Another Scentsational Season

This two cup hot cocoa card was inspired by Christine Blain and it uses the Designer Paper Festival of Prints along with the stamp set Scentsational Season and Tags Til Christmas.  I love the look of the little "coasters" made with the Scallop Oval Punch and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I have totally fallen in love with the Gumball Green In-Color for 2012-14.  I'm so glad it is sticking around for two full years.  The Gumball Green Stitched Ribbon is so soft too and easy to use.

Now, I think I will go sit down with a book and a mug of steaming hot cocoa on a cold wintery day - What's your favorite flavor?  Mine is the White Chocolate.

Oh, wait...I love the regular milk chocolate and then I melt a soft candy cane stick in it.
Yeah - that's it!  

Oh, wait...I really like the milk chocolate with raspberry flavoring!

Yummmm....Now which one do I pick today??!!

Oh Wait... Well, I guess I just love them all - as long as there is no hint of coffee flavor - that would just totally ruin a good cup of hot cocoa

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have a Blessed Christmas Season!!

Warm Winter Wishes

A Big Thank You to my friend, Marla, who inspired the look of these

pretty winter gloves.  I had a bunch on hand but wanted to "doll them up"

for the craft sales.  Right off the bat she said they would be pretty with

 the new Clear Faceted Buttons "sewn" on them using the Cherry

Cobbler Bakers Twine.  BAM!!  She was Right!!

There is one of the largest size button on each cuff attached with

the Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine.  The tag I made was computer

generated but I did use the stamp set TAGS TIL CHRISTMAS

as a watermark with Wild Wasabi Ink behind the words. I'm hoping there 

is a pair left over for me to wear this winter!!

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have a Blessed Day!!

How Can I Say Thanks?

For a few weeks now I have been blessed to have my gal pals come and "play" and they are so sweet to help me with projects. We worked VERY hard on a HUGE order I had from our previous craft sale and I wanted to get them done and off my mind.

This is Rachel and Marla, busy slaving away on the craft sale items.

Here is a couple photos of items you will see at our booth

A little Thanksgiving treat


And a little Christmas treat


Did you know you can color your Basic Pearls #119247
and the Basic Rhinestones #119246
simply by using a Sharpie marker - color of your choice?
That is how I gave Rhudolph his shiny red nose.


These would make a great table favor for your guests
at your Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners

Have a Blessed Day!!
