The Simplest of Gifts color me challenge...

Welcome and take a look at one of Sassy Cheryl's new images. This little girl is one of the sweetest I have ever seen. Such a wonderful image and makes you stop and think about this holiday season. Thank you Cheryl for another beautiful Digi Stamp.

Love & Joy...day 6!

Good morning and happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday weekend. It was certainly busy around here. Family...decorating...a little crafting and brunch at High Cotton in Charleston. Whew...no wonder I was tired last night.

Back to normal today though and I have a whole "to do" list laying on the counter looking at me, so I am going to see how many things I can check off that list.

First on the list is post day 6!

This is some of last years Christmas pictures...no they are not all scrapped yet. I used the Winter Woodland cartridge. Love those snowflakes on that Cart. I wasn't sure I liked the layout but I do love the pictures, so that makes it a little better.

Enjoy your day and stop and see me later. I will be posting something for the Sassy Cheryl Challenge later.

Blessings...

Holiday wishes....day 5

Yes I know I missed a day....exhaustion finally caught up with me and after doing a little shopping yesterday and some decorating...I knew I didn't have the energy to blog anything!

I made these two cards from images I got from Sassy Cheryl. This little cappuccino snowman is just about the cutest guy I have seen. He was fun to color...and the card was quick and easy.

The "Charlie Brown " tree is one of Cheryl's designs too. She is one talented lady. Check out her website she has new designs each week and lots of fun challenges.

Thanks for stopping by and next week I will be back at it.

Have a good evening.

Happy Thanksgiving...day 4

My Thanksgiving Centerpiece....

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving. What a wonderful holiday to remember all of our blessings. Table is set and food is cooking. The house smells great and I can hardly wait for all the kids to get here and the fun to begin. Of course tonight will be a different story...I will be exhausted...but a good exhausted.

I made these little place cards for my table. I know it is really not a Christmas craft...but it will work for any holiday. I used the Stampin Up Top Note die for the top. I just printed every ones name off on the computer and added a couple of punches. So easy to do on this very busy day.

So very thankful for Family...Friends...and all my extended crafting family.

Love and Blessings to all.

Tin and Note pad...day 3

Good morning and happy day before Thanksgiving. I love this day...I usually spend it getting the house ready for company and then start all the cooking process. I do love to cook and this day is a fun excuse to spend the day in my kitchen.

I made this easy peasy little tin and note pad for a holiday hostess gift. Found these little tins at World Market and just put some printed paper around it with a stamp...topped it off with a snow flake from my Cricut. The stamps were all from Stampin Up. The little notepad is from Michael's and covered it with some card stock.

This is such a nice little gift for someone who has done something special for you.

Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow.

Christmas Note cards....Day 2...if your counting!

On the second day of Christmas...well no turtle doves...but I did make some cute little note cards. These little cuties are 3 by 3. The paper is from Graphic 45 Christmas Past 8 by 8 pack. I love that paper. Beautiful little prints that work great for these cards. I didn't do my own envelopes this time...I had some on hand from Paper trey Ink.

The stamps I used were a little bit of everything. I used...Got Treats and Christmas Punch from Stampin Up and Good Cheer from Technique Tuesday.

The box I made is cut at 6 1/2 by 6 1/2 and scored at 1 1/4 on all sides. I loved the way it turned out. I did several of these for little gifts.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you'll come back tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Advent Calender...1st day of Christmas

Hey all...and welcome to my version of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

I decided I was going to make myself create and post something for 12 days and I thought what better way to do that then to do the whole Christmas theme.

I have to say I love the way my advent calenders turned out...the only thing I didn't like was making 3 of them. I did one for each of the grand kids families....so did one for Syd and Shel...and one for Deegs and Kins. I made one for myself...and by that time I was really really really tired of the whole thing.

I did get a little smarter as I got to the 3rd one...the first two I cut my numbers on my Cricut and then had to glue them all on. That was not the best idea. Then last night about 11:00 I thought...wow...maybe I should just print the numbers out on the computer and punch them out. That would have been a great idea about 3 days ago. Oh well...live and learn. They are done and I can give them to the kids on Thanksgiving, just in time for the countdown to start.

I found the boxes at Hobby Lobby half off...yippee...I love a deal.

Enjoy and leave me a comment if you have any questions.
