Happy Holidays with CANDi

Welcome to my design team day with Craftwork Cards!!

Today I'm showing off one of the first Christmas cards I made with my new CAMEO!!  WOOT WOOT!!!  I'm still trying to get the hang of the measurements and stuff but I LOVED this image when I saw it and had to use it. 

I used the Very Merry Silver CANDi in the center of the snowflake to accent it, and I think this pack is becoming my FAV....I just love how the colors make your image POP!

Brrr baby! Wobble Day

Happy Tuesday and welcome to my Action Wobble Design Team Day ... let's Wobble!!! 

You know what time of the year it is??? It's the time of year where everyone, ok maybe just me, is running around like a chicken with my head cut off to make Christmas cards.  

Actually, this year has been worse with my cards then years past.  My Cricut Imagine quit working a couple of weeks ago so I had to make a decision about what I wanted to do about a new die cut machine, cause I couldn't be without one.  So, as I was kicking my Imagine to the curb I was running the pros and cons through my head about getting a Silhouette Cameo.  After weighing everything and finding a good deal on Cyber Monday I had a Cameo on the way to my house.  It finally got delivered the other day and I have to say in just the few days I've had it I'm pretty impressed with how it cuts compared to my Imagine, but there is a learning curve as with all die cut machines but I think we're gonna be good buddies. 

This is the last card I made with my Imagine before it died, and it's going to go to a friend of mine that LOVES penguins.  
 


This is what the wobble looks like under your image, a cute little spring :) 

If you don't have any Action Wobbles of your own you can pick them up at the  
Royal Shoppe  and you won't be disappointed - they give life to all your projects :)   Warning:  they are addictive!
 
You still have time to join our Current Challenge, but don't delay because there will be a new one starting tomorrow. 

We would love it if you would become a follower of our Action Wobble blog and "Like" us on Facebook and share your Wobble projects with us.

Washi Up! Wednesday Challenge

Happy Wednesday everyone... it's time to get your Washi on!!!  

Today is the new challenge over at the Washi Up! Challenge Blog and I got to pick the theme for the week ... WOO HOO!!!!!

The challenge for this week is super easy... well I think it is :) 

Let's see if you can guess what it is by looking at my project??? 


Need a hint....??? Here ya go .... Telephone!!! 

Well, I'm sure you guessed the most obvious part of the challenge ... you MUST use Washi Tape.  It doesn't have to match mine of course, you can use whatever colors you have.  

But here's the most important part of the challenge .... your theme must be something telephone related.  You can use a telephone in your design, two tin cans with a string, a cell phone, or whatever else you may use to communicate with people :) 

Don't have any Washi tape, and wanna get your own?? You can purchase all kinds of designs of Washi tape here.

You can enter the challenge which will run until Tuesday December 11, 2012 at the Washi Up! Challenge blog.  I'd love to see you get your Washi on!!!

Merry Christmas with CANDi

Welcome to my design team day with Craftwork Cards!!

Today I'm showing off one of my Christmas cards and I used the CANDi to accent the holly berries.  I'm more of a less is more kind of girl and in person the CANDi looks soooo nice on the front of the card and gives it that extra umph!!

  I hate how pictures really don't do the project justice, because this is really one of those times!
