The shepherd boy from Winter Frolic is the focus of this card. I used my Big Kick to emboss the background to add some interest without taking away from the boy and title and inked the edges of the cuts with brown chalk ink to give it some depth. The inside is stamped with one of my favorite SU Christmas stamps, from the City of David set.

Christmas tree card
I've got another Christmas card, using the tree from the SU Christmas Lodge stamp and the Frostwood Lodge paper from their holiday mini-catalog. I've got to get on the stick and get some of these ready to go in the mail!

Embossed Christmas card
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We celebrated yesterday, as I had to work on Thanksgiving day. Today is all about kicking back and eating leftover pie! I made this Christmas card using my Big Kick to do the embossing, plus some Stampin'Up stamps and cardstock.

Here Kitty mini album (pic heavy)
This mini is for a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law, who is a huge cat lover and has two adorable new kittens. I was having a hard time coming up with a gift idea, so I hope she likes this! I used the Meow cartridge and the super cute We R MemoryKeepers Friends Furever paper I had left over from another project. The mini is 5x7, so she can put 4x6 pics in easily, as she is not a scrapbooker.
Cricut:
Meow-all cuts
Paper-We R Memory Keepers Friends Furever, plus one piece of Bella Blvd Tail Waggers and Catnaps
stickers-from Hobby Lobby?
I'm linking this to the BBTB2 challenge to use the mouse from Meow. I have two cute little mice begging not to get eaten for a snack in this mini!

So excited!
My Holiday recipe mini album made the Nov. 22 Cricut Chirp!!!! How cool is that? Since the fam was kind of giving me the "that's nice mom, but I'm hungry" deal when I told them, I had to share somewhere where there are papercrafters who would actually think it's cool :)
Pile of gifts Christmas card
This Christmas card is made with an SU stamp I borrowed from my best friend, and I can't remember the name of the set. The paper is some retired SU paper that I also "borrowed". (Is is called borrowing when you take your friend's paper-since they don't get it back?) I put some diamond stickle on the bows of the presents, but it didn't really show up in the picture. The big scallop is cut with a Sizzix die, which incidentally ,I also "borrowed".
