This page is my favorite! I love this stamp set!

Ask Frames

I am not sure who to credit with these frames, but my Mom, Cheryl Sims had given me the idea and helped me create them. I am giving them to my in-laws for Christmas and I am just so proud and excited to be giving them!

Day 21 of the Advent Calendar

A simple but elegant design using the Cuttlebug.

Day 20 of the Advent Calendar

I should have added rhinestones or dazzling diamonds to make the flakes sparkle...

Make your own Calendars

I just had to share these calendars. I used the make your own calendar kits from the holiday mini. My whole family made them at Thanksgiving and I made a few for customers. I was really impressed with how they turned out.

Day 19 of the Advent Calendar

The first page I did with Bleaching. I was not so happy with it, but it was a learning experience. I tried to use a lot of different techiniques in the calendar, some were good and some not so good.

joys of crafting and fellowship,

Day 18 of the Advent Calendar

Look at the 18... Ooopss I stamped upside down and my son embossed it for me, but complained the entire time... Mom - Just do a new one, but I did not... :) LOL not sure why I was being stubborn... Another of the line up and I still have not colored in... Oh well at least I can say my project was 90% complete, I just hate punch lists!!!
