Connie's Gifts from her Secret Elf!

From the previous post you all know that I was Connie's Secret Elf. One of the gifts I gave her was a can of Cashew's I couldn't give her the Planter's can with out a little something added. So this is what I did in a matter of minutes as that was all the time I had before heading out the door to work that morning.

Nothing like waiting until the last second....to my advantage the paper and glitter were all ready out on my work table and I had an idea in my head. Here it is!!







I think when she got this one it was not hard to guess who her Secret Elf was. We had so much fun doing this I hope we do it again next year.

Enjoy and have a great day,

Box full of Cards.....

I played around and made the boxes then thought I cannot sell them empty. 3x3 cards fit inside I made these with the stamp set Holiday Tag Team (retired) and some scraps of paper and my punches. I stamped the tree on tissue paper and put the cards in the box. Scroll down and you'll see what I came up with.








Enjoy and have a great day,

Jar of Snowman SOUP....a chill is in the air!

Snowmen are my FAVORITE love them.....and Snowman Soup I love to make. These little jars are form IKEA. I got them over the summer when I redid my Studio I use them for my brads, buttons and etc you can see what's in them and they sit on the shelf and look cute. Well, just had to give it at try and add a new twist. Sold a few of these on Saturday. So all you need is a jar, Cocoa, Marshmallows, small peppermint stick for the soup, punches and ribbon and print the poem. They're are a few different poems out there that you can use.

Enjoy and have a great day,

Nugget Tins

On this one I had to be creative. I don't have any tins and no time to order any but wanted to have some to sell. Light bulb moment.....these are empty tins from Stampin' Up!'s Build-a-Brad. Six nuggets fit perfectly. They are easy to make I used Sticky Strip on the outer tin and cut Designer paper to fit both bottom and lid outer sides. Also, cut a piece to line the bottom of the inside. Almost forgot cut some small pieces of DSP for the Chocolate NUGGETS. Took some ribbon and there you have it.

Thanks for stopping by,

Santa here HO! HO! HO! and Frosty too!

These little books were purchased a few years ago at Wal-Mart for .98 cents during Christmas. I embossed on them and made a few up as gifts and put the rest away. As some of you know I recently organized and re-pained my Stampin' Studio and now when I need something I know right where to find it. (I found all kinds of goodies during this revamping) Anyhow, this Extreme Home Party event has me making things like crazy this is one of them. Hope you enjoy.

I do want to apologize for not posting a "recipe" at this time. Hopefully after Saturday I can come back and post some tutorials and recipes.

Thanks again for stopping by....

Making a LIST Checking it Twice!

O.K. I'm a little early with Christmas, however you have to get behind the 8 ball so that Christmas want catch you unprepared. So looking through my stuff from last year for inspiration I found this. It's made with a 4x4 coaster covered with SU designer series paper. (retired paper) Just a little inspiration to start your day. I'm off to work catch you later.
