Now that Christmas is over, I'll get busy sharing all the new things coming in the 2019 Occasions Catalog and Sale-abration Catalog. But before I start doing that... I have one last Holiday card to share with you. Some stamp sets just turn out to be very easy to work with. It seems like every time you get it out, the ideas just flow. The Winter Woods stamp set turned out to be a fast favorite this year. I've used that tree on so many … [Read more...] about One more for the road…
Christmas & Holiday Cards
Happy Christmas Eve!
If you're like me, you're probably still trying to finish up the last of the Christmas tasks and finish getting your gifts wrapped. So I will keep today's post short. If you're looking for one more idea for gift tags, you may already have something in your stash that you can use. This tag uses the Christmas Bulb Builder punch to make a Christmas tree. I trimmed down the top part of the bulb holder to make it look more like a tree trunk. … [Read more...] about Happy Christmas Eve!

Candy Cane Season
Last night was our monthly Downline Meeting. These are always a ton of fun and lots of laughs.

I’m still playing catch-up in the Craft Studio, so my swap for this … [Read more...] about Candy Cane Season
Our Downline Holiday Party
Last night was our December Downline meeting. We always have such a great time at our meetings. I really look forward to them each month. I wanted to give them each something special to show my appreciation for them. I gave each one a Stampin Up Clear Block engraved with their name. They turned out amazing. I should have taken pictures of the blocks before I wrapped them. Their blocks all say "Hand made by" with their name. This is … [Read more...] about Our Downline Holiday Party
