I got together with all of my favorite gals over the weekend for a Christmas Card workshop put on by our wonderful Close To My Heart Rep Ronah. I love the colors of these Winter Wonderland cards.

 Jolly Santa Claus with his big pack of presents.

 And a couldn't be cuter little elf!

We made two of each, so the fact that I have 8 holiday cards done in October is a miracle in itself!

Peace & Luv,

 

Miss Ally is in the house!!  We made a dum-dum sucker bouquet and used a flower punch to put matching paper flowers underneath the suckers before we poked them into a pot with a styrofoam ball in it....and then she made a birthday card for her friend Vivi... 

 

 I personally love what she put on the inside...
 

If you can't read it - it sez....I hope you have a good birthday and you get good presents!

  Out of the mouths of babes - right??!!!  Love it!

Peace & Luv,

Tomorrow is Boss's Day and since I made a thank you card with this layout a little while ago and liked it, I thought I'd use it again. I hope she likes it too...

Peace & Luv,

All I've got for ya is three boy cards....here's the first, with Stampin' Up papers.  Not sure if the pointy nestie layer behind the name circle looks too girly or not?  I thought it kinda looked like the sun, except blue....

Here's the second one, or Paul #1 using CTMH papers.  A rather funky little layout I came across on a card I saw on Pinterest that I liked.

Then there's Paul #2, combining Stampin' Up cardstock with CTMH papers.  Not much more to say about it.  It is after all a boy card.  If you notice I almost always use brads, well in this case I used them on all 3.  I like to think that they man them up a bit...

It's still Thursday so...Happy Friday-Eve!

Peace & Luv,
