Embossed Christmas Tags....

I am starting to get a little nervous, my Christmas cards are not started and I have only started a few Christmas tags! Deep breath Christine, you can do this!LOL

I took some Stamping Bella stamps and some Penny Black stamps and brought them into my tag making! I took a Basic Grey stamp called, Flower Dot Pattern and embossed it with white embossing powder to make the main part of the tag.....and it worked...yahoo. I was not sure how it would turn out!

Recipe card using distress inks....

Today I am preparing for my distress ink class at Stamping Bella. I can hardly wait to share my love of those inks to all that come tomorrow. I think they will be hooked for sure! I am sure with all the fun we will have, we will all be a little hungry and need a little treat to tie us over. So I baked some Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins for all. And of course....I HAD to make a recipe card!
Just bought a Penny Black image last week and stamped this little "Flutter-bye" up, using VersaFina Onyx Black ink. My album is still quite empty...so more recipe cards to come!

This summer I am going to have another class making these recipe cards, at Stamping Bella! I think this will be alot of fun..sharing old time favourite recipes and then making them into keepsake recipe cards. A recipe booklet that would be so fun to receive.You should see the ones I had...lots of scribbled recipes on old pieces of paper.

I want to thank-you all for your sweet comments. They mean so much to me. I know how busy we all get and it is so hard to find the time sometimes to visit blogs......so thank-you!

Merry Kissmas!

I have been having problems making comments on peoples blogs and loading any pictures on my blog. I had my computer into the repair shop, but it seems that it was just blogger acting up!

I wanted to share another Christmas card I made using a new stamp I just bought! It is a Penny Black stamp, called "Merry Kissmas"....Thanks Denise for showing us your wonderful cards using Penny Black stamps!

I embossed the snowflakes on the cardstock and then just coloured up my image using Prisma pencil crayons.

I hope you are all getting things together for the Christmas holidays. I appreciate you coming and visiting...as I know that things are very hectic this time of year!

Welcome December....

Earlier this year hubby made me this wooden calendar stand. I truly love to decorate the calendar pages for each month with the templates Cat has provided. You can find them HERE. I used one of my new Penny Black stamps which I thought would be perfect for this time of year and it also went really well with the back ground paper!

I am really hoping to get a little more organized with some Christmas cards and tags. I seem to be a little behind this year....so I really need to get going!

Have a wonderful day....and thank-you so much for popping in for a visit. I know this time of the year can get really busy!

...get comfy,rest and get better...

I hope everyone is keeping warm! Today the sun actually made an appearance, if only it would melt the darn stuff!LOL A very simple card today... I have to thank Liza for this wonderful image! I love Penny Black....

I am sending this card to Scrappy Jan...she has that nasty flu bug! Hope you are feeling better!

Wishing you joy....

This little Penny Black image is called Lighting up...I received this image in the mail from another blogging friend and I was just thrilled....I haven't got any Penny Black images and I just adore them! I could hardly wait to colour it up! I coloured with copics and added a little glitter at the bottom for snow! Lately my cards have been very simple (which I really like actually) with Christmas a couple of weeks away I find I am scrambling to complete so many other projects as well!
I hope you are keeping warm in your neck of the woods...expect in Australia where you guys are loving your summer!
