December 7 - Circle Easel Card

Today I am posting a Circle Easel Card that I made.  I really love this card.  It was fun to make and I think I will be making more of these.  I used the Spellbinders Nestabilities Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies to cut the card pieces.  I hope you enjoy this card!

Happy Friday!!!!

December 6 - Another Christmas Card

The colors are a little off on this Christmas card in the picture but it is so much prettier in person.  I love using sequins now, but I am all about the glitter!  All of these items are from A|Muse!  Just love their papers!

Hope you enjoy this card!

Happy Thursday, Hugs, Meg

December 5 - Christmas Decorating

Ok, so most people that know me, know that I absolutely love Christmas.  I wish that we could keep the decorations up and the cheer that appears to be in everyone's heart up year round.  This time of year seems to bring out the best in so many people.  There are a few that are the typical Scrooge's or Grinch's - you know who you are! - but most people are in the best spirit.  My husband thinks I go a little overboard sometimes when I am decorating for Christmas, but I like to look around and see the lights, glitter, colors, and love to smell fresh pine, cinnamon, cookies baking, ginger, etc.  One item that I love to use at Christmas is the cranberry - love reds at Christmas.  I use cranberries in water with white candles.  I am going to show you a picture of what I have in my kitchen.  Just love how this looks, especially when the candles are burning.  And can you see the beautiful poinsetta that I got this year?  Love the color and the glitter all over it.  Not sure you can tell there is glitter, but there is.

Just wish there was a way I could incorporate a ladybug into this scene, LOL!

Enjoy!

December 4 - Lights for Christmas

I wanted to share the Christmas lights that we have put up outside on our house.  I just love the way my hubby decorates the outside.  He uses red and green spotlights against the house to give it a beautiful color.  We also put white lights on the bushes.  I need to take a pic of the side of the house where we just hung a 60 inch wreath.  We redid it last night with lights, new ribbon, and new ornaments.  I will try to get a pic tonight and add to this post.  Stay tuned!

Here is the side of the house.  

I just love Christmas and lights!  Happy Tuesday!

December 3 - Santa Flight Card

One of my favorite items these days is Splash!  I love spraying my cards.  On this card, you put down the snowflake die cut and them spritz the winter sky color on the paper.  When you lift up the snowflake, you have a beautiful background for your card!  I always add a little sparkle, not sure you can see it in this picture, but if you know me, you know it is there!

Hope you enjoy this!

Happy Monday,

Hugs, Meg

December 2 - Folded Tree Card

Today I am showing a card that I made with half a circle.  When the half circle is folded just right, you will have a tree that you can decorate for your card.  If you would love instructions on how to do this, just email me.  I think this is a simple, yet really cute card.  Hope you enjoy it!

Happy Sunday!

December 1 - Holiday Scarf

I don't think that either my mom or mother-in-law ever look at my blog - at least I am hoping they don't at this point.  I am going to post something new every day until I have surgery on December 14th.  Here is my first post.  I know, I am a day late, but better late than never.  We were so busy yesterday with lights and football games, and friends, etc.  So here is the scarf that I have made.  I knitted one for my mom and one for my mother-in-law.  I think they will enjoy these over the holidays!  I love the sparkle in them!

Happy December,

Hugs, Meg
