Good evening everyone.

TGIF...what a long week.  I had no car this week and the time went slowly.  Usually I play taxi and run around alot.  but not this week.  I did not get any extra crafting in though like I hoped.  I did get some.  Christmas and December are right around the corner and I am just not ready.  I have about 20 more chipboard mini calendar fridge magnets to make.  Some i hope to sell to get some extra Christmas money and the rest I will have as gifts.

I wanted to pop in and share a couple of them that I have made with you.

Get your Sparkle and Shine!!

Good morning everyone.  I can not believe I am posting in ther morning!!!  I usually post in the evening.lol  Well I have been real busy lately, making cards, calendars, snowmen and  Candy bar wrappers for the holidays.  I wanted to just pop in and make a quick post of a couple things i worked on Yesterday.  I am loving working with the Close to My Heart SPARKLE AND SHINE papers...

I had not embossed with powders in a long time, when I got the Mary and Babe stamp set from CTMH, I knew this was a set that I needed to emboss with..love how it tuned out.

then On a cutsey note....

and then I have one set of Promarkers and I wanted to try my hand at coloring this cute little Unity stamp I got from my Awesome sister..

Now I just have to finish him off by coloring the Christmas balls, then i can add him to a card:0)  

Hope you like my creations and will come again!!

She wanted one for a family member or friend that got married in Vegas.  

I took out my Artiste cartridge and fired her up so I could use the playing card shapes on it.  And of course I used black red and white paper. I added some lace ribbon to it from Really Reasonable Ribbon, half back pearl, atg gun, zig pen ribbon paper clip from the laughing Lola collection from Close To My Heart, as well as the Base and Bling Flowers. and here it is!
