Happy 2013 Everyone!

Happy 2013 everyone!  Here it is February 2 and I'm wa-a-a-a-y behind on posting cards - a little slow on my 2012 goals, I am!  October, November and December flew by - I must have been sleeping because they went by way too fast.  So, I'm playing catch up on posting cards today.  I'm going to try to get back on track and post at least weekly.

The first batch of three cards were made for a swap I participated in back in October which, I believe, is the last time I actually sat down to make cards - other than Christmas and last week.  It was a dry creative time!

Next are the 2012 Christmas Cards - the first is the card send to family and friends; the door card was sent to my Red Hat friends.

And last, here are three cards I just made for a card swap:

Cuttlebut, CTMH, sticker

Art Philosophy, SVG bow - this one is not an original idea - I saw it somewhere and used it as a birthday card for a friend's 90th birthday.  I had to make another for this swap.

I have no idea who made the stamps!  I love this stamp!

So that's it and now we're all caught up!  I promise to be better this year at using all my cartridges and stamps.  If you set any goals for yourself, I wish you luck in attaining them.

It's a Beautiful Day in Denver

 It's a beautiful day in Denver and I'm looking forward to going outside and enjoying some of the blue skies and sunshine.  I did get some cards done this week, however, so I'm ready to show you some more cards.  This batch includes some non-Cricut cards, too.  Sometimes the kid just comes out and I want to color!

Copics, Stamp

 The next three cards were made for RAQ's Challenge on the Cricut Community web site.  This is a weekly challenge and you see so many pretty cards there.  Check it out.

 The cake cartridges aren't only for making cakes.  They have some really nice cuts on them.  the "Congratulations" and the garland are both Cricut cake cuts.  The first card was a little to shiny so I remade it was a more subtle silver paper.

 The color challenge at the RAQ's challenge was to use magenta, yellow and black. The sentiment is computer generated.

Birthday Bash, Hopscotch

The paper on the "a little bird told me card" is from the Imagine Hopscotch cartridge.  The nice thing about using the Imagine paper cartridges is that the graphics are sized for the size of the cut.  If this was a scrapbook page, the clouds would be sized for a 12x112 cut.

I hope you enjoyed the cards.  I'm going out to enjoy the beautiful day!
