A friend gave me the idea for this cute little Christmas treat holder when I was away on my RAD trip. I knew right away we would be making them at the Stampin' Christmas Party! They're so simple and fun to make! Of course we had to put some yummy chocolate inside! These would make great party favors or treats for children to hand out in their class. I could see a big basket of these sitting in the teacher's lounge at a school too as a little extra thank you! I would appreciate your continued prayers for my husband. We are to return to the doctor this afternoon for a painful Continue reading
Scrapbook In A Day Peek
Isn't this scrapbook beautiful? This is a peek at the Cherry Cobbler 6x6 scrapbook we will be filling in the Scrapbook In A Day class in January. We're going to have so much fun! Here's one of the layouts. We will create pages to fill the entire book during the class and I anticipate it will take 2 hours or less to complete them, minus the pictures. Who can pass that up? The class is after Christmas so you can use your pictures from this Christmas or you could use pictures from over the years. If you would like to join us, here's the class information: 6x6 Scrapbook in a Continue reading
Lattice Die Ornament Tutorial
I had a lot of requests for a tutorial for this Christmas Ornament using the Lattice Die. It's taken me a while but since I'm away for 4 days of stamping fun, I thought I'd go ahead and get this done while I'm here. So, let's get started! You need to begin with four of the Lattice Dies. This is a Stampin' Up! exclusive die. You're going to begin with folding your die cut in half. Unfold it and fold in half again the other direction. You have four more folds to do. I have drawn lines here that will hopefully help you. I found the easiest way to fold these diagonal Continue reading
SU! Pennant Parade Christmas Card
This is another of the cards we will be making in the Christmas Card Class on Tuesday, December 6. Aren't you surprised to know what cards we're making so early? Well, there is still one I'm trying to decide on, but you know more than you usually do at this point! Yet again, I must confess, I used another person's idea. I'm afraid when I'm in a hurry that often happens. But hey, when there's already a great idea out there, might as well use it! I'm headed off for my 4 days of stamping fun today! I hope to be able to share fun pictures with you before long! Thank you for stopping Continue reading

Handmade Swirly Christmas Ornament
Last week I had to ask some Christmas Card Class members to switch over to an overflow class on another night. Those who did so were able to make this lovely Christmas ornament after their cards as a little thank you. Isn't it lovely? As you know, I'm a sucker for swirlies! I saw an ornament like this on another blog This swirly is made from Brushed Gold cardstock and Champagne Glass Glitter. This ornament is so cute hanging from a wrapped package or gift bag too! I wrapped a gift in a dark green wrapping paper with some gold ribbon and then hung an ornament like this from the bow. Continue reading
