Changito

My daughter and I made these ATC's (artist trading cards, that is) for her to pass out to her preschool class on Valentines Day. The size is perfect for little hands, and the design was so simple, I turned out 15 in no time!

Vials of Love....

My neighbor works at The Ohio State Univeristy Medical Center in a pathology lab, and was kind enough to bring home this vials (sterile, never used, of course!). They were just going ot toss them out in the trash, but you know my crafty brain got to thinking, and here is what I came up with... Love Potions!

M & M minis and Nerds candies fit in here perfectly! The digital stamp is available here. Flavored drink packets would be nice in here too!

Peek-A-Boo! Here I am!

Most of you probably thoughts I vanished off the face of the Internet, but nope! I'm here, barely hanging on, though. First it was soccer season, then the holidays, and now we have a dog and I an teaching a class at a local university in adition to my regular job as a teacher. PHEW! Anyways, I have been working on some new stuff, and I wanted to share with you all.

Here is a treat bag-a-lope that I made for the children at the babysitters. My daughter goes to a sitter in the afternoons after preschool, and the kids range in age from 6 mo. to 9 years, plus the sitter three own teenagers. I always try to send special treats for the holidays and birthdays, and I thought this was darling! Inside the package are animal crackers, wild animals, that is!

You can get the digital stamp here.

Stop by tomorrow for another valentine treat

Inspired by Summer Harvest

Isn't that a cute card, inspired by summer's sweet harvest of fresh veggies and fruits. The orange was created with Cricut's new Preserves cartridge, along with colors from Stampin up's current In-Color collection, and a *BRAND SPANKIN NEW* set of 9 digital phrases from Say It with Stamps by Jen.

Thanks for sticking with me!

In My Pocket

Once again, Laura Jean sucked me into one of her swaps ;) This time, I created these pocket cards for her 3rd annual pocket card swap.

The top card was made using the Just for Ewe digis available at Pink Petticoat. It is such a sweet image, and the collection is so versatile!

Next, I created an ode to America-- cherry pie! My mom makes THE BEST cherry pie, with a flaky golden crust, sweet and tart in every bite. The stamp is a $1 clear stamp that I picked up at Michael's, and I used my Scor-Pal to create the background that looks like a tiled countertop.

Baby Jesus is Born

This little lovely is from Stampin Up's retired list, titled Baby Jesus is Born. I hand-drew the star and added jute to finish off the card.


These CAS cards are so awesome when you have to make 40+ card for the holidays!

Some more cards with images from Pink Petticoat, I just could not get enough of these little trees!
