Waiting for Santa & Sweet Season Tag Mini

We had so much fun at the snow and dinner and I just had to create a tag mini right away. Its so nice to live only an hour away from Tahoe. Our girls had such a blast playing with the snow that they didn't want to go home. heehee We were all craving steak for dinner and ate at Cattlemens. Wow, talk about huge steak. LOL!!! We had so much fun. Thank you daddy for a wonderful time!

Christmas Dress Cookie Favor

I just love when my girls where their Christmas dresses. I wanted to make a favor of a Christmas Dress with their favorite cookie. I used the K & and Company Yuletide Collection, StampinUp! Cello Bags and red sheer ribbon from Michaels. You can use this favor for many occasions. This would be fun for Easter, Birthday Tea Party and so much more. This was so fun to make.

2011 Calendar Layout

I wanted to create a calendar that you can use for more than just one year. Tim Holtz Seasonal Collection was the perfect collection because he designed the papers with all the holidays. I just love the Vintage look of the design papers and this makes a beautiful gift for any occasion. I plan on adhering my next calendar on a 12x12 canvas. This will make it much easier for hanging and would look beautiful displayed on the wall in your craft room.

Altered Case with Accordion Photo Stand

I would always pass up the playing cards every time I went to Dollar bins at Michaels. But when I went yesterday, I kept looking at it and really liked the case. I also found another playing cards case and purchased that too. I always love to keep my scraps especially when the papers are so beautiful. It would just be a waste to throw it away. I really love the Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime Collection and knew I just had to make something. My girls always take Spring pictures at school and thought right away to use the "Springtime" sentiment and make an accordion photo stand for the inside. This makes a great gift for Grandpa and Grandma. I just love that you can make a ton of different projects with this clear case. I'm really happy how it turned out and can't wait to make more. These also make fun gifts to give for Christmas or any occasion.

3 Mini Albums using the Sizzix Petal Card Die

I always love to see what I can create using my Sizzix dies. I love that you can create 3 different mini albums using just the Sizzix Petal Card die. The Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime and Tim Holtz Seasonal Collection are just gorgeous. I really had fun making these today and look forward to making many more.

I was thrilled when Carlene invited me to be a Guest Designer for December. Carlene had sent me this beautiful Jovial Christmas kit and I just love Basic Grey. Be sure to check out her video on the Jovial kit and stop by her Boutique. Thank you again Carlene for this wonderful opportunity!
