Recycling last year's Christmas cards

 After Christmas we have a short week to put decorations away and pack for our winter in Florida.  I always put the Christmas cards we receive in a pile until we return in the spring.  Then I go through and salvage pieces of cards that can be recycled and usually sent to SAS4Kids.  I thought this cute stocking was definitely a keeper.

Step Away From The Table

 Did you ever have one of those days when nothing seems to go right?  No matter how carefully you cut the paper it looks crooked.  Your punch springs apart when you go to use it?  None of your cs matches the piece of dp you plan to use?  That's when it is time to ...

Step Away From The Table

I've reheated my tea and have a sleeve of cookies next to the computer, (yes, a whole sleeve) and have decided to post the Disappearing 9 Patch card I made yesterday.  I saw the design and tutorial in the SCS Weekly Inkling.  And it is very easy to make.

I've used CTMH papers, Sizzix Tim Holtz dies and a chipboard sentiment from my Christmas stash.

Bugaboo Christmas in July Day 6

On this nice hot day in July, Catch the Bug Christmas in July Challenge has lots of crafters thinking of snow.  They've given us the movie White Christmas and a lovely white, snowy photo for inspiration. 
There may be a tree and animals in the background, but Mrs. Claus has a habit of cutting off heads when she takes pictures.
I'm a bit guilty of that myself. 
Actually, this is a Bugaboo digi image called 
I colored the image with markers, heat embossed the snow, dry embossed the top panel, and gave everything a spritz of Frost Shimmer Spritz.
