THAT'S THE TICKET BIRTHDAY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I hope your Christmas was wonderful and you enjoyed it with family and friends.  We had a wonderful time with my son and family, and his wife's family came down from Michigan too.  It is always fun when there are little ones and Larry and Jessica have a little 2 1/2 yr old - Wyatt.  He was so much fun.

Now I am working on Birthday cards.  Dec 31st through Jan 31st we have 5 birthdays!! (including mine) and they are ALL FEMALES.  Just interesting fact...

So here is my first birthday card I made this morning:

 I used the real red Co'ordinations card stock and distressed the edges.  The card base if whisper white card stock.  I stamped the ticket with black ink on designer paper and layered it .

 I also used some of my clear stamps and created single tickets from stamped white, colored with real red markers and then stamped black ink words on designer paper.

I added three brads on the upper left corner and added a knotted ribbon.  Inside I included one more ticket with HAPPY BIRTHDAY in smaller letters stamped on it.

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Stay tuned for another one in the next day or two.

On New Year's Eve, think of me because I was born around 3:00 a.m. which makes it January 1 for my birthday.  I am going to have a special GIFT FOR ONE OF MY BLOG VISITORS ON MY BIRTHDAY SO STAY TUNED FOR THOSE DETAILS.

First SHOPPING:
Have you gotten all the things you want from the CLEARANCE RACK yet?  There are still lots of items available at amazing discounts up to 80% off!!


Next PLANNING:
The Holiday CARRYOVER LIST has been released and some of the sets from both 2012 and this year are still going to carry over!! WOO HOO I am happy about that.  It makes these items worth so much more because we can use them another YEAR for demonstrations, gifts, etc.  So here is where the planning comes in - take a look at the list and see if you want any of these items and get them NOW so you will be all set for NEXT CHRISTMAS.


Last:  ENJOYING:
Just a few days until Christmas and time to ENJOY this special time with family and friends.  RELAX, put your feet up with a cup of hot cocoa and a cookie, and stare into the fireplace as you all reminisce about Christmases past and how this is the BEST one yet!!

I wish for PEACE, LOVE and JOY to you and yours this special holiday season.  When I feel at peace, all is right with the world and I am happy and feel love towards others.  May the light of Christ shine in your home this season and always, dear blog friends.

A FUN CRAFT FOR SOME LAST MINUTE GIFTING

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have a NON STAMPING gift idea for you today.  However, add a stamped tag or card and there you go, right??!!

A very good friend of mine, Janet, gave this to me yesterday and I immediately had to share the idea with YOU.


This is a canning jar with a small string of lights inside and potpourri inside as well.  The top has been left off and a doily was tied around the top with a cute ribbon.

Plug in the lights and the heat from the lights helps the potpourri waft through the doily into your house.  It smells so wonderful!!

Isn't this the cutest idea E V E R??         LOVE    LOVE  LOVE IT.

Any potpourri and any small string of lights.

If you have any questions, let me know.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ENJOY YOUR CRAFTING OF ALL KINDS.

I am busy making body scrubs and decorated candles today.  I hope to share them in the next few days once they are completed.

CARD MADE WITH BEST OF SNOW STAMP SET

HELLO BLOGGIES,

Sorry I have not been on as often this past week, I am busy running around getting last minute gifts and completing my hand made gifts as well.

BUT, I still took a few minutes this morning to make this cute card to share with you.

 Crumb cake is the base of the card with cherry cobbler layer behind the stamped snowman image.

 I used one of the tags from the Stamp-a-Tag kit #132806 (LOVE THIS KIT) and stamped the sentiment, then attached cherry cobbler bakers twine from the  kit.


Some two way glue pen and some dazzling diamonds to hint at the snow and then just color here and there with your markers and it is finished!!

Hope you enjoyed my card today.  Won't you leave me some bloggie love below?

MORE CARDS FROM SIMPLY SENT GOOD AS GOLD KIT

HEY BLOGGIES,

I am showing some NEW ITEMS coming up in January from the SALE-A-BRATION Catalog and this GOOD AS GOLD SIMPLY SENT KIT is awesome!!

Here are two cards I made with the kit.

 I am especially loving the card base with the coastal cabana, crisp cantaloupe, pistachio pudding, baked brown sugar and shiny gold foil POLKA DOTS.  They make this card so fun!!   I also LOVE LOVE LOVE that the thank you die cuts are IN THREE LANGUAGES!!  That is so trendy right now to have French, German, etc. in decor.  LOVE IT!!

And the die cuts come in all the coordinating colors to match the card base.  The card base is very heavy card stock while is PERFECT in my humble opinion!!

THESE ARE MY THANK YOU CARDS FOR ORDERS FOR THIS MONTH.

If you missed my fun card yesterday from this kit, don't forget to see it below.

Thanks for visiting.  Stop back by again, ya' hear?  I have so many NEW GOODIES to share with you!!

SNEAK PEEK AT NEW SALE-A-BRATION CATALOG GOODIES

HEY BLOGGIES,

I just got my pre-order for the OCCASIONS CATALOG and SALE-A-BRATION  delivered TODAY!!  YIPPEE!!  The Occasions Catalog is not active until  January, but as a demonstrator, I need to have the items to plan my demonstrations early.  Therefore, I whooped and hollered when I got my package TODAY.

 I chose to first show you this wonderful SIMPLY SENT KIT called GOOD AS GOLD.  It is a kit for enough to make at least 8 cards, 8 envelopes and 8 liners for the envelopes.  Also a sheet of die cuts, the gold twine and the baker's twine..  LOVE IT.  AND IT IS FREE FREE FREE WITH ANY $50 ORDER!!

 I chose to make the popular file folder cards with the insert you slide into the file folder.  I made the insert with the ENVELOPE LINER (the gold sheet).  FUN FUN FUN.  I adhered the skinny coastal cabana banner, the MERCI banner and then a gold  foil sheet banner with a star punched out.  I then used the star as the DOT on my "I"  in MERCI.

   I cut the top to look like a tab topped file folder and glued "thank you" die cut banner on the insert. It just slides into the file folder card that is held together with the twines.


Closer look at the shiny gold foil insert where you write your message.

Hope you enjoyed looking at the NEW PRODUCT.  I could have just made the cards and lined the envelopes like the kit suggests, BUT WHERE IS THE SPORT IN THAT, HUH?

Stop back again and see more ideas.

CUTE GIFT IDEA

Last night at card club. We made items from the kits available from SU.  The muslin bags, the bag it kit, the box it kit and a few other items that I have shown previously on this blog.

I also made some fun Magic Reindeer Food that I saw on Angie's blog.  Thanks Angie for your cute idea!!

 The box is very small and so very easy to create.  The reindeer snack is oat groats and some cake sprinkles.  Angie used oatmeal but I didn't have any so I used my oats that I grind into oatmeal.

 This is the little poem that goes with it and is adhered on the back of the box.


Here is a closeup of the little decoration of the reindeer on the front.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  Come back again to see some more fun ideas and projects, won't you?
