Meet Me Under the Mistletoe

Merry Christmas to all!!!! I hope that everyone is enjoying their holiday with family and friends. We have snow and I am looking forward to a day snuggled in with hot chocolate and spending time with the family. This is the card I made for my husband for Christmas this year. After opening it, he looked around for the mistletoe... I used the cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder and added pearls and ribbon to finish it off. Very simple by elegant card.

Snow Globe Cards

Made these cards for my sons for Christmas. When they were younger they used to get me a new snow globe every year for Christmas. Benjamin says his favorite color is pink so I couldn't resist adding pink rhinestones to his snowman. I used the snow flakes cuttlebug folder to emboss the globe. I used my platinum ink pad to add some color to the flakes. The faces are from the Peachy Keen stamps winter face assortment.

Handprint Calendar

Each of my daycare kids made a calendar for their parents for Christmas. I found the calendars at Michaels for $1. The calendars are the 2010 kids art calendars so each month had a cute border and a place to put artwork which was just perfect for this project. I have kids in my care that range in age from 4 months to 4 years so I needed a project that all could do. I used my cricut to make basic shapes for us to embellish using the kid's fingerprints, handprints, footprints or by tracing their arms and hands. The calendars turned out great and I can't wait for the kids to give them to their parents. On the inside cover I attached a poem about kids and their messy fingerprints and footprints. Since their are so many pictures, I will post this project in 3 separate posts so if you want to see each month of the year, scroll down the page.

Jan: Snowflake cut at 7 inches from A Child's Year I put a picture of each child dressed in their winter clothes in the center of the snowflake

Feb: Heart cut at 6.5 inches from Mickey and Friends cartridge. We used our handprints to make the hearts inside
