It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Greetings all!

Now that I have my markers and Exclusive Ink Stamp pads organized, I could start creating. I decided to make a Christmas card to start out with. Here it is....

The supplies I used are:

Ruby 12" x 12" cardstock (X5927)

White Daisy 12" x 12" cardstock (1385)

3D Foam tape (Z1151)

Art Philosophy Cricut Collection (Z1686)

Exclusive Inks Stamp Pads: Hollyhock (Z2128), Ruby (Z2170) and New England Ivy (Z2135)

My Acrylix Stamp Sets: Merriest Christmas (B1468) and Trim a Tree (A1149)

Silver Geometric Washi tape (Z1932)

Sparkles Black and Grey Assortment (Z1754)

The ornaments and tag are all cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut Collection. I like how this is pretty clean and simple. I can see mass producing this pretty easily. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you come back this week for another card I made. 

Remember, that I have a special offer this month in honor of my birthday.

On my website (suenj.ctmh.com), I have an Online Party going. If you place an order in any amount this month, you get entered to win this stamp set.


So come on by and join the festivities. I look forwarding to giving away a present in honor of my birthday. Winner will be announced on October 4th. Until next time....

What's On Your Desk Challenge

Greetings all!

I hope this post finds you very well and crafting away! We received out first Design Team Assignment for Crafty Card Gallery and it gave me the excuse to use items on my desk that I have never touched. As some of my followers know, I am an Independent Consultant for Creative Memories and my own best customer. I love the products and had ordered some Christmas paper and embellishments and the new Hexagon Place n Punch. Well I whipped this card up in 5 mins flat! 

Now to get you in the Christmas mood, you can look here for your own ideas. I plan on making a gazzillion of these for sure! Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day. Until next time....

Christmas Recipe and Christmas Cards Blog Hop, Round 1 (Dec. 2-3)

Welcome to Round One of the Christmas Cards & Cookies Blog Hop! You should have come from my fabulous friend Kari's blog. If you are starting here and wish to hop from the beginning of the hop, please visit Dena’s blog.


There was so much response to the Christmas Cards & Cookies Blog Hop that it had to be split between two weekends. This is Round One and begins Saturday, Dec. 3rd, continuing through Sunday, Dec. 4th. Round Two will be held next weekend. We have a talented group of women who love papercrafting and baking. Each of them is sharing a recipe for a yummy Christmas treat along with a Christmas card or tag. Hopefully, you’ll pick up some great ideas for your own Christmas gift giving this season. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy!   

My project is a recipe frame card that you can give as a gift to friends and family. I picked my famous Thumbprint cookies. My kids eat these pretty much put of the oven so it is hard to give them away :) I took a photo card frame from Michael's (8 pack for $1.50) and printed the recipe with clipart. I plan on giving these with cookies in the jar as Christmas presents. Here are the pics of my project:

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to visit Julie K's blog next to see what she has to share with you!
