You are whaley the best

Since today was my first day at my new job....I wasn't going to post a card for Imagine That; however, I found sometime when I got home.  I just love this sentiment from TLC and I put it to use with the image in the set of  Under the Sea.  I love this style of the Decorative Corner Card and I have made a couple of these now.  They are simple and look so stylish.

Our friendship is the best gift ever

I almost forgot to post this card for Deedee's digi's progressive challenge. I survived my first day at my new job.  I'm just afraid that I am going to have to sleep at night and not make cards like an elf so I will have to adjust to daytime hours again.  For this card, I used a wonderful sentiment from TLC.  This is going to be a perfect card for a friend of my who loves to go observing and star gazing.  I added some glitter paper to back the image and some stars around the sentiment.

Let there be Peace

Paulette at TLC asked her DT to create samples with this gorgeous image.  It is truly what Christmas is all about.  I layered my cardinal so he would pop up.  I added pearls on the beautiful Cherry Lynn snowflake. So whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving or not, I hope that you have peace and are able to spend time with your family either today or this weekend.

It's beginning to cost a lot like Christmas

My daughter came home on Tuesday night which is wonderful since I don't get to spend a lot of time with her anymore.  I start my new job on Monday so it is great that we are able to be together for a few days and she will spend Thanksgiving with her Father.  We usually do a shopping thing on Black Friday so we are looking forward to that again.  This year, we did do some on-line things on Wednesday and even went out and did some things in store on too.
For my card, I used a pre-colored image from Pink Gems who is having a sale, and my sentiment which compliments it so well is from TLC.  I pulled out some digital papers from Bearly Mine which match nicely.

My Mom comes from a family of 13 children with there being 10 girls and 3 boys.  So needless to say....I have a few Aunts and LOTS of cousins.  For Christmas, they rent a hall.  So, when I saw this sentiment from TLC there were a few Aunts that I thought of, hehe.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends.  Hope you have time to spend with family and have safe travels.  I will be joining my Mom and Dad as well as my brother and his family.  My kids will be with their Father today, but my daughter and I will plan to do our shopping tomorrow.  We actually started yesterday, hehe.  For this card, I used a beautiful image from TLC and kept it CAS.  I was debating whether to emboss the background, but decided to go plain.

Cheers to a warm and toasty Christmas

I made my monthly progressive challenge card for Gerda Steiner.  This adorable bear is perfect to give for a Christmas gift card for Starbucks.  So I made it a Twisted card which is one of my favorite layouts for a gift card.  It is a very simple design.
