24 Days of Christmas - Day 4!!

I'm a little late posting today. We cut our tree this morning and spent all day decorating our house and the tree! It looks great! I will post pictures soon.

Today's gem is fromVanessa - thank you so much Vanessa - this is so cute!

I love the way she created this snowman using SU! top note die. It's adorable and is filled with miniature candy canes which I love!

Stay tuned for day 5 tomorrow!

24 Days of Christmas - Day 3!!

Today was the day my gift got opened so I will show you some pictures. Also, my upline, Donna, prepared a gift for me to open on my day. However, if I post pictures of it now, I could ruin the surprise for the rest of my team mates so I will wait until December 24th to post. I will tell you this, it was a real gem!!

I purchased the instructions for making these great little gift boxes from Becky. She is one talented lady!

Enjoy! Oh by they way, I filled them with 3 chocolates each but I forgot to take a picture with the completed box AND the chocolates!!

24 Days of Christmas - Day 2!

Ohh, check this out, made by Janessa!

You could use it as a business card holder or a gift card holder. I love it! Thanks so much Janessa - your creativity never ceases to amaze me! Oh and she also made us some wonderful fudge which I ate before taking a picture - it was yummy! :-)

Stay tuned for tomorrow - it will be the gift that I made and another gift that I received from my wonderful Upline Donna!!!

24 Days of Christmas!

Our Artful Inker's team is doing a 24 days of Christmas swap. We each made 24 items and swapped with one another so that on each day in December we get to open a different homemade gift! How sweet is that!

Well today is day 1 and look what I got from Samantha!!! I just love the snowman, he's so darn cute and then inside was this beautiful Christmas star ornament. You can bet it will be hanging on my tree when I decorate it this weekend! Thanks so much Samantha.

Stop by again tomorrow for day 2's surprise!

What Have I Been Busy Doing????

Long time since I posted! I have been working on the Artful Inker's Christmas swaps. I made 24 of these and they don't look like much on the outside but the inside is quite nice if I do say so myself!!! It's taken a few weeks to finish them all but I'm pleased with the end result. Our dinner and exchange is this Thursday and I am looking forward to it!

Now that these are finished I can proceed with making my Christmas cards so stay tuned for more posts soon!

Sorry for the lousy picture but we are off to Toronto to do some shopping and see "Rock of Ages" so I am rushing here!

Happy Stamping,

Michelle

My New Craft Room

As promised, here are some pictures of my new craft room! I love it! Thanks to DH for all his help!

I still have some organizing to do - especially my paper but I will get to that after Christmas because I have so many projects on the go, I need to spend my time crafting right now!

Enjoy!

Missing in Action!

Hello Stampers!

I have spent the past week moving my craft room from the loft to our basement! 3 flights of stairs - argh! However, it was worth it because I have so much more room and I have a TV and a fireplace to boot! I will post pictures tomorrow!

Here is a Christmas card I made for a recent swap. The flower is made using a 7" piece of ribbon and gathering it with a needle and thread and tying it together - simple! I love this SU! snowflake embossing folder - it's so pretty!

Recipe: All supplies SU! Poppy Parade CS, Whisper White CS, pearls, snowflake embossing folder, scallop trim border punch, decorative strip - northern frost, scallop punch and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes!
