Merry Christmas Eve

I hope you are having a lovely Christmas Eve and all ready for tomorrow! I thought I would jump on and post a few more of the Christmas cards I sent to my family before running out to do all my last minute Christmas shopping! I am very excited to make this delicious recipe I found on Pinterest for Christmas morning breakfast! It is called Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole, and looks dreamy! The best part is how easy it is! You do all the prep the night before, stick it in the fridge, then on Christmas morning you take it out and let it sit for a half an hour, then bake! Virtually no work Christmas morning! I am all about that! ;)

So, on to my cards:

I just love those little hoof prints! Though my husband said I stamped them backwards...who would know the difference!?

And one last card for today that I made because I was inspired by a set of cards I saw at the store made by Hallmark. It was black with gold leaves and red berries and gemstones.

Ok, that's all for today! I will stop in tomorrow with my last few cards of the season! I hope you have a great day! And thank you so much for stopping by and spending your time with me!

More Christmas Cards

Good Morning! I am sitting at work waiting on 5 o'clock so I can start my 5 day weekend! I am nearly alone, as just about everyone else has started their holiday weekend already, so it is very quiet! Mix that with the fact that my December Papertrey release package is sitting on my doorstep at home, and I'm thinking this may be the longest day EVER! Ugh! So, I figured I'd pass some time and post a few more Christmas cards that I gave out to some co-workers this morning.

Happy Holidays!

My first Christmas card for the year...

 Hello and Happy Thursday! I don't know about you, but I am ready for the weekend! I just wanted to stop in and share a card I made on World Card Making Day, actually. It was the only card I completed. I had started a mini album/ journal that I spent most of the day working on, and most of my craft time since then, too! I've been having a lot of fun with it, and this is the first time I've made anything like it, but it's so time consuming for me! Well, maybe I can get some pictures of what I have done with it so far this weekend.
I had to at least make a card with Love Lives Here: Holiday, so I just kind of threw one together real quickly, and this was what I came up with:

 

That sweet little angel is what sold me on this set! Especially when I saw the ornaments that Erin Lincoln made with it! They reminded me of the little figurines that I collect! There are a lot more cute images and dies that go with this set, so I plan on using it a lot more in the coming months! Actually, the plan was this would be the only Christmas set I would need and use this year...that was until today and what the Papertrey Ink Design Team did with the set being released this month! UGH! 

Anyway, this card is pretty much all made up of the stamp set Love Lives Here: Holiday and coordinating dies, along with the Mat Stack 3 die and the Medium Scallop Border die. The pattern paper is DCWV and really did all the work for me. If you have any questions let me know. Thank you so much for stopping by!
