365 Days of Cards

Today I only had about 15 minutes as we are leaving to go skiing in about an hour. We also won't be home until late so this is the only opportunity I have. This card is perfect for a neighbor though. I used the Paper Fundamentals  Enchantment paper pack and a Picture My Life card from the retired Hopscotch collection. I have the next 2 and 1/2 days off so hoping to get to spend some time with my new Close to My Heart water color paints .

Today I needed a quick card for a friend. I found the retired Balloon paper pack and thought it was perfect with the retired kraft square cards. I am really enjoying making a card every day. Today it gave me more opportunity to go through my scraps and see what I could create.

I needed a more masculine Valentine's Day card to send to my high school nephew. The scraps of Prop Player I had left in my stash were perfect for this card. The possibilities of scraps are endless!

The one advantage of using the Cricut to create a card is you end up with so many negative's to use. This morning before work I threw this quick "Thanks" card together using the Zoe  paper pack and the Enamel & Glitter Duos Green Triangles . I sent this to a co-worker for helping me with some lessons.  

   The Charlotte  paper pack along with the retired "Mini-Heart Wreath" stamp was perfect for a Thinking of You card for a friend. I absolutely love how versatile the Charlotte paper has become for so many different projects. 

This was a quickie card after a long weekend in Portland! I used the retired Surf's Up Picture My Life along with Crystal Blue and Honey Cardstock and sequins. Later this week the cards will get more creative, but for now this is perfect for a teen birthday card for my niece.

My mom's birthday is coming up in early February so I wanted to be prepared. I was inspired by Close to My Heart Consultant, Tonya PoChing. I love the mini-roses from the January Stamp of the Month along with the coffee cup from the Cricut Artistry Cartridge and the new paper pack Penelope . I used Pixie and Cocoa Ink to stamp the roses and Pear Ink for the 2 leaves.
