Last evening we had our first Christmas Card class at the library for this year. We started off with some great cards! When I asked everyone which was their favorite, ever single card was mentioned by at least one person. Honestly, I'm not sure I can even pick a favorite from the evening, they were all fun to make! Here is one of the cards. Continue reading
Christmas Card Classes at the Library 2017
We start Christmas card classes at the Mason Dixon Public Library this week! I know it feels early, but trust me, if you get started now, you'll appreciate it as the holiday gets closer and life gets busier! Of course we're going to be using new stamps and papers and inks while occasionally pulling out items that were carried over from last year as well. Check out this card which we will be making in class this Thursday! Continue reading
Christmas Card Kick-Off Class
I am so excited about all the new Christmas goodies in the Holiday Catalog. I'm already having a great time creating! Some years it's taken a bit to get into the mode of making Christmas card, but I sat down the other morning and created 7 different cards in no time. Getting new stamps and dies has been a great inspiration! We're having a great time creating with new Christmas items in the Christmas Card Kick-Off Class! Check out this card which we are making in class! Continue reading

Did you know you can make mistletoe with the Christmas Pines stamp set? I'm not sure I would have thought of it personally, but after seeing several cards made with it, I figured we needed to make one for the Stamp of the Month class. Continue reading
Christmas Pines & Blessings
I haven't pulled out Always Artichoke as much this year, I'm not sure why, I like using it with Cherry Cobbler. I guess the stamp sets and DSP offered this year has lent themselves more to brighter colors. See what you think of this card with the Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke. Continue reading

Christmas Sparkle Treat Bags
Do you enjoy creating pretty, handmade packaging? I love wrapping up goodies in handmade packaging and giving them away! I probably enjoy that more than making cards. Of course, like most of us, I run out of time and energy sometimes, but I do enjoy it! Here is a fun bit of packaging we made at the Christmas Party. Continue reading
Snow Place Snowman Treats
We had such a fun time at the StampThat Christmas Party last evening! It was a smaller group than normal, but just as festive as always! Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take any pictures this year, not one . . . You'll just have to take my word on it, unless attendees want to chime in with comments. We didn't blindfold anyone for stamping this year, but we still had a creative game where everyone chose a stamp set (no knowing why) and then were given card supplies and had to use their stamp set to create a card with the supplies given. How fun to see the variety created! Here is Continue reading

Many of you know that I get together with a friend each Christmas so we can bake our Christmas cookies. It's a pretty big day and we tend to bake a LOT of cookies! Saturday was our day. We worked in the kitchen for about 9 hours. This year all the kids (6) chipped in to help as well. What a fun time! I thought you might like to see some pictures. Continue reading
