A Peak at a Few Projects I've been working on lately!

Here are a couple of cards I've made recently.  They are using a few retired stamp sets that I've had in my closet and just never had much time to play with.....

  So, I pulled them out the other day and got busy creating!  I cannot get enough of those Textured Impressions Embossing folders with the Big Shot! - can you tell??

This is a card I found on Dawn Olchefske's blog, dostamping.typepad.com.  It looked so simple and elegant I had to try it...  Another embossing folder, of course!  Can you see the Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the snowflakes??

Here are a couple of gift ideas for the holidays.  This one is another "nugget" holder, but this time we used two of the folded tags from the Two Tags die with the Big Shot and then attached a little box to hold them in on the inside of the folded tags.  I think they are super cute.  I learned how to make these at a Creative Convention I attended at the end of September this year.

These cute snow men are a punch art extravaganza!  We used the Ornament, Large Oval, Extra-Large Oval, 1/2" circle, Owl Builder, Bird Builder punches and then put a piece of licorise inside the 1x8" Cello bags from the Holiday Mini!  Aren't they adorable?

  I've been putting these extra cards and gift items together to have for sale at the Purple Pear in downtown Alma.  I'll be down at the Purple Pear next Friday, December 9 from 5:30-8:30pm in conjuction with Alma's "Come Home to Alma for the Holidays" event.  Stop in and see me and make a cute gift tag while you're there! Then stop by Carolyn's Cakes next door to decorate a cookie!  And visit the many other retailers that will be open late on Friday for this awesome holiday event!

Hope to see you soon!
