Ours is quiet and peaceful, Dolce and Lione are here, my friend Amy who came in on the 22nd, left for Grand Canyon on Christmas eve, so it is just 4 of us plus the fur babies, Papi and Coconut!

This year, I took a few photos and then use photoshop to make our holiday photos...

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #331 ~ #Selfie

# tag and selfie is a big wave in the social media world, it also appeared a lot in the paper crafting world as well as the two are very much inter-connected, you could see selfie in a lot of layouts and project life spread, you can even find "selfie" dies used quite a bit, so my project today for City Crafter Challenge Blog includes not just #tag, but the world "selfie" too

the frame, #tag and selfie are all my new favorite dies....

 I made a few of them, some without the #selfie but I thought I did use a selfie

I hope you stop by City Crafter Challenge Blog and join in the fun!

 

Card for student

The Challenge:

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge #111 ~ Die Cuts or Punches

I made a card for my student, using one of my older punches from Martha Stewart, I used to get a lot of MS punches when I started card making.

in fact, I also used 2 other die cuts, can you spot them?

school is starting soon here in Vegas, this week is packed with teacher's meeting and orientation, busy busy.....

More cleaning up to do.....

 I store all the photos on my computer until I posted the project, now that my photo folders are so full that it is beginning to slow down my computer, I better do some cleaning up.....

I didn't manage to get Christmas cards out to all of my friends last year, so I made it up by sending them New Year's card, I better post these before they turn one year old, LOL!

just 2 weeks more, we will be welcoming 2015! so goodbye to New Year's card 2014!

Last year and this year!

Last year, I made a few different holiday photo cards, so many that I don't even have the time, or the slot here to post all of them, so here is one from Christmas 2013.... sort of cleaning up my photo folder (I keep the photos on my computer until I posted the project on this blog)

well, here is one for Christmas 2014

this year, I just make many of one design.

here's the photo I used on the photo card.... you can see how much Papillon had grown in a year, he is  a big boy now!

so do you send photo card to family and friends?

do you make your own or have it print commercially?
