MY 2012 CHRISTMAS CARDS...using jots

hi,

for the records, we are having our first 2012 snow day here in the neighborhood. i woke up to a fine dust and as the day goes, the flakes are getting a bit bigger. they are expecting 1-3 inches of it. we shall see. 

nah, it did not happen on my area anyways. :P

remember the poinsettia i made here? i used the christmas noel for that one but, i found this other one in the joys of the season (jots- after watching a you tube video) and i wanted to try it. the image is #38 on the overlay and i used the blackout feature for it. i cut two of them at 4 inches, one at 3 inches and one at 2 inches. oh! and the pretty leaves are also from jots: image #34 using the layer and shift features and i know the double sided paper is from k&co.

 all my papers are from my stash and if i recall there is some basic grey, dcwv and mme. i went and bought the small beads for the center at acm. 

i already had made the base for my cards and i just needed an embellishment for the focal point.

Just for You

5.5" x 4.25"

these are my card bases that i had previously made and below you will see the computer printed sentiment. i got this sentiment from a greetings card cd i have.

i hope you like my christmas cards for this year. i am not done with them and i won't be making too many either because the extra postage. the ones i make dimensional will be delivered by hand with their gifts. the postal ones will be having a flat poinsettia. :)

anyway, i wanted to blog about Webster Pages Sprinkle Monthly Box. I ordered the november box and my package somehow got delivered to someone in washington state. anyway, i complained about it (after i checked the delivery confirmation), and their customer service couldn't be more helpful. 

they are awesome and i wanted to give them kuddos here on my blog.

 the link above will show what the sprinkles box is all about and how inexpensive it is to get one!

and with the good.... comes the bad too, lol

 another kit i ordered but with this one i got totally burned :D. it was a halloween kit from well known designer. i couldn't be more disappointing. not only i paid a fortune but the extra goodies she sent for the immense tardiness did not make up for the burn. i was very impulsive with this purchase: well, never again.

i won't be mentioning any names here but i will say some "details" are not worthy. and that is that. hehe.

and now i retire to my studio where i will be finishing some more christmas cards.

hope you all had a great thanksgiving. 

i know i did: my son came home and we had such a great time.

take care now, and i will see you soon!

I AM THANKFUL FOR YOU...

and i am thankful for my family and i am thankful i have a roof over my head, food to eat and health. i am thankful for every beautiful day i get to enjoy. 

here is a beautiful graphic i found over glitter graphics.

maybe we can scrap it one day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

WISHING YOU HAPPY HOLIDAYS...using christmas noel

hello, 

welcome to flowerdisco's scrap hut

i tell you,

we had a few days of beautiful weather here in the neighborhood and we were able to clean outdoors a bit more. we still had lots of shredded leaves and dirt on the siding, front of the house, landscaping and here and there, :D

anyway, is not shiny yet but it will do until spring, lol. the cold weather is back and now we hibernate a bit, hehe. now, i am concentrating on the kitchen...that needs to be cleaned to a t before the holidays.

i wanted to share another card i had made for the upcoming holidays. this time i had my files on the gypsy and i can tell you what cricut cart i used. i know i couldn't on the previous post.

............Wishing You..........

Happy Holidays

5.5" wide by 4.25" tall

i love that tree. it is #21 on the overlay.

 it is all popped on foam tape and inked just the way i like it. i cut the tree at 2.5 inches tall.

the buttons are chipboard and i believe are from knco and so are the patterned papers.

another view here

i think this card rocks! :D

the card base is from just because cards, the red border is martha's.

i think i will be back with one more project before thanksgiving, but if not

"i wish you all the best Thanksgiving ever"

A CHRISTMAS CARD...featuring a poinsettia

hello all,

it took me a while to be back here blogging and posting. the clean-up after sandy was a bit exhausting for me and still have to get to the front of the house. in the meantime the shredded leaves on that side are blowing away. 

my heart breaks every time i see the news and all the devastation sandy's fury left. i told you i was just trying to easy my mind and hoping for the best. i knew inside me she was no good. what we lost is nothing compare at all, not a micro bit, to what others did. i am not saying we lost anything but a blue spruce tree :D,  but others that lost so much and when they look back there are others who lost some more. my heart cries.

my prayers and thoughts are with them while they recover.

on the other hand, the generator worked well, hehe,

 i am not intimidated by it anymore. the only thing, being a smaller one, i had to make a few runs for gas and at the end, it was no more gas :(, but then..... the electricity came back.....that same night.

--remember, if you are not at flowerdisco's scrap hut, you are at a thief's  blog--shame on you bad blog content thief--

now onto my card for today. i made this cutie a while ago and i sincerely can't find my notes. i think i shredded them along with my son's voters registration, lol. yeap! i did that. He balloted being an absentee, but still. the things i do sometimes.

anyway,

here i have a beautiful poinsettia.

 i know i used dcwv patterned papers and maybe some mme and we all know the button is a ms punch.

this is such a pretty card, imho that is. :P

below is the entire card for your delight (wink-wink)

if i find that little branch, and find that i have more of the same paper, i think i will make more of the same for my christmas cards this year.

well, this is it for now. 

i hope you are safe and that you be blessed on your daily life and be happy everyday and grateful for what you have because when you look back, there is a worse scenario behind.

and as always,

thanks for stopping here at flowerdisco's scrap hut blogspot. 

take care you all!
