Sneak Peak

So I am very excited that the Occasions Catalog is just around the corner!  But that does mean the Holiday Catalog will soon be gone:(  So don't forget to order now if there is anything you can't live without!!!  So on to the sneak peak...

I really like this new butterfly...It seemed a little big in the catalog, but it is PERFECT for that quick and simple card.  I embossed it with Pool Party embossing, added a little sentiment in white and a ribbon!  Be sure to stop in this week for all new products and new samples!

Kiddos Christmas Program

My two youngest had there Christmas Program last week.  And since they go to a Christain Preschool, they actually get to sing about Christmas:)  Here is my two cuties getting ready for stage!  

They did a great job!  

Teachers Gifts

I know I had shown you earlier the Candy Cane Vodka and Hot Chocolate Bottles I had made, But since I was giving them as teachers gifts I needed to add a little more!  I decided to etch some glasses and mugs that went along with the original projects!

 Here is a close up of on of the martini glasses, and below is the mugs I made!  

Thanks for stopping by!  See you again tomorrow.

Class Treats

So having three kiddos in school is getting a little crazy when it comes to the holidays...class treats, class parties, and teachers gifts!  I made 50 of these skittle sticks!  That's 200 mittens!  As cute as that little mitten is I would say I am a bit burnt out on it!  

They are simple(which they had to be for my sanity) but they still turned out pretty cute!

Club Bonus Project!

As I had mentioned I had a Bonus project for anyone at the Club Christmas Party that purchased $25.00 or more!  They got to make this cute Hot Chocolate mix!  

 There is enough Starbucks cocoa, chocolate chips and peppermint marshmallows for two!

Perfect little neighbor gift, teacher gift, or hostess gift!

Club Christmas Party

So at the Christmas Party everyone got to make a FREE project.  Here is the tin I came up with...

 Perfect for a sweet treat at the holidays!  

Here is my inspiration...

I would link to it but when I enlarge the image the watermark becomes unreadable!  I am really sorry as I wish I could give credit where credit is due!  I don't case much, but when I do I want to make sure the creator gets credit!  Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see the bonus project we made!

Christmas Ornament Card

So I have had this Holiday Frame Embossing folder since October...and FINALLY used it!  (please ignore that I did it on this card upside-down) LOL.  Anyways It looks OK I think because the ornament is covering the fact that there is a tree on the frame.  

I did use one of my favorite sets though...Ornament Keepsakes. 128048(w) or 128051(c).  I love that it has coordinating framelits! 127816.

Thanks for stopping in!

Order Thank you's

A quick post with the little treats I added to my customer orders this past month!

 We used the Watercolor Winter Set 129727(c) and 129724(w). I love how versatile this set is.  

 And here is a close up of the jar!  Thanks for stopping in!

Be sure to come by tomorrow to see the set my advanced club made!  

Club Cards!

In the month of December I "take off" from having club.  I used to hold them but most people can't make it.  So I throw a little Christmas party for the members all on one day and hope for the best!  So with that I do my "Christmas" themed club in November.  This year I fell in love with this little group of Snowmen-Frosty Friends #128117.  They are so darn cute!

 Above it the card I did with my regular club.  Its clean and simple but I think the colors really make it pop!  Below I stepped it up a bit.  Added a ribbon slide form the holiday catalog and popped up two of the snowmen.  I also changed the colors up a bit:)  

Thanks for stopping in.  Be sure to swing by tomorrow to see the 3-d projects we did!

Artisan Design Team December 2012 Project 3

Here is my third post of the month with the fun goodies we got from Stampin' Up! this month.  I LOVE this pack of fabric!!!  And I love the way that all the colors work together, so I decided to make a headband out of it.  

What do you think?  (I know the cute model helps:)

 Here is a close up of all the flowers.

And here is Makai again...being a monster!  I took a few pictures but most had her tongue out or monster faces:)  O'well!  See you again tomorrow!!
