A gift bag

Good Morning! I would first like to say Happy 1st Birthday to my lil man, Max!!! Today I have a super cute project to share with you that DT member Courtney created. For full details be sure to check out her blog or just stop by and leave her a comment.


Courtney used items from the December Monthly Kit to create this bag. That's all for today, short and sweet! :-)

2 Cute lil men...

It is Monday and I am in the final stretch of this semester. I have my last class in Math today and I get my Accounting take home test for the final. I just can't believe it is my last week of classes. I also can't believe how fast Christmas is approaching. Yikes!

Well my Christmas present from my honey was a kitty. I have been BEGGING for one for months. I used to have cats when we met but they were indoor/outdoor cats and one day they didn't come back (well 2 of them) I was devasted. Then when we moved out of state I had to get rid of my last kitty. We have a dog and I love her but I think I am a cat person. So Tony was going to surprise me with a kitty for Christmas but over the weekend the Subaru dealer in town was paying the adoption fees. Can't beat free right? So I went down to the shelter and picked up Chuck aka Tuc. His name was Tuc but I didn't really like it.

He had been at that shelter since September 14 and I felt so bad for him. He was a 3 yr old male cat that was previously owned by an older lady that passed away. I am SO HAPPY I chose him, he is so loving and gets along great with my kids and my dog. He has totally made himself at home.
So, meet Chuck.....



Isn't he handsome? He is such a good kitty!! :-)

Now on to today's project. As usual I am in a crunch for getting my Christmas cards done. I have made a total of 5 and Ineed at least 30 so I need to get working.

Well not sure if you saw a week or so ago where I had my Cricut Expressions up for sale, well I sold it. It was about 48 hrs and I was feeling a bit sad. So I went by Joann Fabrics on Black Friday and they had a Personal Cricut, is that what they are called. The smaller version. It was on sale for $59.99, I had to have it. I LOVE IT!!! Since my craft space is rather small this machine fits perfectly.

Well I use the SCAL program and on SVGcuts.com they have some awesome SVG files. Yesterday I purchased some Christmas card files and started making some. This is what I made last night.

Aren't they cute! Not sure if you can tell in the pic, since I had to take it inside (dang it's cold and windy outside) but I added some glitter to the white part on the hat and boots. So now I have 7 cards, LOL!

Check back tomorrow, I will have a project from DT member Courtney. :-) Don't forget to enter my giveaway, it ends Decemer 17th at midnight EST.

Happy Crafting!!

Blizzard LO

Hey there fellow crafters! Today I have a LO to share with you that DT member Courtney created using the December sketch and December kit. This LO is fabulous just like what the other ladies created using the kit.




Absolutely awesome. Ya know I never really play with the kits myself, only because I just don't have much time but every time I see what the DT creates it totally makes me want to play with the kit. LOL! This month is certainly no exception. For the complete details about the LO please visit Courtney's blog.
Happy Crafting!!

Oooops!

Good Morning! It would seem as though when I uploaded the December kit in to Artfuldelight, I deleted the payment options. So there was no way for anyone to purchase the kit. I just wanted to let everyone know, or for those who may be interested in purchasing the kit, that I have made the correction.

Sorry if that caused any problems. We still have a few kits left so be sure to check it out. Stop by tomorrow for DT member Courtney's LO using the December kit and sketch. :-)

Happy Crafting!!

Snow Cute

Good Morning and happy Thursday. Another week about to come to an end. Christmas is going to be here before we know it. I need to get my Christmas cards done. This happened last year, I was rushing at the last minute to get them made and mailed. How ridiculous, LOL!

Anywho, today I have a LO to share with you that April created using the December Monthly kit. The more LO's I see being created with it, the more and more I LOVE it!! I can't wait to see what Jamie and Courtney create. :-)

Isn't that snowman ADORABLE??? I love how April dressed him up! :-) I hope y'all play along with this month's sketch. I hope to get some crafting in and try the sketch myself. Stop by April's blog and spread some comment love! :-)

Don't forget I still have the 40% off sale going on at Artfuldelight! Also I have a couple December kits left.

Super Fab projects

WOW, this is my 200th post. Not to shabby for only starting my blog 6 months ago and starting off a bit slow. :-) Today I have some great projects to share with you. I was so excited to receive an email on Monday from Catherine Oakley, the winner of the November kit, sharing pics of some fabulous cards she created using the kit she won. I asked if I could share them on my blog and she was A.O.K with it. So I will be sharing those with you as well as one last card from DT member Courtney.

These cards are all so fabulous! I am so excited to be sharing them with you today!

Courtney


Aren't they all fabulous. I think Catherine's idea to give the teachers a set of cards, is fabulous! I might have to do that for my daughter's teachers. The problem is that she is in middle school so she has like 8 teachers or something, that is a lot of cards. LOL! Be sure to stop by their blogs for more details about the cards.

Stop by tomorrow for a LO from DT member April, using the December Monthly Kit!
