The Slice and Spellbinders Meet

I wanted to make something a little out of the norm for me. I just upgraded my Slice with the new MS function so I was keen on using this little die cut machine in one of my card designs. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment is from the new "Words and Expressions Holiday" design card. The new upgrade allowed me to shadow the sentiment. The angel is from last year's "Fa La La" design card. I mounted her with pop dots to my Spellbinders "In Spades" die.

I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug folder, "Snow Dots". This is the first card I have created in a long time that I did not color or stamp.

Thanks for looking!

Aaack!!!

I forgot to add that when we returned home last Sunday, I had a message on my phone stating our card ministry had been "volunteered" to make ***60*** greeting cards for our district minister's meeting this coming Monday. Our ministry group met on Thursday and we have been busy little beavers! Thank heaven for digital stamps! I downloaded a cornucopia image from All That Scraps and found a traditional hymn for the inside. Here is one of the cards we created:

and the hymn inside:

Now we just have to finish assembling all the cards. Thanks for looking!

I've Been Gone Too Long!

I just wanted to post since I have been totally swamped since the middle of October. DH and I vacationed around Boone, NC for ten days and we were suprised with SNOW! Here is a picture outside our cabin door. The mountains in the foreground have a light dusting contrasted with the picture in the background:

So...we missed the fall burst of color, most of the leaves had been blown away. It was still a wonderful vacation an one we greatly needed!

Daisy Happy Birthday

My mother celebrated her 87th birthday Tuesday, October 13th. Happy birthday mom! I have had this edgeability for quite a while, but finally got a chance to try it out. I decided to cut the frame and adhere it to SU cardstock which was embossed with my cuttlebug. My only stamping was for the sentiment which is from SU.

We celebrated by taking her out to dinner and surrounding her with lots of grandchildren and great-grandchildren!
