Holy Moley, look what a little encouragement did...

I cannot thank my Facebook encouragers enough for helping me with my Christmas cards today. I so wanted to learn the print and cut feature on the Cameo but I was so intimidated. I was pointed to a wonderful fellow Facebooker's Youtube page (Hi Jin of Under a Cherry Tree) and watched her video (as well as Silhouette America's) and set to work. I managed to get all the my cards done. Here they are:






I am astounded by how easy this all is!! Everything was cut with Cameo Silhouette except for the ornaments. Those were from a Creative Memories embellishment pack. Sorry for the poor pics but I was so excited to post these :) Until next time.....

It's almost Christmas....




and here I sit trying to decide if I want to make my cards using Print n Cut feature or do it the ole fashioned way. What a dilemma. Since I have not had a post in a bit I thought I would do a bit of an update. I have taken on a new position (an entire department in fact) at work and the hours are grueling as I have inherited a bit of a mess. My craft time has been pretty much squashed. Good news is I am on vacation from work until the 31st. I would say sorta on vacation as I still check emails and such. But come the 26th-the 28th, they will need to live without me. Here is the reason...

On my last trip South, Dad just did not seem right. He had lung cancer a bit over 2 years ago and he was experiencing a lot of pain on the same side. Over two months he began deteriorating and finally agreed to go to the ER. Well, his cancer is back and he is facing a very serious surgery next month and then chemo and radiation. I appreciate all your good thoughts and prayers during this time and I hope to squeeze in some creative time to keep me sane. Well, I better get back to my cards. Wishing you and yours from me and mine, a very happy holidays :)

Until next time.....
