Cute little Christmas Card

Okay, I admit it, I went a little overboard on the ribbon on this card, I guess I was just in the mood.  I love this adorable little stamp, he is from Kanban. I just didn't feel like traditional Santa colors for him.
I used my Copics to color him.  The patterned paper is from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses line.

I would like to enter this little card in some challenges.

The Pixie Cottage Challenge 45

Yes, I know it is about time post something that I made myself! LOL!
I just did not get the best pictures of this card, but I will post it anyway.
It was made using a digital stamp called Pumpkin & Pie from Precious Stamps by Lisa
This was made for the design team at The Pixie Cottage Challenge Blog
I used a Spellbinders die Big Scalloped Circle to cut the image and mat.  One of my recent favorite border punches from Martha Stewart's collection..Scalloped Dot, the papers are Bazzill cardstock and the pattern paper from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop Collection.  I printed the sentiment out on my computer, and of course I used my Copic markers to color the image.

I wanted to enter this card in a few challenges.

It is the perfect time for gift bags!

Michelle Philippi brings the perfect touch to her gift bags.  Perhaps you saw this one on my store home page already?
Do you see those gorgeous roses?  They are call Love Letter Roses and are made by Prima, of course!  I can just imagine the goodies that Michelle puts in her gift bags.
Now this cutie was made using the Labels 15 Spellbinders die and Basic Grey's Jovial line of Paper!
Now this last one is my favorite. It is just so classic.
It also has some wonderful holiday paper from Basic Grey, and you have to  stop by Michelle's blog to read the sentiment, which is right on the mark.
You have to admit Michelle has a way of making a gift bag something special, doesn't she.  Hope she was able to give you some ideas!
Have a wonderful week!
Michelle (the other one! LOL!)

What Time Is It? It's Katie time.......

This will surely be a favorite of all Magnolia Stamp fans!
Katie has designed this sweet clock, and she couldn't have done a nicer job.
The good news is you all can make one too, with you own special touches, and rather inexpensively I might add!

First of all, this clock comes from Kaisercraft's Beyond the Page line and is ready for your embellishments, requiring only simple assembly!
You can use some Tilda stamps from your stash, or for that matter your very own pictures of your family, pet or friends. (I am thinking this would make a great Christmas gift)  Now Katie went all out on this and used a decorative edge punch from Martha Stewart that can be found HERE, in addition she used a Spellbinders Beaded Circle die for the middle of the clock.  You can see all the special little touches she added, such as the prima flowers.
This photo shows how dimensional this clock is, with all the recessed areas for photos or embellishments.
If you haven't been by Katie's blog before, stop by and take a look you wont be sorry you did!
Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

A Calendar from Cheryl!

Okay, I told you I would be back with some more fantastic projects. Toldays project was made by Cheryl Walker.  If you haven't seen her work before you are in for a treat.  I am doing my best to keep my blog updated with lots of inspiration from the talented ladies on my design team.
Isn't this the sweetest calendar?  The perfect addition/inspiration for any craft room.
She used one of the new Spellbinders, in addition she used a Pixie Cottage Stamp by Sandra Hammer called April with Hearts and of course you see the lovely little prima flowers.

Now of course that is just one page from her calendar, you will have to stop by her blog to see the rest!

Stop back later this weekend, while we are on the subject of time I have an adorable clock to show you!!!

Some Beautiful Projects

First, I must say I did not make this. In the next couple of days I will have some of the most fantastic projects for you to look at, but I cannot take credit for them.  The gals that made these are members of the design team.
First, I have one by the ever so talented Janiel
I was just awestruck by this lovely "cake" she made for a friend of her sons.  For more detail and close ups please stop by her blog.  HERE
I really think this looks like something you would find on a cover of a wedding magazine.  Just so lovely. 
She used some lovely prima flowers that you can find HERE
What I love is that this actually opens up and holds keepsakes. (that and I love how Jan actually put it on a cake plate, she doesn't miss a detail, does she?)
Stop by in the next few days to see some more eye candy!
Have a great night!
