Scrapbook Pal - Design Team Entry

Today, I am sharing another card that I made to send to relatives thanking them for the lovely gifts they gave to the kids. I used the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut Cartridge with the bird cut at 3.5. I am also trying out for the Scrapbook Pal Design team so I will be linking the products that I used to their site.

It's New Year's Eve and we are doing something different. Usually, we stay home and I cook which is not really fun for me. Tonight, we are meeting my sister and her family at a Japanese restaurant for Tepan-Yaki. I think the kids will have fun watching the chefs cook the food in front of them. Then we will go home and watch TV and drink sparkling cider. Not too exciting but actually it's the perfect night to me.

Winter Frolic Thanks

HI everyone, I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday. My husband bought me a brand new computer, an HP touch screen, Crazy! The computer I have right now is only about a year old so my step-daughter who needs a computer will be getting one. The kids were of course ecstatic to get their presents. We've been doing fun things this week. We went to a bounce house and to an art studio and today, we all played at Grandma and Grandpa's house and went to lunch. We are still debating what to do tomorrow, I would be happy to hang out at home.

The next couple of weeks I will be showing you all the Thank you cards that I made to send to relatives who gave presents to my children. This is a great time to use holiday paper, winter or holiday stamps and Cricut cuts.

I think today's card is so cute! I used the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge, cut at 3.5 and the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper pad. I used pink stickles on her cheeks and on the buttons of her coat.

Don't forget that I am offering blog candy and you can get a chance to win by commenting on each post until Friday.

I made about 10 of these giftcards, some for my sister and some for me to give. I found the information to make these on Splitcoaststampers. It looks just like a present and when opened, there should be a little giftcard waiting there.

Day 11 of the 25 Days of Christmas

Today's post is a gift that I am giving my sister for Christmas. It was intended to me an album with summer memories from last year but since it holds so many pictures, I had to make it for two years. The album is the Ultimate Paperbag Album from Paper Phenomenon, one of my favorite sites. You can see what it looks like with pictures. It only took a few hours to make but it came out really good.
