Christmas Ideas 2008

Day 3-Holiday Extravaganza

Wow! This sale was extremely popular yesterday!!! Two of the bundles are no longer available! If you wanted the All in the Family Bundle or the Alpha-Betcha Need This Bundle….as of yesterday-they are gone! I guess people really love sales!

I hope those of you from the US has a terrific Thanksgiving!!! My husband was off yesterday and we did a lot of driving around & noticed that the radio stations have started their Christmas music. It was so cute to see my daughter sing along with the music. She really gets into it! We got some of our shopping done and also had to go the kid’s school for Parent-Teacher interviews. What a day! I’m just glad my kids got good remarks from their teacher’s. It’s always such a relief to hear they’re doing well!

For today’s card, I thought I’d show you a quick card we made at a recent class. It uses the Big Shot Small Envelope Template…and I think it’s an adorable size to place little notes!

Hope you’re having a terrific day…my kids are off school for a PD day…so it’ll be a busy day for me!

If you’ve been waiting to place an order…make sure you check out the SALES FLYER and the PICTURES  and order soon as I’m sure more bundles will run out soon! 

You can  SHOP ONLINE or Email me with your order! 

See you tomorrow!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Card Idea #15-Scallop Christmas Trees

This is just about THE CUTEST CARD I’ve ever made. I shamelessly cased the card idea from Donna Henley and found the tutorial to make the trees in THIS NEWSLETTER. If you don’t own the scallop circle punch, you’ll definetely NEED it now!

Happy Stamping!

(I apologize for the lack of detail…but, I’m still trying to catch up with everyone sick here! I’ll have more fun stuff coming soon!)

p.s. Only 3 more days to….

My kids are sick…

so, it means not too much time to post! I have one home with nausea, the other home with a migraine and the baby is just getting over Roseola…but, was well enough to go to preschool. Do you ever have one of those weeks? It seems every week someone is sick here. I guess that’s what happens at this time of year.

Last night was my downline meeting and as always we had some great projects shared on our SHARE TABLE…I’ll post some of the shares this week for you to check out…I still haven’t had a chance to upload them from my camera. 

For now, I’ll leave you with a card we made at my last Christmas card class!

Hope you like it!

Santa Suit Directions

I’ve received many requests to get directions on how to create the santa suit from this post so I asked Linda where she found the directions.

You can find directions on Cambria Turnbow’s blog here.

Enjoy!

Isn’t this the cutest Santa Suit?

uggghhhh,  I typed up this whole great blog post and I just lost it.

This a adorable project is one that truly makes me happy to look at! It was created by Linda Palisek and shared at our last team meeting. I always love to see what Linda has to share! Maybe it’s just me, but, I really believe that STAMPING CAN IMPROVE YOUR MOOD! Do you agree? I think I’ve found the cure for sadness. lol

This project was created using the Big Shot Top Note die and just in case you can’t see from the picture-it’s a holder! You can use it to hold candies, a small gift or even some small note cards for someone special! The ribbon is the Stampin’ Up! black gingham ribbon dyed with ink. This can be a messy process so make sure you use gloves or a paper to hold down your ribbon on the ink pad while you rub it on.

Edited to add:
I’ve had 2 comments about different way’s to dye your ribbon…
The first was from Linda (who actually made this project), she said she used a marker to colour it….this is a great idea and a much less messy way!
The second was from Ann who said: "To try to minimize the mess, I place ribbon on the inkpad and then use a sponge dauber to hold it down while I slowly tug on one end to drag the ribbon through the pad. Fingers are only a little bit messy this way. Cheers, Ann"

Thanks ladies for the great tips!

You can to admit…it does make you happy-right?!

Now…go stamp something CUTE!!!
