It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Hey, Y'all....For me the day after Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season....So, I gave these Christmas themed gifts for my hostess gifts at the Thanksgiving feasts me and hubby attended yesterday.  I hope they liked them....

 

 

 

 

I was inspired by a post I saw at Cricut.com.  The designer there, Paula, used some filler in the shadow box. I tried that, but it wasn't as cute for me.  I used the Cricut cartridge Word Collage to create these. 

 

Hope you enjoy 'em.  Check back soon for more Christmas themed projects!

 

Have a fun day!

Little Presents

Hey Y'all....wanted to post a little project I made for my team for work.  I have 9 direct reports and I love making them little goodies.....this was their Thanksgiving treats....

 

 

I used the Cricut catridge Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 and the Jaded Blossom stamp set Thanksgiving Kisses.  I made the crinkle ribbon using seam binding and Maya Mist.

 

Hope you enjoyed this....Check back tomorrow for the hostess gifts I gave today for the hostesses for Thanksgiving dinners....(my aunt and sister in law)

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Jaded Blossom November Challenge

Hey, Y'all....Tried something a little different (for me) tonight...I rarely attempt to recreate something that I've seen someone else make, but I have wanted to make this little pumpkin since I saw it on Cricut.com made by Rockin Renee.  I attempted it....it didn't turn out as cute as hers, but I like it.  I've filled it with Pumpkin Spice Kisses embellished with the Jaded Blossom Thanksgiving Kisses stamps. 

I am entering it in the Jaded Blossom November Challenge. Go enter your design today (the deadline is November 17th).

Here is a link for Renee's project and the instructions at Cricut.com. I did emboss the pumpkin and leaves...that wasn't part of Renee's project.

 

And, I wanted to show y'all my new "made by" stamp I received today! 

So excited and love the detail of it!  I got it on Etsy at Stampoutonline's shop.
