Tied together with Love

I punched wholes along the wide pink ribbon then took off the handle then threaded the ribbon on then tied White and Balck in between. The Black ribbon has white stitching on it so it matched the paper perfectly

You know me I have to Have Ribbon.

As Part of the swap we had to include

1 card

2 tags

10 Twinchies ( 2x2 embellishments)

So I used my scraps and made these.

2 tags

10 twinchies

Snowflake cut out card ACY

This is one of the coolest things about this cartidge which I will play with so much more.
It has a card function key for this card, I pressed the card function key . The size was 5 1/2, then the Winter key, which is the one with the child and a snowman, then pressed cut.
Then let the magic begin. . My machine then cut the perfect card complete with 3 cut out snowflakes along the edge, Decorative edge and small holes for snow on the front of the card.
I then lined the card with white and added 3 gold brads to show through for the centers of the snowflakes.I inked the edges of the sentiment with a gold ink pad to mimic the Ribbon.
the sentiment says " May the true spirit of Christmas fill your heart with Peace, your home with Love" the sentiment is from Stampin up "Snow swirled" stamp set

I have a confession though For those that know me as the Ribbon addict. I actually picked my ribbon first then matched everything to the ribbon, Its an obsession I tell you LOL

Sparkly pink fairy ACY

this little cutie is for a card swap and the challenge was to use 3 shades of the same color.
I cut the Birthday fairy at 3 inches then cut the shadow the same.I used my cuttlebug embossing folder Swirls and birds for the background piece behind the fairy .I love this Pink glitter paper by k& CO which I found on sale at Ollies locally . I used pop dot adhesive on my fairy to make her stand out
and the border on the Glitter paper was cut with My Fiskers border punch.

God created mothers ACY

This is a ATC ( artist trading card) for a swap I am in the theme was mix and match so we had to combine something from 2 lists of topics . so this is family and black and white. Or family and quotes, I can't decide.
the quote says: God could not be everywhere so he created Mothers"
I cut the mother and baby in black at 3 inches then cut the shadow white at same size.
then the mother leaning down I cut at 2 1/2 I think It may of been 2 I didn't right it down. then I used pop dots to raise up the front image. there is a gold peel off sticker saying mother st the bottom of the card. Love how this turned out.

A childs year Cricut cartridge

For those of you that have a cricut machine. RUN don't WALK and get the A childs year cartridge.LOL For those local ladies come over and use it at my house. LOL
It is my all time favorite cartridge. I reach for it over and over again. it has many function keys as well as the great silhouettes which are so classy. The following posts will be a few projects I have done lately using this cartridge. And Believe me there will be many more.
