Snowflake Banner In Purple

Another banner day...or Happy December!  I love Christmas cards and projects but looking forward to some spring stuff real soon.  I think because I start designing Christmas cards/projects in July, I get itchy by now for new things!  I have enjoyed these snowflakes and thankful there were dies to match!  I plan to use these for many years!  I do love this in purple!
Hope you have a blessed Sunday and start to your December!

Snowflake Banner In Blue


My stamp club made this banner a week or so ago.  I made mine in blue and then another one in my favorite color purple(post tomorrow).  Others used red and green which I was surprised those colors looked great since I do not think of them when I think of snowflakes.  I hope you can see the details in this.  It is hard to get a good photo.  


A few close ups.  Love all the blues and the glitter paper!  
Enjoy your Saturday and thanks for stopping by!

FMS114 Sketched Happy Birthday!




Great Sketched and I would have loved to make something with snowflakes but I am done with Christmas cards for now.  I need more birthday!  So I started with this Sketched Birthday set and then thought of great bright colors like Coastal and Strawberry together.  It came together quick and hopefully my sweet 15 year friend will like it very much!  
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed Friday!

PPA181 You're The Best!


Cool sketch from Nicole Watts this week!  I decided I would get some help from my designer paper for this one!  It really turned out well and then I thought I would stay with the modern feel, so I choose this stamp set and I thought it turned out rather cool or groovy or at least interesting to look at!
I really hope you and yours have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving!
Thanks for stopping by with that second piece of pie!

My Season of Style This & That Journal!


I keep pretty intense records from every Christmas.  I do not know if I am alone in this but I can go back to my daughter's first Christmas and tell you what we did, what I bought that year for gifts, decor, etc. and what gifts we received.  This will be her 19th Christmas, so you can see I have a large notebook full of info.  Well this year I decide to start recording some things in my This and That journal.  I decorated the cover with the help of SU! Season Of Style Designer Journal Tags.  These were a gift from my friend Patti and made this task easy.  You can purchase sticker for inside and my fav sticker on my calendar is for Cyber Monday (this year Dec. 2nd).  It just says Cyber Monday then a check box for Pants and a check box for No Pants.  I checked no pants for that day!!  Really I will be at the gym (with pants on) and then gearing up for my annual tags class on Tues.  Thought I would share as we have only 4 more weeks until Christmas so planning is key!!!!    
Hope you are ready for a wonder Thanksgiving Day!
Thanks for stopping by!

Candy Wrapper Box

This past week at Stamp Club we made a hanging snowflake banner (photos to come) and these cute Envelope Punch Board Candy Wrapper Boxes.  The idea is from Connie Collins at www.constantlystamping.com.  Love this idea and her directions!  It can be made in many different sizes.  The one above is using 4 1/2" x 6" designer paper.  There is some scoring and then punching with the Envelope Punch Board.  You can fill with candy like I did or other treats/toys.  I made a band that wraps all the way around and is stamped with the O Holy Night set.  Real easy to do! A tag or other decorative item like a snowflake could be made to decorate the box.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hope your Tuesday is great!

PP173 Snowflake Card






Love The Paper Players challenge with a shape.  I happen to be looking at my Festive Flurry dies when I finished reading what the challenge was so knew I was going for a snowflake shape!  Love all the blue shades together with silver this year so stuck with those combos.  Finally got to use some my new silver foil.  I will probably enclose this card in with a gift for a teacher.  
Hope you have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!
