Another Christmas Gift

Just another little something for someone special embellished with my Stampin Up! supplies.

My Basic Grey Wassil Wreath

I cut these mitten die cuts out at POTP back in February and finally got around to making my Wassil wreath tonight to match my Karen Foster advent calendar that I made last for last Christmas lol

A Few More Handmade Christmas Gifts

I can't remember where I saw this ornament, but I can't take credit for it as I made a couple last year and loved them so much I wanted to make a few more as gifts this year. These ones are a little different, I added a couple of my own tweeks, the embossed scallop for example and glimmer mist.

Above is a little Post It Note holder and a festive bookmark for some holiday reading. I used all my Stampin Up! supplies for these projects.

Handmade Christmas Gifts

Here's a couple gifts I made for Christmas this year. I absolutely LOVE my new Stampin Up! bird punch!

The snowflake below is an ornament that I will tie some ribbon on so it can be hung on a tree or just as a decoration. I received this as a Secret Santa gift, our should I say, I stole this from Gina when we had our annual Secret Santa tradition at our Scrapaholics Crop (sorry Gina, I just had to have it! lol). It's the coolest stamp! You stamp the image several times and then cut out layers and pop dot them together creating a beautiful three dimensional image. I embossed mine and added a little glitter and bling.

This Year's Hallowe'en Layout I did at Timberline

This year, you and your friend Johanna decided to dress up as half boy and half girl. You designed your costumes entirely on your own. When I asked you what you guys were going to be, you simply responded "Goys". What a riot! lol

A Few More Layouts from Timberline

I loved Stacey Cohen's layout using the Fancy Pants Summer Soiree line and had to case her layout using the transparency and my dew drops. I can't get enough of these little dew drops! They're sooooo pretty and add that perfect little touch to any layout.

Some Christmas Cards...

I've been making Christmas cards and having fun with my Stampin Up supplies. As always love the way everything coordinates! Thanks for stopping by.

Timberline Retreat Scrappin

Once again, my friend Diane, put on a fabulous weekend retreat up at Timberline Ranch. I've already started my count down for the next one. Several of us Scrapaholics attended and we had such a great time! I stayed up till 4:30 am scrappin both Friday and Saturday night. Sue F and Iris kept me company and I'm impressed with their stamina lol Thanks so much for a super fun time Diane. I really had a blast! Here are a few of the layouts I completed while I was there. Thanks for stopping by!

Bright and Cheery Christmas Card

I love using unconventional colours at Christmas time. For this one I used my Copics and Stampin Up! DSP and Bashful Blue CS with the cutest little Elzybells stamp. Thanks for looking.

Christmas Tag

I have been going stir crazy being in bed and having so little energy that today I just had to try to at least do a little crafting so I came up with my prototype for my girlfriend's Christmas tags. She runs her own business and wants to give out a little bag of cookies to all her customers and asked if I could design a little tag to attach to her packages. She will then just have to add her contact information on the back of the tag. These were super easy to make and I find the colouring quite relaxing. I'm using my copics and all Stampin Up products. One down, only 74 more to go...
