Today's card uses the Cricut cartridge Art Philosophy by CTMH. I cuttlebugged the base cardstock and I used the stamp set that matches these Cricut cuts. I hope that you all are ready for the holidays! My presents are all wrapped and ready to go. I have to make a Doll house and a scooter on Christmas eve and I have a really bad cold.

Day 18 of the 25 Days of Christmas

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.

This is a simple card that uses, I think doodlecharms. I used the swiss dots folder to emboss the dots on the trees for a little texture, almost looks like snow. The sentiment is from PTI.

Today's card is this cute Santa holding his bag full of presents. The cut is from the Jolly Holidays Cartridge. I did a bit of doodling and added some glitter to the hat and to the wrists. The sentiment is from PTI.

I had to share this cute picture of the kids with Santa. Tyler made sure to introduce himself and his sister and cousin to Santa, including ages. The kids told Santa what they wanted and Tyler was tickled when Santa remembered his name!

I cannot believe that Christmas is a week away and I still have so many presents to wrap. I don't remember buying this much stuff!

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.

Day 10 of the 25 Days of Christmas

Thanks for visiting today on the 10th day of the 25 Days of Christmas. The squirrel cut is from Jolly Holidays (I think, I used so many cartridges last month that it was hard to keep track). The tale was doodled with white gel pen and the hat and candy cane has red and diamond stickles. The dp is retired SU and the stamp is from PTI.

I am also showing a 2 page layout that I finally got around to making for our visit last year to Sea World. We had gone in August but got free tickets on that visit to come another day so we traveled to San Diego in December and got to visit with Santa and a nutcracker. I am also submitting this layout for a content at Olimpiahunt.blogspot.com.

Day 9 of the 25 Days of Christmas

This week's blog candy is this stamp set called Happy Moments. To win, just leave a comment on this post and I will post the winner next Friday. Last week's winner is Girlia: Please email me with your address so that I can mail your package to you.

Welcome to Day 9 of the 25 Days of Christmas, where I post all of my holiday projects with daily posts. Above, is a card that I made using retired SU dp and this crow from Jolly Holidays cricut cartridge. I used red and diamond stickles on the hat and the sentiment is from PTI.

Today, I am also sharing my photocard. This is a cute picture of my kids which was printed at 4x6. I then cut cardstock to meet that size and I used PTI die and stamp set in this pretty pink on the bottom of the card. I used Lily's dress to help me decide on the color. I felt that the picture was just so cute that I didn't need to dress it up with too much stuff.

Thanks for looking!
