Remember to add your Twist.. ornament!

My Challenge DT entry.....


I chose an image from our Sponsor for my first card, I just love this digi....Tree of Raggedy Hearts...I have so many ideas on how you can add this digi to projects. Just lovely!

I've added two more cards using the Challenge theme, the below card is  a 3D effect.  The text was done using my Cricut draw feature and a glitter pen.

For the last card, I used just the ornament from the same Anna Griffin design. Then I added a few snowflakes, bling and done.



The colors are much darker and brighter than showing.

My craft are has very poor lightening as with the inside of my home.

I've yet found a way to get my pictures to show the true colors, any tips or ideas would be greatly welcomed.

So there you have it, my challenge card spins.

Entering in Challenge:




Happy Holidays to all...Merry Christmas early....

Little Tree....

that I made and will pass along to brighten someone's day!

The tree is  Pinterest inspired and the doilies are cut from card stock using designs from the Cricut Design Space.

For this tree, I decided to use the same patterned material rather than three different prints. I think, I like it better, you can see the other two trees here in the photo.

Next, I'm going to try and make a larger version.... where I can add a few ornaments, wish me luck.


There you have it, little hand sewn Christmas trees!

With the holidays approaching and time is short, I'm rushing to finish up my last few projects.

So.........Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Enjoy, blessings and hugs, Lori m

Charlie Brown...

tree.  I knew once I saw Patti's tree, and looked in my Scor Pal book this is the tree for me to make.

It did take me the best of two days to complete and guessing my glue didn't dry quick enough as things are tilted.... sigh.

I added empty ribbon spools of different widths... for a quirky tree look. Well....it's quirky alright and not quite what I had in mind. So this first attempt is my Charlie Brown version, the next one will be as meant to assemble lol.



Same tree different photos, I added some pearls, mini lights and some cut out decorations and text words. 

The tree was all scored on my 1/8" Scor Pal and cut with my trimmer.

Decorations are all cutouts done on my Cricut machine along with the text words. All in all, when the lights are on in the dark, its pretty cute.

I'm going to enter this is the Scor Pal Challenge.

Enjoy, blessings and hugs, Lori m

Not a card.....

just another Birthday gift finished and ready to deliver tomorrow.  My Mom will be turning 91 and this year I decided to make her another floral arrangement for her Dining table.  With the floral arrangement I added a table runner which I'm new to making and a couple books as she loves to read.

Here's the picture, the floral arrangement looks lopsided, honest its not, tis my poor photo taking skills lol.



Please excuse my messy craft room....I had so many projects started and need to finish them soon.

Happy Thanksgiving to all a bit early, blessings and hugs, Lori m
