Wow, TWO posts in one day! You are in for a treat now :)

I thought you would enjoy seeing a bit of the weather we are having here in Ohio. We have well over a foot of snow out there today and it is still coming down. The icicles are growing on everything today. It is about ten degrees out, so not too much snow play today :( Sorry kids.

Here is the card I made with the wild card cricut cartridge. I like the result although it was sort of tedious putting on all the little details. That is what makes it special though, right? The envelope has candles on it too which it hard to see in this picture. I also cuttlebugged the "icing" on the cupcake. I think my niece will love it though, cause her favorite Aunt made it!

This is a card I made just playing yesterday while I was talking to my mom on the phone. I think I do my best work when I'm distracted, because I don't put as much thought into it. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes I can take it a little far thinking, does that really match?? Onto the details! I started by stamping the image in craft brown and embossing it in gold EP. It looks way cooler irl. Then i painted it with my watercolor crayons and blended it with a paintbrush and water. Love that technique. I also used watercolor paper which really helped. You should really try to use watercolor paper if you never have. It is a whole new world!
Punched the strip with the Martha Stewart border punch and added some embellys and Voila! I haven't made this many cards in six months. I may go back to the stamp room today too. How exciting is that? Maybe I really am getting my groove back!
