Invitations and Cards

Today I also wanted to share with you just a couple of cards I've made recently for friends and family. Both of these were made with the Creative Memories sbcStudio software.

We had a surprise birthday party for my mother-in-law last month, and I was asked to create the invitation. Here's what I came up with:

Then a friend asked me to create a Christmas card for her and her husband with a photo of them. Here is the Christmas card. They had their own photo in the spot and their names in the place of 'Me and Mine'.

What do you think? Do you enjoy making cards for other?

Decorating for Christmas

I finally found a little time to do some decorating around the house for Christmas!! I picked up some garland and pine cone sticks from Wal-Mart to put together and put above our cabinets in the kitchen.

Then I set out a little bit of my north pole village! I still have a few more of it to put out tonight.

And finally our Christmas tree! Like last year, we went looking for our tree near our house instead of buying one from a farm or getting a fake one from a store. I really like the one we got this year!!

I do have one fake tree, and I put it outside with lights on it! I think it looks so cute!!

Well, that's all the decorations I have for right now. What does your Christmas decor look like?

Christmas Tags

Well, just a short update here: we didn't get the pumpkin pie done last night. A new dishwasher got in the way (which is a story for another day) so hopefully the pie will get made tonight!

Now for the Christmas word art I told you I was going to work on yesterday. Here are a few things I made yesterday.

And then I thought, "Christmas tags!" The Christmas season will be here before you know it, and we all need Christmas tags for our presents! So here are a few:

Creative Memories has a tag maker that punches out tags. I created these to print out to be the size of the tag maker. So now all I have to do is print them out on cardstock paper so they'll be nice and sturdy. Then I'll take my CM Tag Maker to punch them out, and I'll have some cute Christmas tags for my presents!

Enjoy!!

What I've been working on.

I've been working on cards, tags, and scrapbooks recently for an arts and crafts show in Bastrop, LA. So I thought I would share a few things with everyone. Remember now, these aren't finished. I have a few more touches to add to them. Enjoy!
