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!!

Merry Christmas!!!

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'!

Christmas Cards



Here are a few Christmas cards that I made this year for family & friends. These cards are all made using Stampin' Up! products. If there is a card that you are interested in knowing more about send me a comment on this post. If there are any products that you are interested in purchasing just go to my Stampin' Up! website.

 This pink & brown card is done by stamping the images with versamark and sprinkling clear embossing powder to them, then heating the image with the heat tool. After, adding Chocolate Chip & Regal Rose classic ink with a sponge to the cardstock.

 This is the front of the card. The 2 pictures below is the inside of the card.
