Meowy Christmas...for a cat lover

Made this card for a friend who is a huge cat lover...she has a black and a grey cat...so I thought I would make her a personal card for Christmas...hope she likes it.

Miss You

Made this card for the weekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts...this weeks theme was "Missing You". The papers are all DCWV La Creme Stack...which is so luxurious and beautiful...I, like the other design team members, have a hard time actually using this paper...its sooo beautiful. But I made myself cut some up and make this card...you can find the instructions near the top of my blog by clicking on the link "Miss You" There is also a complete list of supplies I used. Be sure to post your missing you projects at My Sheri this week...enter 2 projects and have your name entered to win a cricut E cover!

50 Yr Anniversary Card

Made this card for an upcoming 50th Anniversary on dh's side of the family. The sketch was designed by Raquel (RAQ) Panos...and posted for this weeks challenge on the Cricut mb. Paper is GCD Studios, Zen Collection, and I have a renewed affinity for raffia. It was likely one of the first dimensional embellies I purchased 6 or 7 years ago when this addiction started...and I hadn't used much of it for the last few years, and suddenly I want it on everything...its cheap and really adds a nice touch to projects. Used OA for the 50, BB for the greeting, and G for the circles.

Garden Art

Made this for my back yard garden. We got the doors free at a yard sale...they came out of an old church, and I knew exactly what I wanted them for. So we stood them up against the block wall that borders our property, and then dh bought a print in a frame, and I altered it...its not up yet, but will be hung on the door

Made these two cards for RAQ's card challenge this week. They are from the same sketch...daveshunny inspired me with her ladybug card in the same design...and although cute and whimsical is usually not my style, these were a lot of fun to make

From Holland to Canada

These pictures are I think my favorite of all the old pics given to me. They are of my family when they arrived in Windsor, Ontario, from Holland. The journalling tells the story of the trip across the ocean by boat, and then by train from Halifax to Windsor...as remembered by my mom, who is now 88. I can't even imagine leaving your homeland with 5 boys, leaving your family and friends, for a country where you don't speak the language or even have a job...what an accomplishment...I don't think I have even a portion of what it takes to do such a thing...so I have deep admiration for my parents who did. Suitcases are from PDDU, title was made with SB and OA.

Wall Art

Made this quote for a wall facing our main entrance. The swirls are made from HA, most of the letters are Stamped, with the bold and cursive being OA...most of letters are 2" with the bolder ones at 3"...dh measured and taped it all off for me, so we could get it even. I also made a mock up before cutting the Wall Pops...as I changed it a few times to get the look I wanted. If you are interested in ordering a custom wall quote, please contact me at scrappingcat@yahoo.ca with "wall art" in the subject line. I make these to order, will ship anywhere in North America, payments made via paypal.
