Holiday Party Invitation

'Tis the season for holiday parties! Can you believe we are already planning one for Todd's co-workers? We decided if we were going to do it we needed to get on it and do it early. I thought maybe this little drink would be cute for the invitation but lost my head with the Night of Navy as now I think it looks 4th of Julyish. Oh well! HERE is a link to my stamping supplies for this card. I used the Snowflake Glimmer Mist on the Night of Navy card stock but I must tell you that it scared me for a moment because I had already stamped the snowflakes in white craft ink and they started to run a bit. All I needed to do was straighten out the paper until it was almost dry and voila...a very pretty muted background. I would think that you could also spray the Glimmer Mist first and then stamp the snowflakes. I'll have to try that next time.

I'm off to make breakfast for my boys so you all have a super fantastic day!

Gobble, Gobble!

So...this is the first time since I started stamping about 5 years ago that I have sent out Thanksgiving cards but how do you not with this cute little Cartoon Turkey from Cornish Heritage Farms? On the inside it says 'gobble 'til you wobble'. Can you say...cute?! You can see the specifics of what I used to make this card HERE. Okay, you can see that once I get it uploaded to SCS!

Short post today since it is so late in the day but just a shout out to let you all know that I'll be having a Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' Kit stamp camp on December 1st from 1 - 4 p.m. at my house. The cost is $35 and include the Winter Bright Kit and 4 projects that you'll be making while here with unlimited possibilities with the rest of the kit that you will take home! This class is perfect for making those last minutes gifts we all need at this time of year! Sign up and money is due by November 18th. It is going to be fabulous so don't miss it!

Alright...have a fantastic evening everyone!

It's a Bella Thing!

I made another Bella yesterday. This is Chefabella and I think she is adorable and perfect for Thanksgiving!!! I had a lot of fun making this card because I used so many different company's 'stuff'. I used SU! paper and ribbon, a Stamping Bella stamp, an AMuse stamp, and the sentiment is from a great set of sentiments I got at Cornish Heritage Farms from the Kim Hughes Collection. Can I just make a suggestion ladies? Go check out Kim's stamps...they are great! Okay, really, I like everything about CHF and the greeting set...fantastic! I couldn't decide if I wanted this card to be a before or after Thanksgiving card as there is a great 'thanks' saying in the set too. Anyway, this is what I decided on...and I love her! I'm going to upload her to SCS and then I'll come back and link you to that HERE so you can see everything that I used to make her!

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Glimmer Mist

I've been wanting to try some of the Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist in Snowflake. I've been following it's uses from eP's website (love this shop!). Once I finally decided to order it and I received it I was afraid to use it. Silly me, huh? I put together this card very quickly the other night with the Glimmer Mist on the black card stock. While I'm not in love with this card I can see the possibilities for this layout and color combo. It think it would be WAY cute as a smaller card (maybe 4 1/4 x 4 1/4). The set also came with the words 'holiday party' and the when, where, etc...stamps too. It would make such a cute invitation to your holiday party this year! Best part? The set is a $1.00 set from Studio G! I also LOVE the look that the Glimmer Mist added. It is like having Shimmery Black paper. The Glimmer Mist comes in a bottle that you can spray in a couple of different ways onto your paper to create different looks. There are a ton of different colors too! It is a very neat product and I hope to use it more!

Do you have Glimmer Mist? I would love to see what you've made so please link your card in the comment section!

Have a great Monday!

My Appreciation

It is Veteran's Day...is your flag flying today? Will you tell a Veteran thank you for their service today?

This post is dedicated to the Veteran that has my heart...my husband, Todd. Although we have only been together for 7 1/2 years...Todd served in the Army for 22 years. I am always amazed by the things he's done and places he's gone. His dedication to his country is unlike any other. I have a t-shirt that says...Army, not a job but a way of life and that is truly what it is.

Todd...I am so proud of you! Thank you for sacrificing your time, sometimes your health, and sometimes your individuality for those who didn't even realize what it is all about! You are 'da man and I love you lots!

To all the Veteran's out there...this is for you!!!
