Christmas Wreath

How many of my fellow paper crafting, rubber stamping buddies begin Christmas preparations this early? Me! Me! Me!

LOL! A little group of us gals enjoy getting together almost every week and we each take turns to come up with a project to work on at our gatherings.

This absolutely Beautiful wreath was designed by Dreaming Tree and my dear friends...Liz and Debbie joyously cut on their Cricut to create this project!

My contribution is the background gold foil designer paper and the various little gold bling dots and of course, one of my favorite embellishments, the Fleur de Lis.

Hmmm...now that I am eagerly awaiting my Stampin' Up! pre-order from the All New and up-coming, spectacular Holiday Catalog, which goes live for everyone on September 1st...not patiently, mind you...here I am a tap-tap-tapping on my keyboard...oops! I just saw the mail truck go by...later y'all!!!

Happy Stampin'!

Paper Cone Wreath

Happy New Year!

With the New Year comes new ideas, new projects and new crafting adventures!

This project is a Birthday Gift for a beautiful aunt and God-Mother of mine...she is turning 80 this month!

She loves pretty pastel colors, so this is what I came up with! Although it is not SU, I used my next best loved designer paper series Graphic 45. 

I did manage to use some retired crocheted flowers in the center along with some pretty pink retired  Stampin' Up! chevron ribbon.

Let me know what you think! Would love to hear from you!

Happy Stampin!

~ Wreath ~

Last week I was blog hopping and came across an absolutely beautiful wreath and I had to make one for myself. It was not too difficult but did entail lots of glue and staples.  

The original and a tutorial for this project can be found on http://stampininspirations.blogspot.com/ by Maria Bell. Her work is amazing!!! Please stop by her blog to see some of her other wonderful projects. 

Now the house is somewhat decorated for Valentine's Day and my upcoming class this Saturday, January 15th at 10am ~ 12 noon. We will be making some cute Valentine cards and a gift box.

Happy Stamping!
