Day Seven...

Today it's all about the notepads. These little guys make the perfect stocking stuffers. Inside is a pad of lines paper and a pocket to hold things like coupons or pics. Once again used Mitten Weather from Cosmo Cricket for this. 

  
                                                           See you tomorrow for day 8!

Day Six...

Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite things that I made for the Bazar. A wreath that  I assembled out of book pages. I cut the large scallop circle out with my Silhouette ( I LOVE that machine!), then used a Tattered Angels snowflake screen as a mask for my glimmery gold mist. The bits of patterned paper are from an older Basic Grey Christmas line called Wassail. I also used Mr. Huey Lunchbox mist on the Melissa Francis crepe paper around the middle of the centerpiece.

This one was donated to the wreath auction at my kids' school and I am pretty sure it was the principal that ended up with the winning bid.

I have another one of these to share with you, same idea but a different look on another dat. :)

Be back tomorrow!

Day Five....

Late post today...been recovering from the craft Bazaar yesterday, did some Christmas shopping and am back making more things for another little bazaar tomorrow night. I'll keep it short and sweet again. A card made using more Mitten Weather from Cosmo Cricket and some Clear Scraps decorative frames. I used the same technique on here for the snowflake that I have used in the past for many of the starts that you have seen on layout, only I added another arm.

Stamped on the back of the Clear Scraps frame with StazOn white ink and then painted on top with red paint.

See you tomorrow!

Day four...

I'm a little late today. I've been at an artisan bazaar. Fortunately it was worth the time and energy I put into it. You just never know with those things. So, without further delay...I'd like to spend some time with my family.

Today is a set of gift tags made out of Clear Scraps ATC cards. I ran these little cuties through some embossing folders in my Cuttlebug. That is one of the many great things about Clear Scraps acrylic, it is embossable.

Papers are from My Mind's Eye and the stamps and dies for the stocking and tags are from Papertrey Ink.

See you tomorrow!

I'm so proud of me...day three

How about another card using the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather line? I'm lovin' the red and purple together.

Bought the wide red ribbon with the glittery polka dots at Michaels. 

Just a quickie for today. Kids are all out of school and we are off to get our Christmas tree.

See you tomorrow!

Woohooo....Day two!

I think I am already breaking a record here, two blogging days in a row! Up today for day two of the 25 days of Christmas is a set of cards.

I used ALL Papertrey Ink for these, with the exception of the Martha Stewart border punch along the top. The snowflakes came from the Holiday Friendship Jar stamp set and the sentiment is from Big & Bold Holiday. I opted to go with non-tradtional holiday colors for these 6 identical cards, each differing only in their color. Topped off the snowflakes with some jewels from my stash.

There's today's project in a nutshell. See you back here at the old blog tomorrow!

Day 1 of...

The 25 days of Christmas! A little challenge for myself here. I have been busy crafting up a storm for the Holiday Bazaar at my kids' school. That means I have lots to share. I thought I would attempt to share something Christmassy/Holiday-ish with you all for the days leading up to the 25th. Yes, that means blogging EVERY day for 25 days...let's see if I can do it!

So, without further ado, I present to you day number one. How about a card?

Cosmo Cricket sponsored the design team at A Million Memories and I received their Mitten Weather line. The papers and chipboard are from that line. I added some gold glitter to the snowman and some stitching to simulate the path of the snowflakes that he juggling. Those snowflakes of course needed some jewels in their centers, so I took care of that. Topped it all of with a sentiment from the Snowflake Serenade stamp set from Papertrey Ink.

Whew, one day down...only 24 left.
