Joyous Candies

Joyous Celebration Stamp Set

I gussied up this little clear box with the reindeer from the new Joyous Celebration set.  The boxes are filled with Milk Chocolate salted caramels.  You can find the boxes online HERE .  I cut the Candlelight Christmas Designer Paper 2 1/2 x 6 and then punched with the Large oval punch out of the center so you can see those yummy candies.   Stamp and then hand cut out the reindeer and add the red pom pom nose.  Would even be cute with a red rhinestone nose!  I just used what I had on hand.

So Much Cuteness!

Well happy friday!  are you looking easy ways to package up some goodies for the holidays?  It's your lucky day!  I have a few to share with you.  This weekend while shopping I came across these cute gift card holders at American Eagle that the cashier so graciously gave me a "few".  I knew right away that they were stamp worthy, so I brought them home and dressed them up with the new, No Peeking stamp set.  They hold  two of the Ghirardelli Peppermint squares,  and a gift card.

Holiday Perfect Pennants

I wanted to share a fun way to decorate with the ever popular pennants we see everywhere.  I  purchased a strand of 100 mini string Christmas lights.   I took our Stampin Up! Big Shot Pennant die and a package of our Be of Good Cheer Designer Series paper and cut out  18 pennants with the double sided paper.  To hold them onto the string of lights I used the mini wooden clothes pins. That way once the holiday is over you can just unhook them and save them for next year.   You can see in the above photo that I draped them across the room.  It is hard to see, but it turned out really cute!

Here''s what it looks like a bit closer up

here you can see how close I attached them.....

Accessoires- mini wooden clothespins, Big Shot Perfect Pennant die # 123126 , Mini Christmas Lights 100,

Seattle Holiday Style

We spent  last night in downtown Seattle taking in the Macy's  after Thanksgiving parade and all the  festivities.  We visited the Teddy Bear room at the Farimont, rode the Holiday Carousel and checked out the incrediable gingerbread houses at the Shearaton.  The theme this year was Disney princesses. Above was Beauty and the Beast.  Our local Architect firms build these amazing houses each year and each year they just keep getting better!.

This one is Narnia

Alice in Wonderland

Cinderella's castle

Santa comes to town!

Snowfall at Pacific Place

A visit with Santa

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Here are the cute little candies that I made up for my Thanksgiving table.  I took two sea salted milk chocolate caramels and wrapped them in cellophane and tied them off with our Linen Thread.  I used the new Autumn Accents Big Shot Die and cut out the cute little acorn that I then ran through the embossing folder called Square Lattice.  I made it two toned then added the "For You' pennant.

I love my Glassybaby candles for table decor,  they are amazing and so beautiful!
