It has come to my attention that my post on Nov. 12, was cut off and the part about "send me an e-mail to let me know you checked out my blog" was not listed. I am not sure why as I know that I typed it. However, it is possible that I could have saved the post and then edited it and sent out the original one --- don't remember that, but I guess anything is possible. Either way, I apologize!

So with that said, let's give it another try. Send me a comment on e-mail to let me know that you are reading my blog for some blog candy. Yummy! The winner will receive something from me from the New Mini Occasions Catalog when it comes out. Trust me, you don't want to miss this opportunity as the products are fabulous. I should be able to give you a sneak peek on December 12, at our next class! I will draw the name on Saturday morning and there will be no post tomorrow (but I will have one on Saturday morning) since I will be busy preparing for the fundraiser event tomorrow. Enjoy!

Christmas Greetings

Good Evening All. I apologize for the late post. Another day that has gotten away from me! Our featured card for today was not created by me and I wish I could give the proper person credit. However, they did not include their name on the back of it when I received it during a SWAP at my meeting on Saturday.

Set: Grateful Greetings (I can't find my mini catalog, but I am
quite sure it is from that)
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black, and Only
Orange
Ink: Basic Black and Basic Black Marker

Dazzling Diamonds, Jumbo Snowflake Punch, and a triangle was cut for the nose.

Valentine Treat Holder

Good Morning All. I was B-A-D...I forgot to post our winner yesterday! I guess now you know how busy my day was! See winner details below.

Our featured project this morning is a Valentine gift holder. We are actually going to be making this project (however it will be a Christmas theme) at our next class on December 12. You can put in snack size candy (I grabbed whatever I could find this morning), a gift card, jewelry, and the possibilities are just endless. Also, I just love how you can use this for any holiday depending on how you dress it up. Enjoy!

Question of the day...how many of you would be interested in a Mommy and me class for Valentine's Day? We would be making Valentine's for them to give away. Cute little cards/projects like this. Please let me know so that I can start preparing now. It would be held in January. Thanks.

Our winner of blog candy (will be receiving something from me from the new Mini Occasions Catalog) is ... Sandy Dayhoff. Check back in with me tomorrow to see more new ideas!

Quilted Card

Good Evening All. I am posting a day early since I will be out the door early tomorrow morning. However, I will still be posting tomorrow evening (Monday) with our winner from the last blog post.

The featured Quilted Card will be made at our next class on December 12. You don't want to miss this one. This is quite an interesting and quaint looking card. Please join us on Saturday, December 12, as we make this; as well as, 4 other projects. The class fee is $10. Don't forget to e-mail me that you will be coming. RSVP by Saturday, November 21. Enjoy!

Patterned Pines Card Kits

Good Morning All. I am just loving this Patterned Pines set. Although if I stamp this card again (which I am planning on doing for some SWAPS), I think I will stamp the trees a little higher so that there is not so much white space in between. Also, I am going to play around and see how it will look if I put the white piece through an embossing folder after I stamp it. I think it will add a little pizzazz to it too. I have these kits available...if interested, let me know how many you would like. Enjoy!

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay and Whisper White

Accessories: Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Vintage
