Count Your Blessings Card - #1 CardzTV Stamps

I cannot believe that fall is almost here. I love this time of year. Back home we went on hayrides, sat by the fire, watched the stars, and enjoyed the crisp, cool air.  However, here in the desert, we enjoy sunshine, sipping my pumpkin spice coffee, and remembering what the leaves changing looks like.
Every fall I get a little homesick for the East Coast.
I have a friend who is in need of some encouragement so what better what to encourage someone than to make them a card.

For this card I used:
My Cricut Explore Air
Autumn Celebrations - Thanksgiving 2 - Acorn and leaves
Label - Close to My Heart Art Philosophy
Sentiment: CardzTV Stamps "Thankful for You"


Thanks for joining me today!! I hope you are inspired to make a fall card and share it with me in the comments!!

Have a blessed week!!

Butterfly Card

I love butterflies. This card was inspired by the embossing folder that I used to create the background.  I created this happy Butterfly card using a few fun supplies.
The White is embossed with a Butterfly folder from Sizzix. The Butterflies are from the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge. 
The sentiment Have a Happy You Day! is from CardzTV Stamps This 'n' That stamp set. You'll love this set. I find that I use it quite often. 


I hope you enjoyed this fun card!! I had so much fun making it!!

Have a blessed day!!

Horses Birthday

Hi everyone, 
Today I am honored to be a guest designer at Crafty Card Gallery for a 2nd today. Today is a special day for me as eight years ago I gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl after being worked up for MS. She is our joy and makes us laugh daily. 
She loves horses. In honor of her birthday, I headed to the Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge and found the horses from the carousel. 

 The base of this card is cut from Close to My Heart Art Philosophy at 5 inches in white. Next the horses are cut from page 50 at 2.36 inches in Real Dial Size. The mats are from page 35 accent 4 in the floral paper at 3.5 and 3.25 inches. 
Carleigh loves pink so the horses are pink at her request. 
The sentiment of Happy Birthday is from CardzTV Stamps Happy Days stamp set. I accented the card with some pink liquid pearls as Carleigh loves bling like any girl. She loves her card and has it displayed in her room. 

 Blessings,
Shawnee

Christmas Banners for Special Needs Kids BLOG HOP, November 10-12, 2012


Christmas Banners for Special Needs Kids BLOG HOP, November 10-12, 2012


"In the eyes of children, we find the joy of Christmas. In their hearts, we find its meaning."

As joyous as Christmas is for most families, for some, their holidays are filled with worry, medical treatments and tests, and pain -- for their child must be hospitalized or she or he needs long-term care rather than being home with their families. 

For these kids, Santa doesn't slip down a chimney but rather, often comes in the guise of community volunteers who help make the season bright.  



This is the second Christmas season that our own band of dedicated and loving paper crafters have come together to make Holiday banners for children who are too sick to be home for the holidays.  Welcome to the Christmas Banners for Special Needs Kids blog hop!

I am especially pleased that this year, not only have our numbers of generous crafters swelled so our Hop is over three full days, but also, that we have partnered with another great cause and recipient of our banners!


By teaming up with Madison Womack's I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT, the banners our crafters have handmade will be going to the hospitalized children at Children's Hospital Central California! 

First, let me show you the banner I made for today's post. I'll be sending this to Madison and the children at CHCC who are benefiting from the I Feel the Love project in December:



For this banner I used:
  • Birthday Bash circle cut at 5 inches
  • Cricut Lite Lacy Labels Hello cut at 3.75 inches
  • 3 Birds on Parade 2.5 inches snow and winter guy
  • CardzTV Stamps Christmas Joy and Classic Christmas


  Now, have I inspired you to make and donate your own banner or a Christmas card or two to the I Feel the Love Project?  I hope so!  Because if you will, you'll be entered into a drawing to win:
CARDMONKEY's SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
Super-Fantastic Gift Basket
Throughout the month of December, I'll be adding crafty goodness to this basket so that it will be over-flowing and ripe and ready for under your tree. I'll be picking the winner on Christmas Eve, announcing the winner on Christmas Day, and if you win, you'll have the basket in your hands by New Year's Day!! 
Stay tuned to the CardMonkey blog over the next few weeks leading up to the drawing, as I'll be posting the contents of the basket as they mount. 
 OK, so to win the GRAND PRIZE (all continents are welcome!), here's what you must do:
1.  Be a follower of the CardMonkey blog and tell me in your comment how I can contact you.
2.  Leave a comment telling me what you plan to make and send to the IFTL project by their deadline, December 10.  Then do it!  Go to www.ifeeltheloveproject.blogspot.com for mailing information for your card or banner.  Your card or banner MUST be received by Madison by the deadline to be eligible to win the GRAND prize!  
NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME??  You can still win great blog candy just by being here and commenting on as many banner makers' blogs over the course of the next three days.  
Since we have more than 50 banner makers today, tomorrow and Monday, I'll be picking 5 blogs at random, and then one random comment from that Blog site, for that commenter to win one of five great prizes, which are:
  1. Susan Bermudez, Independent Consultant for Creative Memories, donating a $20 gift certificate for Creative Memories products from her catalog (http://www.mycmsite.com/sites/susanbermudez/).
  2. Scrappin' Madge: $25 Gift Certificate to The Scrappin Lounge Shoppe (http://madgesscrappinlounge.storenvy.com/)
  3. Fresh Brewed Designs: Two prizes - One prize is a rubber stamp, Item #497 "Cutie Pie Ice Skating" (http://www.freshbreweddesigns.com/item_497/Cutie-Pie-Ice-Skating.htm), and the other is a $15 Digital Stamp gift card.
  4. The Paper Temptress (www.papertemptress.com) - Owner Patricia Dunbar will donate a $25 Gift Certificate to her online store, the Paper Temptress.
  5. The Pinque Peacock (www.pinquepeacock.com) - Owners Jessica Shelton will donate a gift certificate to her NEW store (products are being added daily -- watch as she grows!)
  6. In addition, Close to My Heart Independent Consultant Lucy Kelleher will award a $20 gift certificate to a randomly-selected hopper who visits her blog (http://love2createitall.com) and/or Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LucyK.CTMH) and posts a comment about the banner blog hop!
P.S. -- Be sure to check out as many blogs as you can, as several will be providing their own blog candy with their own requirements.  If I catch them along the way, I'll add them to this list, as a shout out of gratitude, and also so you don't miss out on some sweet candy(canes!)...
