Reindeer food favor

December 21st, 2011

Today, we were very busy getting ready for Santa to come to our house. Of course, it's important to remember the reindeer too! So, today, we made reindeer food. It's quick, fun, and easy to do. I used (pretzel stick) goody bags to put the reindeer food in and cut a little off the top of the bag to make the bag a little smaller. I cut the reindeer at three inches using "Create A Critter" cartridge.

To make the reindeer food, we spooned in a few spoons of oats and mixed in some red and green glitter. On Christmas Eve, we are going to sprinkle it on the front yard, so the glitter will sparkle, letting the reindeer know where to land, of course. In the meantime, they can eat the oats and be on their way.

Stocking Gift Card Holder

December 16th, 2011

Welcome to the Christmas blog hop! There are great projects today featuring lots of great Christmas crafts. If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop, you can start at http://memoriesintyme.blogspot.com.

For this hop, I made a cute stocking gift card holder.

RECIPE:

The stocking is an SVG file I bought from MyScrapChick.com.

I cut the stocking using SCAL and embossed the top of the stocking with my Swiss Dots folder. I used my Fiskars ribbon punch for the green border and tied a green ribbon around and attached a cute jingle bell. I faux stitched the red part of the stocking.

All About Winter Blog hop

December 2nd, 2011

Welcome to "All About Winter" Blog Hop! I am so glad you could join us today for this fun hop featuring lots of fun winter projects.

Today, I made a Winter Holiday Card. I made this card with a group of Stampin' Up friends one evening as we chatted about the Holidays, the busyness of the season, and all things we had to do between now and then. I love getting together with this group of ladies. They are great people who love to stamp and make cards. So, here is the card I made that evening…

Thanks for hopping along with us! Your next stop is Lynne.

Get “Whale” Soon

December 1st, 2011

Here's another card I made for my mom. She is doing better as the days go on and is in better spirits. She has adjusted to being home full-time. She is reading, listening to books on CD, and puttering around her house. It's nice to see my mom enjoying her time off and resting. So, I have been trying to make little things for her to cheer her up and keep her busy.

Here's a "Get Whale Soon" card I made using a SVG file I purchased from MyScrapChick.com. I thought it was perfect for my mom while she recovers.

The whale is covered in silver Stickles. I think I took the picture to close and the Stickles look a little gritty. Lesson learned! I also used 3D pop dots to pop the whale off the page.
