Hello fellow crafters! Wow it's been awhile since I've posted something on my blog, sorry! Life has been a bit different and Im adjusting to lifes changes, and because of that I haven't been feeling to crafty. No worries, I feel better and a bit more crafty, so last night I made this Elf Christmas card for my friend Tabitha over at Tabitha Designs.

Hello fellow crafters:) Today I have a cute tag that I would like to share with you:) I made my tag with My Creative Time's Tag Die . For the cute brown Penguin and his lollipop, I used my Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge. I had to make him brown because when I used white embossing powder on my black penguin cut out, the peachy face did not come out right:( I think it was my embossing powder. Anyone know of a good embossing powder and ink that I can use to stamp on black cardstock?   The sentiment and the hat are from My Creative Time's Its A Magical Season Stamp Set . I stamped and cut them out. I also added some stickels to make it sparkle:) The cute little stocking is from My Creative Time's Warm Holiday Fun Stamp Set . Th cute peachy face is from Peachy Keen's Happy Lashes Face Assortment . The gems, ribbon and jingle bell (I used as charms), are from my stash.

Yup my Cricut, I know I haven't been using her as much as I would like to, but today I brought her out and made this card. I designed the Tardis on my Gypsy by using different rectangles and squares from the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge. I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I used my  Fiskars decorative "lace" corner rounder, for the the corners. The brown paper is from DCWV stack, it was in my scraps so I don't know the name of the stack, sorry. I used  My Creative Time's Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp & Die . I used the "Hello There" Sentiment but masked the "There" part off with some tape.

For challenge # 3 Subway Art, we needed to create any subway art we wanted by using items from our Mystery Box. Challenge #3 In my Mystery Box I had this beautiful Christmas paper from Authentique's, The Wonder Collection. I also had the brown ribbon, tan and red card stock. I used some Rub Ons from KaiserCraft (also from my Mystery Box) to create the Subway Art. Super easy right? And I just loved how it came out:) For challenge # 4, Teal and 7 Circles, we need to use the color teal as much or as little of it as we like,  and 7 circles of any material or size on a project of our choice.  Challenge #4 From my Mystery Box I used the tan, and blue card stock as well as this pretty We R Memory Keepers, Autumn Splendor.
