Thank you Iva for hosting the online pajama crop! For those that missed it and would like to join in the next one visit Iva's Scrappy Blog and keep watching for the next one!
Here is another card to share with you, this one was made with a $1.00 card set from Target.

I just added some simple embellishments and voila! I think it came out kinda cute!

If you have never done an online crop, you should really give it a try! It is nice because you can craft in your own place but still have others crafting with you! Isn't technology wonderful!!!
Here are some of the cards I have completed during the crop!!
This one has a free digi from Digital Two for Tuesdays!!


This one is embossed with red glitter and the paper is from
Webster's pages-Petite pages. I really like how the paper did all the work in making this a beautiful card!






I know it is not Christmas lol but I needed to get this one done she makes an adorable kitty!!!

Today I just thought I would post a few pics of some of the cards I have made.
Saturday is an online PJ crop, so will be posting some more then! Have you ever done an online crop? They are so fun, you get to craft at home with all your own stuff around you, and still be
with great people and share, talk and have fun!







This is just a very simple card, but I really like it!








I Love a variety of styles of stamping, it seems lately I have really been liking the vintage feel. The background of this card is done with plain ole household waxpaper and ink..I think it really adds to the card!






Another vintage style card~

I love doing crafts with kids, I like to see their imagination let loose! One of the projects I did with a group of kids was marble painting. It was so much fun and kids made up a game of getting the marbles into different colors! Below is the how to.
Marble Craft
First I have to thank my friend Sam for sharing this idea with me!

The Supplies you will need are:
Card stock (I used white)
Tempura Paint (I am sure any paints will work)
Marbles
Shallow Box
Now the fun begins.
Place your paper in the box, add blobs (I like that word lol) of paint around the outside of paper. I place one blob of each color randomly around the paper.

Next you drop the marbles in the box, you can use as many as you like. You then tilt the box in all directions getting the marbles through the pain and then let it roll all over the paper.











That is all there is to it!
Let them dry! You then have beautiful masterpieces to frame! We decided to make cards for the kids parents with ours. The kids used punches and cut out different shapes and then glued them to cards! I am sorry I forgot to take pictures of there finished cards but the kids were very proud of their work!
