Upcoming Workshop Projects

I have a workshop on Dec 1st and because of Thanksgiving I need to get it all ready to go. I am a last minute girl and should have had this well planned out before now! I spent the morning on SCS looking for idea's as the girls wanted to make something other then just cards, which is okay, but I have to take in consideration the "time factor"!

I decided on the snowman kisses using the TicTacs (cased)as it is so cute, a photo wallet that I had previously made for myself and a card I cased from here I LOVE this idea and had so much fun making it, though I smeared my ink and will have to redo it, not a tragedy as it was fast, fun and rewarding!

The photo wallet, the pictures of the little girls, well they are 14 and 16 now!!

Believe!

I bought this stamp several years ago and decided to finally use it! Its from All Night Media and I just love these animals...they make me wonder what they are looking at...Santa pehaps? I decided the sentiment "Believe" would be perfect for them. I used various watercolor pencils and the SU blender pen for this one. The Ribbon is soooooooo yummy, its from the SU mini Catty, you get this scrumpous stripe and 2 rolls of a brown felt ribbon. I hope they put this in the new catty! I used the MS punch for the branches, red DS paper is from SU mini also, called Ski Slope......ink and card base are Kiwi Kiss.

Snowy Friday at the Cabin!

This is the same photo like I took on Monday, just to show how much snow we got last night thru this morning!

These are our steps going up to the garage from the cabin. Looks like "someone" needs to shovel!

We got our next winter blast as predicted. It is snowing buckets right now and I have to laugh, as I have our local news on and they are saying "scattered snow showers"....they need to be here! We live off of Lake Michigan and this is what they call "Lake Effect". Anytime we hear those words we all cringe as we know we will get "dumped" on. We are lucky though as our schools are still open,, about 15 miles North, West and South of here they are closed. Not that they can't handle the snow, its just the secondary roads that get impassable, and as Michigan is broke, the snow plowing is not what it used to be. Tonight it is to be 7 degree's, but we have rain predicted for Thanksgiving with a high temp of 47.......thats Michigan life!

Christmas Tags

These are my tags I made for "Anything But A Card " swap I am in using products from the Stampin'Up! Holiday Mini. I use the SU exclusive Top Note die a lot, and have 2 more projects for the swap that I can use this die for! If you would like to purchase one, you can contact me, as I am a SU demo. and can order one for you. They are only $21.95 plus shipping and tax. I think it has to be the best money I have spent in a long time!! Anywho, back to the tags, I made 6 of each one. The Joy one I cut apart Join In The Cheer Strip Die, Rudolph is a Sizzix die Ipurchased at JoAnn's. The little tags with the stars are from the ornament kit in the Holiday mini! The snowflakes are from the mini catty also. Click on the photo for a better "peek"! The DS paper, Imight mention is called Ski Slope from SU!
