Snowman Shaker Card

Good Morning,

I can't believe it is already Friday!  This week flew by.  We have had some really wild weather here in Maryland.  We started off with snow, then it went to sleet and finally rain.  The leaves are still on the trees but we are having huge wind gust so I doubt they will be on there for long!  How is the weather where you live?

Today I would like to show you a snowman shaker Christmas card that I made.

Isn't this fun?  I fussy cut the snowman and penguin stamps then colored them.  The "snow hills" are made from Craftin Desert Divas Stitched Scallop Dies using glitter paper.  The cut out part is from Paper Rose Dies - Stitched Circles (They are on sale right now at Scrapy Land.
The paper is from Echo Park Hello Winter.  The sequins are from Craftin Desert Divas Fairy Dust Sequins.

Here is the inside of the card:

I wish I could tell you where the sentiment stamps came from but I have owned them so long, I am not sure.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

C.R.A.F.T Challenge - Christmas

Give Thanks Card

Hello My Friends,

Today I would like to show you a really cute Give Thanks Card.  I purchased the svg files from Dreaming Tree, one of my favorite shops.  All of the files come with written and video instructions.  When I am done putting together a card, I feel like I have had a warm visit from a friend.  Leo is so good at explaining everything.

Isn't he cute?  The instructions also tell you what color of AC Card stock to use but you can always use whatever color you like.

Surprise!  It is a tri-fold card!  Notice the "google eyes" as those of you who follow me know, I will take any opportunity to use google eyes.  Kids love them and most adults do too!  Can you see that I embossed the blue and the turkey's bodies?

It also comes with a file to make an envelope.

Here is the back.

Good Morning,

I am so happy to be back!  My computer sits on one of those "standing carts" I don't like to sit while on my computer because it hurts my back and neck so I have this kind of computer stand.

I was sitting on my rolling chair cleaning my craft room when my chair got tangled up in my lap top cord and the whole thing came tumbling down!  I broke my laptop!  The amazing thing is that my husband fixed it!  He ordered the parts that he needed and he fixed it this weekend.  What a guy!

Here is a card I worked on while I was off line.

Can you see the word "Autumn" above the stamp?  It doesn't show up that well in photos.  The stamp is from Mo's Digital Pencil and it is called.  Fall Fairy Jesen.  When I saw this little fella, he just touched my heart!  I love his wispy hair!

Here is a close-up of the stamp:
