Another Rubber Romance ornament

Here are two Rubber Romance ornaments I made for the tree, or to give as last minute gifts! If you would like to see the directions check out my tutorial on the Rubber Romance blog.


Both of these ornaments use Merry the Christmas Diva from Rubber Romance. She is available in their etsy store along with all the new Divas. There are some really fabulous new images.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Tilda is baking cookies

Trying to ink up my new Magnolias before Christmas! I loved this little baking Tilda as soon as I saw her. I think I'm going to mail this card off to my Nana. I used to go to her house and bake Christmas cookies with her right after Thanksgiving every year. She doesn't do much baking anymore, she is 95 now and rather frail. I can't really go and help her bake because of the kids, but I think I'll send her some of the things I bake this year. She really is the one who instilled the love in baking in me!

This card was from a SCS sketch challenge last week (SC258). Thought it worked nicely with this image. If the dsp looks familiar that cause it is the same one I used on my last card. It was still sitting on my desk, so I decided to use it up. My gosh my office is trashed, between trying to wrap gifts, make cards and ornaments and other holiday stuff, it really is a mess. Guess that can be a New Years resolution (among others) to clean it up!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Unwrapped Tilda

My Magnolia Christmas stamps that I pre-ordered in October finally arrived! So happy to get them, had to ink them right up! This little cutie is called Unwrapped Tilda.

I stamped up another image and can't find it. It is Edwin on a Sled. I remembered Liam watching me stamp him up and him saying "boy that kid is having fun on his sled!" I think my missing image might be getting some crayola treatment right now.

Well, TGIF! Lots to do this weekend, decorating, shopping and baking. Try to get a lot done on the weekend when my hubby is home, so I don't have to take the baby out. Thanks for stopping by today, have a wonderful weekend.

Pretty Little Rubber Romance Gift CardHolder

I always like to present the gift cards I buy in a homemade card, makes it seem more thoughtful. I made this cute little gift card holder to give to my husband with a gift card for a spa. He's been saying he really "needs" a massage. Hopefully he'll enjoy his massage! This Holiday Diva from Rubber Romance is Stephanie has a gift for you at Christmas. She is glitzed up with some stickles on the back of her dress and her mitten.

Here is the inside of the card with the gift card slipped into the pocket. For the inside sentiment I inked up part of a Rubber Romance sentiment with a red marker, to just get the words "Ho Ho".

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are keeping warm. I keep hearing about lots of areas getting snow, none here yet.

Happy Birthday Maura

My friend's little girl Maura has a birthday coming up this weekend. She's turning two. One of her gifts from her parents is a tricycle, so I thought this image was perfect! This is one of my first digi images. I love how easy it was to print and resize it. My blogger friends pointed me in the direction of a good tutorial for resizing, and amazingly enough even with my limited computer skills it was pretty easy!

I used MoJo116 as a sketch for this card. I altered it a bit to make a round card, since my image was large. This digi image is from Mo's Digital Pencil. She has so many wonderful images, and I really think it is cool that lots of her images have an ethnic look to them. I bought several, so I hope to get more done this week.

Thanks for stopping by today. Can't wait for So You Think You Can Dance tonight!

Card Recipe:

Stamp: ByeBye from Mo's Digital Pencil

Ink: Printer ink

Paper: Real Red, Summer Sun, Tangerine Tango, PTI ssw, Patterned paper from my scraps

Another Verve Challenge

Here is my card for the Verve sketch challenge. It was to make a thankful card. I have a thanks Verve sentiment stamped inside. All ready to go in the mail when needed. So go ahead and mail me some Christmas presents, and you might get this in return, just joking!

Still have two sick kiddos here. Hoping the bug is on the way out though. Talked to a friend of Cal's mother and she said several kids were out sick this week. Guess it's going around. Hopefully they'll be feeling better soon. I'm the worst when the kids are sick, totally stress out and panic. You'd never guess I was a pediatric nurse when I was working, LOL.
