The cutest gift!


I received the cutest gift ever yesterday! Kim Roberts (a fantastic member of my downline!!) sent me this VERY thoughtful gift. It is a mini photo album of pictures of me and my trip to St. George Utah for Founder's Circle! I just love it. I have no idea how she got the pictures but I was just squealing with delight! The book is made from chipboard using the Top Note Bigz die cut and the Big Shot machine. The YUMMY paper is Bella Rose DSP. The stamp set is Bella Blossoms and was cut out and popped up! It went right into my purse so I can show it off to everyone!

Snowy White Chunky Glitter


Country Living Holiday Collection





Last night I just flopped down in front of the fire. (It is a REAL fire for those of you in JAX). Well real with a real fire log as opposed to gas. AND it was cold. So I needed a fire to get warm. I enjoyed sitting there with my hot apple cider and just enjoying my handmade ornaments. I made these using the Country Living Holiday Collection. These were really quick and easy to make and the kids really love them. They always like it when they are featured! This kit is available for a limited time. I am just so thrilled with all that comes in the kit. You won't want to miss out!

Pretties!


I often think of my Pretties Kit as my candy jar. I stamped the snowflake from Winter Post and one from Scandinavian Season (Winter Mini). I used Baja Breeze ink and my Silver Encore Pad. I also used my PRETTIES kit to glue on some of my white half-back pearls. I finished it off with a piece of Baja Breeze Ribbon. (Note: try not to drop your candle--it ends badly...)

Reindeer Fun!


I can't get enough of my Winter post stamp set. This candle is going to be so fun to give away! (I have made another one for myself of course..) We used the Holiday Treasures DSP and 5/8 Chocolate Chip Grosgrain and Chocolate Chip Classic ink to stamp the reindeer and the tag. How did we ever LIVE before we had the designer label punch! It makes such elegant yet easy tags! This is one of the gifts we made at this month's Santa's Secret Workshop.

Heard from the Heart

Here is an altered clipboard. I had to hide it from my daughter because she wanted to have it for herself. As you can imagine I had other plans for it :) I have had a lot of fun with the Rainbow Sherbet DSP. It is just so funky fresh and FUN! I used the Heard from the Heart stamp set on the Top Note Bigz Die cut. Then I layered it on a piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock and BAM a topper. Our large Cello bags sure do come in handy for these projects. They finish it off and give it a crisp polished look.

Naughty or Nice??



Here's my take on a bag of coal! I saw these black M&M's and I couldn't resist. I used a 2-4-6-8 box but cut it in half! Who wouldn't love a bag of M&M's?? I used the White Taffeta ribbon from my Country Living Holiday Collection Kit. That sure is the kit that keeps on giving! I keep finding more and more projects that use my yummy supplies. The new Large Oval punch was perfect for cutting a window into the box. The alphabet set here is ABC images. I used a white gel pen to make faux stitching and a white craft pad for the "coal".

Home "Alone"

This is a window into my world. When I leave for a workshop my husband and kids evidently go hog wild. I found lots of interesting pictures of the happenings in MY stamp room on MY camera when I returned home. Here are just 2 of my favorites... Notice the pictures are "self portraits" of one of my children... Oh, and Santa if you don't know our address-- you can find it below!
