Here are some ornaments I created using the Trinkets On Board Ornaments Kit, Brads, the Pretties Kit, Chunky and normal glitter and an assortment of beads I have left over from jewelry making. I still have tons of pieces left over, but I'm taking a rest!!

Christmas Projects

Here are two projects I put together today "in case" we do a technique workshop at the beginning of December.
This first Joy "card" was one of the folds I learned this summer for one of the challenges and I adapted it for Christmas. I've used the "Holiday Treasures" designer Paper and cut only "Joy" out with the Big Shot. It doesn't have to be a card - it can just be a decorative piece for the season.
The gift card holder is another fold that I learned this past year. The first one I made was for a graduation. I've used the "Ski Slope" paper and added more of the stars to the inside of the project.

Finally, a few weeks ago I created this "Advent" hanger using the pieces out of the On Board Trinkets Ornaments from in the Holiday Mini. I'm still learning how to create these in-home decorative items. I never seem to know how to embellish them.

Once I get pictures of Amy's items for the December workshop I'll post them - she's doing a pocket calendar and a paint can.

Thanks for dropping by - Have a stampin' happy day.

Christmas Card Camp Cards

Here are the cards we're going to be doing at this weekend's Christmas Card Camp. We're excited to have 42 people attending.....now cut, cut, cut...

The words for this first card I created were done using the Big Shot.













We created this cute Gingerbread Flip card at a team meeing earlier this fall.











This card was inspired from the card shown on page 43 in the catalgoue.













Amy received this card as a swap at Regionals in October. I love the misty look of it.











I love this Christmas Tree!!!













Amy created this card for a swap earlier this fall with our Team.


Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been preparing for this card camp, getting ready for my son's 20th birthday - I made a memory book for him.

I hope all is well with everyone. Thanks for stopping by.
