come home for Christmas

I bought this darling figurine for my Christmas exchange gift. I had my sister paint the name of the family farm on the roof of the barn. Oh so cute and a treasure for any member of the Roell family.

Colleen made this beautiful card. It came as a kit that she bought at the stamp convention in Cincinnati. All she had to do was stamp her words on the circles and assemble. Very nice Colleen!

yummy treat

My mother-in-law made this yummy appetizer wreath for our Christmas celebration. 

It was so festive and very delicious!

red and white

This is such a pretty card from my friend Bettie. I love the red and white color combination. Great job Bettie. Thank you so much for thinking of me this Christmas season!

Baby it's cold outside...

My sister did it again. She made me this darling snowman decoration using all amuse products. She cut the snowman out of wood and painted it white. She used all amuse paper, stamp sets and a few dies to decorate him. I love how she used Haunted Mansion on his hat to add more detail. She is amazing and I just can't get over how she comes up with these unique designs. She also added battery operated lights in the front to make it sparkle when turned on.

A closer look at the front...she used "silent night" stamp set on the front of the snow man. So very pretty!

Love how she used "it's a wonderful life" stamp set.

Merry Christmas!

Casey did a beautiful job on her card. The extra embellishments add so much to the beauty of this card. Thank you Casey for a wonderful card. May each and everyone of you have a Merry Christmas!

simple and elegant

My friend Susan sent me this beauty! I love how it is so simple yet so elegant. Thank you Susan!

This lovely card is from my friend Sylvia. Thank you Sylvia!

Merry Christmas

Melissa made this awesome card this year for Christmas. She is so talented and has a great eye for colors and beautiful combinations. Love it...thank you Melissa!

let it snow...

I received a cute card from Shari yesterday. I love the little snow fellow. Shari is very creative with all her cards. She adds the extra touch to make it even better.

Thanks Shari for a great card!

Hark the Herald Angels sing...

I received this homemade Christmas card from Monica this week. It is very beautiful and detailed. Thank you Monica for a beautiful card!

sweet treat

I know we are just less than a week away from Christmas, but I thought it would be fun to share this cute Valentine treat. It is never too early to start on your next holiday project. I found these cute little mailboxes at Target. I decorated it up and added candy inside. A perfect treat for that special someone. You could also give this to your child's teacher and she could put it on her desk and the students could leave her little messages inside.

welcome little one...

I made this  cute little card for both the new parents and grandparents of a little baby boy. My nephew and his wife welcomed a new baby boy to their family. I used let's get merry stamp set and the little baby peeking out of the package is from morning star. I love that little stamp!
Congrats to David and Ali on the birth of baby Benjamin!

O' Christmas Tree

Regina made this beautiful Christmas card! I love the simplicity of it and yet the added jewels really adds to the beauty of this card. Great job Regina!

Christmas craft day!

Our annual stamp club Christmas craft day was a huge hit! I gave each of my stamp club members a calendar for next year and a little treat bag full of goodies! 

We missed you Jeanne and Shari. We will see you both at stamp club in January!

As always, we have a big spread of food! This year we had homemade pizza, taco soup, cheese ball, cheese dip, vege tray, cookie bites and CHEESE....

(shhh....don't tell Luke), but that is his Christmas present Casey is holding. We always have to have cheese at our stamp club and we did it right this time!

We were all hard at work, making Christmas cards, decorating our calendars and having a real good time!

Some of our calendar pages...sorry Regina that I cut your head off.

Thanks everyone for a wonderful year of stamping...I look forward to 2014!

It's a wonderful WINE of the year!

My boss and I went to the Stone Brook Winery for our Christmas dinner celebration last night. It was an old farmhouse turned into a beautiful winery. We had a taste testing of wine...I recommend the Blackberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Pomegranate, and Peach wine... and then a delicious grilled dinner of ribs and chicken. This year we both had the same theme for our gifts to one another....wine.

My gift to her included a decorative box full of goodies to celebrate the season. It had a wine tote, a bottle of wine, napkins, coasters, party pics, and a wine coaster.

Her gift to me was a basket full of wine from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. It also included napkins, wine jelly, a wine spout, her own homemade wine slushy mix, and of course dinner at Stone Brook Winery. Thank you Monica for a wonderful evening of good food, good wine and GREAT friendship!

a very merry Christmas!

My dear friend Karen gave me this card yesterday. I love how she used the traditional Christmas colors of red and green. You can see the shimmer glittery red cardstock and the added jewels. I should have taken a picture of the inside...she added two red jewels to the sentiment. Thank you Karen for a wonderful card!

peace and joy

My friend Doreen sent me this card and I love the simplicity and the beauty of this card. 

Thank you Doreen for thinking of me during this holiday season.

holiday tag

My boss needed a holiday tag so I whipped this one up rather quickly. I used the haunted mansion background and the happy holidays stamp sets. A little sheer organdy ribbon and a very elegant tag was made. Love that haunted mansion background!

My friend, Sylvia was set up at a craft show at North Dearborn Elementary yesterday. Here is a little peek at some of the cute and delicious items she was selling. She took a few of my treats to fill in her table. She has a friend Nancy who makes wonderful candies...as you can see from the photo. Thanks Sylvia! I enjoyed an afternoon of sitting and catching up with you!

winter card

                                               My sister made this winter card for her son for his birthday. 

                                    She used a  tree and deer  trio die along with the dots embossing folder.

                                                 Brown and white paper and of course a little glitter!  Easy!

A perfect card for a winter day!

Sharing thanks....

I wanted to share one of the cards I made for Thanksgiving this year. It was very simple to make. I used kraft cardstock and added a piece of french roast woodgrain. I then stamped the oak leaves on a piece of vanilla cardstock, added a piece of ribbon and a sentiment.
