I don’t know about you but when I’m doing my blog, facebook, papercrafts or whatever, I like to have access to a computer at all times or I can’t get into it. Here is some of what I have been up to in no particular order……

Time to get STARTED

2010-10-12T13:43:00.001-03:00

Hi everyone, thought it was time to get started on decorations and gifts for christmas. It creeps up on you, so if you don't start early you don't get everything finished on your list.
These are some snow flakes I made.....I stamped snowflakes on them in -really rust, ruby red and always artichoke. The snowflake stamp is from the Patterned Pines stamp set from Stampin Up. These look lovely on your christmas tree and fill in those bare spots you can't cover.

Here is some match boxes that I made. I knit dishcloths to put in them..2 in each box. The leaf decorations is Sizzlits Little Leaves....The stamp is " a little Something for you" from Stampin Up.

Here are some sock monkeys that I have been making. Their all ready for winter with their scarfs and hats on. I crochet them in all colors and just think they are so cute .

And last these are large coffee mugs that I made using papers and template from My Time Made Easy. I filled them with shredded paper to match mug. When I have them filled with treats I will put them on again.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I've given you some ideas for gift giving. Have a great day :-)

Hi everyone, I’m finally getting around to putting on the Advent Calendar I made. This is the top …I cut the three dancing Santa’s off of a bag I had left over from last Christmas. All of my embellishments are tags and for my handles I used my curly label punch from SU and pinched them together and fastened them on. The numbers are stamped on and scattered about. Hope you like it.

This was fun to make and I think the grand kids will enjoy it.

Birthday Easel Card

2009-11-29T16:42:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone, seems like I haven’t been on in forever. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! This is an easel card with a matchbox holder underneath. I was inspired by Elena of The Red Haired Girl to make this, after I see her fabulous card on Splitcoaststampers .

The stamps that I used here are from the sets Branch Out and Sincere Salutations.

This is a side view of my card. There is a matchbox drawer on each side and I put a brad in each drawer for a handle to open it.

This is the back view, where you can put your verse or whatever you wish.

I would also like to send Birthday Wishes to Wilma of CraftyGran who’s birthday is today and to my sister in Calgary who has a birthday tomorrow. So if you have a minute stop by and wish Wilma a Happy Birthday.

Thankyou for stopping by and happy crafting :-)

Hugs Sandy

Hi everyone, this is a card I made for two challenges on Splitcoaststampers. The Clean and Simple Challenge to make a card that would be easy and quick to make if your were making a lot of them and to use white and one other color. I combined it with the SCS Wednesday Sketch Challenge. I used SU stamps…..Tree Trimmings and Cute and Curly.
Thankyou for stopping by and the weekend is upon us again so I wish you all a good one :-)
