Living in Georgia it doesn’t really get that cold here – I like it that way. It’s cold already and getting colder. I suppose most of the country is the same. Here they are saying the coldest temps since 1986! Monday a low of 6 degrees – yikes! Ryan should be going back to school on Monday but I have a feeling they may not have it. I guess we shall see.
I realized I didn’t share this card earlier – it was actually one of my November Stamper’s Club projects! I completely forgot to take photos of the projects we made in November.
It’s actually pretty fitting to share this now – since it is so cold. It’s my telescoping snowman card! He is all twisted up to fit inside an envelope but when you stretch him out – he looks like this –
I used the Circle Framelits to make this fun card! And guess what – the Circle Framelits are part of the weekly deals this week – so you can get them for $20.21 – regular price is $26.95. And I used Bermuda Bay ink which is also on the weekly deals – $4.46 for the classic ink pad. To see all of this weeks deals or place an order – CLICK HERE.
Here are a few more notes about this card –
- Circle Framelits to create all 3 pairs of circles – Bermuda Bay/Whisper White, Real Red/Whisper White, Pool Party/Whisper White
- The bottom two sections were stamped with the Endless Wishes stamp set
- The buttons in the center are punched from Basic Black using the Itty Bitty Circle punch
- The nose is punched from Tangerine Tango using the Itty Bitty Ornament punch
- The eyes are rhinestones that were colored black with a sharpie
- The hat is a 1-1/4″ square punch with two corners rounded and a word window punch at the base – all in Basic Black.
- A piece of Real Red ribbon around the hat.
- A white flower is from the Boho Blossoms punch with a Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine bow added to the center of the flower.
- The arms are the retired snowflake punch.
- The circles are connected with the Silver Mini Brads.
Stay warm!!
Jan 3, 2014 | Occasions Catalog 2014, Stampin' Up! Events |
It’s a fun new catalog with lots of things to LOVE! I know my wish list for this one is really long. I got a handful of things in over the holiday (yes Demonstrators get to pre-order!) and have recently started playing. Sorry for not posting much on my blog. I did get some time today to take pictures of a few projects so I hope to get those on here in the next day or so. Plus I have to get out a January newsletter to my customers. And I’m finishing my prep for Stamper’s Club – that’s tonight and tomorrow morning. I probably didn’t mention this yet but I do have some exciting news to share!
Next week is the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference in Houston, TX. I leave Wednesday morning and on Thursday afternoon I am going to be one of the Share Fair Presenters! OMG! What was I thinking? I will try my best not to shake and turn bright red – but just so you know that is very likely to occur as I will be extremely nervous the whole time. I still have to finish preparing for my display board and go over my presentation a few more times. There is an on-site rehearsal as soon as I get to Houston on Wed. – I sure hope my flight isn’t late.
I still have lots to do for Leadership – like get some swaps ready including a shoebox swap, friend gifts, roommate gifts. Yikes! I better keep moving and not sit still until I get on that airplane next week.
You can start ordering from the new Occasions catalog by visiting my store – GO HERE.
Happy New Year!

Can you believe it’s the last day of 2013? Another year has come and gone – wow. I missed some days posting to my blog – shortly after Christmas Kyle got sick, then I got sick – I think a stomach bug. Today I’m feeling pretty good and trying to get some things done. Ryan had his wisdom teeth out right before Christmas (on Monday) and I took him back for a check up today and all was good. And then I booked flights for Kyle and I to go to San Francisco in January to look at places for him to live. He will be moving out there in February – I’m not sure I’m ready for that but I can’t keep it from happening either. I’m very grateful that he has this opportunity and I know he will enjoy his first job with Facebook.

Dec 23, 2013 | Christmas, Tags |
Are you finishing your Christmas wrapping or are you already done? If you are working on yours (like I am) here is an idea for some gift tags for you. I used the Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tag bundle for this project. I added a couple of other things to complete this project – a half-size wood mount stamp case, a piece of Season of Style Designer Series paper, some card stock and some Baker’s Twine. The project is a box packed full of gift tags….
I used a half-sized wood mount stamp case – insert a piece of the Season of Style Designer Series paper into the cover. The front is decorated with 1/2 of a top note tag that came in the Pop & Place Gift Tag booklet. I cut the letters TAGS with the Big Shot from Cherry Cobbler card stock and also stamped a couple of the images to add to the front.
Inside the case you’ll find a whole bunch of tags.
I used the tags in the Pop & Place booklet and the matching Photopolymer stamp set. Out of one booklet I was able to create 4 sets of the tags shown here.
- I added some Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler card stock and Baker’s Twine.
- The Crumb Cake tags are corner rounded with the Envelope Punch Board.
- The Cherry Cobbler tags are cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits.
Today I took Ryan to get his wisdom teeth out. He did good in the surgery, not quite so good once we got in the car – let’s just say I turned the car around and back into the parking space – ran inside for paper towels and the nurses came back out and took him back inside. I tried to do some cleaning – ended up getting a large garbage bag, many paper towels and some disinfectant for the smell. Finally we headed back home, got him settled on the couch and he slept with ice packs on his face. Later Greg took my car and had it cleaned – inside and outside! I guess that’s an early Christmas present from Ryan to me.
Off to see what else I need to do for Christmas – wrapping presents and adding my gift tags is one! And I’m finishing laundry…..
Planning to be back tomorrow with another post. See you then!
It’s actually pretty fitting to share this now – since it is so cold. It’s my telescoping snowman card! He is all twisted up to fit inside an envelope but when you stretch him out – he looks like this –
