Happiness.....

Hello all my crafty friends!  I hope you have enjoyed your Christmas vacation.  :)

I wanted to share a card I made for a sweet lady.  I can't give too many details cause then she would know it is her!! ;)  I hope this card finds her happy and healthy!

(I would show you more of the inside, but I had written in it already! ;))

I really like how this card came out.

To make this card I used:

 Cart ~ Create a Critter (sized my butterfly on Gypsy)

Paper ~ Penny Lane and Colorbok (solids)

Stamp ~ SU for sentiment and flowers inside

Ink ~ Memento and Ranger Distress: tea dye

Coloring ~ Water color pencils (I didn't blend with water)

Happy Crafting!

Christmas Crafting Fun ~ Day 20

Hello all my crafting peeps!  Welcome to Michelle's Crafty Creations.

Today is day 20 of Christmas Crafting Fun hosted by Cooking With Cricut. We are having so much fun with all the creating going on.  I have been so impressed with my fellow designers and their talent!  I hope you have  been checking daily to get your free digi stamps and cutting files AND leaving a comment for your chance to win some pretty awesome goodies.

I can NOT believe Christmas is in FIVE days!!  Oh my....where has the time gone?  What's worse is I haven't even mailed out my Christmas cards! (my family would so not think this odd ;))  I will get that squared away tomorrow....gotta get my gifts out to the lil ones too!  Finally I will be able to take a breather, enjoy my son home from college, and make cookies! (He has already asked for some the past few days.  I guess I should be happy because he didn't say anything about "his" room being my craft room!)

Okay, for today's theme we are going back in time.  Not too far back....only one month!  Yep, thats' right....Turkey time!  Some of us have been working on calendar pages.  I have never done one before, and I really like them!   So I used the cutest little digi stamp from Paper Crafting World.  

To make this 6x6 lay out I used:

PCW turkey digi and month label

Paper ~ Fabric paper for tail of turkey, DCWV Holiday stack for solid and some from my stash

Misc. ~ glitter leaves from my stash, Kimberly watercolor pencils,  white gelly roll pen, Sizzix leaf embossing folder, foam dots for dimension, and gold distress stickles

Ink ~ Ranger Distress : tea dye, Colorbox Chalk in chestnut

25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 10

Welcome to Day 10 of 25 days of Christmas Crafting Fun hosted by Cooking With Cricut.  Boy has there been some pretty awesome projects!

Today's theme is ALL about Santa!  Oh my goodness the digis and cutting files are too adorable!  The DT was challenged to create a project with Santa.  Some used their Cricut, others used the digi stamps and cutting files.  My challenge was the digi stamp that is free today only!  I had a lot of fun with it!! :)

I made a shutter/trifold card
