All Decked Out

Here is a card I got to make today during naptime, The paper is Mitten Weather from Cosmo, and the SS is All Decked Out from CTMH. I got that fabulous punch from MS at Michaels today that I used on the bottom of the card and that lovely sparkly purple ribbon. I punched the snowflakes out of the paper with the MS snowflake punch and added the little purple buttons. I also added glitz glue to all the snowflakes for added sparkle and liquid glass on the snowman nose but it is hard to see in the picture. Hopefully later today I will be able to post all the stuff from my craft fair yesterday, but for now this is it!

A pretty girl reindeer-Clarice perhaps?

Oh how cute, can you guess what the title "Clarice perhaps" is referring too? I just love this paper from Basic Grey it's last years line but I love it! So that's what I used for this card, my little girl reindeer was just cut out from one of the papers, I added a little Glitz glue(CTMH) on her eyelashes and spots and a sparkle on her nose! A satin bow, a button, a stick pin and some white sassy strands complete the arrangement on the side. A couple snowflakes from the MS snowflake punch, some blue sparkles(CTMH) and voila another card for the stash! Hopefully after my craft fair this weekend I will get back to posting more regularly. Have a great night!

Everlasting Life

A quick post to share a card I made last night using CTMH'S Everlasting Life and Let Us Adore Him stamp sets and paper from I have no idea-sorry, the pretty gold ribbon is from Offray and all the Opaques(pearls) are from CTMH. I also wanted to share a couple cone gift bags I decorated for my upcoming vendor fair this weekend, I packaged hot cocoa and mini marshmellows and made little tags for them, they would make the cutest little stocking stuffers or teacher gifts!

A color challenge for H2H

It's Monday again already, where does the time go? The challenge this week at H2H challenges is to use 3 colors, Sunset, Brown Bag, and Indian Corn Blue. I must admit I was at first stumped- hence why it's called a challenge, but in the end I really like it! All you have to do to play along is make any project using these 3 colors and mostly CTMH products, then head on over to the H2H blog and link it up! I made a simple tag, that would look great added to a gift bag, I used only cardstock on this tag, and the amazing November SOTM-A Little Thanks and A Sip stamp sets. I made the flower using Sunset added some pearls and finished it off with twill and Sunset ribbon, as Sunset button and natural hemp. I also used three punches on this tag, corner punch and tab punch from SU and border punh from MS. I can't wait to see what you can come up with!

A recycled take out container

I decided to use this recycled pie holder as a Christmas container! I thought it would be perfect for cookies or fudge for the mailman or a neighbor this Christmas. It probably took about 5 minutes to make! The patterned paper is from SEI the ss is Everlasting Life from CTMH, flourish is from ZVA and the gold bunch of stuff is a $1.00 Christmas pick from Wal-mart and the beautiful ribbon is from Offray, which by the way I have since fixed and fluffed the ribbon. Simple, inexpensive and can be filled with some homemade goodness!

Some fun flowers

I promise you I have been creating lately, just no time for posting. Today was my Christmas card workshop, what a great time and a great group of ladies! Here is a picture of some flowers I have been making, so fun, and so customizable. There are different tutorials all over blogland for these things just google it and be amazed!

Happy Halloween-H2H Challenge

It's Monday again and time for another H2H challenge, this week we are asking you to make something for Halloween or something with pumpkins. After you create your project using mostly CTMH products just go to the H2H blog and add your creation, you are also going to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this week. I decided to use a recycled "Dinosaur" barbeque sauce bottle and fill it with candy corn. I don't really have any Halloween stamps or paper so I used the "You Rock" paper which worked perfectly and the "Who Loves Ya", "Tasty Treats", and "Holiday Hoopla". I also used multiple sizes of Nestabilities dies and I used MFT'S fresh cut grass die to cut the grass out of felt. I added the little googly eyes for fun and I used twill ribbon a button and black hemp. Who knew it could be so fun to recycle? I think I save every container from everthing I get just in case!
