Simpleton.

I am simple.
I like to think simple, and not lazy. I like to think that this invitation (to Molly's 1st Birthday Tea) is 'Understated' and not 'Under-achieved'. Hmmmm.
It's beautiful though isn't it. One piece of cardstock. Turn it through the Big Shot, back through the Cuttlebug (I am told one machine could do both, but I just can't figure out how & I've since tossed the manual). Cricut up some little green M's. Spot of glue. Done.
I used mostly odd balls pieces of cardstock (and one borrowed, Thanks Tracey!), none of my whites match.... & about one hours time.
And now, because these are done, I have more time to read, clean my kitchen and ... prepare for the Tea-less Tea Party ;)

Christmas Card 2008 - By Haley Ross
I wanted to include last years Christmas Card on the final page of Miles' Christmas album. Rhonda thought up a great way for me to attach it so that I could still see the backside (thanks!). I made the card using Heritage Makers digital scrapbooking website & I was so happy with it.
I have been using a tonne of the Christmas line from Stampin' Up lately. Isn't it beautiful? And there are some great elements to go with the paper.

Materials: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics; Patterned Paper & Stickers: Stampin' Up; String: May Arts; Brads: Doodlebug Designs; Rhinestones: Kaiser Craft; Poinsettia & letter sticker: making memories.

Idea 003

Sometimes I sit down, ready to scrapbook, and I just can't. There's nothing creative going on upstairs. So I make a card. Just playing with all of the great products gets me in the mood to do more. I usually only use stamps, scraps and left over embellishments for my cards (I'm too cheap to use stuff from my Scrapbook stash!). Plus, if I start every scrap session with a card, my stash continues to grow, which means I wont get stuck without a handmade card when I need one.

Materials: Card: AMuse; Cardstock: Bazzill; Stamps: Autumn Leaves & Inkadinkadoo (I just LOVE LOVE LOVE their Kathy Davis stamps); Ink: Jet Black StazOn; Other: Ribbon & Colored Staples.
