It's that time of year.. almost.

I really can't believe it's almost Christmas already. It seems like just a few weeks ago I was taking these photos in the layout. I love Christmas, the tree, decorating. I get all my decorations up Thanksgiving weekend. I listen to Christmas music constantly and sing.. LOUD! When I was a kid my sister and I would watch the Mickey Mouse Christmas Sing along in the Summer.. drove my mom nuts! :)

 

Here's a layout I made for the Fancy Pants Booth at Summer CHA. It was pretty exciting seeing my layout on the display. I've used the new Merry Little Christmas Collection. I LOVE this collection and all of the bright colors in it. The patterns are gorgeous, too!

My Christmas Stamp Set - The Crafts Meow!



Today is the sneak peek for my newest stamp set for The Crafts Meow.

 The set is called Under the Tree. There's a mixture of images and sentiments. Perfect for your Christmas card making this year.

 

Here's a tag using one of the images and sentiments in the collection.

Here's another image and sentiment. I wrote this little poem which will go perfect on the inside of your card or on the outside, like I have here. The papers are all made by Fancy Pants Designs.

 

Both of these projects will be the projects for my next Class at Collective Journey in Redlands, California. There's another card, I will be showing that on my blog --next week! For more information on my class please go to the Collective Journey Website.

 

I hope you will pop on over on The Crafts Meow Blog and see some of the other samples from this collection made by the design team.

 

Have a great day!

A Cutie Pie Christmas!



I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. It's almost time for Christmas, AGAIN!

I sure do love making Christmas stuff, though. Here's a wreath I made for my class at This and That in Chino last week. I cut a 12x12 piece of patterned paper from the Fancy Pants Merry Little Christmas Collection into 3x3 inch squares. and made 16 little cones. Then I used my Scor-Tape and attached all of the cones side by side. I colored the Cutie Pie, A Sled Full and cut 2 doilies in half then glued to the back of my image for a border. I attached a loop of ribbon.. added a bow blinged up the edges with Stickles and voila!

 

Super cute stuff!!!!

 

I hope you all have a great week!

I've been asked to be a guest designer for Whiff of Joy last month

 and I was so excited and happily accepted!
