Blue Stampin’ Up! Ribbon Tree
I pulled out some more ribbons, mostly retired, to get to work on some more little trees. I love these in blue . . . . . . don't you? Naturally, when my children saw them they informed me that they'd never seen a blue tree. I told them about Blue Spruce and said that's close enough! I love these because they can be on display all winter long! How cute would they be displayed on top of a silver table runner or beside a silver picture frame displaying a snowy scene or . . . I can picture so many cute ideas! Thank you for all your lovely comments yesterday! I am going to try to Continue reading
A Few Craft Fair Pictures
Have you missed me? No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but I've had a cold and decided to take a couple days off from blogging. I'm back briefly today, to show you a few pictures of items I had laying out at the Craft Fair I did on Saturday. Some little Thanksgiving treats. There was a peppermint patty on the back of each little scallop circle in these cellophane bags. Of course I had to have some handmade Christmas Cards for sale, there were more lying on the table too . . . These little gift card holders were my best sellers at the fair. Who can resist Continue reading
Polka Dot Christmas Card
I don't normally think of polka dots for Christmas, but I saw a card someone else made and had to make my own version. I just love this card with Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Silver Glimmer Paper polka dots! Isn't it cute?! I love it! We made this card last evening in the Christmas Card class at the Mason Dixon Library in Stewartstown, PA. I can't believe we only have 2 more Christmas Card classes left this year! Have you attended? Do you want to? I hope you will! Christmas Card Classes at the Library When: Choose as many of the dates below to attend as you like – we’ll Continue reading
Season of Style Christmas Wreath

I am adding this wreath to the class list and I already have a couple signed up to make it. Would you like to join them? Check out the details below! I will also be offering this as a kit by mail, you can check those details too and then pay with the PayPal button. Season of Style Continue reading
The Challenge is On
I was given a little wooden votive box to decorate for a Door Prize at the SCA Silent Auction. (Now I have to tell you, this was a bit of a challenge for me. I actually used to own this box, and several more like it, they had to been given to me and I couldn't figure out what to do with them. So after having them for several years, I gave the boxes to one of the teachers at school . . . . and she ended up giving one back to me to decorate . . . . go figure!) Anyway, there is a little challenge going with those who decorate the boxes, the winner will get some SCA Bucks to use at the Continue reading
Poinsettia Gift Wrap 2013
We have such fun gift wrap to create in the Gift Wrapping class this year! I always wonder how I am going to come up with something new and better than what I created the year before. Somehow it has happened again this year, I'm excited about the boxes, bag, tags and bows we are making this year! This is one of the boxes we are making. Don't you love the poinsettia on here from the Joyful Christmas stamp set? I really wish you could see it in person, it's beautiful! Several of you are always commenting that things always look so much more lovely in person than they do in the Continue reading
A Cup of Coffee Gift Card Holder

You can join us in the Gift Card Giving Class and make one of these yourself for your own gift card giving!

Third Christmas Giftables Project
In the Christmas Giftables class attendees are able to choose 2 of the 3 projects to make (or you can make 2 of the same thing you want, that's been done too.) I'm a little late in showing you the third project but here it is! The third gift option is making this fun Cool Cabana box of stationary! You will make the box and 10 handmade cards like this to put inside (you don't have to stamp "thank you" on them, you can choose your sentiment(s).) Of course you'll get 10 envelopes to include in the box as well. Did you miss the other two options? You can make a cute little Continue reading
Scrap Ribbon Christmas Tree
Do you have scraps of ribbon hanging around your stamping area like I do? I have scraps, I have partial rolls of retired ribbon, I have wide ribbon and thin ribbon and . . . well, you get the idea. So, I pulled out some green ribbon and some red ribbon . . . . . . and turned it into a cute little Christmas Tree! Don't you love it? Now I just need to make a couple more Christmas trees and then find something to do with all the rest of the colors! Hmm. . . . I'm going to think on that one and see if I can come up with something . . . stay tuned in the future! Have a wonderful Continue reading
