Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! Have a happy and safe holiday!

I'll be taking a two week break from blogging. I have been sick this week so couldn't create anything and the next two weeks I'll be busy altering a wedding dress and a flower girl dress. I'll be back in the new year with some new stamping creations from the Occasion Mini. See you in the New Year!

Cupcakes Birthday

Happy Friday, everyone! No Christmas card today. A new customer wanted to make birthday cards last month and this was one of them that she made. She did a great job for a first timer and stamp pretty fast too.

The card base is Kraft cardstock and it goes well with the Cottage Wall DP. Love this DP! The cupcakes was coloured in using the blender pen and the cherries were coloured in using markers. Very simple card for my customer to create.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day! Don't forget about the BLOG CANDY on the previous post!

Happy Stamping!

Gifts for People Who Came to the Party and a Blog Candy

Hello, everyone! Here are the gifts I gave to my customers who came to the Christmas Party. Each get a pillow box bucket and stuff I made to go inside.

Close up of the bucket. I used the Merry Moments DP to decorate the bucket.

Here are the goodies in the bucket. Ornament with DP inside, cello bag of chocolates, a butterflies bookmark and 2 mini candy canes.

Okay, are you ready for the blog candy? I made extras for some of my friends and I still have an extra one to give away. Yippee! Isn't that wonderful? Leave a comment on this post and I'll pick a lucky winner on Dec 26. Have fun and good luck!

Happy Stamping!

Make n' Take From the Customer Appreciation Christmas Party

Happy Monday, everyone! We had a great Christmas Cantata at our church last night. Many came out to hear the choir and the children sing. I'll put a link here when the video is upload on our church website. My son, Jarod, sang solo in the cantata. I'm so proud of him! He did a great job but boy was he nervous (that's what he said). I sure don't notice and so are others.

Here are the make n' takes we did on Friday night's party.

Isn't this beautiful little box. It uses the Scallop Square Die. A little drawer to put candies, chocolates, jeweleries or anything small enough to fit in there. There is even a card on top of the box! This is such an amazing box!

Here is how it looks like open up.

Here is the other project we did. A picture frame. I did mine of a church with all those glitters on it.
We did a "rock n' roll" technique on the snowflake. It is so pretty!

Well, that's all for now! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

We got snow yesterday afternoon and the kids are having fun playing with less than 10 cm of snow on the ground today. They get excited even if there is so little snow.

Happy stamping!

Customer Appreciation Christmas Party

Happy Saturday, everyone! Last night was my first Customer Appreciation Christmas Party and it was a success. We had yummy Christmas dinner (my husband did the cooking), play some Christmas games and did 2 make n' takes. Everyone had a great time and even my son joined the ladies at the make n' take table.

I didn't take pictures until the end (totally forgot) so I only got three of the ladies.

Here is Anna with her make n' takes.

Here is Samantha with her make n' takes.

Here is Linda with her make n' takes.

I call these three the Musketeers. They come to my classes together most of the time. They are fun to have around.

Hope your having a wonderful Saturday so far and thank you for stopping by! I'll post a close up of the make n' takes on the next post. Gotta go and spend some time with my children and hubby. They have been neglected for a few weeks.

Happy Stamping!

Scenic Season's Greetings

Hello, everyone! I got a little bit of time to make a card! Yippee! I made this card using the DSP scrap from the projects I made to give to my customers tomorrow night. I was going to throw it away but then I thought what a waste so I made this card with it instead. I love the snowflakes on the Merry Moments DSP!

I stamped the image first then tape the DSP on. This way I wont stamp on the DSP.

Gotta run and thank you for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Gift Certificate Holder

Happy Monday, everyone! It has been while since I post. Been busy preparing for my first Customer Appreciation Party, babysitting my niece and practice for the Christmas Cantata. So much to do and so little time.

Anyway, I made this gift certificate holder for a customer. I made it just like the one in Spring of this year but this one is a Christmas card. I added Dazzling Diamonds to one of the tree to highlight that one tree. Very pretty IRL.

Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back to post all the stuff from the Customer Appreciation Day!

Happy Stamping!

NSR (Not Stamping Related) Christmas Cantata

Hello, everyone! Happy Tuesday! I just want to invite you who are local here in the Lower Mainland to our church Christmas Cantata. It will held on Dec. 13 at 6:30 pm at Greater Vancouver Baptist Church. The theme for this year is Christmas On The Air. There will be children singing and some drama too. It'll be exciting and I hope you can make it!
