ho ho ho penguin

For my card I used only 3 of the 55 stamps in this set. Yes you heard me right! It
is jam packed with so many images you could seriously make cards for months and
never have to make the same card twice. The other beautiful thing... it can be used
as a Christmas set but also for so much more!I'm planning my kids Christmas thank you's
right now...or at least it's on the list of things to do. :> I also have 2 nephews with Dec/Jan birthdays and they are totally getting penguin cards! I have lots of plans for this set.


Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Head on over to Maki's blog to continue the hop!

I had a fabulous time with my Stick Together set. I had already made my card but
when I got snowed in today with 16 inches (and still snowing) of snow I decided to
bring it back out and scrap a little.

here's a close up for ya! :>

I made the snowflake tag for the page and was about to stick it down when I decided
it was perfect for a card. I grabbed some scraps that were sitting on the desk and
whipped this card out! Then I made another one to put back on the page.

Whew! Thanks for stopping by today! Next up on the hop is Maki's blog!



I used the super cute
American Crafts holiday line for the first card and last years October Afternoon Holiday line for the last 2 projects.

I have only used a couple of the multitude of images in this set! It is packed full of pieces to add to your Home Sweet Home Set or to use on their own. It's one amazing set! I used some retired SU paper, watercolored the house image with SU inks and added some liquid applique to mimic the snow (which we are supposed to have a ton of by tomorrow!)

Today we are showing the super cute card bin's. They are the perfect storage solution to all those cards hanging around waiting to be organized plus you get to alter it to your liking. They will hold about 40 cards (even bulky ones!) more if the cards have less layers.
This one is going to be a gift for one of my kiddo's teacher's...that is if I can part with it!

I'm so glad you stopped by today! Now head on over to Maki's blog to see what she created!

almost here...

xmas morning

I totally realize that I shouldn't even be speaking the words Christmas yet, but it had to be done! I mean I got a Christmas page done and I wouldn't want to keep anything from you now would I? Plus I'm getting inspired by all the fabulous Christmas lines out there and really need to scrap some of my Christmas photos! I promise I won't show them too early...
