School Picture Ornament

Good morning!  Today's project is a cute Christmas ornament using your child's school photo.  I saw this on Pinterest and knew I had to dig out a few prior school photos, this one is from last year.  I used the chipboard that comes as a backing in our DSP packs and a layer of card stock on each side of that.  I cut my card stock to just fit the crayons and then hot glued them down.  You could put the year on them so you will remember when the photo was taken or I just put 2nd grade.  Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Mittens

 

 

Good morning!  I have been making a lot of  Christmas cards this week in preparation for my biggest craft show of the year. I haven't used the Mitten builder punch very much so I pulled it out for this card.  The DSP is from the Festival of Prints Paper Stack available in the Holiday Mini and the card stock colors are Lucky Limeade and Cherry Cobbler.



I also have a photo of my Sadie to share.  Sadie loves being outside riding her bike and when I went to check on her yesterday, I found her playing under a huge Pine tree in the yard.  She had gathered a big pile of pine needles which she said she was going to use to make bird nests and put them in the tree.  I didn't have the heart to tell her the birds wouldn't use her nests but preferred to build their own.

Perfecly Preserved Birthday

 

Good morning!  Today I have a CAS birthday card to share.  I love quick cards and this one was certainly that.  I found a piece of Very Vanilla card stock that was already scalloped when I was cleaning up my work area, so I built this whole card around leftovers from other cards.  The cherries are from Perfectly Preserved and not sure what the DSP is.  Thanks for stopping by!

Blue Ribbon

Good monday morning!  Today I have a birthday card to share.  I used the stamp set, Blue Ribbon, another one of those sets I bought as soon as it was available but just now getting to use it.  I also used the World Spectacular DSP which is featured on page 31 of the Idea Book and Catalog.  I love the color combinations in this collection of papers and  I will have a few more projects to share with you soon.

We finally made it to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend and it was very enjoyable. We are having such beautiful Fall weather here in southern Illinois and the leaves are pretty. I do get homesick for my mountain home during Fall so getting outdoors makes it a little easier. I have a couple photos of the kiddos(well, at least two of the kiddos, the teenager isn't in to Pumpkin Patches or photos these days) to share as well. 

 

 

 

 

Gratitude

Good afternoon! Today's project is one of the choices from my Cannery class.  I love giving little gifts to teachers at school and church to show appreciation for all they do for my kids and since Mason jar gifts are so popular now I will be giving this.  The Mason jar has Trail mix in it and the topper is made with Orchard Harvest fabric.  The DSP on this project is from the Orchard Harvest collection and the card stock colors are Island Indigo, Gumball green, More Mustard and Whisper White. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween

 

 

Good morning!  Today I have a couple Halloween projects to share, a card and a little box to put a few treats in.  I love the Howlstooth and Scraingbone DSP and since it isn't necessarily for Halloween you will probably see much more of it after Halloween.  Gotta run, I am working on my class for tomorrow which is the Cannery Class using the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and the matching Framelit dies.  Thanks for stopping by!

Grab Your Broom

 

 

Good morning!  Today I have a  Halloween project to share with you, I have seen these all over the Internet so not sure who came up with it but is so cute.  There are a number of videos around as well, just google Utube and then coffee filter witch's broom and you can make one for yourself.  The broomstick is actually a Tootsie Roll Pop and I used a black Sharpie marker to color it.  These are so easy that I think this is what my Trick or Treaters will get on Halloween.

Christmas Blessings

Good morning!  I am totally refreshed after my FULL day yesterday(it didn't stop after I posted yesterday, but I won't bore you with the details), it is amazing what a few hours of sleep will do.  Today's card was made with some leftovers from a card class I had recently.  It is so CAS that I may just use this design for the cards I make to send this year.  The stamps used were Bells and Boughs and More Merry Messages and the card stock colors are Real Red, Gumball Green, and Very Vanilla.  Thanks for stopping by!

ps....I am taking orders for Christmas cards, in fact I had two yesterday so if I usually make yours and you want them again this year, please let me know ASAP as I  am limiting the # of orders I take on this year.  I like to have them made by the first week of December.  Prices will be the same as last year, if you want a price list you can email me.

Warm Winter Wishes

Good morning!  It is hard to imagine that it is still morning, I have been up for so long.  I did three loads of laundry, fixed breakfast,  got the girls up and got them ready for school, took Sadie to school and Shelby to orthodontist, dropped Shelby off at her school, then Shelby's school called so I had to come back to school to sign her in since I forgot to call to say she would be late, as I was walking into Shelby's school Sadie's school called to say she had a headache, went home to get Tylenol and take it to Sadie at school.  It is only 10:00 and I feel like I need a nap but I guess I will have to settle for lots of caffeine.

I know, you came to see a project.... this is one of the cards we did last week in Punch class.  I saw a version of the hat on Pinterest but I guess I didn't pin it because I couldn't find it to link back to it.  It is made with the cuff from the stocking punch and the oval punch.    

Snow Festival

 

Good Monday morning!  Have you paid close attention to the Snow Festival DSP in the Holiday Mini?  I hadn't and to be honest it was not one that really appealed to me but I pulled it out determined to make something.  There is one sheet that is divided into 12 blocks with a different scene on each block so I cut it all apart and made some tags and they turned out so cute.  On the back of each one I added a 3x3 piece of card stock and stamped To and From.

 

 

I also made this very CAS Christmas card.  I have  my biggest craft show of the year coming up in November so I made lots of these.  Thanks for stopping by!
