For my Mom's Christmas present I make her a stash of sympathy cards and this year I have made this butterfly as a sympathy card for her. I love the bright colors. I don't think that sympathy cards need to be boring and dull since they need to celebrate the life of a special person.

I decided to make a shaker card for my parents for Christmas. I used a sentiment from TLC Create and a shaker kit from Kat Scrappiness.
Just for a quick update - NO squirrels in my attic, my Dad, brother and son came over last Sunday and found that it was a RACCOON!!! Since it was a lone raccoon it was probably a female since they den alone for the winter since they don't want a male around when they have their babes. She didn't want to leave my warm attic, but with MUCH coaxing from the guys she left. They cleaned up the mess she made, put some new insulation in and replaced the screen on my fan that she ripped out to get in. She tried to come back for several nights which I didn't appreciate and the temperature dropped. So it got quite cold and windy so I'm sure she found a new shelter.
For those of you who celebrate have a Merry Christmas!

Well I used to be a DT member of Tuesday Morning Sketches and I just loved this sketch. So I made a monochromatic Christmas card using some patterned paper and dry embossing the background with stars. I used some die cuts and punches to make this quick and simple card.

Well it's surprising, but this year, I just haven't had the desire to color images. I feel like my Copics sit in the corner while I work from home and give me dirty looks. And to be honest, since I started working from home and moved most of my crafting supplies out of my office....I haven't colored once. I have found a TON of die cuts that I also have not used and felt guilty so I have been trying to use them. I don't feel depressed, I have just found too many things to do in my house now that I am forced to be home that ignored for so long. I am scheduled for a Copic class in January and hope I find some desire with that.
For this card, I used die cuts from My Favorite Things. I have the sentiment as "Happy" and then thought I could use it for birthday, anniversary or just because.
