Happy, Happy, Happy Holidays Stampin Friends Blog Hop

 Hey Y'all and welcome to the November Happy Holiday's Blog Hop brought to you by Stampin Friends! If you came from Melissa's blog thanks for continuing on the hop. You can also click on the next button to keep on hopping! We have all been working on Holiday stuff for a while. While personally I am still in Thanksgiving mode, I have been working on Christmas stuff for my classes for a while. The holiday's are probably one of my favorite times to stamp! I love to make candy treat wrappers and small gift-ables for just about everyone! And of course, the every important Christmas card is a big deal for me. This month I'd like to share with you two decorated bottles! One is a Starbuck's Peppermint Mocha drink and the other is an empty bottle almost the same shape I found at Target for 2/$3.00. This screamed Candy Cane Lane DSP to me and the stamp set, plus the Cookie Cutter stamp set! LOVE them both! I made a bottle tag with as open-sided box to hold a cookie to go along with the Mocha. The empty bottle is filled with peppermints, wrapped with a piece of Designer Series Paper around it and washi tape added 

with a tag! Done. Great small gift to tuck into teachers' baskets or for co-workers. The card I made uses a card sketch I ran across last month. I used this same sketch for some of my swaps at Onstage. I really like the simplicity of this sketch but you can do so many  variations. This card uses the Christmas Pines Bundle. Another set I have fallin' in love with this season. the DSP on this card is from the This Christmas package that is actually in the Annual Catalog! I used the Copper foil to cut out the pine cones.

One of my most favorite things about Stampin' Up is the coordination of products! The DSP, Stamp sets, framelits and embellishments that all go together make projects so much easier and more fun to finish! Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment before Sunday the 20th. We will be doing another mystery give away and each comment gives you another chance to win some pretty cool stuff. Be Blessed and have a great day- Go out a be a blessing and you'll have a great life.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!

I love a party! so I'll take any reason to celebrate. Have a great Cinco de Mayo! I am sharing a card set with yall today I made a couple of weeks ago while in St. Augustine. It was a real challenge, as I have mentioned, because I took very limited supplies. I made two purse boxes with cards, one with Baja Breeze and Parisian Breeze and the other with Riding Hood Red and Candy Lane DSP. I used Nancy Horn's instructions from the SU website, but had to make little changes since I didn't have everything with me she used. The Parisian Breeze set I have already shown yall so here is the Riding Hood Red Se. I am really going to miss this years "In Colors", they have truly been some of my favorite. The new cattie is out July 1st and there will be six new "In Colors", so if you are really lovin' these stock up before July 1. Also remember this month the Scrapbook Special is buy 3 packs of DSP and get 1 Free! This is a really good deal so take advantage of it. Call or email me if you want to or hit the shop now button and shop on line at my Stampin' Up! website. Listen, have a great and blessed day and bless somebody else.
