Let it Snow

I don't know why I haven't made more of these cards in a box, I really like the.  For this one I used the Best of Snow from the series of stamps last year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Stampin' Up! along with some retired DSP.  Thanks for stopping by!

Warm Winter Wishes

Good afternoon!  Today I have a Christmas card to share using the stamp set Winter Memories.  I used the Holiday Frame and the Snowflake embossing folders.  The red framelit in the middle is from the Window Frames Collection.  Gotta run, I am getting my punch class together for tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!

Snowflake Wreath

Good evening!  My project for today is the last of the wreaths we did at my wreath class, I know you are probably tired of seeing them.  I do have a few more ideas for wreaths but they will not be completed anytime soon.  I covered the wreath form with a soft yarn that looks like it may be intended for a baby blanket and then added die cut snowflakes.  Each of the bigger snowflakes has a smaller one in the middle which has Dazzling Diamonds on it but is hard to see in the photo. If you click on the photo, you can see the detail a little better.   I finished them off with a Baja Breeze button and tied some retired Baja Breeze ribbon into a bow.  Thanks for stopping by!

Tag Time

Good morning!  hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful, mine was ...lots of food and family.  Today I have a gift tag to share with you.  I found this cute stamp set  called Festive Friends that came out in 2000 at a consignment store and had to have it.  The images are perfect size for tags and really fun to color as well.  I used a die to cut the tag out but wanted it to be a little longer so I added a piece of embossed card stock and sandwiched it between two die cuts.  This keeps the back side neat in case the markers bleed through as well. 

The Best Christmas Ever

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, we certainly did.  I have been absent for over a week but hopefully things will settle down here a bit so I can play with all my new things I got to pre-order for the  Occasions Mini which starts Jan 4.  We bought each of our 3 oldest children a "special" gift this year for Christmas.  We bought Heather a house, Chad got 5 acres of land to build on, and Seth got a house.  The houses are in need of a little attention such as painting and some minor repairs so my husband and I have been busy helping out there.  We didn't tell Heather and Chad ahead of time what we were doing so they were very surprised when we told them they would have to get in the car and drive to see their Christmas gift this year.  They were  in shock but very happy.  They both live in Indiana but have always said that was temporary and wanted to move closer some day, that someday will be sooner now!

Ok, you didn't come to hear about all that!  I just can't put this cute snowman away, he is so easy to color and so versatile.  I am using him this time for my Thank You cards for all the ladies(Karen G., Mandy, Brooklyn, and Karen R.) who placed on-line orders in December.  Thanks for stopping by!

Twelve Days of Christmas Day 9

I don't know about you but I am finished with Christmas cards although I do have a few gifts left to buy as well as a lot of wrapping to do. I am afraid I have done it again this year, I really bought too much for my younger kids. Their grandparents came from Alabama yesterday and had Christmas with them, they usually take them to their motel and do gifts, take them out to dinner, and then let hem spend the night at the motel with them. This year however Shelby has strep throat and wasn't feeling well yesterday so they brought them home around 9:00 pm. so I had a little less time to get some things crossed off my "to do" list than I'd planned on.

Today, I thought I would share a thank you card, I have started working on those to send out after Christmas. Sometimes I combine my thank you with a Happy New Year card and I will share those with you over the next few days.

Twelve Days of Christmas Day 7

For today I want to show you my snowflakes I cut with the Big Shot. I used Diet Coke cans which I cut apart and flattened. I just love how they turned out. I also cut some out of white vinyl for my windows. See you tommorrow, the kids were out of school today because of ice and they are at this moment bickering and I am sure the fight will begin any moment.
