Greetings, I just wanted to share these adorable pumpkin cottages I made using files from <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/">SVGCuts</a>. I knew right away I wanted to do another one and I'm not done yet. The papers and embossing makes each one unique and special.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Cricut is over 7 years old and did a funky cut...I played with the dials and cutter and the next project cuts were good. I'll have to start thinking about replacing it...or not. New technology to learn... challenging!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Greetings</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I haven't blogged for a year, so when I pulled up my blog and looked at the stats...I have more views per day than ever before. Average 190 views...6,602 last month. Wow! I'm thinking it has to do with Pinterest...I get emails when someone likes or pins my cards. Recently I've received many hits on my doggie symapthy card. I understand the sorrow of loosing a pet so that's no surprise.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This pocket card is a favorite of mine...for more detail I cut all those little circles ...with the Cricut of course....then linked them all together. sticky fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The pocket watch comes in a denim pocket, and has a pocket to add your greeting. Perfect for a retirement celebration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Up next is a 23 inch Eifel Tower from SVGCuts...as proud I am of making it...I probably wouldn't make another one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made this for my granddaughter Laney...the cap was made around a purple box. The purple box I made when she was born...and every time she would visit I would have some treat, toy or puzzle in the box. As she got older I would hide it somewhere and give her a map of where to look for the box and then discover what's inside. So many memories...so much fun.</span><br />

Embossed and embellished with pearls this pearlescent paper sings. The inside has photo corners that hold a removable card to write you personal message. The left corner has a triangle pocket to slip in a gift card, cash, check or an additional personal message.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I even made the envelopes, lined them with foiled wrapping paper and embossed the flap.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The front needed some swirly curly embellishment so I used the negative cut from a swirl and stenciled the shape with blue ink. Not that's how I have fun on a cold rainy wet day. The sunshine yellow cheers me up. I hope you're well and enjoying your life. ~Carole</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wrapping up the year with "</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Wrapping paper"...beautiful, quality foil wrapping paper from Costco inspired me to use this product to make my own personal gift bags. It has the printed grid line on the inside so it's easy to cut out large sections. I used a brown paper bag to spray adhesive on manila card stock [recycled file folders] to reinforce the bags stability. I had the tissue and ribbons and found a use for the medal enhancements applied with a glue dot. </span><br />

My Grandfather worked with wood, so he would build little animal stools for us, my Grandmother baked cookies and presented each of us (at the time there were 13 grandchildren) our own collection of cookies all wrapped up with some Hershey kisses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My father refurbished old bikes for us and my mom sewed us new outfits and matching doll clothes. It was a time before the shopping malls and on line shopping. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year my brother in law and sister's visit included gifts of hot pepper jelly, pepper butter and assorted canned goodies...all grown, harvested, smoked by the two of them. Labeled with her homemade logo. For years, Kit (pet name for my sister) created calendars for family members. We all looked forward to receiving them and understand that it became to time consuming to continue. We now enjoy the scrubbies she crochets and the tasty treats she shares. Home made love.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Times have changed...and I'm not a great shopper...especially when these grand-kids have a plethora of everything they want or need. Truly blessed with generous parents.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As a native of Pennsylvania I was shocked the first time visiting Florida during the Christmas Holidays. To see colored lights on palm trees was beyond my expectations...it seemed so out of whack and quirky. My sister lives in St. Petersburg now, so I thought I would make her a "sand man" beside a palm tree speckled with colored baubles.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm happy to see the stats for my blog showing over 100 views...a little disappointed that there are no comments or questions. I'm re-thinking continuing the blog, it will be easier to just add them to by Pinterest boards. I'll make my decision at the end of the year. Till then do stop by as I continue to created Christmas cards. Be well ! Carole</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had to photograph all the foil cards on an angle so as not to get a total reflective black out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's fun using the foil scraps to create other die cuts.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Greetings, I hope you enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving surrounded by the love of family and friends. After returning from a delicious meal prepared by my daughter Corina, I was inspired to make a few Christmas cards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDo9I_4vq6lup3UIcxJSEbyKr0ZAxDZVNN2H0gBxAV3zEYxEA7vi_zW7mgmwtu6Y09X7DPBe89b27btogd9ku6R6dHEQvVo-2rXMK6sfgXVu36OtKqbmN-KNFxZgWhntFSUxScTsoBFus/s1600/DSCF9025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDo9I_4vq6lup3UIcxJSEbyKr0ZAxDZVNN2H0gBxAV3zEYxEA7vi_zW7mgmwtu6Y09X7DPBe89b27btogd9ku6R6dHEQvVo-2rXMK6sfgXVu36OtKqbmN-KNFxZgWhntFSUxScTsoBFus/s320/DSCF9025.JPG" width="270" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The shaker card was inspired by<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/104216178855037307/"> Maikel</a>. I hope I got her name right. I pinned it to my Pinterest board "Cards I want to recreate" so I could come back to it when I was ready. Here's the first attempt...fun but I knew I could do better. The first try I used glue to attach the acetate, (saved from some packaging) but it got smeary. So the next time I used terrifically tacky tape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGwc7Hps38F3jNU2RkvQe6mjWHQXyS0XKXj2JUUVIYD694h4TTUphE_mQ8SrhaashF0OehyDcbtV98zuCL_-aL-pwT0lXcGbamlsgNulS0lVc1FvwHPouNX39czcw19UMfhtJeskT-ZsA/s1600/DSCF9024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGwc7Hps38F3jNU2RkvQe6mjWHQXyS0XKXj2JUUVIYD694h4TTUphE_mQ8SrhaashF0OehyDcbtV98zuCL_-aL-pwT0lXcGbamlsgNulS0lVc1FvwHPouNX39czcw19UMfhtJeskT-ZsA/s320/DSCF9024.JPG" width="258" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Using the papers and supplies I had on hand...here's the 2nd and third try. This time using seed beads and Styrofoam chips to look like snow. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I created the scalloped topper in SCAL and cut it with my Cricuit. I used a 3" circle die cut to create the ornament and hand cut the top to look like the hanger. I like the glitter paper but Maikel use of the gold mirror paper is exquisite.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Using the same idea of cutting a negative space and lining it with a background paper I made these two cards.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Greetings and Happy Thanksgiving...I'm giving thanks for the many luxuries we take for granted, for the safety and comfort of home, for the love of my family and friends, and for the freedoms of being a citizen of the USA. I hope you're well and enjoying life.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've started making Christmas cards and figure I'll have to make at least 4 a day to cover my mailing list. I'll be looking for inspiration on your blogs and pinterest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I added the white dots because the card looked so plain. I love these Spellbinder bells and ornaments. I cut the sentiment from white sticky back foam...so it looks a bit puffed up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Up next are 2 ornaments I cut from glitter paper. Using 6 die cuts, folded in half then glued to each other to form this 3d ornament. I saw it on Spellbinders idea gallery. When I make the next one I'll glue the string between the die cuts. I like to give ornaments for presents...do you? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll need to get a bit more organized and make duplicate cards if I want to complete my list. That's all for now, I hope to post more often but we'll see how things go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm still challenged with shoulder pain and carpal tunnel syndrome so I'll keep my posts short. I hope you're well and surrounded by the love of family and friends. ~ Carole</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Inspired by Tami Mayberry’s card I saved on <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/98/8a/b3/988ab306de944db395f3895772e303ad.jpg">Pinterest</a> I made this pop up card.

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings... Today I'm jumping into a challenge that speaks to me. Sharing simple kindness is my mission, so when I opened the email from <a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2015/11/share-handmade-kindness-challenge-week-2-community.html">Jennifer McGuire</a> I was inspired to make this card for my chiropractor. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I want him to know how much I value his service.

Greetings crafty peeps. I have for you a collection of 3 birthday cards...all similar, yet different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used my cricut to cut the letters using "cambria math" font because I know it cuts well under an inch. I'd like a script font if anyone know of one that cuts well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used both capital letters and lower case with a shadow back ground.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used American Craft double sided papers...so fun and coordinating. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.wplus9.com/">Birthday Basics</a> is the link for the gift boxes and bows dies, by "wplus9". They even came packaged with a magnetic card, so handy to keep tiny dies from getting lost.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Up next are four cards inspired by </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">this </span><a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/09/24/98/092498f97385772bac7fb43dbc5caa9c.jpg" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pinterest </a> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">link... designed by</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Lynette De Bortoli </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love the versatility of this simple yet charming design. I used the cricut to cut the frames, and a score board for the embossing...a couple of paper punches and stickers for the sentiments. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are three wedding cards: the first is a gate-fold with interlocking hearts. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Woman's Club is planning another fashion show in May, and the theme is Spring Time in Paris. So I cut and assembled these Eiffel Towers for consideration as decorations. We haven't decided on a color theme yet...but I'm partial to blue and yellow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Greetings and thanks for visiting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I will share my latest project, this banner.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I started by cutting premium poster board into pennants then </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">chomping the holes to string them together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I cut small notches at the top of this tri-fold foam core display and inserted the string then pulled to tighten it. They could be tied together for a longer single banner, but this will work as a display board.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I took down the top cluster of pennants and removed the string so that I could add grommets. That's a lot of chomping, so I did it in shifts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I played with different possible ways to layer the letters to add dimension and interest. I decided to keep it simple adding just the white embossed layer over the base, then the letters. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Using the georgia font at 3" tall I cut the first layer of letters/words from recycled cereal boxes and chip board from various products. Then I cut them again using the deep blue to glue on top.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our club's logo is "keeping library doors open", so I want to some how feature the tri-fold as library doors, any ideas are welcome. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Personal note: Yesterday I had an SLT (laser surgery) done to my left eye. After my 2 week check up I'll schedule the first cataract removal. With the eye pressure lowered I hope it will relieve the light sensitivity I've been experiencing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Hoping all is well with all y'all.</span><br />
