Christmas Card 12

This was stamped with resist ink and chalked over the stamped images to get the softer effect on the text. 5 jingle bells stamps hang off some of the words with champage stickles, Three chalked snowflake punches and Snowdots Cuttlebug embossing folder. Inside with the same treatment as the text on the cover is the words Merry Christmas. I used a corner rounder punch to round off the edges on the card.

Birdies Ball

Spring once said to the birdies all I want to give you little birds a ball.
So one and all both great and small flew from their nests to the birdies ball.
Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la
Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la
The wood pecker flew from his hole in the tree, and brought his bill to the company.
The berries ripe and the cherries red was a mighty fine ball so the birdies said.
Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la
Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la
They danced all night till the moon was low and the mother bird said it's time to go.
So one and all both great and small flew to their nests from the birdies ball.
Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la
Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la


Just had to share this song that my mother sings. Really cute! Would work great on a Scrapbook page.

Frankenstein Jumping Jack

Another Jumping Jack Frankinstein that I designed in Cricut Design studio. I used stickles on his lapels and shirt and his hair. Screw Brads for adding his arms and legs to the body and green and black embroidery floss for his strings. I really need to learn how to add a file to my blog for uploading the cut files! I'm having so much fun playing with my cricut!

Mummy Jumping Jack

This is another Jumping Jack I made for a halloween layout. It's a mummy created using my baby bug and the george and basic shapes cart. I used white mulberry paper overtop the cut file that I created in Design studio. And then I used brown and black chalks to make him a bit dirty. Embroidery floss is used to make his strings and make him JUMP! He's Cool!

Jumping Jack Witch

I created her with the George and Basic Shapes Cart. And Design Studio. I think she turned out pretty spiffy! She's a Jumping Jack. And I used Stickles to give her a bit of bling and hand cut the broom out. A milky white gel pen to add stitching around her apron and fuzzy fibers that I had collected over my fifteen years of scrapbooking.
