Welcome to my brand new blog.

Hello and welcome. I can't tell you how many times I have started a paper crafting blog in the last few years. Somehow I never manage to keep up with it and then I end up deleting it because it sits there for so long. Well I am on to a new crafty blog. This time I plan on incorporating both my cards and layouts and hopefully that will give me enough content to keep it going. I have been scrapbooking and making cards for almost twenty years (time flies when you're having fun!) So you will find a variety of each here on the blog. Since its almost Christmas I will start the blog off with a holiday card.

 

For this Christmas Card I used this sweet skate die by Quickutz and tied some floss through the holes for the lace. I die cut it from red and silver cardstock and pieced it together. The tag and scalloped frame are a PTI die and I die cut them from white and Kraft cardstock and stitched around the outer portion of the tag before adding a metal eyelet and some red and white baker's twine. I used a mini snowflake punch and added a few mini snowflakes and attached the tag to the card with foam adhesive. The background paper is from my scrap bin but if my memory serves me I believe it is by SEI. This is a tall and skinny card measuring 3.25 x 6.5".

 

 

If you like my card, please leave me a comment and let me know. I would love to hear from you!
