I've been having fun making some more Christmas Ornaments with our Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP and Holiday Ornament framelit dies. Isn't this one beautiful? I love the swirlies in the paper along with the Snowflakes in the center and beautifully scripted "Merry Christmas" from the Greetings of the Season stamp set! This one is very similar with another design DSP from the same pack of paper. This time, I pulled out a little retired satin rosette I have left and put that in the center. I would love to have a whole tree of these type ornaments, wouldn't you? It would be so Continue reading
Another SU! Fabric Covered Box
I decided to tackle another box with some of my 99 cent Stampin' Up! fabric, some cotton ribbon, crochet trim and a couple brads from the Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware which is available on the Clearance Rack. I'm very pleased with how this one turned out! I found the Cotton Ribbon works wonderfully to top the edges of the box which is where I was having trouble with the first box. Here's another look at it. Yup, I'm thinking I might need to order some more of the clearance fabric! Imagine, I spent less than $0.66 on the fabric covering both the inside and outside of this box (ribbons Continue reading

Fabric Box, Single Stamps & Free Piercing Pack
I have so many things to share with you today but I couldn't skip out on sharing the project I made yesterday. I got this idea through Pinterest and wanted to use some of the fabric that's available right now for just 99 cents! I used the Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric to cover a cardboard box that originally held Stampin' Up! catalogs. Isn't it cute? I pulled out some of our retired jumbo eyelets and our new sweater trim for a handle. What do you think? I'm not perfectly pleased but with a little practice, I think I can do better. For the first try though, it turned out pretty Continue reading
Christmas 2012 Ornament Class
I've shared this ornament with you a couple times but I have yet to share the other two ornaments we are making in class. I don't suppose you would like to see those would you? Both of the other ornaments are smaller than the first but oh so cute! Those participating in class may make a variation of this ornament with a variety of paper designs. Its so lovely with the bronze button and linen thread bow in the middle! Here's the third ornament. This is such a cut little one, I love it! Our new snowflake die adds so much to these ornaments don't you think? I used one of our Continue reading

Another Handmade Christmas Wreath
Yesterday I created another Christmas Wreath. It's very much like the first but I couldn't resist sharing. This one is going to go to Shrewsbury Christian Academy for their Silent Auction in November. Do I hear a bid out there? I have had interest from several in taking my wreath class by mail. Yes! I have my first kit out in the mail with several more in the process. If you are interested, please just contact me for details on shipping and I'll send a PayPal invoice. Of course if you live close to Stewartstown, PA, I hope you will join us for class! Here are the details: Fall Continue reading
Fall Decor Stampin’ Up! Class
I have been having so much fun creating class projects we'll be making during our fall class schedule! I'm pretty sure some people would say I'm having way to much fun . . . but I just love my job! I can't help it! Doesn't this picture just burst with fun? The sparkle on that champagne glitter paper certainly does it! This is the beautiful candle ring we will be making in the Fall Decor class in October. We will make the actual ring in class with the flowers and leaves, but the class price does not include the candle and metal holder your see here. You can choose your own candle Continue reading
Plan to Make a Christmas Wreath!
Remember this fall wreath I shared with you last week? As promised, I have scheduled a class in October to make this wreath and/or a Christmas wreath! (My bets are that at least some of you will be making both!) I love the fall wreath but I'm even more excited about the Christmas version! Maybe because I just finished creating it? Don't you love it already? The colors are so beautiful! I guess you probably want to see the rest of it don't you? I'm so tempted to make you wait until tomorrow . . . . but I don't think I can wait to share it! Here it is! What do you think? Continue reading
Orchard Harvest Home Decor Wreath
I'm so excited about the new Orchard Harvest DSP. I wasn't excited when I saw it in the Holiday Catalog but seeing those lovely plaids and stripes in person - ohh la la! When I saw a wreath another demonstrator named Michelle made similar to this one, I immediately knew I needed to make one and we need to make even more in a class! I wish this picture did the wreath justice! The colors are so beautiful and full of fall color! The wreath is approximately 14 inches in diameter. I will be offering this wreath as a class in October. I am planning to have a Christmas version as well so Continue reading
Wedding Shower Invitations & Favors
I took some time yesterday to sit down and create some handmade bridal shower favors I've been wanting to create. I still love using the retired To Have and to Hold stamp set from several years back. It's a favorite! I used it recently on some Tea for Two packets I sold to someone and I wanted to pull it out again with black and white and a splash of Cherry Cobbler. Here's a close up of one of the packets with the bride and groom. It's hard to tell, but I used a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to color in the flowers in the bridal bouquet, the flower in her hair and the grooms Continue reading
