Valentine's Box.....

This is a fun way to give some treats to that someone special. I found this box template on line. It has a transparency lid. Fill up your tins with some cute candies and you have an adorable gift box.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

It is a winter wonderland here! We are having unusual snow fall and loving it! I feel like we are in the mountains! I took these pictures right outside my window! Hope you are warm and toasty where you are! Happy Holidays! :)

Monkey business......

I was monkeyin' around last night, no lion! And came up with these little monkey and Lion treat bags made from the scallop die from SU! They are made with fun foam, glued together at the seams and decorated. I attached wire at the top to hang them.

Bella Banner

Christmas Bella Banner.... I was able to go to the fabric store and find fabric

that looks like SU! Bella Rose paper! So exciting! So I came home and transformed it into this sweet banner. I added a touch at the bottom with

the teardrop beads from the pretties kit. The banner is made from Pennant

die from SU!

All the little birdie's go tweet, tweet tweet!

Here is what I did today since the ground was to be covered in a blanket of snow..... This bird it tooo cute, I purchased them from (of course!) the dollar store. They come completely
white but I had to dress her up!
The box is a 2-4-6-8 box. Very easy......

Been biten by the love bug!

Here is a cute little bag I put together

with the new Love you much set.

I will be posting quite a few things

Sorry for the crummy photos gals!

Love is in the air......

Okay I know it is December but I recieved my Valentine paper and stamps yesterday and had to make a banner! You can see at the bottom of

the pennant I attached a tear drop bead

from the pretties kit........

More decorating......

Love, Love Love, to decorate! Comes from my display days at Nordy's.
This is my powder room, you can't leave a room untouch from decorations!

More decorating.......

Boyd's bear and other cute little tid bits.

Box and Luggage tag

Pretty Packaging......

Cute packaging, The gingham peppermint holder is made with a 4 1/2 by 5/1/2 piece of red riding hood paper, I then cut the gingham out to fit and sewed it up tied ribbon and added some pretties kit accessories and the candy sticks. The other is a

tin of homemade hot chocolate packaged simply with ribbon and felt

snowflakes and rhinestone brads........

Naughty or Nice!!!

I litereally slapped this on the wall in no time right above the mantle and stockings, it is a wall vinyl by Uppercase living......

Deck the halls, walls and windows!!

Been getting all the trimmings on the tree and decorations around the house. Here are the

metal tin snowflakes I hung from the ceiling around the top of the of the tree......

Christmas cards..........

Here are some quick easy cards to make using the Sahara sand, Baja Breeze and Red Riding Hood colors.

The middle card is made with acetate which you stamp with the white staz on pad......... Have a great day! :)

Getting Ready for Christmas......

I am sooo excited it's the holiday season! Put a few things out today, love to mix things up a bit, a rabbit here, a bear there, pointsettia's, artichokes. It's fun to take things from around the house to decorate with..........

I love how this turned out! It looks like wood but is actually canvas. I went to the local craft store and bought and 18 x 18 canvas and then 9 smaller 4x 4 in ones and painted them with latex oatmeal colored paint, let dry and then dry brushed some burnt
umber on top of the oatmeal and clued the canvas together and added a
vinyl flourish and photos of my girlies!

Kirstin this ones for you! Here are the cutest metal buckets from Target.

My love of vintage images is showing again! Hope you like it!

Ornaments and cards

Here are some quick ornaments and

christmas notes to make. I LOVE anything Vintage, so the SU! Winter Post stamp set is getting alot of over

time use!

Molbak's! Gotta love this place! It's all decorated for Christmas and has many photo op spots for perfect holiday pictures! Not to mention hundreds of Pointsettia's!

Top Note Box

Love, Love Love these Top Note Die boxes! I made one to look like a birdhouse and will fill it with seeds. The other is filled with hard candies.
I found the directions for this box on remarkablecreations.com, go there and get complete instructions on the how to's.

Snowflakes

It's snowing!!! .....
soon I hope!
Anywho, check out these so sweet snowflakes! SU! Demonstrator Karen Harper shared this idea with me and I love it!
These snowlfakes come in packages of 10 and can be found at the dollar store. I used the scallop punch and 1 3/8 & 1 1/4 punch to create them, and course a little glitter and rhinestones! et it snow! Let it snow!

Christmas Cards

This is a fun easy way of giving greeting cards as a gift. I bought a $1.00 placemat and measured it at 6 inches in on each side then sewed the
sides up. Made some cute Christmas
cards to tuck in the pockets as well as
envelopes and attached ribbon and a tag with rub ons and there you have it!
Have fun sewing!

Christmas Note Pads!

These are sooo cute and easy to make. They are made with Fun Foam paper and cardstock. You do need the Large Scallop Die and smaller scallop

die in order to create the pattern. Have fun!!!

Inexpensive Gift Idea

Good Morning! Here is a great gift idea. Again the Dollar store, they carry these cans with the Old Fashion ribbon candy in them. (you could use peanut cans or what have you as well. I just covered it with DSP and added a tag and it makes a great inexpensive gift! Have fun!

Santa Candy Canes!!

Okay! Here I am finally with a post!

No, my camera is not fixed am still

waiting to purchase one, but here goes!

I LOVE the dollar tree and so in my findings there last week they have these huge candy canes that are 2 for $1.00!! Yeah! So, I brought them home

and used the top note die cut and made these cute santas. As you can see I used 3 top notes, one blush blossom, real red and one white then just packaged them up to give to that charming someone! Enjoy! You can go to my main page and purchase the

tutorial for $3.95.
