December Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring December's SOTM, which is Year-Round Cheer, a set of 12 stamps. I love this set.  There is a stamp for each month and would work great for decorating a calendar or I did making a year's  set of cards.  

If you have come here from Vicki Price's Blog, you are on the right path! If this is your first stop, you may want to go back to Helen's Blog and start from the beginning! This month we have close to 60 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go.....

I made a set of 12 cards with a box. I had fun using our Glitz glitter glues to decorate the images and our bakers twine in all of the luscious colors.

I used the following:

S1212 Year-Round Cheer stamp set

X254 50 White Card & Envelope Pack

1385 Daisy White Cardstock

1386 Black Cardstock

Z1751 Harvest Bakers Twine

Z1702 Paradise Bakers Twine

Z1701 Neutral Bakers Twine

Z1769 Almond Glitz

Z1771 Green Glitz

Z1484 Red Glitz

Z1483 Bronze Glitz

Z1482 Silver Glitz

Z1313 Stardust Glitz

More Christmas

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I sure did.  We get a 4 day weekend and boy was it nice.  I had time to do errands, craft, rest and of course eat:)  Here are some ornaments (ala Stephanie Ackerman) that I made...I just need to add some ribbon and they are ready to go on the tree when we get one.  

I also made a mixed media painting of Santa for my Whimsical Winter Workshop I am taking from Christy Tomlinson.  She made a Father Christmas style but I just love the modern Santa I grew up with..you know the jolly fat little guy!!

 I also worked on the December Stamp of the Month artwork and will share them on the afternoon of Friday, November 30th, as part of the Close To My Heart, Stamp of the Month Blog Hop so check back to see what I and about 60 other consultants did using  this stamp set.  Here's a picture of the images in this set.

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

I had my Christmas Card Workshop a couple of weeks ago and here are my 50 cards ready to be addressed and mailed.

I am also taking part in Tracy Weinzapfel's Mixed Media Holiday Card Swap
Here are my 10 cards I will be swapping.  

I am feeling good about being a bit ahead of the holiday game.  It probably won't last but for now I am good...hohoho

So Blessed

I am so blessed to be an Awana Leader.  Each Wednesday I get to hang out with a group of amazing 5 to 7 years olds who are eager to learn, love, trust and serve Jesus.  I am certain I learn more from them than they do from me!  I just love their precious child-like faith and strive daily to just trust like they do.  I just love these little guys!!!  Last night, Aliyah, one of my precious clubber's gave me a picture she had drawn for me (can I just tell you my heart just melted when she gave it to me) and I just had to share.  

I am feeling so loved!!!!  Thank you Aliyah:) 

 

So Thankful!!

I spent a little time playing this weekend.  I wanted to get more done but the vog (volcanic "smog" we get when we have Kona winds) has really been bugging me...ugggg... sore throat, sinuses and coughing like a seal....anyway I finally forced myself to play yesterday.  I was messing with some tags ala Tim Holtz and here is one I made to go on a Thanksgiving Day card. I spritzed, sprayed, stamped, coiled some wire and cut some leaves with the Circut.  I really was fun and I am pretty happy with how it turned out.  I have a few other tags to finish maybe tonight and then I will post them.
