Cute Cards from Journaling/Photo Cards

I had this image on my desk with buttons that I pulled for it earlier in the year but never made a card with it. I needed a card for a regular customer so I thought this image would work perfectly. This image is from a paper pack I bought a couple years ago. It has several journal cards with images on them. I ended up using several this year to make quick cards. I used Freshly Made Sketches #268 for my inspiration.

Rockin’ Christmas 6 x 6 Paper Pad

This was another card made for the regular (guy from our old church) card customer that needed 20 cards. I had bought a 6 x 6 paper pad at Hobby Lobby in the fall because it was cute and on sale. Well it was perfect as I made several cards from the paper in the pack. I used Tuesday Morning Sketches #371 as my inspiration.

Merry Christmas Kiddo!

One of the guys at work was driving to Hallmark and then remembered I made cards so he called me up asking if I could make his daughter a card. Not ever making cards for him and not sure what he wanted since his daughter is in college I sent him several images from different sites. He picked Cookies for Santa at The Paper Shelter. It has both pre-colored and outline images so it was perfect. This is what I designed with that image:

His front had a different sentiment as it was more personal but in my hurry to get it done I forgot to take a picture of it. So I had to make another one to take a picture so it could be posted on my blog.

Well, then that just went so easily into the October Card Challenge – Sketch Category at Scrapbook.com I made that card too! I used Sketch: Seems A Little Sketchy #23 for the Scarecrow card.
