Christmas Countdown Calendar

Had a great time making this calendar. It is a cookie pan from the dollar tree. Spray painted red. And lots of embellishments. Got a grid template for the numbers and the base part. CCut out all the numbered squared and mounted on chipboard. Added a magnet on the back. After decorating all the numbers you just place them on the squares. When the day is over you can place the number on the back, (which is really the inside).
Used the cricut to cut out the black matt at the top. Add some ribbon and viola your done.

Happy Thanksgiving

Well I spent most of my morning cooking up some yummy goodies. Trying to prepare some for tomorrows big feast!!
Hope you all have a great and Happy Thanksgiving.
Here is a sneak peek at my goodies for tomorrow!!

 

Christmas Card Time

Well I finally got started making some cards for Christmas. A dear friend of mine had a card class in a nearby town. I had to go. We made 25 cards. There was four of each design. It was great getting to play catch up with her. We haven't scrapbooked together in probably nine years. Wow it's strange how the time has flown by. And we both have grandbabies now!! It was fun making the cards and playing catch up on old times. Well enjoy and thanks for looking.

Cakes anyone??

A lady that works here with me makes these beautiful cakes and cupcakes. See picture below. I just had to share something of her great creations. Dana Hooton makes cakes from her home while working from home full time. Wished I could create these beautiful things. Just wanted to give Dana a shout out!!!
Also please visit her link to see more of her creations.
Thanks

BLOG CANDY ALERT

Been blog hoppin this am and now had a chance to post something here also. Check out my sidebar to some great blog candy!!

Snowman Soup??

Tried my hand at creating a cute gift. You put the ingredients in the jars for snowman soup in it.
Well I took the box apart and covered with paper and trimmed it and inked it. It was the hardest thing I have ever done.WHEW!!!
Well it turned out pretty good so far. I will fill the jars with peppermint, hershey's kisses, coco and marshmallows soon... I think I will just stick with filling the jars with goodies instead!!
Thanks for looking.

Happy Halloween

A little late posting. Hope all you kiddos got some great candy!! And all the big kiddos got some great sweets also.
Will post a better post tomorrow.
Be safe out there!!
You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when:

10. You get winded from knocking on the door.

9. You have to have another kid chew the candy for you. 

8. You ask for high fiber candy only. 

7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, 
You lose your balance and fall over. 

6. People say: "Great Boris Karloff Mask," 
And you're not wearing a mask.

5. When the door opens you yell, "Trick or..." 
And can't remember the rest.

4. By the end of the night, 
You have a bag full of restraining orders. 

3. You have to carefully choose a costume that won't dislodge your
hairpiece.

2. You're the only Power Ranger in the 
Neighborhood with a walker. 

And the number one reason Seniors should not go 
Trick Or Treating...

1. You keep having to go home to pee. 

No matter, have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN anyway.

Have fun ladies. Christmas is next!!!

Scrapbook Room Delima

Ok we all have wonderful spaces that work the best way possible. Below is my room today. I need so much help on organizing. I somewhat know where "STUFF" is. The sad part is that maybe there is to much "STUFF" What do I need to clean and organize? Is it shelves, counters, cabinets or just a HUGE YARDS SALE???
Any comments appreciated. I can take criticism.
Thanks for looking.

2010 Calendars

I have been creating a new thing found out there on the big, WWW. 2010 Calendars. I think I will be giving these to come co workers. They will love them.
They are made with 4" chipboard coasters. Covered in paper, inked and I added the decorated binder clip, pretty ribbon and flowers. They make the perfect small gift for a friend. Thanks for looking.

Another Card Organizer

Well I jumped in again. I made this organizer using the CTMH Level 2 My Reflections Paper Pack Notebook. Never really knew what to scrapbook with this paper. This box made the perfect item.
Now I need to create some cards to go in these boxes, and they will make perfect Christmas gifts.

Card Organizer Created

Would like to show what I did by following the video below. Made with SU papers and stamps and inks. The only thing not SU is the eyelets. This was a little confusing at first but the more i worked with it the easier it got.
Thanks to the great video oh and the pause button, hehehe
Thanks Dannie
Enjoy!!

Card Organizer Tutorial

The would be great for getting cards created as a gift box.
I think I will have to try this tutorial this weekend for sure.

Thanks Card

Received my new stamp set today from Stephanie Bernard~The Stamps of Life.
I got 3 sheets of cardstock also. She asked when we got our stamps, if we would create a card and send to her. Love the versatility of this stamp set. Can't wait to use it in my scrapbooks also.

The Stamps of Life

Just joined a new club with Stephanie Barnard. Remember her? Well she has started her own company now and will be offering some great new stamps into the mix. I joined her monthly stamp club. Which is a great deal to, $11.95 a month and we as members get the stamps before they go public. How awesome is that? If you 't want to be a member her stamps are super cheap and good quality to. I loved the rubber that the old stamps she had, (pink, green, purple ones) Stephanie called me personally when I joined to. It was great speaking to her. I loved her videos that she had back in the day. Make sure you watch her new videos to. Join the club it's a great deal. Tell her Victoria sent ya. There is no commission thing either. Each member is on their own, no selling to other either. Oh I almost forgot there are digital images to for you digi stampers. I had a hard time deciding myself. I figured the actual stamp will be better for me cause I like to touch my supplies. See the new one offered below.

I am really excited to get the new stamp to. As soon as it arrives I will post some projects with it.
Thanks Stephanie for the great stamp club.
