Purse Gift Card Holder

Hi peeps!

Hope you all had a great holiday. I love having my kids over any time but Christmas is my favorite time of the year, I'm like a BIG kid, I love seeing my kids open their gifts. I love the look on their faces when they open them, I think that's the best gift of all & warms my heart! OK enough of that...on to today's project.

I found this gift card holder on Angie's blog & on Dawn's blog & I just had to make one...well I actually made two but I will share the other one tomorrow. This is the one I made for Sarah & she loved it. At first she didn't realize it opened up & when she opened it she got an unexpected surprise! She was so funny.

Until tomorrow...thanks for stopping by I hope you have a great day!


I luv how this came out, it's so darn cute!

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to pop in to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! My kids are on their way here so I figured now was a good time to post. Have a great time & enjoy your family & friends today. Be back in a few days.

I wanted to share my Christmas table with you & show you what I made for every one's place setting.
I got this idea from Carolina she has a video on how to make these...aren't they so cute!!! The bottom cup holds carmel popcorn, the middle cup holds dove & Lindt chocolates & the hat holds a mint.


One snowman or girl for each place setting



3 Happy couples

Oops...I forgot to add the scarf to the necks...be right back!

More RAK's

Hello everyone!

Well we are bracing for that BIG storm, lots & lots of snow, I'll see a white landscape when I wake up in the morning (it's Saturday night around 9 PM, I just finished decorating the house) we are supposed to get around 15 to 20 inches right now but that could change by the time the storm gets here so I will let you know on Monday what we end up with, I just hope the electricity doesn't go out.

I put up the tree & decorations today & my plan is to wrap gifts all day today, so hopefully I can get to the rest of my Christmas cards & projects. I don't know about you but I feel Christmas really crept up on me this year or was it because I was sick & didn't feel like creating cause my energy was zapped by my cold & I fell so far behind but I'm not ready, I need at least 1 more week to get everything done. Next year I am going back to putting up my Christmas decorations the day before & after Thanksgiving! I haven't done that since the kids were in high school, then I slacked off 'cause they were older. I also need to start making Christmas cards during the year so I don't have to rush through making them. I may join in with Maria Bell & make one a week.

I recieved these awesome RAK's this week from Maria & Elena. Thank you so much ladies...I love them!

Well have a great day all & thanks for stopping by today! Keep warm & dry people!

RAK's from Friends

Look at this AWESOME card from my dear local friend Sandi (who moved 2 hours away :o( I miss you kiddo). Sandi stitches her images onto cards, such great talent! I don't think I would have the patience to do that. She does an amazing job, I really love this card Sandi & will cherish it forever! Thank you!

Skating Penguins!

Hello all!

This is a pre post. Another card I made this week, everyone who is a regular here at my blog knows how much I LOVE Penguins & so it would not be Christmas if I didn't at least make one Penguin card...so here it is! It was a simple & fast one too, hope you like it! I think I made these last year, oh well...maybe I'll start a tradition & make this one every year, by golly I like that idea!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Merry Christmas Glitter Tree

Hi everyone!

This post is pre posted since I'm away for a few days. This card I made last weekend & totally cased from Dawn, thanks sweetie! I love glitter & this fit the bill, also it was another fast & easy card...which I luv right now since I'm so far behind & need to make fast cards. If I get them done before Monday then maybe I can get a few projects done that I wanted to give the kids for Christmas, if not it will just have to wait till next Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed so that I can get it done this year because I've already held it off from last year, hehehe!!! Well have a great day & thanks for stopping by today!

Hello peeps!

Like my title? Well I made some cards that make my house look like it's snowing inside, these cards are sooooo sparkly, I luv it! I made 4 colors, the pictures just do not do them justice, I tried to capture the sparkle in the card stock but oh well take a peek & see for yourself! I saw this on Amy's blog using her stamp set & thought I could make these with my Snow Burst stamp set, I love how easy it was to make, for me it was crunch time & these were really fast & the results are spectacular!

I am busy making cards & things & trying to get caught up on everything, I still do not have my tree up yet....I know, I know, I looked at the calendar & nearly fainted when I realized that Christmas is next week...OMG! I don't even have my gifts wrapped either. I can't believe how late I am with everything this year, this has never happened to me before. Oh well, I'm not going to stress over it, ya right!
We are going away for 2 days tomorrow so I can't do anything till Saturday, you all know what I'll be doing this weekend...working hard to put up the decorations & wrap gifts, I'll be doing that till I'm finished & then I will work on my projects & what ever I can make before Christmas, so Santa may be a little late in getting the mail out this year, so please hang in there!

Now onto my cards, enjoy! Thanks for stopping by today & spending a little bit of your time with me, I really appreciate it! Have a great day!
