12 Days of Goodies Swap-Day 12

Hi Everyone,

Today I am opening the gift for Day 12!  We are starting at 12 and counting down to 1.  My gift was wrapped in a red and white snowflakle bag with a white snowflake clothes pin.  Inside was a pair of tweezers with pink pads on them.  Love them.  Thanks Misaswan!

I made this Noel card today for my best friend fromn High School for our Christmas dinner today.  I used  Anna Griffin's Cartridge Winter Wonderful and the cut was 2.75 inches.  I also used a Martha Stewart Snowflake punch on the bottom border.  Thanks for stopping by!   

12 Days of Christmas Swap-Day 1

Hi Everyone!
It is finally the first day of our Cricut Swap.  I just opened my box and card and my secret Circlette Swap Sister is..... Misaswan!  I want to Thank Misaswan for all of the time and effort that went into my gifts.  My gifts are all wrapped in red and green paper with snowflake paper clips on the tags and baker's twine tied onto the gifts.  They look great under the tree!  Kittyscraps (aka Graycie kitty)  couldn't wait to see the presents.  Here are some pics.
      

I love my card from Misaswan!  It has a very cool border punched bottom edge with silver glitter paper showing through.  Very Festive!  The above pictures show Kittyscraps peeping at me through the christmas tree branches.   Happy December 12th everyone!

December Daily/Journal Your Christmas Book 2013-Covers

Hi All,

Here are pictures of my cover which isn't finished yet.  I also have pictures of the inside covers which are completed.

I used October Afternoon-Silent Night Collection-First Noel paper for the covers.  The green color in the print is actually blue.  I wanted to put some fun in the book so I added the reindeer joke and the Cosmo Cricut Santa Helper's Name Guide.  I have been journaling my first four days and need to print some pictures out to catch up.  I am not sure what I want to do on the cover yet so that will come later.
      

Store Window Displays in my Hometown

Hi Eveyone,
Today I also took pictures of the store window displays in my hometown.  Here are a few pictues.
Arabica is really cool.

Christmas in my Hometown

Hi Everyone,

Today I took pictures of my Hometown decorated for Christmas.  The Decorations are from when I was a child and they are started using them a few years ago.  They are just great.  I remember these decorations from when I was small and can't believe they are using them again.  FYI-the tinsel strands contain matching lights in the same color as the tinsel which you may not see in these pictues since it is daylight.  Santa was located in the middle of the lights and there was always a long line and it was usually cold.  But worth the wait.  All of the sidewalks are lined with light strands also.  It was a beautiful day today and close to 60 degrees.  It has been in the 30's for the last two weeks.  Good day for a walk and for taking pictues.

This is a three person snowball fight.  The person in the middle lights up and switches sides and throws snowballs.  The white circles light up as snowballs.  Santa is the o top of the silver/white tower and is throwing down snowballs onto a elf below.

Steampunk Spells-Fall Mini Album Swap

Hi bloggers, I made a Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Halloween mini album for our Cricut swap. My exchange partner was Ms. Chewie. I followed the pocket mini album page tutorials by Ginger-My Sisters Scrapper and used the Hinge system by Kathy Orta. Love this pocket page mini album. I did take me about 24 hours to make. Here are the pics:
