Happy New Year!!

Here it is, just hours away from the new year! I'm sitting in my office packing for a day of scrapbooking tomorrow with my best friend. My oldest daughter is having fun with her best friend and family, camping in New Mexico and my other three children are playing our new Wii we got for Christmas, in the living room. Life is good.

Here's to 2010!

YUMMY!! Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

I do not bake homemade cookies very often. Mainly because I hate the mess of making them and the time it takes for each batch to cook. But this year I ran across a interesting sugar cookie recipe that I just HAD to try. After making and eating a few cookies, I have to say that I may never buy store bought sugar cookies again!

If you are wanting to make these cookies please visit my CTMH sister Karen Pedersen for her wonderful Sour Cream Sugar Cookie recipe!

Happy Baking!

Card Club: Sweet Home

These cards were created at my Card Club for December. Each month my club members get together at my house and we create a total of six cards in three styles but all using the same card sketch. It always amazes me how just by turning the sketch and changing up the papers makes each card look totally unique. If you would like to make these beautiful cards at home please email me for this special kit.

Snowman Birthday Invitations

My youngest daughter's birthday is December 20th. Being so close to Christmas I was not sure if she wanted a Christmas theme or something else. She decided that she wanted a Snowman Birthday Party. I was very excited because I just bought the new Cricut cartridge Snow Friends and new it would be perfect.

I created the card using Close To My Heart's Wishes Card Confidence Program. I chose the Roundabout design since the circle reminded me of a big snow ball. Perfect for snowmen. Since she is invited both girls and boys we had to make both boy and girl invitations. I really liked how they turned out and hope our guests like them too.
