I choose to make a card today!! Here is my card....

Here is the supplies I used to make this card...

- Simply Charmed Cricut cart (mittens)

- Sophisticated Cricut cart (banner)

- twine from The Twinery

- argyle embossing folder

- Recollections paper

- Recollections brad

- white flock (mitten cuffs)

- 'baby, it's cold outside' sentiment from Christmas Wishes by Pink By Design

- white gelly roll pen for faux stitches

I like to keep my cards super simple, since I know they will probably end up in the trash within a week or two.... I cut the mittens from Simply Charmed then "stitched" around them using my white pen. I then embossed them with my argyle folder. I used my ZIG 2-way glue pen to adhere flock to the cuffs of the mittens. Then I used a piece of twine to make the mittens look like they are tied together. I stamped my sentiment onto the banner and used some pop dots to give it some dimension. 

I hope you liked my simple card!!! 

9 Ladies Dancing

Hello Friends!!! Today is my day to post over at Pink By Design!! Here is what I have posted....

*******************************************************************************************

Hi Everyone!! Candace from Scrappin' 2 Little Princesses here!! How awesome have these 12 days of Christmas posts been???? Such an amazing design team, right?! :) Can't wait to show you my layout!! Of COURSE I had to put my own little spin on the 9 Ladies Dancing and make it 9 Pretty-Little-Girls Dancing! Was anyone surprised?!? I am all over anything that has to do with little girls! So here is my layout!! 

Supplies:

- Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite Cart, Storybook Cart, Simply Charmed Cart, Gypsy Wanderings Cart, Winter Frolic Cart

- Distressed Music background stamp and Christmas Wishes by Pink By Design

- Recollections paper

- bling from dollarstore

- glossy accents

- ribbon

Tip/Technique:

To created the red/green distressed image, stamped in the background, I inked my stamp up in random spots using my green ink. Using red ink I filled in the dry spots. When I stamped the image I got a nice mix of red and green music notes! Then I used both the red and green ink to add some distressing around the edges. 

I hope you gained some inspiration from my layout!! Enjoy the last 3 of the 12 days of Christmas!!! :)

Christmas Wishes & Gingerbread Kisses

Hi Everyone!! I am really starting to get into the Christmas spirit now!! I usually don't let myself until the first of December... I am almost done buying gifts and now I'm onto wrapping them! Today I am showing you the gifts we got for Bria's playschool teacher and helper. But, before we get to that... The girls were over at Grandma's house the other day baking Gingerbread men!!! So cute!!

Bria was in heaven, she loves baking!! 

Brittyn didn't help much with the baking, but she sure loved eating!! :) 

Of course watching them make Gingerbread men with Grandma got me thinking! When we got home I decided to use my NEW Scrappy Mom's stamp set that I just received in the mail (I won it in one of their challenges!!). 

I love this sentiment!!! So adorable!! 

This tag was really simple to make...

- tag shape is cut from Once Upon a Princess - I cut 2 red shapes for each tag, the front one is embossed with an argyle pattern and the back one is stamped and heat embossed with white powder. I used the Christmas Wishes set by Pink By Design for the 'to' and 'from'

- the gingerbread men were cut from Stretch Your Imagination and the face stamped with the Happy Lashes Peachy Keen stamp set. I used my white Martha Steward glitter pen for white details on the man, and Recollections pearls for buttons.

- I used The Twinery twine to wrap the tissue/foil paper and tie the tag on 

I am entering this into the challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut this week!!
