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.....

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!

Click HERE to order onlineNow look at this new product!  It's the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine!    $39.95 - # 132700

Due to our partnership with Sizzix, we are pleased to be able to offer a test run of the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine in our North American markets. We have 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last. If this product test goes well, we may offer the Texture Boutique again in the future.

The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut. Because this is a product test, the Texture Boutique is not branded with the Stampin' Up! logo. It comes in Sizzix packaging and is the same color and design that is sold in stores. We recommend you read the included instructions before using the Texture Boutique and that you pass the same recommendation on to customers who purchase it.

Tis the season of giving, and the Texture Boutique makes a wonderful gift for anyone who wants to create their own elegant embossed art. To help you with your gift-giving needs, we're offering a special value bundle that saves you $5.90. If you prefer, you can also purchase the Texture Boutique alone. Looking for stocking stuffers? Pick up some additional embossing folders.
