Gift Tags

Remember when I gave you a sneak peek of one of the tags that you could create at my Tag Party? Well here are all 5 of them!

At the tag party last night everyone created 2 each of the 5 designs. It was fun!


And if you didn't get the chance to come last night, there is always December 17th at the crop. 6-midnight. You are welcome to create these tags...just let me know! (demokimsu@yahoo.com)

Merry Christmas

I've got another Christmas card for you today! I like to make a lot of different designs rather than 50 of the same card. This way I don't get bored!

This card was made using some of the Cute Christmas DSP and the trees from the A Cute Christmas stamp set. I also used the Merry Christmas greeting from the Christmas Greetings stamp set.


And the glitter is Stampin Up's new glass glitter! I just love the silver!!


Hope you all are having a very merry time getting ready for Christmas!

Sweet Day

This card was one that my card club ladies got to make this month. It was also my submission for 2 challenges online. The first is Wee Memories' Ribbon Challenge and second is Clean and Simple's sketch from last week!

The color combo of this card is: Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Early Espresso and Rich Razzleberry! I love it!

This card is pretty simple to create. Both of the patterned papers come from the Brights Patterns DSP Stack! I love that stack of paper!


Because it was a ribbon challenge I thought I would use 2 of my favorite ribbons right now. I love the idea of 2 bows on a card! Don't you??

Snow, Snow, Snow

It snowed in Kansas City this week! WOW! Winter is coming. So I thought that today I would share a snowy card with you...

This is a card that I made for my recent stamp-a-stack. We used all 3 snowflakes from "Snow Swirled" in the colors: Baja Breeze, Bravo Burgundy, and Going Gray. I love this color combo!


This card was finished off with a little paper piercing along the bottom and pearls in the middle of some of the snowflakes!


On another note: I'm actually listening to Christmas music right now. (Those who know me will find this shocking!) I really enjoy just a few albums. Number one is Amy Grant's Home for Christmas and number two is NSYNC's Home for Christmas. There are a few more but those are my absolute favorites and I can listen to them over and over again. Sometimes even in July! (Funny how they are both named "Home for Christmas"! I've never had that realization before.)

Snowman w/ a Top Hat

It's a new month! YAY! It's December and I'm gonna try to (keyword is TRY) post once a day this month! Whew!

So we are starting out the month with this cute little card featuring the snowman from the "A Cute Christmas" stamp set! I just love this set and I think this little snowman has been used the most! You can see another card featuring him here.


I started this card using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. Then I rubbed Whisper White craft ink over the top of the dots and also used it to ink the edges of the card. The ribbon is Stampin Up's seam binding in Cherry Cobbler! And the snowman was colored in with black and cherry cobbler markers and a little Dazzling Diamonds was added using a two-way glue pen!


So easy and I just love it!

Happy Thanksgiving

Last week we received our first Thanksgiving card. It was from my Mother-in-Law, Jean. (She's the one that sent the turkey too!) I just love this card. She embossed the leaves in black and then colored them some how...share your ways Jean!


I just love this fall color scheme and the layout! I may have to use it for inspiration this week!

October Club Scrapbook Layout

Sorry that it's taken me so long to get this posted. There have been a lot of things going on lately and I have had a super cranky little girl and that just leaves me with little to no motivation to get anything posted on my blog! But I just took tons of pictures this afternoon and hopefully will fill your next few days or weeks with blog after blog!


This month is club we focused on the fabric that is currently in the Holiday Mini! It was so much fun to create these flower-type embellishments for scrapbook pages!

Journaling Reads: "Family Pictures . November 28, 2010 (which upon further inspection should read 2009!) . Brooke @ 9 Months"

The Candy Cane Christmas line has great papers, fabric and buttons that all go together and I just love it all!

And here is the right side of the layout. This layout is going in Brookes "1st Year" album(s).

Journaling reads: "These pictures were taken for our 2009 Christmas cards. I love them! Some of my favorites are of you and Daddy. You both are so cute together! :)"


Hope you enjoy and come back tomorrow for more!
