Is it just me? Seriously??

Time is FLYING around here - my sister and brother-in-law will be here a week from today, and Christmas Eve is a week from tomorrow!!!!! I still have so much to do! :::sigh:::

Oh, well. :) Here's another Decor Elements gift idea - SUPER simple, but really something IRL. I'm not sure how well this scan shows it off, but you'll get the idea! :)


This is a project from our HOME & HEARTH class last month. It's one of my favorite classes - and the one I usually stress over the most. :D I really want the attendees to have heirloom-quality pieces that they can pass on if they wish.

This project uses HOLY FAMILY (stamp set) and HOLIDAY MIX CHOCOLATE (Decor Element) from the Holiday Mini; you can still get your hands on these until January 4! The colors are Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White - with some Encore Gold Ink in there, too. I got the frame at Walmart. It's a CHEAP frame, but it works OK when it sits up. :)

OK, I'm off - probably to procrastinate some more. :D Have a wonderful day, and PLEASE. TAKE THE TIME TO STAMP SOMETHING! :D

Week 10 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas!

Good morning! I'm a little late with this today; I lost a day somewhere this week, and was thinking yesterday that I still had another day to work with. Imagine my chagrin when I woke up to Friday morning! :D

ANYWAY. Here is this week's idea; I hope you enjoy it! Only TWO WEEKS until Christmas, ladies and gentlemen!!!!!! EEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd better get busy! :D

Have a WONDERFUL day! And please, take the time to STAMP something!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thursday!

This week is all messed up. Today feels like Wednesday - where did my lost day go?!?!

Oh, well. :D Today's share is a card we made at the last Christmas card class trio - and IF I get them done, it's the basis of my personal design. :)

Card stock: Night of Navy, Whisper White, Brushed Silver

Ink: Encore silver metallic

Stamp sets: Christ is Born, Holy Family and Many Merry Messages(inside, see below)

Accessories: Big Shot (YES!!!!!!!! I love that thing! :D), Petals-a-Plenty texturz folder, sponge dauber, embossing buddy, heat tool, silver embossing powder



And this is the inside - I had to show it off, because I impressed myself with it. :D

The Holy Family stamp set is just beautiful - and I enjoyed all three stamps in it! Remember, if you still want anything from the Holiday Mini, you have until bright and early January 4 to make sure you get it!!!

Also, did you know I can offer your family a gift certificate or gift card for either merchandise OR class fees? I'd love to help them out with their gift shopping - just have them call or email me!

OK, I'm off. Our dearest friends from Oregon are here for a week, and we're gonna enjoy every moment! Of course, I may have to drag Corrine into stampin' something with me - so YOU stamp, too! :D PLEASE let me know what you think of this card, and/or if I can be of ANY assistance to you!

Only 22 more days until Christmas! DECK THE HALLS - and REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

Can you believe it?!?!

We're closing in on Christmas REALLY fast! Have you started your Christmas cards yet? :D It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas around here, with all the classes we've been doing - and will cram into November. :D There's a lot going on!

This is one of the cards for my Christmas Card Class Trio; I hope you enjoy it!

I really love monochromatic cards, and there's nothing more elegant (in my humble opinion :D) than gold and white.

Card stock: Whisper White, Brushed Gold

Ink: Encore Gold

Stamp set: Holy Family, Many Merry Messages

Accessories: gold embossing powder, heat tool, embossing buddy, corner rounder punch

Super-easy, although a LITTLE labor-intensive to do all the embossing - it's embossed INSIDE, too. :D What can I say? I can't help myself! LOL!

OK. I'm off to try and stay ahead of the game. :D Have a WONDERFUL day - and please, take the time to STAMP SOMETHING!!!!
