More Christmas fun...




So I have been having fun making little Christmas planners and covering little list pads. Here are a few of the outcomes....



Here is one of my favorites...the picture is kinda bad...it is brown and green...


Snowflakes seem to be my favorite..

Christmas Cards...











So I am trying to figure out which one to use....and I don't think I am done playing around just yet. I also discovered a new store....archivers....NOT GOOD! That store is awesome. I think I had heard of it but I finally went in....it is super fun!!

Happy Friend Cards....




Bit of an update....

So it isn't that I have not been in my craft room...it is that I am a BAD blogger. My small camera broke, well the battery doesn't work, ordered a battery, doesn't keep a charge, ordered a new battery. I didn't realize how much I use it I guess!

Anyway, here are some of the things I have been working on for fall. I must say that Fall and Thanksgiving are really getting lost in the rush for Christmas!

Yeah Something NEW!!!

It took me awhile! It has been kind of a crazy fall. But it is time for a VERY IMPORTANT Birthday! Addison will be two!! Here are the photos of her birthday announcements! I had fun doing them but it got to be a bit more involved than I thought they would be. I think they turned out okay...what do you think??

Congrats Card!!


Here is the card to go with the other stuff....I had some Jolees stickers so I used those and in the background is watermarked "WFD" (Willmar Fire Department). It turned out okay I think. Thanks Case for the help!!

Quick Little Project




I have found that I LOVE to make these little notebook holders. They are fun, quick and super easy. Here is the most recent one! It is a gift for a friend (I am sure you know who you are...sorry I spoiled the surprise:)) This particular notebook came from Hobby Lobby (Addi's favorite store to talk about "obbylobby")
That is all for now..Wishing you all a happy week!!!


Inside folders...


Hey Karen....so good to hear from you! Here is the picture that you requested of the inside folders! Basically what I did was take a 81/2 X11 and trim it down, fold it, sticky strip the bottom, cut an angle and use the punch from stampin up...super easy! I forgot to mention that it has a cute little bookmark with a jingle bell on the bottom!! Geez, I am already getting excited for Christmas!!!

Christmas in July!!



Hey there! This is a book that I have been working on recently. I can't believe that I am doing something Christmas themed before November but hey...at least this way I can use it!! And I saw the paper at Hobby Lobby and was inspired! It is a holiday shopping planner! I bought the book at Michaels ($1) and recovered it. I made little folders for the inside to hold gift receipts and such. I thought it turned out pretty cute!
