I am IN LOVE!!

I have to confess.. I have two new loves in my crafting life right now..  Tim Holtz's products and my new toy, Silhoette machine!!!  Just take a look at my card, how can you not LOVE these products!!!

I know I am not getting paid for this, but this also tells you that this is my absolute true opinion ;-)  Tim Holtz's dies and embossing folders are to die for!!  And I am not only talking about the designs, I am talking QUALITY!!!!  Did you know that with TH dies you can cut through a THICK chipboard??!!  Did you see how deep the embossing is from his embossing folders??!!  OH MY!! 

And what about Silhoette??  I have no idea why Cricut is so popular and not so many people even know about Silhoette??  You won't believe how much more freedom you have with Silhouette vs. Cricut!!!  You can buy individual images instead of a whole cartridge (where you might only love a few designs), you can cut whatever size you need, you can make changes to the images, you can position the image on the cut mat where you want (thus saving on paper)!!  I can go on and on.. and I have only had this machine for a few days now and I am still learning!!

Onto my card now :-) 

This card is one of the projects at my upcoming upcoming December Workshop!!  To see other projects that we will be making at the Workshop please click HERE.

Christmas Step Card

I got my Silhouette machine in mail two days ago and I finally got to play with it today!!  The tree borders and Santa's sleigh are the Silhouette die cuts!!  LOVE it!!  I wanted to put more on this card, but the card refused..  There is some understated beauty there in this card.. it is very simple and has an old times feel to it..

Ice Skating in the Winter Park

I really wish that you could see how pretty and sparkly this card is in real life.. I used Crystal Lacquer on the Ice Skating Ring and covered the whole thing with chunky glitter!!  SO SPARKLY!!  Oh well.. You'll just have to trust me and use your imagination ;-)

Just lately I became absolutely obsessed with Tim Holtz products.  I have admired them from afar for way too long, just didn't think they were my style..  But once I started, there is no way back!!  It seems that every single project that I've made lately has at least one of Tim Holtz's products on it.. It's an obsession, I am telling you!!  an obsession!!!  On this card I made the scene for Marci with Tim Holtz Christmas Tree die, I embossed those trees with Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sponged with Distressed Ink.. LOVE it!!

This is the second card for my upcoming "Christmas Marci and Luka" card class at Jazzy Crafts in Castro Valley, CA.  We will make three Christmas cards in this class, all different designs.  To see the first card please click HERE.

Christmas Tray

This was quite a project!!  It was almost like designing seven cards at once and they all had to go together :-)  But it's done now and I am pretty happy with it.. It was actually fun to do and I know that I will make this type of trays again for other occasions.

This Altered Painter's Tray is one of the projects for my upcoming December Workshop!!
