Merry Christmas Lollies Wreath

My oldest daughters have an amazing teacher!! They are in JK and SK so therefore have the same teacher but they are on opposite days. I wanted to make something really special for her because she is such a blessing to our girls!!

Here is the first gift I made for her!

This wreath is made with our Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper, Card Stock, Simply Scored Tool, Embellishments and Ribbon all from Stampin' Up! Store bought items are: hot glue, hot glue gun and wooden wreath.

Hope you enjoy this project as much as I enjoyed making it!!

Susie

Merry Christmas!!!

I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!!

On to Christmas we go!!

I have been crazy busy in the last month. We moved into my mom's house while waiting for our house to be built. I've also been busy with my Christmas events.

Right now we have an Online Extravaganza over at www.stampinup.com. Click on Hot Deals to see what we have on sale. There are a lot of great deals. In just over a month our Holiday Mini Catalogue is done and the Occasions Mini Catalogue is coming out along with the Sale-a-bration. If there is anything you still want from the Holiday Mini, let me know.

Last Saturday I had a group of ladies attend my Christmas Advent Box event. Here are pics of the box.

Days 1-6 with a punched out snowflake lined with Pool Party marker and Dazzling Details added to make it sparkly.

Days 7-12 with a stamped stocking and punched out with the stocking punch.

Days 13-18 with a wreath made from a 1 3/4 circle and the small flowers from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. I added some basic jewels and a hemp twine bow.

Days 19-24 with a Contempo ornament stamped 5 times (4 of them are glued in pairs). I added basic jewels on this one as well.

Here you can see I created the drawers out of Stampin' Up! Matchbox die. The top opens as well to add a little gift for someone as well.

I'm sure you noticed that the top box rotates. This allows you to see the front of it with each side that you have facing out. On the top box, I used the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies for the Big Shot. I also used the basic rhinestones, the jingle bells and another snowflake.

Happy Weekend and Stampin'!

BOO! Scrapbook Page

This is the last craft we made at the Halloween craft night. And I apologize for the poor quality picture.
I can't wait to dress my daughters in their costumes. I will have to finish this scrapbook page once I have a picture of them dressed up and the journaling complete as well. The Rich Razzleberry square is for the picture and the Whisper White is for the journaling.

Here is a close up of the cute witch on her broom. It's interesting how many questions my older 2 daughters have about all the witches, ghost, and monsters they see during this occasion.

Grateful...

For the month of September we focused on the Thanksgiving/Fall theme. Fall is my favourite season of the year. I love all the leaves changing colours and I love a lawn full of fallen leaves.

On this card we used the Stampin' Pastels. I have to say this was my first time using them and I love the way this image looks. Other ways of colouring your images are the Stampin' Write Markers, Watercolour Wonder Crayons, Watercolour Pencils, and Blender Pen or Aqua Painter with our ink pads. Each way of colouring gives your image a different look.

Colour Challenge #11

...is Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, and Blushing Bride

Here is my card. I'm not really excited about it but I think this stamp set would be great for framed decor. But I'm going to try another way with it.

Technique Tip: To change the ink colour on part of a stamp, ink stamp with the first colour then take the blender pen and remove the ink from the area you want to change colour. Once all ink is removed, take the marker and apply ink to that area. This technique was used on the crib and sentiment.

Colour Challenge #7

It has been far to long since I've posted a colour challenge and I noticed that I had skipped challenge #7. I did make a card with this colour challenge but never posted it. So I will show that card but also my new card.

Today's colour challenge is: Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron

This Happy Birthday card was made using the Bliss stamp set which is no longer available.

I made this card using one of the new Hostess sets. One thing I love about Stampin' Up! is they come up with new ways of giving us free products. If you are familiar with the hostess program we provide then you will know that it has changed. Before July 1st, we had hostess levels which if you sell a certain amount of products you could get one item from the hostess level that you achieved. Now, you earn hostess dollars and all hostess sets are easy to achieve. For selling $200 in products, before taxes and shipping, you earn $35 in hostess dollars. With that you can get 2 stamp sets just for being a hostess!! Isn't that just GREAT!?!?

Now on to today's card list.
