For more than ten years, I've been making ornaments for a group of girlfriends. It's become quite the tradition. I gift wrap them and give them out at our Christmas dinner. Here is this year's ornament. I love making these snow globe ornaments because I can add lots of layers and a sprinkling of snow. A few years ago I found the perfect stand to hold all of these handmade ornaments. Here's what they look like all together. After … [Read more...] about Christmas Ornament
September to December Mini Catalog
Book Boxes
One of the nicest things in the September-December Catalog is the Book Boxes treat boxes. These boxes come plain white and you can decorate them however you like. Here's mine decorated. You can also decorate the inside of the boxes too. The strap n the boxes come with a bit of adhesive on them but I wanted to be able to open and close my box. I added the snow globe on the front with pop dots. The strap then slides under the snow globe … [Read more...] about Book Boxes
Last Chance List is Here
Stampin Up has released the Last Chance List for the Mini Catalog. It's always a little sad when a Catalog is coming to a close and products are retiring. I'm always torn with being sad for all those fabulous products going away and excited for a new Catalog. Now that the Last Chance list is out, it's time to get those final few items that are still on my wish list. The List is a bit different this time around as it doesn't have the fancy … [Read more...] about Last Chance List is Here
Snowy Wonder
Have you started working on your Holiday cards? It's still early December so there is plenty of time to make your own cards and drop them in the mail. I love using our pattern paper to achieve a quick result. I could have used our stamps and dies to make the snow globe, but I used a cut-out from our paper instead. It saved a lot of time and the card is just as nice as if I'd stamped it. The Snowy Scenes Suite is a full Suite of products … [Read more...] about Snowy Wonder

All Your Days
I love creating Holiday home decor pieces. Every year, I get them out and place them around my home, remembering past times creating these goodies. Today's project is a shadowbox frame using that amazing reindeer die from the Reindeer Days Suite. The reindeer die has three different reindeers to cut out to achieve the full reindeer look. I've used this die for several projects and I haven't gotten tired of it yet. The reindeer is just … [Read more...] about All Your Days
Thinking Of You
Clean and simple are some of my favorite cards. And they can look so elegant. Start with a large amount of white space, add a bit of subtle coloring in the background, finish it off with a lovely stamped image and voila, an amazing card. This is my last sample for now of the Nests of Winter Suite. I hope you love the different projects and ideas. Check back on Wednesday for a new Suite of projects. Nests Of Winter Suite Collection … [Read more...] about Thinking Of You
