Some of my Christmas cards

Here are some Christmas cards I made this year. There were more but I mailed them out before I realized I forgot to take a picture of them. I do that with a lot of my projects. I've been checking out a lot of blogs and You Tube and some of the cards are so lovely they make my jaw drop. Merry Christmas to all you wonderful talented, bloggy friends. Be safe and God Bless...Hugs, Debi

Advent calender

I made this Advent Calendar for my daughter. It's made out of small match boxes. I put ribbon for the pulls and decorated the boxes with paper. Used some bling, flowers, cricut cuts and numbers. The over all size it about 12x12. There are also some stickers. I only did it for the odd days of Dec. If I would have done one for each day, it would have been way too big.  Let me know if you made an Advent calendar, I'd love to come look at it. Hugs, Debi

Santa card

Isn't this card cute? I can't take credit for the idea of the beard on this card. I saw a card like this over at Tracey's web site...craft junky too. She made the cutest card like this (only better) and I wanted to try my hand at it. It's not the same but I put my own twist on this one. I think she is the queen of doodling. Okay, I just wanted to share this card with you all today.  Yes I did give it away lol.  I'm almost done with all my Christmas projects. Hugs, Debi

Cookies...YUM!

Ya hoo...another entry.  I'm not much of a baker but my hubby just loves these cookies fresh from the oven. My sister taught me when I was young that the secret to a good cookie is not to over bake it. These came out so nice and soft and crinkled on the top just like they should. My favorite cookies is a suger cookies with frosting on top. Tell me what your favirite cookie is. Happy baking... Hugs, Debi

Tolet paper roll art.

Here my friends is some art, or a snowflake, done with an empty tolet paper roll. I got this from Pinarest. I painted it and added some chunky glitter and used my die cuts in the center with a stick on snowflake. I'm going to enter this at gettingcricky.com Sunday challage. It's been a very long time sense I'v entered any challenges. Stop by her blog and check out the DT projects they are awesome. Thanks for looking. Warm hugs, Debi

This is a Fall card I made for my cousin. It's a Z fold card. Mary at Cardstv shows how to make this. I found the picture on the internet and it looked so fun I printed it up and made a card from it. Hope you enjoy it. 

Hugs, Debi

Here is some Halloween test tubes I made. The bottles were a little big but they were the only ones I could find. I found the instructions on YT at dawn7133. She is a stampin up demo but makes the cutest projects.
Hugs, Debi.

A card box

This is a card with a box. I put some wonderful little votive candles in the box part and made the card area into a birthday card for my daughter, her birthday is Oct also. Here is where I found the instructions for this project. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNKc-t0AxbI I'm sure there are other places on YT for this but I found this first and used it. I think it turned out so pretty. I want to make more of these if I have time. 
Hugs, Debi

A birthday card

I'm going to play catch up here. I have a few projects to post so I might need to post more then one a day. First of all here is a birthday card I made for my sister in Oct. She is one of the sweetest people I know. If she wasn't my sister I would want her for my friend. All of my sisters are my best friends...and my brother is too. As you can see it isn't really straight but I always say if you want a perfect card you might have to go buy one for $5. Hand made cards are always special. Thanks for stopping by and looking today. I do hope you will leave a comment and let me know what you think or if you've made a birthday card and want to share let me know so I can hop over and look. Warm winter hugs, Debi

My sweety made this for my craft room. I love it and wanted to share it.

I've been going thru some files and found a lot of photo's I haven't posted of Father's day cards and Birthday cards etc. I will get them posted and then keep up on my most recent projects. I'm looking for an advent calendar that I can make and not have to have a SVG file. I don't have SCAL.

I'm so happy you stopped by...thank you my bloggy family for sticking with me. I'm getting back into my craft room and will be posting a lot more. Big sweet hugs, Debi

Dawn over at dawn5377 on youtube did a really simple version of this card and ta da...I did it.

Finely made a card.

I wanted to make a card for a young lady who is really my daughters friend but I like her, she is a sweetheart of a person.  She went through some hard times and I wanted to let her know I was thinking about her. There aren't any cricut cuts on here. The flower is from my stash that I bought last year. The paper is DCWV. Thanks for stopping by...Im trying real hard to get back into the swing of things here. Hugs my sweet friends, Debi

Altered pic frame

Sorry I'v been mia. My mind hasn't been right for awhile but I'ts getting better and thank you to my followers for hanging with me. I'm trying to keep crafting but nothing seems to looks right. I do like how this little frame turned out. I thought I would post it and keep my blog going as best I can. I still look at blogs and watch You Tube. I'm still amazed at the talent there is here on this great bloggy world. I love you all. Hugs, Debi

Congrats, class of 2011

Hello crafters.  I have some cards I'v just loaded on my PC. I want to post them even though they are a little old now.  Well not really too old but I made this graduation card back in June.  I used  3 different carts.  3 Birds on Parade, Create a Critter and Wild Card. I'm not sure you can see the little tassle on the hat. I also used my Cuddle bug to cut out the Congrats and used Swiss Dot on the background. I made this for a guy to give to his Niece and he like it so well he paid me for it. (yippy)  Thanks for stopping by. Hope you'll leave a comment and tell me what if you like it.  Hugs, Debi

I just have to share this picture. I'ts my grand daughter. I just adore her and got to meet her on June 22nd. She is such a good baby and my daughter is a very good mommy. My daughter started a web site ittybittybracelets. Please go check it out. I think you'll like what you see.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoying this pic of my sweet Raina.  Hugs, to all...Debi

I really like blog awards, thank you Susan.

Is this award cute or what? Susan from Cricut and Grasshopper was sweet enough to give this award to my blog. Please take the time to click and visit her and give her some bloggy love.  So, I want to pass this along to some blogs I like to visit on a regular basis. I hope you will visit these blogs...you won't be sorry. I'v said before and I'll say it again...I love being part of this crafting blog world.

Just a note. It has been a very busy summer so far. I'v been busy with family reunions and got to meet my new Granddaughter in MN. But I'll be back to crafting real soon. I have made a few cards but I sent them out and forgot to take pic's of them. Big crafty hugs to everyone.

"Your in my thoughts." I made these little roses myself from a video on YT you can find the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weLkIUeAvmA.  I like the way this card came out. I made for a friend who just found out she has cancer. How sad for her. She is only 62. I hope she is a fighter. I'm sure each of us has been touched one way or another with this awful thing.
I have had blogger issues. I still can't sign in to leave comments. I'm just now able to post projects. Is anyone else having these troubles? If you've been able to fix them can you let me know how. I can still enjoy your blogs but I have to leave comments as annomous.(I know that is misspelled)  Hugs to all...Debi

A Tweet B-Day Card...

So, I didn't have a tweet birthday wishes stamp so I crossed out the S and wrote in a T.  Birds On Parade. How cute is this bird in the birthday hat? And I used one of the pretty flowers that Schell from Schell's Craft Corner sent me and put a pearl in it. A boarder of birthday hats and a ribbon and there you have it...a tweet birthday card. The girl I sent this to really liked it and sent me a message on Facebook. So let me know if think it's cute too. Hugs, Debi

Grad Card

The best part about this card is the tassel. I braided some embrodrey floss and undid the end for the tassel part. My friend, who's daughter is graduating this year, made this card and I helped by doing the cuts and the tassel. Oh, and that is a real silver button on the cap too. On the inside we used a punch that looks like paper torn out of a note book and embossed "Congrats". She was so happy with the way it turned out. I like it too. How about you? Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Hugs, Debi
