Almost Here

I can't believe Christmas is just a couple days away. I've baked, shopped, baked, and shopped some more, and in between it all, ate way too many sweets! I'm ready for 2010 and all the wonderful things I know the New Year will bring!

Can you tell I am into pink lately, I can't get enough of it! On this first card I used Paper Studio papers, Maya Road chipboard - which a painted, distressed and coated with german glass glitter, I cut out the felt heart and stitched around it, added some little pearl beads and Prima roses.

I made this next card using a Sizzix heart die and cut with cardboard and painted. I sewed the fabric heart on my machine and added some pearl beads. The butterfly punch is Martha Stewart and I added a handmade crochet flower that my friend Jennifer in WA state made for me.

And some shabby tags made with the cardboard hearts and Martha Stewart silver tinsel glitter around the edges, a Sizzix chipboard key I painted, distressed and glittered, Melissa Frances adhesive pearls, lace and Martha Stewart ribbon.



I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

I can't believe Christmas is next week and 2010 is right around the corner, this year has flown by so fast!

Not much new to share on the house, we are still painting trim molding for the million windows we have, I never thought of all the molding when we decided to put so many windows in! We did manage to get the sunroom painted this past weekend and I got enough molding painted for the window trim so that will be going up this week.

Just a few projects, first is a set of shabby boxes I covered using Melissa Frances papers, trim, roses and of course, glitter!



And, my Custom Crops project for this week. I recently got a Cricut Expression and couldn't wait to cut chipboard with it! You can find the supplies and instructions here.


I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!

Thanks for stopping by!

It's Official!

The Christmas season is upon us, this is my favorite time of year! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!

I was planning on painting the sunroom today but we are expecting heavy rain and wind so it looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow. (It's a 25 mile drive one way to the new house and I am not fond of driving in bad weather!) Looks like I get a crafty day today!! I just have the sunroom and master bedroom to paint and I'll be done painting the second floor, talk about sore arms and hands!
I've been squeezing in some crafty time in the mornings and evenings and wanted to share a few things. Seems like I can't make anything these days without using Martha Stewart's Crystal Fine glitter!





Also, here is latest project I did for Custom Crops. I used Cosmo Cricket's Earth Love collection for the card and of course, crystal fine glitter!


We might get a little wet snow on Saturday, I know it won't stick but I'll be happy just to see a few snowflakes!
Thanks for stopping by!
