I sure am enjoying the holiday season with my hubby home...so it is a really good thing I started making all these Christmas cards back in July! So, onto today's card...this one was super fun to color!

 

I have been using up things from my stash to make this years Christmas cards and I am terrible at writing down the products I used...I will promise to try and get better at that!

 

All of my supplies of course were purchased through Scrapping for Less!

Christmas Card Series 2016: Card #2

Well, a day late again! Please forgive me as I am adjusting to my hubby's retirement and him being home with me 24/7....absolutely love it but it is certainly an adjustment!

Kim...my Christmas card making partner in crafting did get her card #2 up so head on over to Sunshine, Smiles, and Cards to see her super cute card!


Here is my creation for today:

Supplies Used:

Dashing through the Snow Avery Elle Stamp 

Ribbon from my stash

Pattern paper from my stash

Copic Markers

Versafine Onyx Black Ink

Glossy Accents

And as usual, all supplies came from Scrapping for Less...

Lots of supplies/goodies can be found here!

2016 Christmas Card Series: Card #1

Well, nothing like being a bit late! It has been a super busy week! My friend Kim and I came up with a plan way back earlier this year to do a Christmas Card series...we had a blast shopping (from Scrapping for Less of course), planning, and even creating cards together a little bit. You see we live about an hour and a half away from each other and even though we could spend at least 4 days a week making cards together that is always not practical...so we try to do the next best thing and Facetime so we can craft together. We got lots and lots accomplished prior to my hubby retiring on October 31. Not so much since then...hopefully we will get back into our groove soon. For now, enjoy the cards we created...some we used the same stamp, some we used inspiration from each other and some we just came up with ourselves! Both of us will be posting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Check out Kim's post on Friday!


Here is what I came up with for today or better yet should have been on Friday!

Supplies Used: 

Quilt Die (borrowed from a friend)

Doodlebug Home for the Holidays paper collection...oldie from my stash

Kraft cardstock

stamp? 

Hero Arts Super Fine White Embossing Powder

Join me again tomorrow for another Christmas card!

Living a Dream!

Have you ever had a dream? I don't mean a dream while you are asleep. I mean a dream, a vision, a goal, a passion? Well, I have and guess what? I am living that dream. With a wonderful man that just retired 2 weeks ago, we are living the dream. A dream we have had for all of our married life. A dream to be able to relax, take it easy, be together, and enjoy family! And that is just what we have done lately! Here are a few photos of enjoying life lately....

Being able to go have lunch as a family with these three kiddos at the Thanksgiving Family Feast....priceless!

 

Celebrating my wonderful husband's retirement with the family....extremely priceless!

 

 

 

 

and the most special one of all...the silly pic!

I cannot wait to get this pictures scrapped and in the albums!

Scrapping for Less: Grand Opening Blog Hop!

Hello All!

Happy Saturday! We are so excited to bring you a blog hop celebrating the opening of scrappingforless.com ! We wanted to do something fun for you all as you are the best customers under the sun and have helped make this dream a reality.

So before we get busy hopping we need to let you all know a few bits of information for this new site.

·         All items that are on the website are what we consider “leftovers” which means they are not new to any of you that order through the FaceBook Group on a regular basis.

·         Scrappingforless.com will be available 24 hours, 7 days a week so that you can go shopping AND you can check out as well with a credit card or PayPal whichever method you prefer.

·         scrappingforless.com WILL NOT be replacing Scrapping For Less FaceBook Group, so if you are looking for Scrap Supplies at less than retail prices the FaceBook Group is STILL the place where all the pre-order albums will be listed.

There will be lots of fun games, prizes and scrappy things going on Saturday with the Facebook Event. You will want to be there. Each blog will have a small giveaway with the Scrapping for Less blog having a bigger one. To be eligible to win each blog's prize you will need to comment on the individual blogs but to win the Scrapping for Less prize you will need to comment on each blog and the SFL blog. So try to be there! You are going to want to join in on the fun!


Each one of the blog hop participants has created something using older products they purchased from Scrapping for Less. Since the focus of the website will be to sell what I term as "leftovers" yet fabulous and great products we have focused on those items we as crafters seem to purchase and then hoard. Cause who would not want to use up their stash, right?



I want to showcase a cute Halloween card...I tend to hoard Doodlebug items and this Halloween collection is no exception...I used the super cute    to create these cards! There are lots of Doodlebug items listed for sale over on the website...not this one but I am sure you will find something you like!
