Countdown to Christmas Cards #8 and Lot's To Do

Good Morning!

So, this morning I woke up with the feeling that I should really try and get as much done before the baby comes as possible in the next week or two. So, I do have some posts that are all ready to be posted, as well as some projects that I need to get done this week, however I might be MIA for the next while.

I did go to the doctor yesterday and she said that the process is started, so that means that it could all start tomorrow or in 8 weeks...love that! However, with the way that I have felt lately I can just tell it's gonna be sooner rather than later.

So without further ado here is another Christmas Countdown Card with the cute little Gingerbread Man from Winter Frolic.

When I Count My Blessings

My wonderful hubby recently gave me a suprise birthday party for my 30th and although it was his idea, because he works...and lives with me, it was my mom that did a lot of the work. It was at my parents house, she decorated the basement, entertained people while they waited, made dinner, and ultimately cleaned up too. So, I wanted to make her a special card to say thank you. Here is it...

 Recipe:
Cloud cut at 2.8" from Disney - Princesses Dreams Come True (3x, 1 with layer)
My Pink Stamper Sentiment
Martha Stewart Ribbon
DCWV Patterned Paper
Bazzill Basics Cardstock

ENJOY!

I Hate Scraps...

Happy 1/11/11!! I just think this is neat!

At least patterned ones. I always end up putting them in my scrap bin for later and rarely use them. They just pile up and I never remember what I have or what I might need. I'm sure that if I had a better system for them I might use them more, but I don't and I kind of like my system. So, I've decided that I will just try and use all the patterned paper at the time and not have to put any into my scraps bin.

So, that being said, this card is a little sneak peek at my Cooking with Cricut project for tomorrow. I used all the scraps from my project on this card.


All the patterned paper is from DCWV's "The ULTIMATE Premium Stack". It is awesome. I picked it up from Joann's for $11.99 and when I got it home I just fell in love. It is the one that is seperated by tabs into different categories. For example, these papers are from the "Winter" tab, but there are Christmas, Spring, Summer, Fall, Textures, etc. tabs. They are great. The best thing about it is that the papers in each tab go together perfectly. The buttons I'm not sure where I got, I've had them for a while. The sentiment, "Warmest Winter Wishes" is a My Pink Stamper stamp...love these!! The tag is from Once Upon a Princess (I think, sorry). I promise I will try and get better at making sure I know where things came from. Sometimes though I am just in the zone...I'm sure some of you can relate.

Well, this post has gotten extremely long and if any of you are like me, you have lost interested after the 1st sentence, so if you have gotten this far...I appreciate it! Make sure that you check in tomorrow for my Cooking with Cricut project!
