Happy Tuesday Everyone

Tonight is our annual Faithful Friends meal and reveal.  I didn't participate last year, but am looking forward to having a Faithful Friend this year.  It is sometimes hard to keep my identity a secret though, because my craftiness is well known in my church :)

I want to share another project I did for Valentines.  I found this on Splitcoast and they are so easy and pack lots of WOW!

These little "packs" hold Ghirardelli chocolate squares.  Yummy!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Oh, it has been a long time since I posted, but I have been very busy. Here are some of my recent projects. I am really going to try to get in a routine with my blog posts!

Getting Ready for a New Year

As we approach the end of 2010, I am busy formulating a strategy for 2011! Join me as I launch my Stampin' Up business by conducting workshops once a month. My goal is to begin working part-time with my current employer as I devote more time to establishing my dream career—becoming a successful Stampin' Up Demonstrator.

Love is in the Air Workshop
Nothing speaks of love more than Valentine's Day. I always think of the Victorian hand-made cards when I think of Valentine's Day. Children hand out Valentines to their school friends and always want a special card for their teacher. Then, there is that special someone in your life that a store bought card just will not express the love that you want to declare. Why not put your own ideas into a special project this year. Join me for a Valentine workshop on Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Here is a sample of the crafting options you will have:

You will have the opportunity to make one of these cute cards, a three-dimensional project and a gift tag.

Has it really been a month??????

I have such good intentions to post daily to my blog, but life somehow gets in the way! I have been crafting though and have some new items to post.

Today, I finished this matchbox dresser. The top and bottom pieces have been sitting on my table for over a week, but I finally got the inspiration I needed to finish it. I love vintage! I pulled out some lace that I have had for decades and played with it until I got the look I wanted. The top and bottom use Raspberry Tart DP and the drawers are made from Early Espresso. The Patterned Pine trees were stamped with Kiwi Kiss. I used Rose Red to stamp "Merry Christmas" from the Bells and Boughs set onto the Kiwi Kiss shape.

I plan to fill the drawers with little gifts for one of my Sisters-in-law for Christmas.

Fall is in the Air

I just love Fall! After the summer we had, the cooler temperatures are so welcome! The new French Foilage is the perfect set to create your Fall cards. My sister in law has an October birthday, so this is her card.

Paper: Naturals Ivory, Concord Crush

Ink: Concord Crush, More Mustard, Pear Pizazze

Ribbon: Concord Crush Twill

Other: Wide Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, rhinestones

Stamps: French Foilage, Watercolor Trio

Thanks for looking and Happy Birthday Jackie!

Holy Family

I still love this Christmas set. I used Cherry Cobbler for my base and added a layer of Always Artichoke and Deck the Halls dp. The Cherry Cobbler twill tape is awesome. It is so easy to tie!



Thanks for looking!
