25 Days of Christmas - Day 1

Hi everyone,
I am attempting another year of 25 days of Christmas/Holiday projects and ideas. I hope that you will all join me each day as I show you how I plan on celebrating the season. Today's project is more of a tool that was an impulse purchase at Michaels. It's called the Bowmaker and its from EK Tools and it retails for $9.99. In the video, I give my impressions of the tool as well as a not very expert demonstration. Since I made the video a couple of days ago, I have made roughly 15 bows with it and I have to say I really like it!



Thanks for visiting today! Be sure to join me tomorrow for Day 2.

CardzTV Challenge - Thanksgiving

Hi everyone,

It's time for another challenge over at CardzTV. The challenge this week is Thanksgiving! I can't believe that turkey day is here. My 2nd grader has been reading a book at school called Turkey Trouble and she had to disguise a turkey. She decided on a hula girl disguise! This week's challenge is to make a Thanksgiving card and I used CardzTV stamp set called Beary Sweet and it's hands down still my favorite stamp set. I use this one all the time!

Be sure to join the challenge for a chance to win a set of CardzTV stamps!

Here is my card for the week:

I also have a video for you all. Be sure to watch to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.



Thanks for visiting everyone. I hope that you all get a chance to join the challenge and if you are an American visitor, enjoy our holiday and don't get too stuffed!

CardzTV Challenge : Make a Card for Halloween

Hi everyone,

It's time for another challenge at CardzTV. The challenge this time is to make a card for Halloween. If you join the challenge you have a chance to win a set of CardzTV stamps. For this challenge, I used two stamp sets from CardzTV Let's Face It and Spooky Sayings. Here is my card for the challenge. I was inspired by a card on Pinterest for this card.

I used Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge and some paper from Cosmo Cricket. The face stamps from May really worked well for this card. I stamped the face in white and then used my white gel pen to make it a little darker. I think it came out cute!

I hope that you can join in challenge this week. It's a fun one. Be sure to visit Mary's blog to see all of the other DT cards and to join the challenge.
