KCC #767 - {Christmas Week}


 Welcome to "Krafty Chicks Thursday." 

This week we are on Week 2 and as always the theme is "CHRISTMAS" with Denise as our hostess. We want to see all your festive creations - even though Christmas is is a ways away, it comes fast and you can always get started on your stash for this year! You could even make some gift bags or tags.  We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

KCC #767 {CHRISTMAS}



My card was made from a kit from our local scrapbook store in Red Deer, Alberta - called Create Red Deer. She always has such cute little kits you can purchase if you're ever in need of a quick throw-together without thinking about the dynamics of the card - everything you need is in the bag (except adhesive!) She has all kinds of celebrations and holiday themes...

Birthday Wishes at A Cut Above


I am back with another post for the "A Cut Above" Creative Team! 

If you aren’t familiar with A Cut Above, we share monthly challenges that are all about die-cutting. The challenges are always anything goes - with the condition of at least one die cut used (defined by using a die cut machine, manual or electronic, not a purchased pre-fabricated die cut).

I decided to go dig through my stash of dies, and I came across these 2 that work so well together - I am not sure where they are from as I was gifted them many years ago and they were just in a plastic sleeve. I figured this would be an awesome masculine card. The scene behind the trees is a piece of designer paper from Stampin' Up! as well as the sentiment...here's a close up:



Well, that’s my card for this month's challenge - I do hope you will join us! You have until May 28th to participate. We would love to have you! Cheers!

Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday! 

The first week of every month is now our "BIRTHDAY" theme and this is hosted by Leanne. So break out anything birthday related and come on over and join us - we would love to have you!

KCC #766   {BIRTHDAY}


This was an extremely fun card to make at one of our stamping group nights at Diane's. She showed us a way to use up all our scraps of DSP paper! Just think of all the different layout possibilities - here's a close up of what I chose that night:


So fun!! And like me, you all have a stash of bits and pieces of random designer paper in a bin somewhere in your craft space! Dig it all out, throw it down on your working area and just make some funky backgrounds!
