wild rose

The retired set wild rose makes some very beautiful cards. If you are lucky to have this set in your collection, then here is a beautiful card design that can be used for every occasion. 

Let it snow...

Is this not the cutest snowman you ever saw?! My sister painted these up for several craft shows this year. They are just darling and I can't wait to get my hands on mine! Thanks Shari!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone of you. May your blessings be abundant!

Enjoy today with all your family and friends!

Thanksgiving Cards

My sister was busy making Thanksgiving Day cards.
Each one is a bit different but they are all just beautiful!

Thanks Shari for sharing these with me. I love my card!

Snowman mints

These were hot sellers at my craft shows...love the little snowman mint treats. Great stocking stuffers!

more holiday decor

Alison and Collin continue to decorate for the holiday season. I thought this was very pretty how they hung their stockings on a side board cabinet and added a little greenery with lights. The trio of white candles to top it off...just beautiful!

Table decor

Alison and Collin are getting into the holiday spirit a little early. They made these beautiful table centerpieces using an assortment of colorful ornaments and beading. 

small notebooks

Another cute little stocking stuffer for my craft shows are these little notebooks. I cover them with cardstock and stamp an image or add one to the front to dress them up. These were very popular and went fast.

Cute treats

I sold these candy bags at my craft show last weekend. These were a big hit...it must have been Santa's cute buckle topper. I put candy in a white treat bag and added the topper and sold them for $1.00. What a great little gift for your co-worker or secret Santa gift.

thankful for you

Our thankful for you sale is still going on...if you haven't ordered yet and still want to, you have time. Contact me to place an order or you can visit my webstore and your order will be shipped directly to you.

Happy shopping!

simple holiday name tag

Using the alphabet die set I created a simple personalized tag for a holiday package. Emily's name was perfect for adding the little heart to make it look like the "i" was dotted.

Fun day at LaSalle

My table was full of goodies for your secret Santa or stocking stuffers but by 2 hours in I had sold out of  quite a few items and had to reorganize to make it look like I had some items to sell. Great day at the craft show! Thanks to everyone who came out and braved the stormy weather...and a special thanks to my two beautiful helpers!

Emily and Allison....look at that beautiful jewelry they are sporting! My neighbor, Lisa, at the craft show has beautiful stones that you can make into necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

santa gift

I got a call yesterday from someone needing a Santa gift for this weekend. I put together a few of my craft show items in this cute container and added some ribbon and a cute label. It is the perfect little gift! 

more pillow box candy

I have one more craft show this weekend and it's a big one. I decorated more pillow boxes and filled them with candy. I love the little reindeer from the sweet wishes stamp set from amuse studio. The added jewel to Rudolph's nose is the perfect touch.

it's winter time...feed the birds

Emily made this birdhouse in her OT class at XU. 

She did a really good job.

baby shower fun

Here is the baby shower gift I put together for Ali. I went with a farm theme since they are grain farmers and we are dairy farmers. I incorporated both into one cute little gift.
See anything familiar Casey? 

Ali will be prepared and ready for that baby with all these gifts. 

We played some fun games at the shower, including BABY Family Feud! 

Great job Andrea and Mary on such a fun game. 

holiday tag

I have done several craft shows this month and this was a design I did on some coasters I sold. I thought it would make a nice guy tag. I used winter stag and peace on earth stamp sets. You can't see too much of the sparkle on the tree but I used a quickie glue pen and some diamond glitter. 

holiday candy jars

I have had these cute little candy jars at my craft shows in the past but this year I decided to change them up a bit. I usually decorate the lid and after the holiday season you put it away. This year I cut circles with my spellbinder out of a thin magnetic sheet and made different lids for several holidays. This way you can keep your candy jar out on your desk year round full of your favorite treat. 

These are the four holidays I chose to make for my candy jars. These would make perfect gifts for your co-workers, teachers, and friends. 

birthday girl

Here is another creation from my sister. 

Ava is one lucky little girl to have such a talented grandma!

It's a boy!

I made this cute tag card with lots of dots and little peanuts stamp set. The base card is sky cardstock and the ink is ocean. I inked the edges of the tags that were cut out from the tag die set. I stamped the elephant on seattle cardstock and cut him out and popped him on the tag. A little ribbon on the tags added the finishing touch. 

woo hoo for you!

My sister's little grand-daughter Ava turned one last month and this card is perfect for the occasion. Shari does an amazing job on all her cards.

spooky

These are the Halloween cards I made this year. I enjoyed creating the scenes using various amuse studio products. The purple sky was some cardstock that I found in my stash. 

craft show season

Tis the season for craft shows. I participated in my church's craft/vendor show this past weekend. It was  great to share amuse studio with everyone. I make a variety of treats using amuse studio for all your secret Santa and stocking stuffers. Thanks to everyone who came out to see me!

A few close ups of some of my treats.

Amuse has some amazing stamp sets for the November spotlight. A savings of 10% on these 5 stamp sets.

Spooky treats

Regina made these spooky treats for all her Halloween guests. Great job Regina! I love the look of the lime cardstock and black polka dot.

you're a scream!

Our Halloween trick or treating was postponed last night due to bad weather so it is appropriate that I still post a few more Halloween cards. This lovely card is from Melissa. My daughter Emily would not like this card at all because she dislikes mice so much, however I think it's a "scream"!
