Happy Thanksgiving


I hope that today finds you surrounded by family and friends (and turkey!).  Today I wanted to share with you something I made to decorate my table during the month of November.  I found this tall vase and then filled it with sticks I took off a tree that was in my yard (don't feel bad for the tree......it was not hurt in the process as it's already dead).  Then I decorated the tree with acorns made from the Table Setting Bigz XL from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  Now just because fall is almost over, don't think that you don't need this die.  The "acorns" can also be turned into flowers!!  So if you haven't gotten this die yet make sure you do before the Holiday Mini Catalog expires on Jan. 4th. 

Supplies
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip Patterns DSP
Accessories: Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Hemp Twine, Big Shot, Table Setting Bigz XL Die

Baby Giraffe


Last week I went to a baby shower and this is the card that I included with my gift.  The wrapping paper was primary colors with animals on it, so I carried that theme onto the card.  I had to bust out my retired Wild About You (it is the best stamp set for a baby cards!) to keep the animal theme going.  I also busted out the Big Shot to add some texture to the circle pieces (not sure if you can see that in the picture). 

Embarrassing story time: I put the card on the gift, but totally left the inside blank!  I didn't write anything in it or sign my name.  I was so embarrassed, but I just blamed it on my pregnancy brain.

Supplies
Stamps: Wild About You, Short & Sweet, Contempo Alphabet
Ink: So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie
Paper: So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Accessories: Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Coluzzle, Big Shot, Stampin' Up! Backgrounds I Texturz Plates

Make Merry

These are the pages we'll be making tonight at scrapbook class. Because I won't be having a December class I decided to make Christmas pages this month. I wanted to use the Top Note die for a page element, so I stamped the wreath image on one and left the other blank for a journaling spot. And I also love to put a strip of paper across the two pages to tie them together, so I added some DSP across the bottom. The ribbon on the photo mats is adhered under them, so you can just slide your picture underneath it so you can still center the picture on the mat.

Supplies
Stamps: Berry Christmas, Just Perfect Alphabet
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Real Red, So Saffron
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, So Saffron, Whisper White, Merry Moments DSP
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note die, Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon

Jingle Plate

Here is another item that was up for bid at the last quarter auction. It's the medium Jingle All the Way Decor Element applied to a wooden plate that was painted white. The ribbon used to hang the plate is retired Alpine Ribbon Originals which is available while supplies last in the Clearance Rack section of my store. While you are over there to get that ribbon why not get a DE, too, and make something this cute to hang in your entry way this holiday season.

Top Note Christmas

The marathon of Christmas card making continues! I recently got the Top Note Die for the Big Shot (I know, I know, but better late than never!) so I had to try it out. I really didn't do anything original with it, though. I pretty much CASEd the sample from p. 20 of the Holiday Mini Catalog. But when you need to make a million Christmas cards they can't all be original, right?

Supplies
Stamps: Berry Christmas
Ink: Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Real Red, So Saffron
Paper: Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip Patterns DSP
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note Die, Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon

Tile Coasters

I created these tile coaster for the quarter auction last week and they went over really well. I picked the tiles up from the local home improvement store and applied the small Inspiration Decor Elements in Chocolate to them. To protect the surface they are used on I cut squares of cork, slightly smaller than the tiles, and adhered them to the backs of each tile with some heavy duty adhesive. I hope the winner of the coasters gets a lot of use out of them (and a lot of compliments).

Up and Running Soon

I got a new computer last week and am just getting my photo editing software installed, so I don't have any photos to share with you right now. I will get some new projects up here soon.

In the meantime I wanted to tell you that I got a sneak peek of some stuff to come and I think you are all going to be sooooo excited with what Stampin' Up! is going to be offering in the upcoming months. I can hardly contain myself. I wish I could share the details with you, but it'll have to wait.

These deals are so exciting that you might just want to go ahead and schedule your January workshop with me before my calendar fills up! Once you find out what is coming there's no doubt in my mind you'll want to be a hostess.

Dotted Wreath

I'm still chugging away on cards! Not all of my cards are going to be different, but I do like to have a bit of a variety. Unlike last year I am using different stamp sets this year. This is the stamp set I got at Regionals and it's definitely getting put to good use. The funny thing is is that this isn't the stamp set I would've ordered for myself from the Holiday Mini, but I'm liking it!

Supplies
Stamps: Berry Christmas
Ink: Garden Green, Real Red, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Garden Green, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Accessories: 1/2" Circle Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot, Stampin' Up! Backgrounds Texturz Plates

Halloween 2005

I'm trying to scrapbook some of my older pictures so I can finally put my book together! These are the second to last pictures of 2005 that needed scrapbooked. This was Oscar's first Halloween and he didn't really like his vampire costume, so this was the only (decent) picture of him in it. I really wanted to try my hand at some punch art, so I made the pumpkins using a few different punches. I think they turned out great. To give them a little dimension make sure to sponge the edges of each punched piece. To make the "grass" I just randomly snipped the top edge of some Old Olive cardstock and curled the pieces.

Supplies
Stamps: Contempo Alphabet, Short Order Numbers (retired)
Ink: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie
Paper: Basic Gray, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, Close to Cocoa
Accessories: Stampin' Sponges, Large Oval Punch, Small Oval Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Word Window Punch, Slot Punch, Paper Snips
Technique: Sponging, Punch Art

Christmas Ornaments

What's a girl to do when she can't sleep? Bust out the Stampin' Up! order that arrived yesterday and create something fantastic! That's exactly what I did this morning. I just got this Merry Moments Designer Series Paper, so I wanted to create something with that. Luckily I have these little round tins that were just screaming to be turned into ornaments! I cut circles from the DSP using my Coluzzle and adhered it inside the tins. I then filled them with that fake snow you buy at the craft store. I opted for the iridescent snow and I'm glad I did. It's so sparkly! I then put the lid on, wrapped them with a little ribbon and hung a tag from them. They came together so easily (tying the ribbon around them is the hard part) and turned out so cute!

Supplies
Stamps: Season of Joy, Berry Christmas, Tags So Much (retired)
Ink: Real Red, Old Olive, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Garden Green, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Merry Moments DSP
Accessories: Alpine Ribbon Originals (retired - on sale on the clearance rack), Silver cord, Linen Thread, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Small Tag Punch, Tag Punch, Crop-a-dile, snow

Great Dreams

This was one of the items that I took to last week's quarter auction. And I apologize for the picture, but it was really tricky to take a picture of it since it's shiny. It is the small, white Great Dreams Decor Element applied to a silver magnetic board. This will be a great addition to an office or craft room.
