Ribbon Share Club


I have recently started to offer ribbon share club. This is where you choose a ribbon grouping to share with others. I cut it into the shared yardage and wrap it all nice and neat to deliver to your door :-) It is a great way to have a variety of ribbon on hand without buying full rolls of it.

If your interested in participating in this, please let me know. There are four different groups to choose from.

Misty's Cake




We always have a project exchange outside of club and our theme this month was Birthday! I was the lucky winner of this adorable creation that Misty made. She even wrapped a real candle in double sided paper :-)

Coaster Ornament


Everytime we are at a restaurant that gives you the little cardboard coasters, I collect them! Here is what Stamp Club made on Monday night. I love the new Ski Slope paper from the Holiday mini catalog and the felt snowflakes are awesome!

Sage Christmas
















I RARELY use Sage Shadow or Handsome Hunter, much less Grey ribbon, so I decided to create something out of my comfort zone for Stamp Club's card project tonight.
I like how it turned out!

Big Shot Envelope Box




Wow, where is the time going? I tried to make sure I posted every day, but it seems this week has gotten away from me.




Here is a box I made using the BIG SHOT die cutting machine. It uses the envelope die cut and goes together in under 15 minutes, start to finish!




I added a distressed look to it and wrapped Hershey nuggets in Designer series paper.




Enjoy!

Definition of a Boy!


I just finished painting my family room and wanted to create an artwork displaying my boys'. I came upon this vinyl rub on at Kohl's and couldn't resist purchasing it. This describes our house to a T!!! I have had the large initial wooden letters for quite sometime and I knew exactly what I FINALLY wanted to do with them :-) I need to add more images, but for now, I like how they turned out. I printed them off my computer and Mod Podged over all of it to adhere the images to the painted wood.


This puts a smile on my face everytime I walk downstairs!


(I painted the letters the same contrasting color as one wall in my family room. It really tied it all together)

Cocoa Cups Holder







I found this ADORABLE template from Lauren Meader. She is a marvelous paper crafter! I am giving this to my friend Debbie for her birthday. It was in September, but since I will be shipping it to Toronto, I might as well just send it with Christmas presents now, right?






This would be so cute with chicken soup packages, or hot cocoa/coffee or even some fun "adult" drink theme.
I can't wait to make more of these and if you wanted, you could easily just make one box, rather than putting two of them together, making the carrier.

STOCKING STUFFER'S!


ARE THESE STOCKINGS ADORABLE, OR WHAT? I FOUND THE FREE DOWNLOAD THROUGH "MY TEMPLATES". I LOVE LAUREN'S DESIGNS AND CAN'T WAIT TO PURCHASE MORE OF HER DESIGNS.


THESE WOULD BE PERFECT FOR TEACHER'S, CO-WORKERS, CHILDCARE PROVIDERS AND MORE. THE BOX INSIDE THE STOCKING IS THREE INCHES HIGH AND 2 1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER, SO THEY CAN HOLD A GOOD AMOUNT OF CANDY, BODYCARE PRODUCTS, GIFT CARD AND MORE.


MY STAMP CLUB LADIES WILL BE MAKING THESE AT STAMP CLUB THIS MONTH!


(NOTE: THE CARDSTOCK AND DESIGNER PAPER USED ON THIS STOCKING ARE RETIRED AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ORDER)

Home Decor'

I haven't been able to post or create too much lately. I have been painting my entire downstairs and raising three little boy angels :-) But, I did want to show you the vinyl rub on's that I have been falling in love with! Both of these were put on in less than 30 minutes. I purchased the "weeds" from Stampin' Up and the saying was on sale at Michael's. Stampin' up has some awesome sets for kids' rooms and they all come in various color options.
