December 5th

It is Monday, December 5th and I have another gift as a post today!  I saw this on Pinterest also and thought it was a really cute idea.  I promise to post a card tomorrow - I have one done but just had to show you this.   Let me know what you think of this!

Have a great Monday!  Hugs, Meg

December 4th

Okay, I am posting a little late today because I had another post that I needed to do earlier.  So, now I am posting another craft that my daughter and I started yesterday and I did some more of today.  We saw this on Pinterest also.  I don't think my brother looks at my blog, so I don't think he will know that I am posting this.  We are giving him and his fiance wine and champagne glasses for Christmas.  We painted the bottoms of the wine glasses with chalkboard paint so that you can take chalk and write your name on it so you never lose your wine glass again.  I think it is an awesome idea.

I wish I could find the chalk but someone has moved it from it's place.  I also did some wine glasses where I sprayed frosted glass paint on the glasses first and then painted the bottoms with chalkboard paint.

I also did some champagne glasses with the frosted paint.  You could also write messages on the chalkboard. I am thinking a wine glass needs to be waiting for Jess, my brother's fiance, that says "Welcome Home Honey"!  What do you think?

Well, looking forward to posting again tomorrow! 

Hugs, Meg

New Beginnings - New Baby

We are starting a new challenge at SSCC - New Beginnings!  Since we are quickly coming up to a new year - 2012 - we are working on projects that are all about New!  Today I am posting a card for a New Baby!  I have used the Stamping Scrapping Stamp Set called New Little One.  It is the perfect stamp set to use for anything for a new baby.

The great thing about the Stamping Scrapping Stamp Sets is that most of the coordinate with a Spellbinders Die Set so that you can stamp perfectly on your die cute.  I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 10 on this card.  I have a friend that is having a baby in the New Year - a little girl.  She was the inspiration for this card.  

This is a criss cross pocket card.  The inside card slips into the pocket and is easily pulled out by the tab attached.  

My ingredient list for this card is as follows:

• Stamping Scrapping Stamp Set - New Little One
• Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 10
• Deja Vu's cardstock and die cuts pad
• Core'dinations cardstock
• Rhinestones
• Inks

Here is a picture of the card that is tucked inside the pocket and a closeup so you can see the beautiful stamps!

I hope this has inspired you to make a creation of your own to enter into the challenge!  I look forward to posting a "New" card next week with another "New Beginning" theme!

Happy Sunday!  Hugs, Meg

December 3rd

Today I am not posting a card on my blog, I am posting something that my daughter made today.  My daughter is 17, and has a boyfriend she has been dating for 2.5 years.  We decided to make some of our Christmas presents today so we were making different items.  She is making a gift basket for her boyfriend's mother and she designed the plates based on something she saw on www.Pinterest.com.  They are really cute, especially if you place your food around the plate to make the face stand out and/or compliment it.  She made 4 different ones.  Here they are:

I will be posting more of the items that we made throughout the week.  We had a lot of fun doing these things together!!

Here is hoping you spend quality time this holiday season with the ones you love!

Hugs, Meg

December 2nd

Well, this is the 2nd day of December and I have another snowman card.  I told you I love snowmen!  This snowman is sparkly but I am not sure you can tell in the picture.  I still think this card needs something else, so if you know what it might need, please leave a comment and let me know.  I will think try to fix it this weekend.

Hope you like it!

Have an outstanding Friday!

Hugs, Meg

December 1st

It is December and now we are all feeling the pressure to make the holidays special!  I have decided to post a different card, project, or something each day for this month!  I am hoping that if I get in the habit now, I will be able to make a New Year's Resolution to make a post on my blog each day in 2012.  We will see if I can do it.

For today's post, I have a Christmas card that I made a few weeks ago with a new stamp I purchased.  I just fell in love with this stamp when I saw it, mainly because I love snowmen, but because it would make such a glittery card!  Everyone knows I love glitter and bling!

Hope you like my Vanishing Snowman card!  Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Meg

Jen's Digi Stamps - Merry and Bright

Today's challenge for Jen's Digi Stamps is Merry and Bright - making a card without using red and green.  I love using blue around Christmas so that is what I did for this card.  I hope you will hop over there and look at the cards created - and that you will create one of your own!

I also made another card using the same digi image but added some red.  That is not what was supposed to be done for the challenge, however I just loved making this card.  Hope you like it!

Have a great day! Hugs, Meg
