Customer spotlight Sunday

Since this week is Thanksgiving here in the United States I wanted to take this opportunity to show you a beautiful fall card before we head into the winter season. This lovely creation is brought to us by Lisa Hacker. Lisa used our fall arrangement digi for her card. The image is colored beautifully and I love the dimension on the flower and the bow!

Thank you Lisa for allowing us to share your wonderful creation!

Happy Saturday!

I have Christmas on my mind...as I'm sure most of you do as well!

I decided to make some wrapping paper and tags to match!

I love the look of kraft paper and bought a huge roll to wrap some gifts in.

I decided to use the snowman from the Primitive Christmas set

Happy weekend everyone!!!

You're my cup of cocoa!

You are, really! In fact, all of our customers and readers are my cup of cocoa :).

Are you ready for the holidays? Has the baking and shopping begun? I haven't quite gotten into the baking full swing, but I have been shopping :)....online shopping, that is :). I LOVE shopping from the comfort of my home with a nice cup of coffee OR cocoa in hand and the Christmas music on shuffle :). Amazon loves me and probably knows me on a first name basis ;).

For my Cup of Cocoa card I used some of the yummy new Merry Christmas Echo Park papers we are carrying in sampler packs. I have to tell you, this paper is top notch! If you haven't grabbed some yet, I encourage you to head over to our website to grab some quick. Our quantities are selling fast!

Cocoa and I hope you have a fabulous weekend! We are looking forward to a day of stamping with some friends tomorrow. It's sure to be a great time! I'll be creating some fun samples using our NEW December digis.......yes, more Cocoa :)! Sneak peeks begin next week!

Blessings,

Blessings to you at Christmas

A Gift for Snowman

Well, Christmas is right around the corner. How many Christmas Cards do you have made? I love making cards with snowmen when I have lots to make because there is little coloring to them and they make up quickly.

I love hand stitching on my card and this stitch to me resembles snow flakes.
I glittered his body and used faux flowersoft for the snow.

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a Blessed Day!
