16. Cat Glasses Collage Card

Wow for "C" words, boy did I get my alliteration on this morning. I had a lot of fun making this collaged card. Want to read more about it, the inspiration and tutorial? Pop on over to Craftside.

7. Knot Nice Greeting Card

The phrase "Knot Nice" spelled that way and using the knot image is one of my all time favorites. So I whipped up this card inspired by the book Alphabeasties. See how I made this greeting card here.

1. Jackalope Card with March 22 One Up Me quote

I am going to try to make a card every day. This goal is inspired by the blog 365 Make Something Every Day and book 365 A Daily Creative Journal.
Here is my first card:
Here is how I made my jackalope card.
I punched 2 bunnies with my Martha Stewart punch, one with holding the pink side of the paper up and one with the pink side of the paper down. This gave me a reverse image.
I punched the deers the same way with the Martha Stewart deer punch.
I then trimmed the antlers off the deers and glued them to the back of the bunnies, now I have jackalopes!
I cut a card with the front a bit shorter because I wanted to write my quote along the bottom.
The quote is from One Up Me and it says:
"She's like the iPhone, we talk but mostly she plays games with me."

I "heart" Valentine's Day Card Album

I whipped up this Card Album design using my Sizzix die cutter to cut a bunch of hearts out of some of my favorite fabrics.
I applied them onto the cover of the Card Album with Mod Podge.
Then a bit of sparkle was added with different colors of Plaid Folk Art Extreme Glitter painted over each heart. I know you can't see the sparkle in the photo, but trust me it is sparkle-tastic!

Customized Greeting Card Albums from CHA Craft Super Show Class

First I have to be a bit silly and share with you the picture my friend Maria took of me in front of the big schedule wall:
I am pointing to my Customize your Greeting Card Album Class listing in case you were wondering, hehe.
The ladies had a blast with all the fun tools and supplies decorating their Greeting Card Albums.
Here are a few quick photos while they were still works in progress:


The dear Sixxix die cut and The StazOn ink along used with the Judikins and Autumn Leaves stamps with some JHB buttons accents were a hit.
These two designers really liked the flower Sizzix die cuts and layered them up.

One used the Autumn Leaves print papers and one used the Club Scrap solid papers.

My first Decorated Christmas Card Card Album for 2009 using the Cricut Die Cutter

I decorated my first Card Album for my 2009 Christmas cards!
I know your thinking a bit early? No never too early to craft for the holidays, they sneak up on you like you wouldn't believe!















It is really hard to shoot really shiny metallic hence the two shots.














I know it's hard to see but on the ribbon I die cut "2009 cards" out of shiny gold metallic sticky back vinyl on my Cricut die cutter. I wrapped my Card Album like a present. I put the bow on the spine so it would look pretty on the shelf amongst my books.















Here you can see the "9".

Card Albums are great for Blank cards on their way to awsome hand made creations

So Card Albums aren't just good for putting cards you have received they are great motivators and organizers of your handmade creations.














I filled a Card Album with blank cards that I simply made by folding 8 1/2 by 11 cardstock in half and slipping in the elastic binding system. I have made one card and plan to make 23 more before Christmas, it is about 23 weeks until then so I think I am in good shape!
