Christmas Goodies

I had 60 little ones to make goodies for this Christmas. I decided to make some snowman soup for them....fast and simple! I used my SU! watercolor pencils to color the cute snowman...so much fun and it made the process super quick.

I got this poem off the internet and printed it up on labels for quick assembly! :-)

I was trying to come up with something to give to one of my daughter's teachers when my GF Brenda posted her hot cocoa holders! Such PERFECT timing since I already had lots of hot cocoa for the snowman soup I was making. I completely CASEd hers since they were just too perfect!! Thanks Brenda for the measurements and inspiration!! :-)

I can't believe Christmas is just a few days away...AAAHHH!!! I'm usually busy trying to get things done up until then. I never really get to just relax and enjoy the holiday season with my family. But I'm hoping I budgeted my time better this year and I'll be able to have some down time before the big day so I can t spend some quality time with them.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are able to take some time for yourself and enjoy the holidays with your family as well! :-)

Christmas Gift Tags

Yikes! I am so behind on everything. But at least I'm posting this before Christmas! (Hehe!) Here are some tags I made for Christmas this year. Really quick and easy since one of my non-crafty friends wanted to make them. :-) We used my Two Tags SU! Bigz die and we were able to kick out a whole bunch of these in no time!

Quick Christmas Gifts

I am getting together with some of my high school friends for our annual Christmas party today. It's amazing that we are still holding strong to our tradition some 20 years after we all graduated. Although our group size has gotten smaller with people moving away and such, our overall size has grown with the many blessings that we have created. It's nice when we get together and are able to catch up like old times and now watch all of our children play together.

Anyways these are what I made for my girlfirends this year...quick little notebooks that I made from file folders. I made 8 of these in no time using the tutorials on SCS and Craft Project Centrals. I used my Cricut to cut out the letters and Hello Kitty's. They're cut from vinyl which made adhering them to the notebooks quick and easy. I must say that I love working with vinyl!

I hope you are having a fun weekend! Thank you for stopping by!

Christmas Favors

I saw these cute favor boxes on the Chic' n Scratch blog a while back and decided to make them for the Christmas party I was in charge of this year.

I hope you are all having a good day. Thank you for stopping by.

Christmas Gift for Brenda

Brenda stopped by last week to drop of some goodies for me so I thought it'd be the perfect time to give her, her Christmas gift...thank goodness I started early this year!! :-) I placed a few goodies in this gable box (my first one) and thought it was the perfect opportunity for me to use my new Itty Bitty Christmas stamps! I used stickles and liquid pearls to decorate this little Christmas cutie!!

I hope you are all able to take some time to enjoy this holiday season!! For me, I'm counting down the days until my husband returns from his work trip this Saturday!!!

Christmas Tags

Here are some Christmas tags I made use on my Christmas gifts. I've never made my own tags but after Teri surprised me with a set of her tags I thought I'd give it a try (of course, using her tags as inspiration)! :-)

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!!

Christmas Gifts

I started on my Christmas gifts last month. I've been hooked on these framed collages ever since I won the "original" from Michelle. :-) These are 5x5 frames so I down sized everything so that it would fit into the smaller area. I thought it was a cute size and a nice gift for a few of my younger cousins.

Easel Card Invites

I threw these invites together last night for my upcoming Christmas party with some friends from high school. It was the first time I made easel cards and I was surprised by how fast they come together!!

(I took this picture with my phone before I sent them out which is why it's not a real good picture!)

Christmas Party Save the Date Cards

Every year a bunch of my girlfriends from high school get together for a Christmas party. We take turns planning it and this year just so happens to be my year to plan it (with the help of my friend Mel). Here are the Save the Date cards I made (with some help from Mel) for everyone.

I am famous for putting up invites on our fridge and then covering them up with my kids artwork or school calendar (or whatever else) and before you know it, the invite is buried not to be rediscovered until I realize the party is that week!! So I thought these stand alone cards would be perfect for my friends to place on their table or desk (or someplace where it can't be buried) as a reminder of our upcoming party. :-)

Christmas Tags

These were one of the first projects I made using my Cricut! They were gift tags for some Christmas gifts last year!
