Simply Scored Ornament

on Oct 29th 2011

Wouldn't this look great on your tree or as a tag to top off a special package?

I used the Simply Scored tool to make it – scoring every 1/2".  Love the little extra scalloped edge.  I'm busy in my stampin' spot creating ideas for upcoming classes.  Make sure you reserve your spot!   Today is the holiday card buffet and my guests should be arriving shortly – can't wait for the fun to begin!

Blessings!

A few more. . .

on Oct 27th 2011

Here's a few more holiday cards to tempt your creative bug.  Come check them out on Saturday at the Holiday Card Buffet!

I love the simple look with Vanilla and Gold.  Both of these cards use embossing – if you look closely at the second card, you'll see that the rhinestones are not in the same color we sell in the catalog. . . . want to know how to make them in any color you want?  Hint:  it involves a marker.

I started on my annual coaster calendars last night . .. . a couple of months done.  The dilemma every year is how many to make – Mary at MDK sells them like hot cakes – I hope that 30 will make it! 

Blessings!

Christmas in October?

on Oct 25th 2011

I had a little time to play last weekend. . . . and tried to post but, accidently deleted it prior to getting it posted – which caused a little frustration on my part – and I gave up!  So, back to the creations. . . . I was experimenting with holiday cards for my Holiday Card buffet on Saturday – there's still room if you are interested!  Check back this week and if you are coming let me know which cards you want to make!

So what do you think of the first 4?  From the top left we have Build a Blossom, Dasher, Merry Winter and Festive & Fun.  The fun starts at 9am – let me know if you are interested! 

 

Blessings!
