Christmas in July #4

This card was a fun one to make and I actually really liked the Project Life card.  I might consider looking to see if they have a whole Christmas set or not.  I never thought I'd be purposely seeking out Project Life product but the season is making my heart grow 3 sizes bigger I guess!  There's so many shiny pieces on this card but I think they're not too overwhelming.  Plus this was a super quick one to make.  I might have to make a few more like it if I don't make enough Christmas cards come December.

Christmas in July #3

I'm finding that this Christmas in July challenge that I have set forth for myself is a great way for me to use a lot of the old die cuts that my mom gave to me a long time ago.  These ornaments were just what I needed for this layered card!  I also managed to use up yet another Project Life piece.  I'm quite pleased with myself.

Another Project Life piece was put to good use today!  I also managed to use this glitter foam heart from children's Valentine's Day kit that I had left over.  You might notice that it's where I got the glitter hearts for yesterday's Christmas card from as well.  I'm slowly clearing out my stash but I have been looking at some fun embellishments on Etsy lately so hopefully I can hold off at least through August.   Two months should give me some time to clear out even more of my hoard!

I still am trying to trudge my way through using some of my Project Life pieces without having to actually do a Project Life book. I don't know why, but I don't really like them that much.  I do, however, like the way that one of the pieces fit with this quick to throw together card.  All the other pieces were either scraps or left over bits from Paper Pumpkin kits too.  Now I just need it to be someone's birthday to send it out!

Fast Card Friday

Another Project Life piece put to work!  I also managed to use this glittery foam heart that originally came from a little kid's Valentine's Day craft kit that I had left over.  You might notice that it's also where the glitter hearts from yesterday's Christmas card came from!  I'm making progress on clearing out my stash but I've been on Etsy looking at some more embellishments so hopefully I'll be strong enough to make it through at least August without buying anymore.  I think two months should give me enough time to do some serious damage to my hoard.

Fast and Cute

I continued my quest to use up some of my random pieces.  I used a couple of scrap papers I had then plopped a Project Life piece, a funky embellishment and some rhinestones down to make this quick birthday card.  I don't really care as much for the project life albums but some of the parts you can buy for them really do suit me. Now I just have to remember to actually send the birthday cards...
