On Wednesday I made a visit to The Hen House (local craft store) and found this Moose stamp in their consignment bin. I thought it would make a great masculine card. After I stamped the moose and started coloring the water and grass it kind of reminded me of Christmas. So here we have a very different kind of a Christmas card.

I used Prismacolor pencils to color the water and grass.  The
tree branches and leaves are S.U. and Unity stamp sets.
The saying and the star are from CTMH.  The holly leaves
are plastic embellishments I found loose at the bottom of my
Christmas box.  LOL  (not sure were they are from)
The moose stamp is a wooden stamp from Coronado Island Stamping.

Hope you have a Moose of a weekend!!

My husband will be turning the big 50 this month!!  He is always teasing me about being Over-the-Hill before him. (only by 6mos) I am having him a big 50 birthday party.  This is the invitation I sent out for the celebration.

I printed out the info for the party on the computer.  I stamped the
balloons and colored them in.  Stamped the blue circle background
and the yellow candle flame.  I stamped the "AARP" on CS,
cut it out and inked it to add color.  I attached the candle and
picture to the invitation. 

He is just the cutest First Grader ever without teeth....

Now both of us are over the hill....LOL Life is precious hug all those you love.

Today's card is made using the CTMH "Christmas Love" stamp set.  It can be found on page 80 of the autumn/winter 2012 catalog. 

I used die cuts to cut out the ovals.  Stamped the tree and added
glitter to the oval. Attached the ribbon and stamped the Christmas
love Sentiment. 

This is a wonderful stamp set for Christmas. 

Have a fabulous day today!!  Thanks for stopping by!

 Happy Election Day!! I decided to make a RED-WHITE-BLUE card in honor of Voting day.  I hope you go out and VOTE.  Let's keep ALL our elected Officials in our prayers!  For me I will be glad to have my phone stop ringing, junk mail and crazy commercials all gone!!  Hee hee...

The white paper was already embossed with the stars.  I stamped
blue stars and saying with CTMH "Wishing Star" stamp set.
I cut out the stars and attached them with foam adhesive. 

The red stars on the left were embossed using the Cuttlebug
embossing border folders.  The are about one inch wide and you can
put them anywhere on your paper.

 Wishing you a Happy Red White and Blue Day today!!

Happy November Monday to you!!  2012 is almost over.  Did you complete your New Year's resolution?  There is still time....hee hee.  Including today and Christmas Eve you have 50 days of Christmas shopping left...WOW!  So I have been working with the Cricut again.  I made these Christmas Tree cards using CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. 

Using the Cricut I cut out the cards and the three trees.  I then took
different embossing folders and embossed the front of the cards.
I added paper to the back of the trees, then added ribbon
and other embellishments.  I touched up the cards with inks
or markers to add some  color. 

This paper is just gorgeous for these trees.

I added dots with a marker on this card to give it some color. 

This paper is all glitter.  The camera didn't pick it up but it
sure does sparkle!

Using the Cricut, I cutout a decorative layer of green CS,
then attached it behind the trees  with double adhesive
and sprinkled it with Glitter.

Thank you for stopping by today and sharing a few moments with me on my blog!!  Hope you have a week filled with sparkled hugs and kisses!  By the way my son and his girlfriend made it back from NY!  It's so good to have them home again.  I told them they are grounded for a year.  They were so relived to be home they said they are not leaving NM anytime soon!!  Thank you Jesus!!
