Yay … I finally started!

This past weekend was a self made long weekend … I took a much needed day off work and it was fabulous! It was a nice, relaxing day filled with the smell of double fudge cookies baking in the oven. I decided to use the rare bit of free time I have to start working on my Christmas cards … I wanted at least to have them started before December arrived.

I had an idea in mind, but wasn’t sure how it would turn out. I have to admit that I’m thrilled with the final card … it’s better than I had hoped!

So far I’ve only made a dozen …

and have about 2 dozen more to go. Hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze a few moment in a day to work on them … ‘cause they need to be in the mail in the next week or so.

*fingers crossed*

Materials list:

  • kraft card stock - Papertrey Ink
  • Dasher stamp, ink & rhinestones – Stampin’ Up!
  • Holiday Trinkets stamp – CTMH
  • Wonderful Winter patterned paper – My Mind’s Eye

Thanks for stopping by.

It’s here!

Yeah, it’s finally here. I’ve been wanting one for a while now, but it’s not available here in Canada. So, I finally found a deal that couldn’t be beat …

Big Shot

I’m super excited … not only is it pink, but there’s rhinestones on it too!

I’m hoping to have a few more posts soon with some of the projects I’ve been working on … thanks for stopping by!

New Goodies

I just ordered one of the new collections from Sassafras … Indie Girl. This will be my very first ‘wee bundle’ and embellies from them as a lot of their other collections weren’t really my style … I’m not a real ‘in your face’ kinda person when it comes to bold, bright colours. But, for some reason, this new collection has caught my attention. I hope you’ll have a look and check it out for yourself.
