December Daily - Day 13

December 13th is my father-in-law's birthday.  This is a picture of the card I made.

December Daily - Day 12

A picture of our first Christmas card this year!

December Daily - Day 11

We put our tree up finally.  There are no lights or ornaments yet but at least we got it up!

December Daily - Day 10

I took a day off from work and started putting my cardstock and embellishments in my ScrapRack.

December Daily - Day 8

DH and I like lighthouses so when I saw that Hallmark started a new Lighthouse ornament series, we had to get the first ornament of the series.

December Daily - Day 7

My favorite drink - Starbuck's Peppermint Mocha Cappucino!

December Daily - Day 6

Pictures of my DH's "hazardous" Christmas gift.  I bought him a SodaStream and the box had a hazardous material label on it because of the CO2 cartridge.

Used my stash to finish a Single Page Sketch for a Yahoo Group I belong to.

Nothing fancy, no Cricut was used.  Paper is from a Paperwishes.com monthly scrapping kit and the title is made from Thickers.

CRICUT COLLECTIBLE MAGAZINE CHALLENGE

Knight in shining armor saves Princess from the evil dragon!  He doesn't look very evil, though.  The Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge for June was to dress up your Cricut Collectibles.  I chose to use Paper Doll Dress-Up and do the Princess/Knight/Castle/Dragon thing!

I've just signed up to become an Independent Close to My Heart Consultant.  I'm not sure how this is going to work out because I don't know anyone else who scraps!  We'll see how it goes.  I may end up being my own best customer!  LOL!!
