I went to my friend's annual Cookie exchange and tag making party which I love. These are all of her designs but we made them all plus we walked away with a HUGe plate of homemade goodies. Love this annual tradition.

My glittery tree pillow. So easy to make with my Cricut where I cut out the tree out of the glitter iron on and than made a simple pillow out of fabric I had one hand. I did a stitch around the outside as well. Love it!

I made like 34 of these for the kids classes. I thought how cute and SIMPLe for them to give everyone a Hot Cocoa mix for a small gift. On the back they have to and from as well.

Stampin up has great Project Life stuff and I purchased (before it was sold out) this adorable cherry cobbler 6x8 album. It is all done up inside and I will show off more as I stick pictures and stuff fin for the holiday season.
I saw a Project Life album done up in a chalkboard scheme and decided to go that route. I love how it turned out!
Thanks for stopping by!

I participated in a Cricut Explore Card exchange and this is the card I made. I have to say I love the staches and used it for the tree again like the kids' shirts.
I used some DSP from Stampin Up and of course did all my cuts out of the Cricut. I love that machine so much!
Thanks for stopping by!

My reindeer shadowbox- isn't it awesome.
I have to say I adjusted the coloring a bit in order for it to pop more for the picture. It is much more softer in person.
So here I am at my favorite craft store (I think they know me by name) and I saw this adorable piece of winter art. It wa alike 15 bucks but I thought to myself I so have a great frame and DSP that work really well with that so I pulled down the frame and the fall picture I had in it and created this masterpiece.
I used Stampin DSP and a cut file out of Design Studio with my Cricut.
I than aded in the snowflakes glitter and shook it around to give it the fresh fallen snow look.
Thanks for stopping by!

I love the countdown calendar idea so I found this chalkboard frame which I got for nothing (I had a ten buck coupon) and I used on hand vinyl which I cut out with my cricut using the slice feature. I love it and it is a great way to see the countdown.

I saw a decal at the store like this and so knew I had my own glitter vinyl at the house to make it.
I made each of the kids a mustache shirt plus I made me a fun tote bag with it on it.
they are so cute and festive.

I love the idea of subway art and how it has taken on a life of its own. I saw this awesome PIN and just fell in love with this idea. I created my own JPEG of my own creation and printed it up on my printer. I embellished it some and than stuck it in the frame. I than added on a the envelope punch board bow on the front.
Here is the JPEG if you would like to print it up for personal use only.

I so loved this Pin creating this fun Deer Art. I loved it so much that well I had to make my own version of it using the Cricut and some of the awesome SU paper that I had on hand.
I decided to cut one more deer out and than I punched the nose and cut the stars out of the the DSP Under the Tree. The glitter frame I had on hand so this project was a cheap one to make and I love it so much. Now I have my deer head my in my style.

I can not believe it is December already and that means Christmas is well on it's way. I love this time of year with the cooler weather, sweaters, and all of the seasons wonderful things. I am kicking off today 12 Days of Christmas Crafts and this one is all about ornaments and specifically the ones made at our December Pinterest Party (we actually held it the last day of November).
Each of us brought an ornament to make for the group so when we left, we would have 12 new ornaments to make. Pinterest is so good for inspiration and for my own ornament I found the cutest tutorial to make cupcake ornaments. I loved the idea and well of course I made it my own.
I used the same basic ideas of the original post but instead I used glitter glue to help with the mess somewhat though it did take a while for it to dry. I love how it turned out and what a cute gift these would make!

I saw over at one of my favorite blogs Christmas Gifts to make . I loved the idea of making the inserts for the frame and went ahead and did my own version of it to give out as gifts to friends. It was a quick gift and it looks so cute and it gives all year.

I have to say I love Christmas. I love the lights, the decorations, and well just being together with the family. I could totally do without all of the presents.
So when Christmas rolls around the house is fully decorated and yes I sort of always have a theme as well.
This is the front door area.
I bought a small pine tree and decorated it with lights. I than took my sign post added the fun decorated sign I made. I got some jeweled letters for NOEL.
I made this wreath to hang on my outside wall. To be honest I don't love it just like it.
Now I really wanted a lantern to decorate and I love it. I used left overs from my wreath party and some burlap ribbon I had intended for my tree topper until I found a tree topper I loved.
The overall front door. I bought a live swag from the store and added the magic santa key into it (hard to see in the picture.
The Christmas tree. I wrapped in burlap ribbon that says Happy Holidays. I wanted Merry Christmas but every where was out so I settled on that. All the ornaments are our fun memory ones. I usually have a color theme and refuse to stick anything on the tree other than the solid balls but this year we got a real tree and it just seemed to fit better.
Here is my piano area. I created the banner from a kit and decorated it all up in festive red and green colors with the pop of the NOEL.
This is my dining room buffet area. I changed it up some with my standard wreath and than added in the Santa sleigh which was also a kit to put together.
This is my family room mantel. We don't have a fireplace so this is a mantel shelf my hubby built. I really wanted to do things in burlap and feel in love with the sign at Hobby Lobby. A friend who came by one day instantly told me how much she loved the sign.
So that is the hose all decorated for the Holidays. Soon it will be filled with family from afar and it won't be so nice looking but there will be lots of love!!!

So today my daughter got in the action. I purchased this fun snowflake printed burlap and we made two pillows, a few gift bags and my 7 year old made a purse with it. She sewed the sides and I helped with the handle which is some left over canvas.

I bought these mason jars for Halloween and forgot about them. So when I was digging things out of my closet, I found them. I was working on another project when it hit me to die cut the snowflake out of the contact chalkboard paper. I wrapped some Washi tape around the outside and than stamped and cut out another snowflake. I have no idea what I will stick in them so them might be decorations!

I have had som many people ask me about how the mesh wreaths are done and I finally said okay I will teach you how so I created this sample which is also one of the preschool kid's teacher gifts. I love making these wreaths and it cheap and fast to create.

I have to take a gift to our stamp club party and I decided to make this sign. It was all from stuff I had around the house. I printed up Merry Christmas on the printer in the font and size I wanted. I than took a piece of cardstock and covered it with the chalkboard contact paper I have.
I than laid the paper over the chalkboard and traced the letters. After that I took the SU chalkboard pen and wrote over the letters and free handed the bottom part.
I covered the mat with some SU DSP and die cut out the banners and the snowflakes. I love how it turned out and I think I might make myself one.

My co-leader with Girl Scouts asked me to do these as a craft and I started laughing because I had already planned on it. There were so easy and I knew our 7 and 8 year olds could create them.
It was a tealight which I picked up from the dollar store. I punched both a large square (cut into thirds) and a small square for the hat. I than took a sharpie marker for the eyes and mouth and a red marker for the cheeks. I wrapped it with the ribbon and taped the hanger in the back.

This Happy Holidays Memo board was so easy to make. I had bought the frame off the clearance rack awhile ago and had it for a project. I had thought that I might do a fun printable in it but than I saw the challenge and it was created.
I used a variety of stamp sets as well as MDS to create the title. I also die cut out the stamped snowflakes which is part of the festive Flurries set (you might notice I really like that set).
