Lucky me!

I was so excited to get this birdcage ornament from Jamie (Pretty Ditty) for Christmas! The picture below isn't very good and doesn't do it justice. It is the cutest birdcage - I love it!

Here's a closeup of the little bird.

Big plans for New Year's Eve? We're having dinner with some friends, it should be fun. See you back here in 2011!

Jolly Holiday Thank Yous

I made some thank you cards using the last of my Jolly Holiday paper.
Here's a close-up, I used the petals a plenty embossing folder. I also used the dotted scallop ribbon, decorative label, modern label and word window punches.

Hope you had a great Christmas!

Melon Mambo Birthday card

My friend's daughter's birthday was yesterday. I made this using a retired stamp set. Colors are Melon Mambo, Pacific Point and So Saffron.
I used the envelope so I could include some birthday money inside.

Hope she had a great birthday!

Northern Flurry Christmas Card

These are the cards we sent out this year for Christmas. I used the Northern Flurry embossing template and Northern Frost decorative die.

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Snowman Cake Pops

Along with all the holiday crafts, I've been baking a lot too. I know I swore I wouldn't make cake pops anymore, but I must be glutton for punishment because I made these snowman cake pops for a friend.
Here they are all wrapped up.

She needed 50!! of them.

These were a little easier since the stick is on top (as opposed to being like a lollipop and having the cake on top). But still took way longer than I expected and there were still casualties.

2 Wish Big

Taking a break from all the holiday cards and dug out my butterfly sizzlit. I made two versions of this card, one vertical and one horizontal.
With all the rain we've been having, I needed some spring inspiration.

Marina Mist Birthday Card

I made this card for my cousin's birthday. I used crumb cake and marina mist and sponged crumb cake ink over everything to give it a little more antique feel to go with the antique brad.

Things have been busy with holiday parties, shopping, wrapping and shipping!

Wild About You Thank You - #4

This is the last card that I made for my sister. This card uses the Wild About You stamp set. Scroll down to see the other 3 cards that I posted this week.
I did some paper piercing on this card to add some texture.

I made 3 of each of the 4 designs and will be giving these to my sister along with a return address stamp with my nephew's name on it and some Stampin' Spots. Hope she likes them!

Wild About You Thank You - #3

I think this giraffe is my favorite from the Wild About You set. I used the square lattice embossing folder to add texture to the background.

Just one more card of the set tomorrow.

Wild About You Thank You - #2

Here's another card I made using the Wild About You set. I tried to use a lot of primary colors since my nephew will "sending" them.

Wild About You Thank You - #1

I made a few thank you cards for my sister to send out from my nephew. I used the retired Wild About You stamp set and Circle Circus.
Here's a closeup of the lion from the set.
Stay tuned for more thank you cards.

Day of Gratitude Thank You

I made this 3x3 Thank You card using the Day of Gratitude stamp set in Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler.
I also added an antique brad in the center.

Hope you have a great Friday!

Day of Gratitude birthday

I tried a color combo that's out of my comfort zone for this card. I used basic black, basic gray, whisper white and cherry cobbler. I used the Day of Gratitude stamp set and Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment.

December already! This year has just flown by!
