Thanksgiving Table setting


I enjoy making fun table setting pieces for our holiday meals. These are the ones that I made for our Thanksgiving feast this year. Each of the pumpkin boxes contained a yummy chocolate mint.

Holiday Stamp Camp Card #2


Once a month I get together with other Stampin' Up demonstrators in my area to exchange fun ideas by doing a shoebox swap. This card was inspired by one of the demos, Sandy Fowler. I changed it up a bit, but loved her idea, so here it is. This is another card we will make at the Holiday Stamp Camps.

Card from Holiday Stamp Camp

This is one of the cards we will be making at the Holiday Stamp Camps. The inspiration for this card came from 2 talented Stampin' Up demonstrators, Jan Timko and Alesha White. I decided to use the new pewter embossing powder rather than white and love the look!

Gift Card Holder from Holiday Stamp Camp


This is the fun gift card holder we will be making at the Holiday Stamp Camps.
What a fun way to give a gift card, don't you agree? Also good as a "stocking stuffer."

Tags from Holiday Stamp Camp


These are the tags we will be making at the Holiday Stamp Camps that I am holding on November 20th and December 11th. We will be making 2 each of them. I used the stocking builder punch and the pennant punch for these tags. Don't you just love the tiny jingle bell on the stocking? I had to use a needle threader to get the baker's twine through the top hole. :-)
If you would like to join me for one of the camps, just let me know. We will be making 8 cards (2 each of 4 designs), 4 tags (2 each of 2 designs) and a gift card holder. I will post a few more sneak peeks over the next few days to entice you! The fee for the camp is $25.

Demonstrator Stamp 'n Chat Card


Here is my card from last evening's demonstrator stamp 'n chat. I got the idea for this cute matryoshka girl from a talented demonstrator on Stampin' Connection. It uses the large oval punch, the owl builder punch, and the 1 inch circle punch. I used the Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series paper for both the girl's dress as well as the background (3 x 3" square). It is mounted on Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I also used Chocolate Chip cardstock for the head scarf, Basic Black textured cardstock for the hair, and Very Vanilla cardstock for the face. I used markers to draw the facial features. Don't you just love the shine of the Cherry Cobbler quilted satin ribbon? The Merry Christmas stamp is from the Hand-Penned Holidays set embossed in gold.

Ronald McDonald House Thanksgiving Cards





Here are the choices that the family members had for our event yesterday. We had a great group! I think the colder, rainy weather kept more people inside and ready for something fun!
It is always super when we have a lot of family members who join us!

Happy Birthday card for a Special Friend


This is a card that I made for a Special Friend's birthday. I purchased a new pear die and I think it works really well on this card. I hope she will like it!
