Dasher is a favorite Christmas stamp! When I saw him used on a card similar to this, I knew we had to make one for the Christmas Card Class this Thursday evening. He's just too cute! We will be using a variety of different ribbons on this card in class. Here you see retired Riding Hood Red Striped Grosgrain but don't be surprised at the variety in class. I look forward to seeing how the variety of cards myself! It's time to make out your Stampin' Christmas Wish List! Follow the link to print off a wish list you can share with family and friends.

Beautiful Season Christmas Card
We will be making this beautiful Christmas card at the Christmas card class at the Mason Dixon library on Thursday evening. Isn't it beautiful? I love it! I know some people will think the bird on the holly branch stamp, from the Beautiful Season stamp set, needs colored but I think on this card, it is perfect as is. By leaving the image uncolored, it draws attention first to the image and then to the Merry Christmas in Cherry Cobbler. I hope you like this card as much as I do! Continue reading
Snow Much Fun Vintage Style
I had so much fun creating this card to demonstrate two of the techniques for Tech Club this past week. As I look at the photo now I'm just not sure it does the card justice. I may need to take a close-up picture another day to show you. The tall snowman from the Snow Much Fun stamp set is just right for this card! It's been a very busy weekend so I'll keep this short today. Have a wonderful Sunday! Continue reading
Frostwood Lodge Card Keeper
I'm happy to share this card keeper covered with the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series paper! I made this box for the Shrewsbury Christian Academy Silent Auction this weekend. I hope it is going to help bring in some good money for the school! The box itself isn't all there is to it. It is filled with 25 handmade Christmas cards! Hmmm, can I bid on my own donation?? You've seen the various cards inside the box, I put in one of each of the Christmas cards we made in the Christmas Card classes this year and then a few doubles. Here's a close up of the flowers on top of the box. Continue reading
Purple Snowman Christmas Card
It's hard to believe we only have 2 Christmas Card classes left! Wow! Where does the time fly? We will be making this at one of the last two Christmas card classes. By this time in the Christmas Card making, it's nice to have a card without the traditional Christmas colors. This card could just as easily be used for a birthday, thank you, thinking of you and so on during the early months, just change up the sentiment. Have a wonderful day! Continue reading

Mocha Morning Christmas Stocking
I'm so excited to share this beautiful stocking with you! I saw a similar stocking someone else made with the Mocha Morning DSP and I knew I had to make one (and all those attending the Gift Card Giving class will too!) Isn't it beautiful? I don't think I would have thought to use the Mocha Morning DSP myself. Adding in the Brushed Gold cardstock, an Antique Brad and Victoria Crochet Trim - ooh la la! If yesterday's SU! Beautiful Season gift box didn't convince you to join in the class, surely you can't resist today's share can you? Come and join us! We have afternoon and evening Continue reading

Stampin’ Up! Homemade Tags
Last evening I sat down to create with the Homemade stamp set. The school my children attend in Shrewsbury, PA has a Silent Auction coming up. The Kindergarten class is putting together a basket of of goodies for baking cakes. I'm afraid the only cakes I bake are out of a box . . . I included one of those but I'm not sure how exciting that is. . . I thought perhaps it would be fun for the winning bidder to have some fun tags to use with their baking creativity. Naturally I really couldn't know how many tags they will need, so I'm also including the stamp set and punch so they can make Continue reading
