New Christmas Ornaments

Hello Everyone, 

hope to find you all doing well and staying warm.

I know you must be wondering what happened to me since I hadn't

posted for a while. I have had my days full with all sorts of

projects and life in general. If you didn't know it by now some

of us crafters and designers stay real hush hush about anything

new we are working on especially if we plan to do a few holiday

shows. Don't get me wrong that it bothers me when some one

craft lifts my ideas but I like to be able to show it and try and sell

it so that I can make a good chunk of change before any one else

is making it and trying to sell it. I also have been known to scrap

lift of craft lift some ideas myself every now and then.

So now onto my header picture. This is new ornament that I made

I used my cricut to cut out the Eiffel Tower and I hand wrote Paris

I added pink feathers instead of the fake snow. Put it all together

in a clear ball ornament.

The picture doesn't do it justice. Hope you like it.

I will be at Wilson School this weekend selling my crafts.

Hope to see some of my old friends. A special Thank you to

Yolanda Vanderveen for the push to do the shows again.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!! 

Thrifty Tuesday 2/5

Hello everyone!!!!!

Hope to find you all doing well. I'm keeping busy alot to do

these days. Before I get into my thrifty tuesday blog I want

to update everyone about my adopted granddaughter. Marion

was released from the hospital late yesterday evening.  She

is now home continuing the road to recovery. I thank you

all who heard my request for prayers and prayed for her and

her family. The power of prayer is so amazing as is our Lord.

Thank You Everyone from the bottom of my heart!!!!!

 

Now on to my picture. I have been watching alot of

scrapbooking haul videos lately and so many were able to

get to their local Michaels store and get some great buys.

For some of us it is a little hard to get to those great sales

because we have to travel a good distance. What is pictured

above is some stamps that I found at Craft Warehouse. They

have their Christmas items at 75% off and since not many

were paying attention to what the other craft stores are clearing

out I managed to get the stamps at $1.75 each. What a great

buy!!!

I also found some Washi tape it was marked $2.50 but when it

rang up it cost $1.75. Not the price that everyone else was paying

at the compition store but still a gret buy.

I also managed to find some of the Lost & Found Santa packs

I got these at 75% off the original price and these were the

only ones that I could find at my local store. Another great buy.

There was so much more that I could have purchased but I need

to use up all I have already before my husband kills me...lol...

Well I better go and see what I can create. Until my next post

Have A Splendid Afternoon!!!!!

 

 

Keeping my New Years Resolution

 

Hello fellow bloggers!!

Hope to find everyone doing well and staying warm.

Can you believe that I am still keeping up my New Years

resolution? We are almost into a new month so I knew

that I better get my Christmas card done and posted on

my blog. If you read my blog you know that last year I

was very behind in making my Christmas cards so I

made a New Years resolution that I would make a

Christmas card and tag every month so as to maybe

get ahead of the game. Speaking of games will you

be watching the Super Bowl or will you be out shopping?

I will be home watching the game only because I need

to use all my craft supplies before I buy any more...LOL..

I think I have a stack of cardstock maybe three feet tall.

Ok I'm rambling so lets move onto the card I made.

Below is what the card looks like inside.

 

Card Recipe:

Red and white cardstock

Pattern paper from My Minds Eye (Santa Claus)

Rubber stamp: Stampendous

Poinsettia

Water colors

Tim Holtz Distress ink (tea dye)

Seam binding

Spellbinders Nestabilities (Floral Ovals)

 

Hope you all like my card. Now don't forget that

No Matter Which Challenge Blog begins a new

challenge soon and there are a great group of ladies

that will help inspire you to join in. So keep reading

and watching for the new challenge. Until my next

post Have a Splendid Evening!!!!!!!!
