I've added Ann Ridge Creations to Facebook  ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ann-Ridge-Creations/460044590734366?ref=hl  )! LOL...........they say it's all intuitive.............don't think they were talking about me.  For some reason I find it all so difficult to understand so it's definitely a work in progress and I also updated my etsy site ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/AnnRidgeCreations?ref=pr_shop_more  )and will be adding to it slowly but surely.

I've been trying to work through my depression and it's slow going but, I've also managed to make a few paper projects.  I love making my cards but haven't made any in a couple months now and would really like to get back into making them.  In the meantime I'm adding a new category which is title All Things Paper.

In addition to the cards for Christmas I also made this pretty quilled picture frame.  I love how it turned out!

I made the 2 sympathy cards 1 for my BIL (top 2 photos) and one for my Cousin.

Wow..............it's really been awhile since I've updated my blog.  It was a bit hectic getting everything ready for Christmas then getting the call Christmas morning that my Brother-in-Law had passed away at 7:03 a.m. It's not a date I will forget.  Anyway finally re-sized my photos and finished a project for my great-granddaughter.

This was very simple to make.  I found the tree tutorial on utube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13yFSs8mDvw.  I changed mine just a little bit from what she had done.   I used a scalloped edge scissor to cut the bottoms then used glitter to enhance them.  

Made it in Red and Green

On the next 3 cards I added quilled snowflakes on either side of the tree.

This year for my Christmas gifts to family I decided to make Christmas Ornament cards.  The ornaments are removable from the cards and the card looks great without.

Poinsettia Ornament

Snowflake Ornament

Wreath Ornament

I made some slider candy boxes for my grandchildren

I quilled  a tree, snowman and snowflake for the 3 boxes.

  I also made some sticky note pad covers
