Kiss Me Tree

I just love this little tree.... so much so, that I agreed to make 25 of them for my Mother-in-Law!  Yikes!  hahaha... actually, it wasn't too bad and they came together rather quickly.  I found the idea and information on Qbee's Quest.

I decided she needed some gift tags to put on them, so I'm finishing these up and they will be ready for delivery.  The plan was to take them up to her Thursday, but we've had a sick kitty and we were afraid to leave her, so they haven't yet been delivered.  Maybe today if the rain isn't too heavy.  We're grateful for the rain though, so no complaints there.  Mom is an hour and a half away and there could be snow between here and there, so being cautious.

There will be Cherry Cobbler Twine on the corners of the tags that she can attach after she writes her notes inside the little cards.

The tags / cards are 2" x 4" and scored at 2" to fold into a card for writing inside.

My Order is IN!

Not only do I have a new starter kit - my choice of $125.00 worth of new stamps and paper for the price of $99.00 - but today I received my pre-order box of goodies from the upcoming 2013 Spring Mini Catalog.  Did you know as a Demonstrator, you have the ability to purchase things a month ahead of everyone else???  I was also able to earn free Sale-a-bration stuff long before Sale-a-bration even begins!  Wooo Hooo!

While I can't show you the new toys, I can show you what I make with them, so get ready over the next few days to see some of the things I'll be making with some great new tools and stamps that you'll be able to buy beginning in January!

So be ready for some great posts this week!

Happy Tuesday!

The Stockings Were Hung...

I spotted this cute card on Frenchie's blog last week and just knew I had to CASE it.  It was so fast and easy to do and has such a nice clean look to it.  I ended up making 8 of them in no time at all, even with all the stamping.  

I really love how these turned out.  I may just make some more... but no, I have other cards I want to try instead.  Oh the decisions!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: Open Sleigh (w-126460 / c-126462) pg. 12
Card Stock: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Very Vanilla
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake
Tools:  Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049) pg. 7

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Back to work for me, but then again, I still have some time to use before I lose it, so maybe I'll take some more time off this week.  So many things to do!

Have a great week!
