THANK YOU SO MUCH - A CHILD'S YEAR, DIGITAL DELIGHTS BY LOUBY LOO

Hi Everyone - I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas.  We sure did - Mom and Max came for a visit.  We had so much fun with them.  I think Max got even more spoiled while he was here - he forgot how to walk.  He was carried everywhere - HA!!!  Needless to say, he's precious!!  Here is a picture that Jacob took of Mamaw and Max during their visit:

Now isn't that the cutest picture of both of them??  Here's another revelation - while Mom was here, we didn't craft the whole time - we played with Jacob and Max!!  HA!!!

Since they left, I made some thank you cards using a free digi from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. 

• I used the snowflake card on the Cricut Cartridge A Child's Year.  I cut the card at 5 x 7 size. 
• I cut the patterned paper to 6 3/4" x 2 3/4". 
• I then punched with the Martha Stewart Snowflake punch. 
• I adhered the digi to green cardstock and popped in the center of the card. 
• I used the negative of the snowflake cutout on the front of the card along with a snowflake embellishment.

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for all the comments and visits during the past year.  We hope that you will have a Happy New Year and that 2012 brings you peace and happiness.  Until another day, God Bless You!!  Donna

A Child Is Born - George, Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Hi Everyone – It’s been a long time since I posted something.  For my post for Digital Delights by Louby Loo, I chose to use the set, “A Child Is Born.”  The inspiration for my card came from the blog  Everyday Cricut. 

To form the cardbase, I used Cricut Craftroom and George to weld together the rounded triangle, rectangle, and squares.  I covered the cardbase with green cardstock.  I then printed off all the digis and cut them out. 

I adhered the sentiment to the front of the card, the 3 Wise Men to the middle layer of the card, and all the other digis to the center of the card.  During this time of year, we all need to remember the real reason for the season.

12 Drummers Drumming - Fancy Frames, Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Hi Everyone!!  Today is the final day of the "12 Days of Christmas" over at Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  I decided to decorate a gift bag with this cute "little drummer boy".

I colored the digi with Promarkers  - I then used the Fancy Frames cartridge to cut out the shadow at 6" and the overlay at 6".  After adhering the digi to the frame, I secured it on the front of the bag.

I then cut a gift tag from the Joys of the Season cartridge at 3" and tied it to the bag with Christmas ribbon.   I thought the image needed a little something so I added some bling! 

Wonder who's Christmas gift will go in this bag??  Go on over to Digital Delights and see all the beautiful creations I hope you have a great weekend - enjoy the fall colors on the trees.  Untril another day, God Bless You!  Donna

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY #5 - SOPHIE, ELEGANT EDGES, DESIGN STUDIO

Hi Everyone - It's day number five in the 12 Days of Christmas at Digital Delights at Louby Loo.  I must say that I just LOOOOVVVEEEE  this digi!!  To make this card, I did the following:

I cut the cardbase from the Sophie Cartridge at 7" using the snowflake card out of red cardstock. 

Using Elegant Edges, I cut the white scalloped doily shadow at 4.5" x 4" - then the red snowflake paper doily at  4.25" x 3.724".  I cut the green scalloped doily shadow at 3 3/4" x 3.119 and the green holly paper doily at 4" x 3.5".  I adhered them together to the cardbase.  I tied a red bow around the green square. 

I colored the Five Golden Rings digi with Promarkers and popped on red dotted paper. 


I then cut the border on the inside of the card using Elegant Edges.  

Please visit Wendy over at Digital Delights and see all the digis she has created for the 12 Days of Christmas.  I'm going to enter this card in a contest at a Circle Cricut Crop I'm going to today!!  Hope I win!!  Until another day, God Bless You!!   Donna
