Birthday Card for my Dad

I used my new Machine and made my Dad's birthday card and envelope. I really like my new machine it rocks... The difference between the new one and the other two I have is the detail work that this one can do. It seems to cut really great definition pieces. I also like the flexibility of having so many images.

I used three papers from Stampin Up!

Whisper White

Holiday Lounge Designer Series Paper

Bermuda Bay.

Thank you cards

This is the card that I did for my thank you cards. I used the Build a Brad and the Medallion Stamp from Stampin Up! I love this stamp. When I first saw in in the "New" catalog I loved it but thought what would I do with it? I am going to try and 4 more things with it. That's my New Year's resolution use all of my stamp sets on five projects.

Valentines Card #1

It is only three days before Christmas and I am already designing my Valentines day cards... I know I am so crazy... :) Let me know what you think..

Here is my modified Tammy project. I ran out of tins and Frankie said let's use CD cases. So thanks for the great Gift Card holder project tammy.

When you run out of tins and are determined to do Tammy's project anyway.

Christmas Gifts

So today is Saturday December 19th and other than my husband's stocking stuffers I am completely done with Christmas preparations. Done Shopping, cooking, and wrapping too!!!! Because of the snow I may be off of work for the rest of break as well we will see. Here are the gifts that I gave for the teachers and Frankie's co-workers. I baked for two weeks straight. These containers had:

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Peanut Butter Fudge

Chex Mix

Turtles

Sugar Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies

White Chocolate Macadamenia Nut Cookies

Carmel Corn

I always say every year that I am going to have a better plan but next year I am going to have a better plan. Might even make myself a little calendar starting in November.

I ended up making snowflake ornaments for my co-workers and put them in a tin that we did at Stamp Club this month but I forgot to take pictures of this so i am going to try and steal one from one of the girls when we are back from break to see if I can photograph it. Thanks Tammy for the excellent Idea. My next post I will show you how I modified it when I ran out of tins. Thanks Frankie for that idea.

New York City

Hello from the Big Apple or should I say New Jersey.... We came up to New Jersey yesterday and took the train into the city... OMgosh.... how wet and cold was it... We took my friend Brenda and her two kids into New York City. I can't believe how many people can be in the same place at the same time rain or shine.

I think everyone had a good time. We went to Rockafeller center, Toys R Us, and the American Girl Store. We were right in the middle of Times Square too!!!! More pics later or check out my FB page.
