Christmas 2017

I love this little fellow.  Is he an elf ?  A gnome?   Just too cute, and I do quite like this embossing technique.  Who wouldn't like to receive a silver foil box, what could possibly be inside.

As you can see I have not been able to post to either the family blog or my crafting blog.  

But now we are back and operational.

HAPPY  NEW  YEAR   

Birthday Card for that Guy in your Life.

Yep, he likes fishing...but I also wanted something to remind us of camping around Lake Wenatchee, Washington, or even Cottage Lake where we once lived.  And lets not forget the huge cedar trees that surrounded our house in Woodinville, Washington.

Lots of memories.

Christmas 2017

I love these pizza boxes, so many design ideas and who doesn't need gift tags at Christmas.

Make and Take Christmas Cards 2017

Similar in design, but with a few changes two very different looks.  2017

Happy Halloween 2017

B O O...

My original thought was to make a votive candle holder in the shape of a black metal lantern.

I love the cute cat punched from SU Halloween Designer Series Paper.

Clear tiny treat boxes (141699) form the box and Basic Black cardstock outlines the lantern shape.

Images were stamped on the clear boxes before assembly.

As you can see the idea is there, but I need to tweak some of the steps to streamline the process.

Quick and Unique Gifts for anytime.

  

Oh I loved the little dear, but the relaxing Adirondack chair wins it for me.  

Add a cushion, cherry blossom, even a summer drink.  Quick, personal little add-on for the gift giving season. 

Christmas is coming....

Thank you Pinterest for the inspiration to stamp onto a jar.

I love finding uses from everyday items.  Here is a pasta sauce jar re-purposed into a votive holder.

I've stamped - well rolled really, 'Deck the Halls' stamp from Stampin' Up Christmas catalogue, stamped in Staz On then heat dried with the heat tool.

Add this lush black and white striped wire edged ribbon, silver Christmas bauble, Lemon Lime Twist ribbon, and gorgeous pine accent.

Coffee Cafe - Ooh I love this bundle.

From tags, cards and coasters, so many different uses.

This card has a gift card slide in envelope. 

Crumbcake, Early Espresso, co-ordinating DSP, tied together with copper ribbon.

Post-it pads.  Quick, useful gifts.  What a versatile suite.
