Deck The Halls

It's time for a new challenge at Aud Setiments.  

The theme for this challenge is Cute + A Sentiment.

Wait a minute! Are you looking at my card and thinking, "where is her sentiment?"

One of our challenge rules is that you have to have a sentiment on your project but your sentiment can be on the inside of the card and not just the front. Sooo....

Here is the inside of my card.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo Stamps.  I have used Xmas Teddy2 Ornaments for the front of my card. The inside image is also from Bugaboo.

Magical Birthday

This is the birthday card I made for my dad.

 The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil.  It reminds me of when my boys were younger. One Halloween my youngest dressed up as the magician and my oldest was the rabbit coming out of the hat.  They were super cute and even won a costume contest.

Here they are....

Never Gonna Grow Up

This image from Mo's Digital Pencil is just perfect for a masculine card. This card just happens to be for my brother's birthday.

I used the sketch from Cheerful Sketches.  It's a versatile sketch, which you will see in future posts) It makes a quick, yet well designed card.

Double Pocket Card

This is my first double pocket card. The current challenge at Aud Sentiments is Vintage + A Sentiment.  We are sponsored by My Artistic Adventures. 

 I wanted to make Christmas tags with the images from My Artistic Adventures.  I thought the recipient of this card could use the tags on Christmas gifts. That makes this a card and gift all in one!

Thinking Of You

Sympathy cards are always my least favorite cards to make.  I wish I was better organized and had them made in advance but I am always scrambling at the last minute.  Maybe that will be a goal for 2017.

Anyway I used a Tilda stamp from Magnolia stamps for the outside and the flower on the inside is also from Magnolia Stamps

Pumpkin Card

I made this card (and 14 others just like it) to use as thank you cards.  My husband and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary.  Our boys hosted a bbq for us and we had a lot of fun visiting with family, friends and our wedding party. Needless to say, I needed several thank you cards.  This sketch from Sunday Stamps was just perfect. I made the pumpkin out of 3 pattern papers and a simple oval cut from the George Cricut cartridge. The stem is from the pumpkin from the Happily Ever After Cricut cartridge. (Cinderella's pumpkin)

Get Your Merry On!

Inside of card:

Happy Saturday! It's a gorgeous fall day her in NW Missouri.  My youngest son and I are traveling to see my oldest son. It's his last semester in college and we are going to visit for parents day. Instead of doing all the typical parent/college child activities, we have decided to hike around the local state park. I am really looking forward to spending time with my two favorite guys. My poor husband will be home working.

Anyway, this is my design team card for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge extra.  I hope you join us in the challenge.  We just have 12 weekends until Christmas.  Are you ready?
