Snowman Hershey Bar Wrappers

Hi everyone!

Here are some snowmen Hershey bar wrappers....aren't they so darn cute? I made these for the vendor fair & I love these little guys! Wouldn't you love to have one of these in your stocking, I know I would...I'm still a kid at heart!

This is not my idea, I saw the video tutorial created by Kerry here, so click on her name to see the video & get the wrapper digi from Laurie Furnell's blog...have fun creating these adorable snowmen.

I'm off to clean up my craft room (finally) since my guys made a mess on Thanksgiving day putting up rods & stuff on my wall. I need to finish up some gift card holders that I'm making for the vendor fair & don't have much time left, so I need to get off my butt!

Talk to you again tomorrow, thanks for stopping by & visiting me. Have a great day!

Thanksgiving Blessing Mix

Hi everyone!

Just a few pictures from Thanksgiving & the Blessing mix & table place cards I made for my family. The box/bag was made using SU fancy favor box die & the tutorial for the blessing mix came from Angie. I embossed this card stock (from Michael's) but this CS was not thick enough (too thin, it was coming apart at the scored lines & I didn't like the look, so I decided NOT to emboss it like Angie's. I have to remember to order some 12x12 CS from SU on my next order for these favor boxes. The place cards are made with a PTI die called "Placecard", it Coordinates With this set called: "Places, Please Mini Stamp Set".

I hope you all had a wonderful & Blessed Thanksgiving...we sure did. Marc finally got around to putting up my rods in my craft room (for my punches from Ikea) & the ink box for my inks on the wall. He & Dan put them up after we ate, now all I have to do is clean up the mess they made & organize how I want it to look. Well I'm off to finish washing clothes & then I'm going to watch some TV. Talk to you soon.

Candy Purses

Hi there Peeps!

I wanted to show you a few things I made awhile back that is not card related. I made about a dozen or so of these purses to give to all the girls who work with Jessica at the salon. They all loved it & were so happy that I thought to make something for all of them. They are all such amazing ladies & their all so great at what they do. I just wanted to show them all a little appreciation.

Anyway, these are so easy & it only takes one 6x6 piece of paper with a few strips for the handles & top of the purse. Frenchie has a great video tutorial on how to make these darling purses...click on her name & take a look. While your there, look around...she's an amazing crafter & has lots of video tutorials.


Candy purse or put a lip balm inside...this is so stinkin' cute! Click on the picture to make it bigger & get a better view.

Made a few of these flowers in Aqua (my favorite color) to put on my NEW PC bag. First time making a fabric flower. Not perfect but not too shabby, if I do say so myself.



The flower looks good but I wish it was fluffier (is that a word, or is my spelling off? lol) but I don't know how to make one. I think the name of the company is Thirty One (home party type vendor, Jessica had a book party). I had bought this bag thinking I would use it as my laptop bag...but my laptop is a little too heavy. I have since bought another bag, a rolling business laptop bag, (that will be a Christmas gift from hubby) & yes, I buy my own gifts for hubby to give me sometimes. When I travel I'll be able to roll it & not have to worry about sore shoulders from a heavy bag. I'll use this one now for other things.


Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by & visiting today!

Hello everyone!

Today I have a couple of teddy bear cards for you. Just a congrats to the new parents & sharing in their joy of expecting a new member to their family. Easy to color & I added some texture with my copic blender marker to make the fur look more real, I like how it came out.

Not much to say so it's a quick post. Thanks for stopping by & paying me a visit.

Fall Topiary

Hello peeps!

This is what I did Wednesday. Finally went to my favorite stamping store "Bella Art" for a one on one class with Sandy to learn how to make a topiary. It was so much fun & Sandy is a fabulous teacher. Thanks again Sandy! I made this one for Sarah (my DIL) & she loved it. I told her what I was going to make & asked her to pick a color (besides green, which is her fav) & she wanted to something in rust or pumpkin, since she had no Fall decorations. They had a green pot...so Sandy thought this would be great since Sarah loves green & she had the green moss to go along with it. I'm so happy with how beautiful it turned out & had fun making it too! We went over to Marc & Sarah's Friday night & she loved it. Now I have to make one for Jessica or else she'll disown me, hahaha!!! I think I'm going to make a few for the vendor fair at Jessica's salon on Dec. 1st.

Congratulations

Happy Friday Peeps!

Well good morning everyone, I'm so happy you dropped by to pay me a visit, you know I LOVE your company! I have baby cards for you today. I made these with the SU Top Note die & made it look like a baby's quilt. I did one of these as a birthday card in an earlier post & loved it so much I decided to do a few baby cards with the same design. By the way I made all these cards in August so I was still taking photos outside & taking full advantage of the sun. Ok I'm back on track, I added some squares of DP to a piece of cardstock, embossed that piece first & then cut it out using the top note die. Added a ribbon & sentiment to 2 mats & I was done. I sponged ink on the nestabilities banners while it was still in the die...I love the look of this technique on the banners, it gives it some added softness to the sentiment.

Well I finally went to Bella Art (local stamping store about 45 minutes from me)to make the topiary that I've been wanting to do for some time now & I'm so happy with it. It's beautiful, will be posting that sometime next week. Now I want to make more!

Well that's it for today. Happy stamping!










Have a great weekend everyone!
