Snowman!

I made four of these little guys for a swap that I'm in. My Simply Charmed cartridge and my Cricut have done it again! I absolutely love that cart! I think this snowman is so cute I may have to make a few for myself. What do you think?

Working On Christmas Tags

I got inspired by my new Paper Crafts magazine to make some homemade Christmas tags. These are a couple of ideas I've been playing with using my Cricut, Doodlecharms and Simply Charmed cartridges; ink; ribbon; Stickles; some mini jingle bells; and a little bling. What do you think?

Welcome!

Hi and welcome to my design blog!

I decided I needed a place to share some of my crafting ideas and projects, so here I am. My real identity is that of a writer, but by night I secretly craft things from paper and other miscellaneous media I find lying around. Although, it won't be much of a secret anymore. :-)

Scrapbooking is something I've been doing for over 15 years. Just recently, however, I got into stamping and card making, thanks to my little sister (www.doodlesscraps-diana.blogspot.com). Actually, I've been tentatively testing many waters with the gentle guiding of my sister and some fellow crafters over at the Provocraft community board. I have had a lot of fun participating in craft swaps and RAK's (random acts of kindness) posted on the message board. You can check it out yourself at community.provocraft.com.

I don't have A LOT of time to devote to this since I'm trying to get a writing career off the ground (www.brendaleelez.weebly.com), but when I have something to share I'll be right here. I'd love to hear from you and see what you've been up to as well.

Happy Crafting!

Brendilly :-)
