#TGIFC140 December Designer's Delight

Happy Friday stamping friends!!!  I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and are planning for a fun New Year as well!

 

I have been enjoying time off with my family and loving every moment of it.  I have never had time off during my boys' winter break, so having two full weeks off with them has been the best Christmas present!

This week is Designer's Delight over at TGIF Challenges.  Since I have a stack of thank you notes to get out, I decided this would be a good chance to get started on them!

I LOVE this floral image in the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  Only 5 more days until you can get your hands on this set!  Who's excited for that?!?!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Night of Navy, Whisper White

Ink ~ Night of Navy, Calypso Coral

Stamp Set ~ Heartfelt Blooms

Other Supplies ~ Gold Metallic Thread

 

I love the simplicity of this card.  The detail in the flowers is all you need...nothing else!

 

Be sure to join us over at TGIF Challenges this week and share your creation with us!

 

Happy Stamping!



Merry Christmas

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! 

 

I hope you are surrounded by the ones you love, sharing old memories and making new ones as well!

 



Last Second Santa

Christmas is almost here and I am scrambling to get everything done!  Please tell me I'm not the only one who is always wrapping things up at the very last minute!!!  Last minute Santa is what this weeks TGIF Challenges is all about. 

 

Thank goodness for Stampin' Up! and their super cute Mini Pizza Boxes!  They helped to make a quick and easy gift card holder for all of the ladies in my office.  And talk about last minute...I was finishing these up late last night so I could get bring them in to work this morning!

 

I added a coffee gift card and some yummy chocolates inside...a perfect little treat for winter break!

 

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Be Merry DSP
Ink ~ Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Basic Black

Stamp Set ~ Merry Café

Other Supplies ~ 1/4" Double Stitched Cherry Cobbler Ribbon, Coffee Cup Framelits, Mini Pizza Boxes

 

And we can't forget teacher gifts!  A quick tag on these cute bags I found in the dollar bins at Target were perfect for cookies and a card for my boys teachers.

 

I think I am finally done with my Christmas crafting...at least I hope I am! 

 

I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and enjoy your holiday weekend with those you love most, near and far.

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 



Celebrating 12 Years

Happy Tuesday stamping friends!!!  Today is a special day at our house...our twins, Aidan and Hunter are celebrating their 12th birthday.  It does not even seem possible that they are this old already!  I truly wish time would slow down!  Even though I feel like they are growing up too fast, it is amazing to see how much they change each year and witness the amazing young men they are turning in to.  The bond they share is like no other...something only twins have.

This was their first year to deer hunt, so it only seemed right to make them something deer related.  I never make them the same card, but they are always similar...kind of like them :)

 

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Basic Black, Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Whole Lot of Lovely, Velum

Ink ~ Basic Black, Lemon Lime Twist

Stamp Sets ~ Bookcase Builder, Number of Years

Other Supplies ~ Circle Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Large Numbers Framelits, Happy Birthday Thinlits, Embossing Paste and Stencils, White Accents, Basic Black Bakers Twine

I love the pop of the Lemon Lime Twist with the black and white...it's a good color combo, especially for boys!

 

I think this is the first time in a few years that my boys have had to go to school on their birthday.  They are usually lucky enough to celebrate during their Christmas break, but this year they are stuck going to school.  But we are treating them to a fun dinner at their favorite pizza place and feasting on their birthday cookies.  Yes, birthday cookies!  My kids are weird and never want cake for their birthday :-D

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  If you happen to see my boys today, be sure to wish them a Happy Birthday!

 

Happy Stamping!
