My second project is for Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central and is a fun little  Holiday Treat Holder.  My sentiment for this project is also from the SSD Label Accents set from StampingScrapping.com.
The poinsettias are more of the ones that I made using the Cricut Dreams Come True Cartridge.


 
In case you missed the previous post....here's a short video demonstrating the way I made the poinsettia flowers.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend..and thanks so much for visiting!

Just one more day before Thanksgiving and I really wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving. We will be spending the day with our family and that is my absolute… favorite thing to do! The next day…I’ll be out at O dark thirty, listening to the Chipmunks sing All I Want for Christmas, while sipping a Peppermint Mocha….while playing bumper cars in a crowded shopping mall parking lot… :)

Our challenge at the Bildmalarna Blog is Christmas and this gave me the perfect opportunity to use my Mimosa with Stocking Cap along with a few more poinsettias. This time though, for my poinsettias, I used an svg. file from Penny at Penny Duncan Creations. Do yourself a huge favor and visit Penny’s blog. You will be amazed! Penny even has a wonderful video tutorial on how to make a poinsettia using her file.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I truly hope you

have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

EEK!

I feel like...a princess! Check this out! I made it to the big leagues! My craft room is on the most inspiring of all Craft Storage Blogs, Crafty Storage I spend a lot of time stalking this blog, so this is quite an honor for me! I tickled pink!!!

Are you one of those folks that

love this time of the year, or not?
I know I’m weird, but I love almost everything about it.  Of course, I love the music, and the decor and the wonderful memories, and the memories in the making,,,,but I even love hunting for parking spaces in crowded malls and long lines at Starbucks! Love it all!
Our challenge at Magnolia Lovers is to use a punch and guess what? I almost forgot to use a punch on this card. Geez…sometimes I worry about myself…

I chose the adorable Sneaky Tilda from the Magnolia Little Christmas Collection at StampingScrapping.com. This little girl reminds me so much of my baby girl and the way I used to do her hair… like she was Big Hair Barbie back in the 80’s. She was always the best dressed and coiffed kid in preschool. Someday… remind me to tell you about the time I sent her to elementary school for picture day… all dolled up from head to toe…except it wasn’t picture day… and everyone else was wearing their uniforms… like they were required to do…on days that weren’t picture day…
Yep, no Mom of the Year award that year.
I added three poinsettias, which I made using just a leaf from the Cricut, Dreams Come True Cartridge. After inking each leaf and curling them, I glued them onto a  punched 1/2 paper circle. How so you think they turned out?
Thanks so much for dropping by!

A Yellow and Black Challenge

on Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central. In an effort to not over complicate things…I took this challenge nice and easy. I cut a Carryall Svg on my Cricut, added a couple of layers and one of the sentiments from Stamping Scrapping, SSD Label Accents, cut it and matted it with Spellbinders Labels Four and Fourteen….and I was done! I will say this though…You know that tidy, neat,

everything in it’s place craft room? Well, every time I open my Cricut….it’s like a gaggle of three year olds came over to play. There is schtuff everywhere!  ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Another Christmas Card

I’m on a roll! At this rate, I feel fairly confident that I should easily be finished with my Christmas cards by…July.
IMG_0183-1 copy
The challenge this time around at Magnolia Stamp
Lovers is a fun sketch. I’ve used Sweet Tilda for my card. After coloring with Copics, I cut out the image with Spellbinders Label Fourteen and matted it with Labels Four. My sentiment is from the fantastic SSD Label Accents set. I think this stamp set might just be  newest obsession! I love that there is a sentiment and a frame for almost any occasion.
Ok, all you have to do is head over to the Magnolia Stamp Lover’s blog to check out the rest of the design team’s fabulous cards…and don’t forget to play along.
Thank so much for stopping by!

Seriously! There are only 51 days till the after Christmas Sales start? I’m just kiddin ya.

Seriously though….Christmas is NEXT month! I know…scary, huh? Don’t worry…I can email you my list if you want. :)

Our challenge at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central is ribbon, so I thought it would be the perfect time  to make my first Christmas Card for the season. I used the Tim Holtz Alterations Caged Bird Die for the Birdcage and the Bird. I adore this die…in fact, I used it to make tags for some of the storage boxes in my craft room. StampingScrapping.com currently has this die in stock, but I would hurry over, if you are at all interested in taking this little beauty home.

My sentiment is from the Label Accents set from StampingScrapping.com and   is one of the gorgeous stamps sets that Cindy personally designed to coordinate perfectly with Spellbinders  dies.  This one, in particular fits perfectly inside of the Labels 4 set.  The quality of these clear stamps are  THE BEST!

I hope I’ve inspired you to head over to SSCC to enter your ribbon card into the challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend!

Purple and More Purple…..

I have two challenge cards today…the first one is for the  Magnolia Stamp Lovers Purple and Black Challenge.
IMG_0102 copy
My image is Farewell Tilda  and I kept this one pretty simple, because I wanted a more elegant feel for this and the the Flocked Damask paper is so yummy!
I hope you be able to join us at Magnolia Stamp Lover’s for our Purple and Black Challenge.

Craft Room...Redo

Over the last few weeks, I've been redoing my craft room. The project all started with a Knock-off of the Bedford Project Table from Pottery Barn that Doug, my very talented son-in-law, built for me. In fact the desk that Doug built is even  better, since he trimmed the desk with beautiful moldings and gave me
two very large drawers, as well.  I am completely head over heels in love with my new desk....
and Doug's very special too! Thank you so much Doug!!!
I also must give credit to Ana White for her inspiration also! She has fantastic plans for all sort of amazing knock-offs! Doug ended up winging it, since he's a cabinet maker, but if you want to make your own....try Ana White....or...Doug could build one for you too! :)

I also purchased 4 Expedits from Ikea.
