One of my creative habits is to scrolling through Pinterest each morning while I drink my coffee, This helps to jump start my morning, preparing me for a creative day. 

While on Pinterest the other morning I came across this simply gorgeous card that had me run up to my office and re-create it with my own twist. I thought a little more color and holly leaves would make a nice addition. 

I haven't made a shaker card in a while...not sure why because they are oh so fun! 

I love the clean graphic look of this design. It's different from most of my cards. What do you think? I was considering a white on white snowflake in the upper left-hand corner, but I left it alone.

Christmas Joy

Hello!

This is my second post today so please make sure you scroll down to the first because I have a special tutorial for creating adorable little paper houses!

How are your Christmas preparations coming along? I can't believe some of my cards are being held up by lack of postage stamps! Yep, the post office was out! What the......! This is one snag I didn't anticipate! I ordered some stamps on-line right away so hopefully they'll arrive quickly and things will be back on track.

Today I have another project share, a Christmas card...'tis the season! :)

I created this card using the Bella Blvd. Christmas Wishes collection and an inspiration photo you have to check out here. I promise you will be happy you did because my teammates created some gorgeous projects that I had to Pin!

Don't you just love banners? And presents? Pretty wrapped presents?

I hope you enjoyed my share...and don't forget to check out my previous post for today for a gift giving tutorial!

Hello and a happy Monday to you!

It's Thanksgiving week already! Are you ready? Yes? No? If you're not, let's agree that we're not going to sweat the details and just enjoy ourselves! And perhaps take a little time to unwind with a crafty project! Oh, and maybe a pomegranate martini! Sometimes a cocktail is just what the doctor ordered to relax a bit! ;)

I spent part of the weekend getting crafty and made this card.

It's a mixture of Echo Park and Papertrey Ink goodies. I think the two compliment each other beautifully!

I love using jingle bells on Christmas projects! And snowflakes!

I have a new picture of the babies, Cinnamon and Sugar!

This morning when I went up to my office the little rascals were still awake! They're usually fast asleep by the time I've showered and eaten breakfast. So the two of them crawled on me while I walked around the house for a bit. They love to take turns cruising around on the other's back!

Now don't ask me which one is which! I can't tell! I can only tell them apart by Cinnamon's ear; she has a little notch in her left ear, but I can't see it in this photo! Little Cinnamon is making progress, she's less and less afraid everyday. And Sugar is getting more playful and adventurous everyday too. They're a lot of fun!

Well, I have a few things I have to do so I'm going to leave you now and get to it. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Kathy :)
