Etched Drinking Glasses

I made some etched drinking glass sets for Christmas gifts this year!    I have a really hard time getting good pictures of glass etchings, so I hope you can see the design.

This design I got from a freebie online coloring page.

                           This one is from the Cricut cartridge "Team Spirit".

I made each of them a set of four.  They were a pretty good hit!

Tuesday Throwdown Sketch Challenge

We have a sketch this week at Tuesday Throwdown!  It's a fun, super easy one, but a great base for fantastic cards!

Our sponsor this week is 

I've used their image "Everyday Mikala Ann" for my card:

She's colored with Sprectrum Noir pens and mounted on a Silhouette circle cut.  I cut it twice and popped up one set from the other.  The banners are also Silhouette cuts and the stamp is from KAndrews.  A few gems complete the sketch and there you go!

I hope you'll head over to Tuesday Throwdown and check out all the great inspiration there and then throwdown with us!

Thanks for stopping by!

Snowflake card

My Sheri Crafts is back from our break!  It was so nice to enjoy the holiday break, but we are excited to be back with our first challenge of 2015!  Sheri herself is hosting this challenge and she's chosen "Let It Snow - Create a project that includes a snowflake!"  Easy Peasy, right?

I found this beautiful card cut on the Cricut Winter Woodland cartridge.  The under lay cut is white glitter paper,  With a simple strip of white shimmer ribbon and a snowflake brad, it's done!

I haven't put anything inside yet, because this card could be used for ANYTHING!  So I'm waiting to see what I need first.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us!

Cherish The Memories

It's time for another challenge at The Outlawz.  Our sponsor this month is 

As always, our challenge is Anything Goes With a Twist.  This week's twist is 

"Gatefold Card".

Now Gatefolds are something I very rarely do, but really like.  Wonder why I don't do them more often?  Anyway, I made one this week with this image from Bugaboo.  I really love this image because it's so easy to color, or you could use it black and white and it's beautiful either way.

I typed up the sentiment on my computer and then cut it out on my Cricut with a cut from "Cricut Font and Basic Shapes".

I used all scraps on this card, except for the card base!  I love it when I get a lot of those scraps used up!

Come on over to The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and see all the beautiful inspiration there.  Be sure to join in and add your card to the inklinz for a chance at some great prizes!

Christmas Candle

Hi!  I just wanted to share my first pillar candle I decorated!  This was so fun and super easy!  I cut a strip of burlap and a piece of lace, hot-glued them on, then glued on some burlap poinsettias I bought at Hobby Lobby.  I also added a piece of brown twine for a little bow.

I just love how it turned out!  I needed something for a door prize and a meeting, so I whipped this up!  Then I decided to make some as gifts.  I'll share more of them later!

A Little Bird Told Me...
