Sweater Weather

When I first saw these on the very talented Denise Foor's Blog I knew they were just begging to be CASE'd. So... I just love them and don't you just love the Sweater Weather (132184) Designer Paper. It is PERFECT!

These cards are standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 for mailing!

Enjoy! Thanks Denise for the inspiration.

Until next time!

Holly, Jolly Christmas Tree

I saw this tree on a CTMH blog post and decided to make one using the Rosette Die instead of scoring by hand! It is so cute and perfect for your table decoration or mantle piece.

I used retired papers but any Christmas DSP would be perfect. Love the glitter snowflakes too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time!

Two Ideas for today

I saw both these on different blogs and they were so cute I had to make them.

The Kissing Ball would be great for weddings (all white); Halloween (black/orange); Easter with little eggs or chicks on it; Christmas (all red/green); Valentines. I made this one using old designer paper scraps (yes it is great for scraps)

Cut each piece 2 1/4" x 1/2" and glue together with a glue dot and glue all over styro ball with hot glue. I used a 4" ball but you can use any size. It takes time to make the loops but it is something you can do watching TV!

The toilet paper was from Janet Wakeland's blog and this is the poem. It fits perfectly in the Stampin Up gusset cello bag (127850 - $1.59 on the Clearance Rack) and you get 25 bags! If you order on line be sure and use the Hostess Code: V2R7TNVZ or EMAIL me and I will order for you.

Here is the poem attached:

Money is scarce
Times are hard
I'm giving you this
Instead of a card.
Something to use.
Something to share.
I am giving you this
because I care.

Hope you have fun with this!

Until next time!

Challenge 233

Good Morning!

Halloween is just around the corner.  This week we want to get ready for the trick-or-treaters challenging you to create a Halloween treat holder. I guess this is recycle season. Two of my projects are recycled baby food containers (can you tell we have a new granddaughter) and they made cute little treat holders!

The other tag with candy corn in a cello bag was a CASE from Mary Fish! It was just too 'sweet' to pass up!

Reversed Background

Good Morning! Today I am posting a technique from the October/November Technique Junkie Newsletter. It is so neat and is really a super way to show off your sentiment! Check out other samples on the Technique Junkie Blog. (CLICK HERE)

I used the World Background Stamp from Stampin Up for my card, some baker's twine and our new Candy Dots to accent!

Today's my grandson's birthday; he'll be four... boy time really flies!

Until next time!
