CHRISTMAS MEDALLION

I love the Medallion background stamp- all year long!

Don't you love supplies that you can use that way? I do.

It's almost time to pull out the Christmas stamps and move them "out of the way" although I'm thinking it might be fun to make a Christmas card a month, just for this blog. Say, the 25th of each month.

Any thoughts?

QUICK CHRISTMAS CARD

A punch out, a little embossing, a little stamping, some foam tape, a little gold cord and quick as a blink you have another Christmas card.

Enjoy the day!

ONE BIG ORNAMENT!

How big? Five and one half inches wide- that's how big!

The top photo is with a flash, the bottom one is without. You get a better idea of the colours without the flash So, for someone who was feeling a little 'done' with all the vintage stuff around, I went a little to the vintage zone. I blame it on the chunky glass glitter- it cries our for vintage-y, and yes, that's a word. (my word anyway)

My other words are- have a wonderful day!

LAST CARD CAMP FOR 2010

Okay, as promised, the cards from the last card camp this year. Hope you like them.

I loved spending time with all of you who came out to the card camps. Believe me, I learn lots from all of you too- it's never just me telling you guys what to do. I bet it feels like that to you though :)

Thank you to all of you! I appreciate the support and I take very seriously the confidence you have in me.

Enjoy the coming days. May they be filled with glitz and sparkle, warmth and contentment.

O CHRISTMAS TREE - UPCYCLED

More Thrift Store finds- a beat up foam tree and little jars and baggies of broken jewellery. Add a good tacky glue and the result is this Christmas tree decoration. Not to everyone;s taste I'm sure, but I love it!

Here it is a little closer and turned a bit.

Time consuming? Yes, but the evenings are spent watching tv so the hands keep busy. I have a couple smaller cones, er, 'trees' that I hope to get to soon.

Next up, the cards we did at the card camp last Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by!

THIS 'N THAT ORNAMENTS

Chipborad and dies, paper and ink, recycled silk flowers and ribbon, glue and glitter, a bit of time and you have a few additions for the tree.

Again, sorry about photo quality here.

These ornaments could  have just as easily  been cards or tags.

Three weeks until Christmas Day- really!

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking in.

DASHAWAY DASHER

The Dasher stamp is a favourite- I'm sure you've seen it pop up all over the web. My plan here was to use Certainly Celery cardstock since I seem to have a ton of it! This is okay but not "it". It needs more contrast, or a whole lot less of the green. Ah well- back to the drawing board.

Have a terrific day!
