Home for the Holidays!


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house! I spent the weekend working with my friend Cheryl Jackson on our Maya Road Home for the Holidays contest entry.

We spent hours, and hours and hours in an already incredibly busy weekend working on this project. It was so much fun, but boy am I tired tonight! Cheryl quilled her but off, can you believe ALL those candies, lollipops, wreath, pole and more is quilled! Man is she talented and PATIENT. I glittered, punched, puffed, painted, stickled, grouted and fiddled.. we made an excellent team. Take a look at my Picassa album for just a sample - and then wish us luck. If you love it, we are going to try and offer a Day long workshop over at Bizzy B's in December. We'll make a smaller house, and your learn the basics of quilling and some of our tricks to creating this calorie free treat!

Let me know what you think... I NEED more comments =)

I also bought a new toy - A bigshot! Whooohooo, I am pretty excited. I have some old sizzix dies that I've pulled out of storage, and I bought a BIGZ die to make little party favours. Of course I didn't get the extra cutting mat I needed, so I had to fiddle around to get it to work. Tried to pick up a mat today but bought the wrong thing - arghh.

Anyways, look for a fun new project tomorrow. I'm in the crafting spirit now.

Santa Baby! Card Camp - Santa Baby!

Card Camp 2008

Sunday was my first Card Camp of the season.. yep, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house! It was a marathon of fun at Bizzy B's Stamp & Scrap - Five hours, 24 cards and LOTS of stickles! There is another session scheduled for November 30, 2008 Noon-5pm. I highly recommend you bring something to snack on.... to keep your energy up!

This one was one of the favourites yesterday - I'll eventually post them all with instructions, but I'm on a deadline for something else and the kids are home on a PD Day, so this one will have to do for today!
