Amazing Christmas Gifts

I hope you all had a great Christmas and that Santa was good to you.  I can't wait to see what everyone creates with their new supplies.  I was so spoiled this Christmas by all of my family.  I am so excited to play with my new Gypsy and cartridges, that my DH gave me.  Don't you just love the card rack my DD got me.  We were out shopping together when we found it and they only had two so we bought each other one.  Also on Boxing Day we did our Christmas with my Step-daughter and I got a printer.  I also went out shopping on Boxing Day and whenever I go into Wal-Mart I go straight to the craft section and the first thing I saw was the Jolly Holidays cartridge that I have been drooling over, so I grabbed it.  We went to Michael's and I got a few Jet Max cubes to try and organize my craft room.  I am back to work tomorrow but as soon as I get it reorganized I will post photos.

**Just to let you know the card rack/display stand is from Home Sense in Canada, it is a division of Marshall's and TJ Maxx.**

                                                              Have a Happy New Year!

Stylish Blogger Award

I have received a Stylish Blogger Award from 2 amazing bloggers.  I just can't believe that people really like my creations.  When I first started scrap booking about 10 years ago it was so overwhelming for me.  My daughter could just whip a page and it looked beautiful.  Ever since I got my cricut last year and started stamping the creativity has just started to flow.  I spend all my spare time crafting now and it is a wonderful hobby for my daughter and I too share.

I would like to thank the Craftsmanda at http://athomeink.blogspot.com/ .  You must check out her beautiful scrapbook pages that she made for a friends baby.
I would also like to thank Sonia at http://archiving-angel.blogspot.com/ .  Sonia gives awesome tips,  shows fabulous finds and  videos showing crafting tools and how to use them.  I have learnt so much from Sonia's blog.

Christmas Cards

I finally got my Christmas cards done and mailed out.  I did basically the same layout for all, just different stamps.  I can't believe I didn't even use my cricut.  All the stamps are Stampin Up.

Vinyl Wall Decor

It doesn't count as spending money on yourself when you buy a cartridge to make a Christmas gift, right?  I bought the Cars Disney/Pixar cartridge and ruby glitter, black, white and yellow vinyl from Oh My Crafts.  I cut the car at 6.5", the "McQueen" at 2" and my grandson's name is AJ and that is cut at 1".  I cut it first out of paper so I knew where all the pieces went and that the size was right.  The frame is a floating frame for an 8"x 10" picture.

Winner

I have picked the winner using random.org

'Tis The Season Blog Hop

Welcome to the " 'Tis The Season Blog Hop".  If you came here from my friend Heather's blog http://princesspaperprojects.blogspot.com/ then you are in the right place.  If you just happened to stop by my blog and would like to follow the blog hop then go to the start at Iva's blog http://ivarai.com/ .

My project is tile coasters.  I went to Home Depot and bought a box of 4 x 4" tumbled marble tiles.  I stamped on them using Staz-On ink.  You do not need to do anything to these tiles to seal them. 

On the tiles below I coloured them with Sharpie permanent markers.  These tiles I did put in the oven at 200 F, for an hour.  They probably don't need to be in there that long but I had them in there while I was doing other things.

After I had made these my husband the handyman decided that they needed a holder.  So he made me these to go with each set of 4 coasters.

I wrapped a ribbon around them tied a bow and added a tag cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.

 My giveaway for this blog hop is these two adorable Peachy Keen Mini stamps.  To be eligible to win you just have to follow my blog and leave a comment.  I will be using ramdom.org to pick a winner on Monday morning. 

The next stop on this blog hop is Ellen at http://lifeatwalnuthill.blogspot.com/ .

Thanks for stopping by.
