December 25th

I need a lot of holiday cards for the various charities, so I plan to make several each month.  Hope to get them all done by the end of November.  I found this fun cut file at the Silhouette store.  Used my Cameo to cut out everything.  This will be going in the holiday box for the children's charity.

4th of July

I am working on another box of cards for the Cards For Hospitalized Kids Charity which will be mailed in June.  They are asking for holiday cards, so I thought I would make some for 4th Of July.  This fun subway image is a free download from Crafting Chicks.  Printed the image, then cut out all the pieces with my Silhouette Cameo.

Made this one for the Card Care Connection Charity.  I used a pretty Fred She Said flower digi and created matching papers in GIMP.  Cut out the background layers with MFT stitched dies, saying with Cottage Cutz stitched circles and the image and background layers with Spellbinders rectangle and scalloped rectangle dies.  Border was cut out with my Cameo.

Head start on the holidays

I always send a big box of holiday cards to the children's charity so I am starting a little early so I can get them all done by the end of November.  That will give the charity time to distribute them to the hospitals.  This was a quick and easy card. Printed the image, cut it out with a rotary paper trimmer, then added some snowflakes I cut out with my Silhouette Cameo. I love the smile on the snowman's face and hope the kids will smile when they see him too.
