Candy Cane Time

It's Day 5 of the 25 Days of Christmas at Cooking with Cricut.  Today we're featuring the traditional holiday treat - the candy cane!  I'm sharing one of the delightful digital images you can find at Paper Crafting World - Melin's Gingerbread House.  I've also used the candy cane and ribbon (with the tails cut off) from the Christmas Cheer cartridge.

Be sure to visit Cooking with Cricut to see the other inspirational ideas shared by my fellow design team members and to pick up your free cut file or digital image.  Remember, the freebies are available for 24 hours.  We'd also appreciate it you'd visit our wonderful sponsors.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Christmas is coming!

My daughter's flight was delayed on Sunday giving me a little extra time to complete two cards before leaving for the airport.  Now it's raining, so I figured I'd take the time to post, hoping the rain will let up before we head out to do a little shopping.

The first card is is the wreath from my new Gingerbread cartridge. It has a simple, primitive look with the inking, hemp, and kraft paper.
The next card was for Santa's Slackers.  I wanted to use ornament hangers, but they were too big so I crafted my own for the card.  The stars are cut from Christmas Cheer, both base and shadow, and then popped on the background paper.

OK, so this isn't a card, but it is a new addition to our family.  My husband has trained and run bird dogs for years.  He no longer competes, but he is an avid waterfowl and upland bird hunter.  He has a lab that has been his hunting companion for 9 years.  Now we've added Yaller, a two year old English Pointer.  The dogs keep him busy and active and it gives me all the time I want in my craft room.  Can it get any better than that?

Have a marvelous Thankgiving.  That means Christmas is ONE month away - woohoo, better get busy.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,
