Been away for a long while

Last year was a pretty tough year.  I didn't do a lot of creating.  For me, being creative is therapy, but when your mind is bogged down, it is also difficult to create.  This summer, I cleaned out my craft room again and started to create again.  Here are a few things I have done over the last few months.

Monogram set of note cards for someone dear

 These are all cards I made for a friend who is a Missionary in New Zealand, so they will be traveling around the world.  :)

Dotty For You Test

Just a quick play time with the New Dotty For You paper pack.  Sunset is one of my favorite colors. I also had a little fun with my cricut.  Playtime is so far and few between these days.

Not Crafting Much

Wow, can't believe my last post was in November.  Time flies a lot faster in your 40's.  I have been helping my second daughter from a different mother, get ready for her wedding and, working for the public school system,  it has been standardized testing season.  My craft time has been limited.  Here are a few things that I have done over the last few months. 

I really like our Cruisin paper for masculine cards.  The stamp set is from the WOTG.  

And the Winner's Are...

So I finished cutting and designing my Christmas Cards for the year.  I am now hoping for a Snow Day in order to finish them. I have also been playing with my camera settings and displaying my cards better.  Hope you like the outcome.

These three, along with the dress form from my October 27th post, are the winners for this years cards.  I really enjoyed creating again.   I know that I am using last year's paper, but after cleaning my craft room, I need to be a consumer of my supplies and not a hoarder. 

Heart 2 Heart Color Challenge

This one took me several tries.  I love our Idea book, because it was my design inspiration.

The color challenge was Bamboo, Juniper and Autumn Terracotta.  I used Stamp Set B1395, So Grateful.
