Jeanie D's Christmas Goodness! :)

Hey all! Did you know I have a really good friend in the Digital Design business? Her name is Jeanie Dickinson and she has her own design name now...she is Jeanie D's Designs. :) I am beyond proud of her and she keeps me really happy with sharing her digi goodness with me. :) She has a vintage, yet whimsical feel to her work. I also love it because it is beautiful, yet clean. :)

Anyways- She was designing a kit a couple nights ago (She is gonna be a part of a HUGE Blog Hop here - that is where the details are.) and had the papers done for it. I LOVE THE PAPERS! :) She sent me a lot of them, but the two that got me so far are the burgundy Merry and Bright and the music sheet paper. I used them on hybrid projects for right now...BUT be on the look out for some digi layouts from me using this paper..I also think I am gonna use the paper for some Christmas card swaps I am in. :) Everytime I look back at the file..I see something else I can work with and really for me the only other digi designer who has been consistently making me do that is Katie Pertiet. :)

I will say that Jeanie has evolved from a paper creator to a wonderfully creative digi designer. Love you, Jeanie! ((HUGS))

So, here are my projects.

Totally Stamps Challenge #2: Fall/Thanksgiving

Hey all! Well we are almost done with Halloween here in Montana.  We had a BLAST tonight with Sasha and I will post pics soon.  I had the hardest time getting on Blogger today and for a little tonight, but figured out the problem and did a system restore on my computer and Voila! I am on Blogger.

Michelle on the Totally Stamps Blog gave us all a challenge to do a Fall/Thanksgiving project. Michelle is so great...she let's us make the call on whether it is a layout, card, anything we can think of as long as it goes with the theme for the challenge.

I decided to do a card! :) I have been liking doing my cards lately. I am usually a scrapbooker and a gift maker, but I really have been liking the whole card thing lately. :) I had bought an Inkadinkadoo stamp set last year at Michael's and was hoping to be able to use it. I got my chance on this card:

What I used: Cardstock from Recollections (Kraft) and Stampin' Up (brown), K&Co (Pearls), Chatterbox (brown brads), Autumn set from Inkadinkadoo, Fiskars (deckle) scissors, Nik Bantok (Brown) ink pad, Tim Holtz (Distress Ink), Ranger foam applicators, Studio G (Let's Celebrate) stamp.

Thanks for looking! :)

Thinking of You card

I just love this card! :) I love the colors and the beauty of it. It was also a card that took only about 2o minutes. Rachel Ray does 30 Minute Meals? Well, I did a 20 minute card...who doesn't like that? ;) Even you busy people out there can create a gorgeous card with your Cricut if you have 20 minutes! :)

I used my Potpourri Basket Cart that I just got from Ebay for the frame! :) I remember when you could only get this cart when you bought the infomercial Cricut Expression...but I was finally able to get it under $50! :) WooHoo....BONUS! :) LOL! I think that the frame is also a part of the Storybook cart that I also have, but I wanted to see what PB had. :) The butterfly is from Ashlyn's Alphabet. :)

I used Storybook for the frame which I cut and then glued with my Zig pen to my Chatterbox patterned paper. I then used some Polymark iridescent puff paint on the little flowers. I cut the butterfly out with Ashlyn's Alphabet in two different sizes and pop dotted those together and it came out GORGEOUS! :) I then put the ribbon on and just cut a notch in the top corner of the card to the ribbon would just fall in there. I used some CTMH beads on the ends of the ribbon. The "Thinking of You" is a rub-on from Scrapease. :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)
