Creative Crafting by Shell: December 2009

Happy New Year~2010

Wishing You all the best for our New Year that we are about to welcome in, have a safe one tonite!

I still don't have my tower back from the puter hospital, talked to the doc. yesterday and he said that it's on my DH's side something happened and now he's gotta figure out what's going on......(I took it in on Dec. 14th, but they wouldn't be able to get to it for a week) ....getting lonely here with out it.

Hope that your still getting some crafting done and looking forward to seeing what you've been doing lately......until later.

Well I had to take my tower in to the shop, it had been acting up and was kind of sick so she's in the puter hospital............hence no pictures of cards, oh but wait I haven't been doing any cards lately because I've been working! At least I have my laptop! Otherwise I'd be having DT'S!!! Last week we had a power outage for 11 hours without electric............heavy wet snow caused a downed tree on a power line. Oh what fun my day was, we do heat with wood so I was warm and my kitchen stove is propane/electric so I fixed a big pot of Spaghetti. Tonite we are advise that a snow blizzard is coming our way. (supposed to be 4-6 inches of the white stuff) Hope your all getting your last minute Christmas shopping done, I have a few more to get out of the way. "Happy Stampin Ya'll"

Mistletoe Tilda

Hey there, just got my pre-order stamps in that were ordered in October......yeah it was really hard waiting on these cutie pies! Well here's one that I did, it's a hurry up card for a image swap with a blogging sister in Canada.

Isn't she just adorable????? LOL with cookies & a pretzel in her pockets. Until next time......Happy Stampin'Yall!

Simple Sprig Wreath

Here's another wreath that I put together.........this is done with layered circular stamping using a small sprig stamp, then stamp your mini pine cones.

Stamp your choice of image in center or leave blank. I used the Sepia technique on the background with 2 color coordinating blue stamp pads........I'm sending this card to one of my best friends for Christmas I know she'll love it! Hope you having a great week so far~ Happy Stampin' Yall!

Little Norway Girl

Hey there, thanks for stopping by..........this cute little girl I got as a free digi download from Simply Inger, isn't she just cute as a button! You too can get her here

I stamped the trees (Lovely as a Tree.....#115026, $27.95) and and added snow (white liquid appliqued) & sparkling stickles. I colored my little girl and layered her on the card, using the Boho Blossoms flower punch (item #110711 $15.95) placing it on the lower edge of the card. Hope your having a great weekend so far..............Happy Stampin' Yall!

Shopping Bella

Just another swap card that I'm showing you...........did you recognize the embossing on the back ground of the card? Yeppers it's Stampin'Up! the Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item #115964 for $7.95)

I'm trying to keep these cards that I make rather simple and not bulky for shipping .........oh here's a tip - trick that I've come up with and been doing is to flip the card inside so the bulk will be inside and it will help pad the card for shipping. Happy Stampin'Yall!

Mary Englebright

Just thought I'd share a Swap card that I made for one of my Yahoo groups, it's done with some more of my recycled calendar pictures........I tried to match up the yellow background to match the picture's wall paper so I drew straight lines added dots and some squiggly lines.
