hi there

Since having computer problems, I'm setting this for autopost on Wednesday the 22nd! I'm scrambling to be ready for this wonderful weekend celebrating our Lord's birth!

my card's for today are both CAS...needed some for a few people that I had forgotten ...and the postage is cheap for these too!

the foil card I've done before but used different colors

~ tip~

adhere your foil to scrap cs, makes it easier to run through cuttlebug

Now pop over and see what the Heartfelt Creations Design Team members have done for today...those ladies are absolutely the best!!!

have a blessed day and hope you are ready to celebrate and if not....no stress - it will all work out (-:

Phridays are Phindy's - use a freebie!

hi there!

This week we are asking you to be frugal and use a freebie. Phindy is very generous with her freebies and there have been many lovely freebies offered at different times over at Papercraftplanet - why not check it out and see what is on there at the moment? Of course your freebie doesn't have to be your Phindy image, as long as you combine any Phindy's Place image with something then you can enter your card - maybe a free downloaded paper, a free sentiment or a freebie that came with a crafting magazine perhaps? Just be sure to use a Phindy's Place image on your creation...

I used the Phindy Phreebie - Beary Beautiful!

so sorry for short post - home very late last night and back to work early this am - gotta pay the bills (-:

..never did get that anonymous million bucks in the mail  LOL
