Demonstrator card

Every year I make dozens of Christmas cards (next year my goal it to make all the cards I send out hand-made!--75 in all!) but I always try to make an extra special design for my fellow demos...plus they would appreciate them the most!  

Here's this year's card...I made a silver and gold version....


Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Whisper White

More gifts...

Sets of 8 everyday cards (birthday, get well, thank you) in a covered box....the butterfly box inspired me to make a matching card...

Sahara Sand, Pretty in Pink, Sage Shadow, Barely Banana, Whisper White, Swirl stamp from Baroque Motifs

More gifts....

Another stationary set....

Sage Shadow, Apricot Appeal, Almost Amethyst

Dashing Dasher

This always happens....right after I send out my cards, I find some inspiring cards....

I've been looking for a great card for the Dasher stamp and I think this is it!  I think some funky Christmas colored paper would be perfect instead of the retired Bermuda Bay stripe...or maybe even stripes in shades of brown....


You can't really see, but there's a bit of sparkle on his antlers...


The button is a clear round with a punched circle underneath...I have to get some of the new delicious buttons that SU! carries....I'll add it to my wish list!

Personalized gifts

Here's another gift I'm giving this year...this is a gift for one of my children's teachers....personalized note cards with matching envelopes


Pale Plum, Basic Gray, Whisper White

Lovely Letters Alphabet, Heart from Hostess set-Punch Potpourri, Image on envelope from Always set, pearls from Michael's

Gifts, Gifts, Gifts

Every year I try to start my Christmas duties early, but somehow I  always end up running around like a crazy chicken the last few weeks before Christmas...

Here's some of the gifts I've been working on...

These are plastic boxes with 8 assorted cards in them...great teacher gifts!

Pastel Trees

Here's the color variation on the previous card (I meant to post this earlier, but I'm still working on some handmade gifts)


I think I like the darker colors better???


Pixie Pink, Orchid Oppulance, Gable Green
