Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas! 

I fashioned my project using multiple strips of 1/2" x 12" paper to create the base for a Christmas ornament. I used an ornament diecut for the top of the base, a Mrs Santa digital stamp, Graphic 45 paper for the strips, some flowers, a festive sentiment, LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon for the tie, and scraps of Ohio State paper (I'm a Buckeye) to make a unique tree hanging.  Here's some pictures of the project:



I had so much fun putting this together that I thought - why not do a couple more using Julie Nutting doll stamps as the focal image - one 3-D with lots of fussy cutting and paper piecing and the other stamped and colored with watercolor pencils.



Christmas Blessings from my home to yours!!

Saddle up those horses!! And join us right now for an hour of  Wild West FUN!
HeeHaw!

Get these boots a-movin!!
With a few tools like the cowgirl doll stamp from Julie Nutting, I fussy cut, paper pieced, and glossy accented my doll to get ready for this hop.  I decided to try a new product (for me), gelli plating - mono-printing! This is super fun and great for making the actual card background and matching envelope for the card.

After gelli plating, I took the print (after it dried) and cut out a card shape (pennant style) with my Cameo.  I then made the envelope with the We R Memory Envelope Punch Board.  A few bits of glitter glue, a piece of LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon, some twine, pearls, sentiment stamp from Pink By Design, and velcro for the envelope to provide closure finished off my project.

Here are some pictures - hope you enjoyed my HEEHAW creation.

Grab your broomsticks and join us for some wicked fun!

Halloween cards are lots of fun to create and deliver to those special witches in your life!  I decided to use my Cameo to cut two basic card shapes and pull together some fun "witchy" stamps and other embellies to inspire you to design a card for someone you cherish.  
Remember the key to cards (from my POV) is using some interesting elements starting with the paper.  The paper I grabbed was from a Halloween pack I found at JoAnn's. It was just the right thickness to easily cut with the Cameo and sturdy enough to efficiently stand up for display. 
After all isn't the whole point to our paper crafting the joy of having one's cards on display (not tucked in a drawer)? Here's a few of my efforts:


The focal point on this side step card is a Dyan Reaveley stamp with some handmade embellies like the flower, the witchy hat, twine, Stickles, and LoveBug Creations Halloween Grunge ribbon.


A blog hop card fest wouldn't be complete for me without using a Julie Nutting paper doll stamp plus some more embellies for this easel center step card.


I am in love with the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds stamp set and had to incorporate a crazy bird witch for this side step card.  Tim Holtz also has another set called Crazy Little Things (witch hat, pumpkin, broom) that can also be stamped for projects.  The skull is a Dyan Reaveley stamp.


My last sample is for a special little witch - kids love owls so this easel center step card focuses on the little witch and her owl friends.  This stamp set was cheap but engaging. Tie a piece of rumple ribbon around the center and add a cute sentiment for some Halloween fun!

 Up next is CHRISTINA

Music Is Life Blog Hop

Welcome to the Music is Life Blog Hop



We sang our ABC's as children loud and off key!
We rocked out in our bedrooms with our friends to our favorite tunes.
We slow danced awkwardly to that memorable ballet with the boy we crushed on. We walked down the isle in to the wedding march as we married the man of our dreams. We sang a sweet lullaby to our babies as we rocked them to sleep. We sing our favorite songs as we drive the kids to school, annoying them the whole way! Yes, music is Life! It's everywhere in our lives! 
Join us as we celebrate the wonderful Life of Music!!

You should have arrived from Angela  In case you didn't and you need to start at the beginning,

Our instruments have all been tuned...time for the show to begin!

The Lady of MUSIC!!
I know a church lady who is going to celebrate a very significant birthday later this month.  I designed a shadow box for her using one of my Julie Nutting doll stamps.  Since my friend is talented in both instrumental and vocal music, she will hopefully enjoy this token of warmest regards.

The materials that I used for this surprise are:
*Julie Nutting doll stamp - hand stamped, fussy cut, and assembled
*Music paper and card stock for the background, the handmade box, and, of course, the clothing, body/hair, and handmade flowers
*Jewels and other bling to bring some sparkle and delight
*Mama LoveBug private reserve LoveBug Creations Simply Sheer Ribbon
*A significant amount of time and effort to bring this shadow box to life

Here are some pictures of different parts of my shadow box, which has a magnet on the back of the box so it can be placed on a mirror or a refrigerator for display.





Next I finished up the project with a fancy straw and some music brads for the 4 corners.  These final pictures show you the project close up and on my display table.  I hope you liked The Music Lady!!




 Up next is HOLLI
