I was trying to come up with a cute little treat to give to my Stamp club ladies last month and this is what I made. I just love how you can use punches to create such adorable little characters!

“Sweet” Candy Wrappers & so sad about my ‘puter!
I just got the call this morning…my computer is not fixable so we basically have to buy a new tower for it to work. Which of course means, more MONEY, more time without it and having to decide what to buy to replace it. I’m still using my kids’ computer which means I can’t do everything and it takes me 3x as long to do work. All my documents, etc are on my old computer-so, if you’re waiting for something from me…I’m sorry-it’s going to take a while longer. Now, we have to decide what we want to buy. 🙁
I’m hoping to get some of my email working on this computer this afternoon, but until I do…I’m still emailing from my phone. Have you ever tried to type your emails on your phone as your MAIN source?! It’s not that fun.
Anyhow, that’s it for my sob story for today…I have the cutest little project to show you!

With just some designer paper and stamps, you can decorate small candies in style for your next event! It almost makes them to cute to eat…almost! 🙂
Oh yah!!!! I ONLY have 2 ribbon samplers left…so, make sure you order yours now…click here for more info!
Basket of Goodies + Free Tutorial
As promised here’s the second tutorial just for you! These little baskets were so fun to make. I used this project for my stampers clubs this month and each one turned out uniquely beautiful as each used different Designer papers. We created this project as a Mother’s Day idea, but, it would also make a great Teacher Gift for the end of the year.
Here are 3 different versions of this adorable Basket!

A Special Christmas Gift (a little late in sharing)
I know I’m late in showcasing this…but, I couldn’t help but share it with all of you even if I’m behind. (The life of a mom with 3 kids…nothing ever gets quite done on time!)
This lovely gift was dropped off by one of my customers, Diane Daines just before Christmas. It was so sweet of her to think of me, don’t you think?! Diane has been featured here before as a featured stamper. She is a talented crafter in ever way!
The box fit this beautiful ornament perfectly. I’ve never seen this type of work with beads before…I’m not sure what it’s really called, but, I like to call it an ornament "skirt". So cute! AND it looked so nice on my Christmas tree.
I don’t know about you, but, our family loves to add a few special ornaments to our tree every year. We date each one with a gold pen and part of our Christmas tradition is to reminance about each one. My kids just love looking at all of them and remembering when and where we got them.
Thanks Diane for adding a special ornament to our tree that we can cherish each year!
Have a HAPPY STAMPING DAY! Josee
p.s. In the upcoming days…I’ll be posting some awesome samples shared by some of my downline lately at some of our demonstrator events! The samples are great and I know you’ll want to come back to check it out!
Handmade Gift Exchange
At our team Christmas Party this year, we each brought a handmade gift to be exchanged – and the gifts shared were amazing!
I received this beautiful angel, made by Trina St. Michel. My eldest daughter was overjoyed with this ‘win’ and has made it well known that this angel is to become one of our most prominently displayed Christmas decorations both this year and in years to come! Thanks so much Trina – you have made both my daughter and me very happy ladies this Christmas!
For my contribution, I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful lady at my church make this table runner for me. The gloves were stamped (by me!) using the Punch Pals stamp set before being sewn on as part of this runner. Believe me, I was sad to part with this gift!
Have a HAPPY STAMPING Day! Josee
