This Way to the North Pole

I am simply amazed at all the cute cards I have seen by Lynda Lee using the XL Two Step Owl Punch. I actually had made this card before Glenda gave us our 'owl punch challenge' and I gave this cute little penguin card to our grand daughter Gracie for Christmas. The kids love it when they get a special card just for them.

What a cute little penguin!!

Christmas Cards

I didn’t dare count how many Christmas cards I am sending out this year, but this gives you a little idea. (by the time I thought to take a picture I had already delivered the Christmas cards to people at church.)

The Step Card in this photo is what I made for our daughter Julie and her husband Jeremy. Credit for this one also goes to Dawn Griffiths. Check her site on the instructions how to make the step card.

Then check out this cute bear from the Cold and Cuddly Stamp Set. Credit for this card also goes to Dawn Griffith and it uses the rolling marble technique. I had so much fun doing this technique, and it is so easy I sent this bear card to some college age friends and my special ‘Birthday Buddy’, Kaitlyn. Very special girls in my life.

This Snowman card was a “one and only” because of the detail, but when I saw it on Andrea’s site I knew I just had to make it for our two sons. (and I didn't mind devoting an entire afternoon to it) I can just picture all the winters when they were young, playing in the snow together. This could be their last Christmas at the same address as Joey is hoping to take advantage of the ‘first time homeowner’ tax break. Click here to see how Andrea created her snowman card. I give her all the credit because I totally cased her idea.

This fun ‘smore snowman was for my grandson Tyler who LOVES to eat ‘smores. I also sent it to our friends, Jan and Dennis Deters, who spend their summer camping, and I am sure, eating their fair share of ‘smores around the campfire. Jan is also a hot cocoa addict so I couldn’t resist making this for them as well. Credit for this one goes to Marie. I am so thankful for all these inventive gals who come up with such fun ideas I can copy.

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Hot Chocolate

Here is another treat that I will sell at Hudsonville High School’s Craft Sale. I sold out of another style of hot chocolate treat called “Snowman Soup” and silly me, forgot to take a picture of it. I wanted to change it up and make this one that I saw on Dawn Griffith’s blog. Click here to view her video on how to assemble this cute packet made from an envelope. And how about some SNOWMAN POOP to go along with that nice hot mug of cocoa?

More Swaps

Here are two more swaps that we received at Thursday nights meeting. The cute card was made by Julie and she sent hers in the mail so that was fun to get.  I just love finding special things in my mailbox don’t you?  Sure does beat finding bills in there.  I love all the Build A Bear stuff in the Holiday Mini.  When I saw this set I knew I had to have it. Now I have one more idea to use it for.  Thanks Julie!

This second was one was made by Emily.  I just love how she takes things like this gel candle and makes it special.  And I love the stamp set with the little penguin from the Holiday Mini called Cold and Cuddly.  I know I will be making some fun cards with that set!
