Our Tessa

Who is not to love this face? This is my princess soak up all the sun she can kitty, unless I am stamping and she is happy sitting under the warm light playing with a piece of ribbon or a marker or getting her tail in the glue.....oh yes, that is my baby.

My Family

My favorite times are when Braydon comes home to for holidays. However, this trip home was short, we treasured every minute with him. Brit said she was bruised from wrestling with her older, much stronger brother....We wish all visiting my blog a Very Happy New Year!!!

McKenzie Waiting for Santa to Call

It doesn't show in the photo, but her paw is wrapped around the phone. What a dog!!!

Zebra Goodies

This is a zebra goodies package from my husband's secretary for my birthday. The larger piece has a spinner underneath it so it turns all the way around. The box is tea bags and the rest you can see, I think. Love the zebra pen and it is embellished no less.

Kids Treats

Holiday test tubes for a classroom of 30

Gift Tags again...

Just another version of the gifts tags I made with this stamp....and the Ho Ho Ho one.

Purses and Coffee Cards

These are little holiday purses used as gift bags for coffee cards. I got this pattern from Becky @ inkingidaho.blogspot.com and now that I have made a couple they sure are fun. Key to remember is use heavier paper and double sided. Wouldn't a teacher think you were the best getting one of these?

On the front page!!!!

My wonderful kids are on the front page of Clark Martin's new letter, how exciting is that?

Gift Card

This is a gift card I made using the Big Shot die cut as my envelope. The tag just slides out the end.

Cookbook

This is a cookbook I made for my mom for her birthday. I have missed placed the name of this scrapbook paper, but I think it was Teresa Collins. It is a 12X12 piece of paper with the recipe words and I just added and embellished where I felt it needed a little something more. I also used ribbon and the bind it all and scallop punch.

Chocolates

Something other than nuggets in a tin. Tell if you know where these came from....Great gift for girl friends or neighbors.

Candycane Cocoa

I made these a few years ago and they were easy and cute, I made some more up this year. Of course the cocoa package is so cute too. Oh and I used up last years paper....

Happy Birthday to me!

This package arrived in the mail for my birthday from a wonderful friend.....She has so much talent and is so creative. I love seeing packages in the mail and can't wait to get them opened up to see what she has been up to these days. Gotta love the zebra print even more!!!!

Twirp Placement Cards

We hosted Twirp ( the formal dance where the girl invites the guy) Dinner for our daughters Senior Year at West High. I knew I had to have something stamped everyone would expect it right. So I printed these on raised business card and stamped them with zebra stripes. They were the perfect touch to each place setting.

Becky

Meeting Becky at Convention was best part of Convention 2008!!!!! CF card has been missing since in the move.....so these photos were really fun to view so many months later!!!!

Grrrreat Under the Stars

Ok when they demonstrated this set at Convention I know I had to have it!!!! This little bear is so cute and fun to work with. I put him around a candle and on a box of chocolates that was invested with mosquitoes. He is "hiding" behind a "bush" made with the scallop punch....

Sweet Treats

This is right out of the Mini Catalog with minor changes to make it my own. I thought you'd get tired of tags, so I changed it up, but there are more tags coming. I was waiting for the Big Shot punch to arrive for the top of the bag (green) and it was back ordered so I have had to make due. I also thought of putting "Meet me under the Mistletoe" would be cute to add to this with Hershey Kisses instead....so if that happens i will post that one as well.....

There IS a Santa Claus!

Sorry this is blurring....but it was cute enough to share. Rather than putting "to and from" and just left plenty of room to write your message.....and we are not done with tags....have you had enough?

Package of Blue

This is with the large scallop and last years Punch Pals layered and again that gold gel pen.....

Tag Me

This is out of the same set that the Santa is from and the stars are yet another Big Shot diecut. It too has the gold gel pen highlights, but I am not sure you can see it...there is more..... visit tomorrow!

More tags

Is he so cute? This is using the big snowflake for the Big Shot and the scallop circle punch. The gold gel pen added some details to make these "WOW"..... Write to and from on his beard gives you plenty of room....these are also priced to sell for the same, 8 for $10....wait to visit tomorrow for more....

Gift Tags

I am working on holiday gift tags and enjoying it you'll notice because you'll see several posted over the next days. This was a $1 Michaels stamp and I raised it off the paper with SU holiday paper from last year.....this years paper is still coming. I used a gold gel pen to add some "wow". They also have dimensional on the back for easy attachment. I am selling these tags in gift bags of 8 for $10.

Fall

This is just a fall card I made for a friend. The image is embossed with caulk but it is not showing in the photo.

Holiday Lineup

Holiday Lineup has started...This is the cutest snowman set and fun and easy to color. I also ran the Bordering Blue paper and the patterned paper through the Big Shot with my Cuttlebug embossed image of snowflakes. I love the texture it gives it. The reindeer I used my Primacolor pencils and Mineral Spirits along with the SU markers. I especially like the greeting from Hear from the Heart as well. I am making several different cards this holiday season. So check back and see what is in store.
