Winter Joy


My friend, Bettie made this beautiful Christmas card. It is a design she created for a fundraiser invitation she made. You can see she puts a lot of love into her card by all the detail you see. Thank you Bettie for such a wonderful card.

the stockings were hung....


This is Shari's Christmas card.
It is a tri-fold card and the ribbon holds the opening flat. When you slide it out and you open it...


you find the rest of the stockings hung with care.....so cute.
Thanks Shari for a great card!

glitz and glitter


I love the card I received from Dona! The picture does not do it justice. I like how she stamped the girl in black with no coloring at all and the glitz and glitter of the ornament really makes this card stand out!
Thanks so much Dona for thinking of me.

holiday spirit


Susan's card just made me laugh....it is so cute and funny as you can almost hear her earrings jingleing.
I love the festive look with all the red and green. Thank you Susan for such a fun card.

Star of wonder...


Casey got very creative with her card. I love how the sentiment is the only thing on the front of the card. However as you open it you will notice the star twirls so as to be seen inside and out.
Great card Casey!

Thank you Melissa!

Happy Holidays


I love getting Christmas cards in the mail this time of year. This one was made by my sister-in-law, Monica. You can't tell too much by the picture but this one has a lot of shimmer to it. Very nice job!

peace on earth


I love the simplicity of this card. I like using french roast ink on kraft cardstock and adding just a hint of color really makes this card stand out. The peace on earth set is one of my favorites.

crazy weather


The weather was crazy yesterday. It looks like snow but it was a thunderstorm that lead to lots of tiny hail balls that covered just about everything...including the roadways.

cute idea


My daughter decided to do a little "12 days til Christmas" gift for her boyfriend this year. The Santa sack contains some very creative ideas with gifts corresponding to each number...for example number 6 is a six pack of beer. How fun it would be to be the recipient of a gift like this.

you are special


My sister made this baptismal card for her new grand-daughter's baptism.
Very special little girl indeed!

Noel


Regina made this beautiful card using the nordic noel set. This is a beautiful stamp set to own.  Her inspiration came from Marisa Alvarez . She used her own color combination to make a replica of Marisa's card. Thank you Marisa for sharing your ideas and great job Regina!

We had good food and good fun all while stamping. What a great way to spend an afternoon!


Good friends make the day even better!

baptismal ornament


My sister designed and painted this beautiful ornament for her new grand-daughter, Ava's baptism. She wrote all the information on the back as to remember the special day. What a wonderful keepsake for baby Ava in the years to come. She is blessed to have such a wonderfully talented Grandma... who loves her so much!

I saw this on the facebook page of  "The Girlfriend Book" and thought it was so cute and had to share. Wouldn't this make a great gift for teachers, friends, co-workers and family?! I might just have to make a few of these.

joys of the season...


A simple Christmas card using the amuse snowflake die, some kraft and petite polka dot cardstock. I love the simplicity of this card. A single chocolate pearl in the center of the snowflake and brown twill ribbon finish off the card nicely.

craft show


LaSalle craft show was a huge success! I shared amuse studio with many of the crafters and the large crowd who came through to see what I had to offer. Thank you so much and I will see you all next year!



I had so many goodies to choose from for your Secret Santa gifts.




. Owls are very popular this year and these sold out quickly.


Cute little gum treats.



I make the nugget candy packs every year and they are always a big hit. One gal in particular bought 38 of them to give to her bridge club and garden club friends.
