O Holy Night

                                     
This is one of the easiest projects I have ever done.  Buy a piece of wood (mine is 8" x 24") paint it whatever color you would like, then add the vinyl.  So easy and a pretty Christmas Decoration.

This is a cute little treat holder that is sooo easy to make! I really think it's one of the easiest I have ever done! {love the easy ones!} All you have to do is cut out 2 of the tags from the Two Tags die cut with your Big Shot. I used some Andes Candies in this one...you can use so many different candies!! I pulled a ribbon through and added one little stamped image!

Happy New Year

Well...where to start? First let me say THANKS for all the kind comments and get well wishes! I am finally feeling better and my ears finally popped just 2 days ago!! It is wonderful to hear normally again and NOT hear myself chew! I soooo enjoyed my quiet time while Shawn and the boys were away! I ended up not stamping very much! I cleaned my house from top to bottom the first day...I know, not really fun but it felt sooo good to get it done and be in a clean house that wasn't immediately being messed up by little kiddos! Then I watched some movies, laid around in my jammies, did some shopping and did a little crafting on the last day! I took some pictures but they didn't turn out...which brings me to my next thing, the reason I have posted so little! My camera is dying! It is dying a slow death. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't...when it isn't working I get pink tinted pictures.
I did get these pictures this morning and they aren't too horrible. These were gift card holders I made for my brother and his wife for Christmas. I found the idea on Andrea's blog. It slides open to the side and the gift card holder is on the inside...I didn't get pictures of the inside cuz my camera quit working! When Kailee went to Seattle she called me one day and said "Mom, Aaron left his gift card holder here!" I said "Oh good bring it home with you...I forgot to take pictures and now I can post them and hang them on my board!!" Otherwise they would have been in the garbage!
Anyway...I did spend most of today stamping and so I am crossing my fingers that my pictures will turn out and I will have something new to share tomorrow! I have been chatting for long enough! Have a good rest of your Tuesday!

A Christmas Wish

I had the best Sunday...I am sorta bummed it's coming to an end!! I went to church this morning where Kailee sang "O Holy Night" with another girl and she knocked my socks off! I have known she could sing and it's been fun seeing her develop her special talent...but today she was INCREDIBLE!!!! I was in tears...then I had her sing it again at home and I was in tears again!! It was beautiful...I couldn't believe the voice that was coming out of that sweet little 13 yr. old girl!! Then I had a Sunday afternoon nap and I woke up to Shawn making dinner...Zuppa Toscana Soup...it's a fabulous recipe I found and tweaked to recreate the yummy soup from The Olive Garden! Then a fun game with the family and now doin' a little bloggin'!!
Anyway...now that you are all caught up on my day...on to the card. :) I love this set and I haven't had much time to play with it. I thought it was perfect to do the spotlight technique on though! I am hoping to make a few more this week before I have to put it away till next year!!
Have a wonderful evening! ...chat at ya later!

diet coke and chocolate

It's always a good time for a diet coke and some chocolate! I made these for Tyson and Kyler's teachers...just a little something to help them get through their last couple of days this week! I took the water bottle idea...here is a link to the ones I made last spring...and just decided to make it a little more fun! I know, I know water is good for you but nothing beats a super fizzy, cold diet coke! :) Am I right? I tweaked the chocolate holder a little since the chocolate was thicker than the Crystal Light packets I used with the water bottles. I just made it a little more box like instead of pouch like.
Only 6 more days till Christmas...we are super excited here at our house!! All the "christmas schtuff" is done and it is time for relaxin'! I am so looking forward to spending time with Shawn and the kids for the next couple of weeks! Have a great weekend!! :)

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Hey everyone! Oh, Christmas Tree...Oh Christmas Tree {can you just hear the song?} that's what came to mind as I was making this card! I snagged this idea from Heather. She made a smaller tree on a gift tag and I decided to go big and do a card. {I think that's the motto here in Texas...go big or go home!} It's so cute...I am going to make a few more of these for some of my Christmas cards. {{gasp}} No my cards aren't done yet...not even close! Oh well...that's me...always workin' till the very last minute...I work best under pressure and stressed out...at least that's what I have been telling myself for years! :)
Ok...on to more fun news! Only 2 days till my birthday!! Can you feel the excitement? I sure can! I will be the ripe 'ol age of 33!! I feel a little old...I am the oldest in my family so I am always hitting that "old" milestone before anyone else which makes it worse than those that may not be the oldest in their families! {my brothers and sisters don't let me forget it either! nor does my hubby even though I am only older than him by 2 months!} ;)
Have a super fantastic day!!! Thanks for coming by!!!

**oh...my eye is still swollen and hurting, it's actually worse today, but thanks for all the nice comments....I especially loved Linda's...it made me laugh, which made me squint my eye, which made it hurt worse...but whatever! :)

Reindeer Pouch

Good Monday Morning! So this morning I woke up with one swollen eyelid and it hurts to blink. {and let me tell ya...it's oh so pretty!!} I am not sure what the deal is I am keeping an "eye" on it though! ha!
Alright....let me start by saying that I am way too impressed with myself. I made this little reindeer pouch all by myself...no caseing! I am sure that I am not the only one who came up with this cuz it's pretty basic but I am just so pleased with myself none the less!! :) I saw a little foam reindeer face at Michaels and I thought I can do that with paper...and so I did! I used my pennant die cut for the face. I punched out circles for the nose and eyes. I put some crystal effects on Rudolph's nose to make it shine just the right amount! :) I drew the antlers and cut them out and adhered them to the inside of the pouch. The little holly leaves...I started with a little rectangle piece of paper and then I used my 1/2 in. circle punch and punched all the sides to get pointed leaves. I used dew drops for the holly berries. I added some paper shred and then it's ready for fillin'! I had candy in it ...but that was a few days ago and well...I ate it...I waited too many days to take a picture! I came up with this as one of the projects for Crafty Friday. Tyson and Kyler's classes will be making these this Friday. I had so much fun making santa ornaments last week with the kids.
Ok...enough babble from me! Have a great day...thanks for coming by!

Super Cute Treats!!!

Is this not the cutest?!!! I wish you could see it in person...the pictures do not do it justice!! {plus I am not a great photographer!} Of course I didn't come up with this...I was just quick to case it! Andrea came up with this...she even has a great video tutorial on how to make these cute treats! She used gumdrops and gummy treats {which would be perfect for kids} but I wanted to use chocolate because it's my one true love! ;) I did 4 different circle sizes because my clear bag is only 9 1/2 inches long. When I did the 3 layers there was alot of open space so I decided to add one more layer of circles. The peanut butter cups slid onto the skewer easily...no breaking! I made 2 of these to take to Ty and Kyler's teachers tomorrow...I will be up at the school doing crafts with each of their classes. Their teachers asked me to do craft Fridays for the next 3 weeks with their classes. They wanted the kids to make some fun crafts to do between now and when they go on break. So I have some darling things to show you tomorrow of what we will be working on!! :)
gotta run...kids are calling!
Have a great day! Chat at ya later!

celebrate the season

Just a very quick card I made a while ago. I have seen so many cute things with crumpled, distressed circles made into flowers. I went for a Christmas flower. This is a super simple card...I think I made it in 10 minutes!

santa claus

This cute santa came from Heather...check out her awesome video tutorial. This is super cute and really, really easy. I decided to attach it to a card but I am also going to make some as tags for gifts because inside his beard is where you can write the "To: & From:". I stamped 'Merry Christmas' inside this one but I forgot to get a picture of it!...oops! Also I don't have the scallop die from Stampin' Up! yet so I used my Marvy Giga Scallop Punch...which I think is pretty close to the same size as the die. I added some crystal stickles to the white on the hat but when I make it again I am going use diamond cuz this has a pink tint to it. I think the diamond stickles are more clear. I inked the edges of my kraft paper with white craft ink and added the red ribbon...that's it! SUPER EASY!
Have a great Thursday. I am going to be getting ready for our City of Katy Tree Lighting tonight. Kailee is singing with her choir there and they have some fun activities. Then we have our own little NYC Rockefeller Center moment when Katy's tree is lit! It's fun! :)

Flurries of Fun

I have been busy working on some birthday invites for my daughter so I thought I would share this card I made a while back. I submitted it for a contest but it didn't win. Oh well...I like it and I think I am going to make another one so I can have one in my stash! I used Tombow glue to adhere the dazzling diamonds for the snow. It gives it a little more dimension using the glue instead of embossing it. It "snowed" on the ground and some of the tree branches and a few of the snowflakes are glittering too. (I used my stamp-a-ma-jig so that the flakes would be randomly perfect!) I added a few brads to some of the snowflake middles. I love the paper in the Frosty Days dsp pack that had the words in circles...so I used that for the sentiment and punches out a few of the letters to highlight it! I think that's about it!
I am still fighting my cold but I am determined to win!! So I am hoping for a great day...even if I can't breath, hear or smell very good! :) Have a terrific Tuesday and THANK YOU so much for stopping in! **chat at ya later**

Mr. Twigster's House

Ok...first things first! I did not come up with this idea myself! I totally cased Andrea's super cute idea! She has the most wonderful projects on her blog! Please go look at her cute card holder house and her fabulous cards! I just saw hers on her blog and then went to work on my own because it was too cute not to try! :) Andrea offers this as a class planner. You can order detailed instructions with pictures so you can create your own or hold a class. So...so as not to take away from what she worked so hard to put together (& because mine is alot rougher than hers) I am not going to put up directions for the how to! I just don't feel good about gaining anything from her work! Yes..I sat down and figured this out on my own but only after seeing hers! So I hope you enjoy anyway! It was alot of fun to make and it has a definite WOW factor! :) Feel free to look at my pics and pick it apart so you can make your own too! I did use Mr. Twigster as my theme...cuz he needs a house of his own...don't ya think? Doesn't this just look like the place Mr. Twigster would live?!
chat at ya later...have a wonderful Wednesday!
