Ho Ho Ho!

The kids' school supplies and clothes have been purchased, so that means Christmas shopping as officially on in our home!  We have to start this early since we also have my one son's birthday plus four niece and nephews birthdays between now and the holidays.  With that in mind, here is another Christmas card I created with Paper Dolls and, of course, Peachy Keen stamps.  I love a good gel pen--just a little line on Santa's boots really helped kick them up a notch!

On Your Mark, Get Set, Scrap!

The main purpose of this blog is to keep myself motivated to craft. If I entertain and/or educate at the same time, well, that is just icing on the cake!   

I am not a professional scrapper in any sense of the word.  I craft because it makes me happy (and because I refuse to pay $4.00 for a card at the store)!  My projects will be simple, easy to create layouts and cards. I would love your feedback and ideas for improvement.  My scrappy friends know that I am always asking for their input. 

The first project I am posting (!) is one of the Christmas cards I made for the Cards for Soldiers group on cricut.com.  The snowman is from the Smiley Cards Cricut cartridge and the background is from Paper Lace.  The face was created using a Peachy Keen stamp.  Hopefully this card will help keep you cool during the dog days of summer. Enjoy!
