Season's Greetings (and a sneak!)

Hello friends!  Today I have two projects to share with you that I've made with kits from Paper Made Bakery.  First up is a tag I made with the November "Christmas Treats" kit.  Aren't those little gingerbread men cute?!
Can you believe we're already at the 11th day of Christmas?!  I sure can't!  I've sure had fun checking out all of the wonderful projects by the crafty ladies below and today is no exception!




 Next up I have a sneak peek of a card I made with December kit, "Sodas in SoHo!"  Head over to the PMB blog for the full reveal!

 Thanks so much for visiting today!

Happy Holidays

Hello friends!  Today I've got a card to share with you that is also featured over at The Craft's Meow blog today which is based on this month's sketch challenge!  Check out this great sketch from Nina -
For my card, I started out with some patterned papers and then stamped the tree from "Christmas Cheer" onto some cream cardstock, cut them out, and added some sequin "ornaments."  I stamped the "Happy Holidays" sentiment from the set onto the ledger paper and finished it off with some tassel trim.  Fun!
As you've been seeing for the past 10 days, I've been taking part in the "12 Days of Holiday Projects" where some crafty friends and I will be posting a holiday project a day for the 12 days of Christmas!  I can hardly believe there are only two more days - I've really loved seeing all of the holiday inspiration!  Here are the links to the blogs of others who are participating  -

Cards Magazine - December '12 Pubs

Hello friends!  This weekend has been so busy but lots of fun!  Last night I went over to a friend's holiday/tree-trimming party and really enjoyed it!  I finally got to meet her new kitty who is sooo cute!  Today my husband and I went to the farmer's market and got a wreath for our door.  We're waiting until tomorrow to get our tree because the lot was pretty picked over today.  I'm really looking forward to the smell of the tree in the house!!

Anyway, quick post today to share a couple of cards that you can find in the December issue of Cards Magazine!  The first one is a small card (about 3" square) that would be perfect for a gift tag or gift enclosure and the second one is an encouragement card that I had so much fun making with the little felt clouds!


Can you believe it is already the 9th??  I sure can't!  But, it is day 9 of our "12 Days of Holiday Projects" tour and I hope you've been enjoying what you're seeing out there!  Here are links to the other crafters participating!  I haven't been on the tour in a couple of days but can't wait to get out there to see what I've been missing!

Season's Greetings

Hello friends!  I hope your Saturday is starting off nicely!  Today I'm going to a tree-trimming party and am looking forward to an afternoon with some friends I haven't seen much lately but first I wanted to share this project with you!

Every Saturday, there is a new sketch at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge and this week we have this lovely sketch by Teresa -  

I immediately thought that shape on the left was a tree and remembered a pre-decorated gift bag I picked up at the hardware store, believe it or not.  We've been spending a lot of time at the hardware store since we moved into the house and they actually have a nice selection of Christmas decorations and other "stuff."  I found a couple of these gift bags that I thought I could gussy up so I picked a few up.

I stamped the label from Holiday Labels 14 and the sentiment and "to/from" on the tag from Very Vintage Christmas (the first set I ever bought from WMS!)  Pretty simple but effective, I think, and perfect to show for our "12 Days of Holiday Projects" project!  :)

Here is a list of other crafters taking part!  I hope you can swing by some of their blogs and see the holiday inspiration!  It's wonderful!


Supplies:  Stamps (WMS), Gift Bag (OSH), Cardstock - Poppy Parade (SU!), Select White (PTI), Ink - Poppy Parade, Basic Black (SU!), Sequins (Cartwrights), Ribbon (recycled)

Be Very Good

Hello friends!  Today is day 7 of the "12 Days of Holiday Projects" blog hop!  I hope you are enjoying the holiday inspiration - I sure am!

For this card, I started off with a green card base and covered it with a newspaper printed background paper.  I spritzed a kraft tag with some silver spray and stamped the sentiment on it and then tied the tag with some gingham ribbon.  I finished the card with a wonderful die cut of Santa with his big, long, Naughty or Nice list!  Cute!
Here are links to the other crafters taking part in this event!  I hope you have a chance to check them out!

Silent Night - PDCC 160

Hello friends!  Today marks the beginning of a brand new color story at The Play Date Cafe!  I just love the soft colors and can't wait to see what you make with them!
When I saw these colors, I immediately thought of the Holiday Style collection and the blue and cream snowflake paper!  I used that as a background and then added some crochet trim to the side and added a chipboard sticker and a little card from the collection that I gussied up with some Stickles.

Have fun with this one and link up by Tuesday for a chance to win a fabulous prize!!

Paper Crafts Magazine - Nov/Dec '12

Hello friends!  Today I have a little tag that I made that was recently published in the November/December issue of Paper Crafts Magazine!  I've been so busy unpacking and just getting used to everything after the move that I haven't had a chance to share this with you yet and I thought it would be perfect to share it now, for day 5 of the "12 Days of Holiday Projects" hop!

I started off with a kraft tag and stamped some little snowflakes in gold ink and the sentiment and then made the star of the tag a vintage postage stamp of Mary and the baby Jesus.  I added a couple of felt poinsettias with pearl centers to the tag and finished it with some red and gold ribbon and some gold twine.
I hope you have a chance to visit some of my other partners in crafty crime...
