Fun Photo Cards

 

I joined in a challenge that involved you making cards using a photo.  Well, I couldn't decide on which to use so I did all three. These were so fun & fast...and I love them!  I used embellishments in my scrap basket. The Asian ones also include a few Bo Bunny stickers and Cricut cuts from a swap.  This was a fun swap and now gives me ideas for all those extra photos I take!  

Thanks for looking!

Simply Betty Holiday Cards

 In between all the holiday craziness I have found a little time to work on some cards. 

First my card for the Simply Betty December Facebook Page Fan Challenge. We had three choice for images, all that were adorable, but I chose Jolly Corinne.  for the Corinne image we had to add holly.

All papers were from my scrap basket.  I cut the holly from the December 25th Cricut cartridge.  I cut the red circle form the CTMH Art Philosphy Cricut cartridge.  I used a scalloped edge punch, added some red rhinestones, black ribbon and a little Crystal Effects to her boots.  Smokin'! 


Next, I made this one...another Simply Betty image, Candy Cane Betty.

Again, all papers were from my scrap basket.  The flourishes were a trade with a friend, believe they are a Memory Box die.  I added a black bow, Jolee's poinsettia sticker, red and green rhinestones.

Thank for looking!  Hope your Christmas Eve is not too crazy!

VooDoo Corinne Card

Finally completed my card for the latest challenge for the Simply Betty Fan Page Challenge.  You had two images to choose from and, since I know Corinne personally, I felt I just had to choose her.  For her image you had to include stick pins in your project...easy since it was a voodoo image. 

Thanks for looking!
