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!
December Paper Pumpkin
Honestly, I debated whether or not I should even share the December Paper Pumpkin kit. It sold out way back in the middle of November and I know that was a disappointment to some who didn't get subscribed in time. But then I decided I should share it so that those of you that did subscribe in time get to see it assembled. December's kit is a mini calendar that comes with a pre-made box, perfect for gift giving. You can make the calendar … [Read more...] about December Paper Pumpkin

Downline Party
A week ago, I hosted our Downline Holiday Potluck. We had a such a fun time, but that's no surprise because we always do when we get together. These ladies are wonderful friends and I love that we have Stampin Up in common. For our party, I decorate my studio including putting up a gold tree with glass ornaments and lights. We've got to have something to put our presents under. After the business part of our Downline Meeting, we … [Read more...] about Downline Party
A Christmas Treasure
Shortly after I graduated College (a long, long time ago), I went to a Temp Agency looking for a full time job. I really had nothing specific that I wanted to do, but figured this was a great chance to try something new. Well, at my first assignment, they offered me a full time position and I accepted it. Little did I know at that time where that decision would take me. I met a really great group of ladies at this office. We all got … [Read more...] about A Christmas Treasure
Merry Wreath
A couple years ago, I made this stand to hold a small Spring wreath. And every year when the Holidays roll around, I think to myself "hey, I should make a Winter wreath". Well, I finally got around to it this year. The wood wreath is from a local craft store. I used the Sprig punch from the Holiday catalog to make all the greenery, using four different colors of green. The Sprig punch has been super popular and has been in and out of stock for … [Read more...] about Merry Wreath
November Paper Pumpkin
I will admit that when Paper Pumpkin was first released, the kits were ok. Not incredible, but definitely ok. Well, the kits have come a long way in the five years we've had them and I think this year has been the best collection of kits yet. Every month is better than the prior one. And the amount of supplies and projects you get is incredible for the cost, which is $19.95 per month including the shipping. November's Paper Pumpkin kit … [Read more...] about November Paper Pumpkin
November Thank You
The Spirited Snowman stamp set was one of those stamp sets that I just couldn’t wait to purchase, but never got around to using until now. I can’t believe these little cuties have been wasting away in my “to be used” pile for so long. I dug it out of my Holiday Catalog supplies and promised myself I would use it right away. And then it sat there another two weeks. Sheesh. Well, no more! I finally got around to using this adorable set and I’m … [Read more...] about November Thank You
