Come Stamp With Me!

OCTOBER!!!
The Designer Series Paper was a BIG HIT during September.
As much as I tried and as much as you all tried to help me out, I was not able to achieve the Incentive Trip to Maui - *sigh*
Well, I will give it a try for next year and this time it will be a Caribbean Cruise! I would love that one too!! I'm even taking some training - we will see if that helps

In the mean time - I am compiling all of the names of everyone who placed an order in October and picking a name for someone to win the FREE HOSTESS STAMP SET.

M&M Christmas

Assembly Line style is the way to go when you are making projects for the Craft Sales.  Here I did all my stamping and embossing at the same time.  I embossed Baby Jesus with the retired Early Espresso Embossing Powder, and the star in Gold Embossing Powder.

 I found the cute little jars in the wedding section of Michaels and I filled them with M&M's.  Then I printed out the M&M Christmas Poem for the inside.

M&M Christmas Poem

As you hold these candies in your hand

And turn them, you will see

The ‘M’ becomes a ‘W’,

An ‘E’, and then a ‘3’.

They tell the Christmas story~

I’m sure it’s one you know.

It took place in a stable

A long, long time ago.

The ‘E’ is for the East,

Where the star shone so bright.

The ‘M’ is for the Manger,

Where the Baby Jesus slept at night.

The 3’’ is for the Wisemen,

Bearing gifts, with which they came.

‘W’is for Worship,

Hallelujah! Praise His Name!

So as you eat these candies

Or share them with a friend,

Remember the meaning of Christmas:

It’s a love that never ends.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Greetings From Friends

We had a fun Christmas Day that started with my hubby making a yummy breakfast for us and my parents, and then a leisurely day until we joined up with two of our kids for a late lunch early supper (lupper as our kids say), and to play games together.  Tyler and Gracie each got an ipod for Christmas so they were busy on those - Gracie is our 7 yr old computer whiz and constantly amazes us.

 Tyler also played a Wii game with his uncle Jeff - guess who won??

We had a simple make-your-own-sandwich buffet and I made these cookies to go along with our "lupper" - as Stampin' Up! Demonstrators we not only share our card ideas and layouts we occasionally share recipe ideas.  I saw this cookie idea on Lorri Heiling's blog.

 Lorri called it an Arizona snowman, but here in Michigan we are still waiting for snow so I guess this could be a Michigan snowman too.  I just thought it was so cute.  I used purchased sugar cookie dough (yes, I know, I cheated) and then the melted snow part is simply a powdered sugar glaze that sets up.  The rest I used my cake decorating frosting.

This year we played a new game that was a lot of fun called Say Anything, and then, of course, a rousing game of Apples to Apples.  How fun to laugh with your family, and just enjoy time together.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well. Now I will share with you the hand stamped Christmas cards that I/we received this year...

 This one is from a former day care family.  I love getting updated photos of my "kids"

 From Chris and Peggy, friends ever since our boys were born close together.

 From Carla, one of my dear friends in my down line

 Another down line gal, Donna made this cute snowman card.

From Debbie, a sweet gal who comes to classes and faithfully comes to my craft sales

 From Sarah who in in the Red Hot Stampers groups with me

 From Maggie another stamping friend in the Red Hot Stamper group

From Rachel my play day buddy and fellow Red Hot Stamper

 From Becky, my pen pal and dear friend since I was 12 years old, and now she is in my down line
I love how she put this cute little bird inside the card

From Sue, a dear friend, cousin by marriage, and was my first recruit in my Stampin' Up! downline

 This is from Judy, another Red Hot Stamper!  I LOVE how she duplicated the Christmas postage stamp that the PO sold this year. Didn't she do a great job!!

 From Lois, Linda and Bev who are faithful attenders of my Stamp A Stack classes

And last but not least - this one is from Glenda, the fearless leader of the Red Hot Stampers.  I just love getting these hand stamped cards.

Gum Holders

 Why have a boring pack of gum in your purse when you can carry one

of these fun Holiday themed creations?!

I had a few of the Mentos UP2 gum and made them a Halloween theme

using the tags from the  Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit in the Holiday Mini

#126914 $7.95

but what I really love is how these Christmas themed ones turned out.

The COME TO BETHLEHEM (left) was stamped with StazOn ink

so I didn't have to worry about the ink smearing when I did the sponging,

but on the FIRST CHRISTMAS (right) I wanted to have the baby Jesus in 

a warm Chocolate Chip color.  The words are in Midnight Muse and I knew that

both of those would smear, so thankfully I had the new style ink pads that

 allow you to heat emboss as long as you do it quickly.

I stamped both the creche and the words then put clear embossing powder on 

both and heat embossed it and it went perfectly fine.  

The star was stamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed with 

gold embossing powder.  

A simple 1 1/4" circle punched out of a post it note stuck over 

the stars while I sponged created the lovely moon glow.

A little Basic Rhinestone in the center of the stars give it the extra "bling" effect!

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have a Blessed Day!!
