I have been on vacation this week. I am not going anywhere, its just my last vacation of the year, and I have to say I have been enjoying some ME time!

I got some new SU Stamps and Inkspots from a SU party I attended a couple of weeks ago! Pocket Silhouettes. I am hoping to really put them to good use, so I have to play with them some more.My craft desk has been used often this week ! LOL I received some stamped Bella images from a couple of friends on Cafe Mom, and decided to finally put them to use. (Thanks Dee and Teresa)


My sister Sandy in Florida sent me a RAK of some ribbons she got at Target. I asked her "..what did I do to deserve presents?"...haha! She said she was just thinking of me and she didn't need a reason to send me something..Aww...isn't she sweet!? So I used some on these fall colored cards.

I have really been in a fall mood, as you can probably tell from my color theme of all these cards! It IS my favorite time of the year!

I have some pictures to share of some cards I made a couple of days ago. This first one I did for a challenge on Cafe Mom. I was playing around with my Cuttlebug embossing folders. I wanted to try a new technique where you ink up the inside of the folder , and then run it through the machine. I don't own a Cuttlebug yet, so I used my Sizzix. Looks pretty cool!! The others were just using up some of my scraps and I experimented with some stamping and coloring with watercolor pencils.
thanks for stopping by!

August CCC

These are some Christmas Cards I made for the RCS CCC for August. It's too early for Christmas you say? Nope..just getting ahead so I won't be in a mad rush to get them all done in December! Thanks DEE for the Bella Image! these are kind of simple, but fun to make nonetheless.
