic shapes for the star and Winter Frolic for the ornaments. I had it laminated and used velcro so she can choose the colors and take them off and on the tree. Her FAVORITE color is green!! She knows the sign for it and everything.. so if we can learn RED by Christmas it will make my YEAR!!

Have a wonderful week!!

Jolly Holidays Happy Birthday Card!

Hi Everyone!

I made this adorable little snowman for my Niece's Birthday which was December 3rd! SHAME on me!!! I am so bad at getting my cards out lately. I just run out of time in the day!!! I need 28 hours.. not 24!

I used my brand NEW JOLLY HOLIDAYS cartridge and my BRAND NEW Birthday Bash cart for the card cut. Look at me--I got two out of the package in one day! I also used the "NEW" Scrappy Mom's Simple Sentiments set...I love this little bitty Happy Birthday stamp!

My mom and I went to Walmart on Black Friday and she bought me THREE cartridges! I was sooo excited. I bought myself one too... they are all so cute. I just need to find some more time in the day to go through all of them.. that will be one of my resolutions for the New Year!

I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season!!!
