Yet another great giveaway is happening over here. Here's what's at stake! The thought of winning the ATC and card are actually what's most exciting to me.

New Pendants

Here are some pendants I made using Hero Arts stamps. Each image is sealed with either UTEE or Diamond Glaze. I found that Diamond Glaze looks much better. I'm not a huge fan of the one on the left in the first picture, but I'm satisfied with the rest.

Thanks for visiting!

Homemade Ornaments

Here are some Christmas ornaments my mom and I made last year. The first four were made using rubber stamps from Holly Berry House. You stamp each image multiple times, glitter, and then piece the layers together. We've always changed our ornaments each year, but these made us want to use them forever. They were well worth all the hard work. We have another batch of different Holly Berry House Stamps ornaments coming this year.

These are ornaments we made a few years ago. The snowflakes are actually paper towel/toilet paper tubes that have been sliced, flattened, painted, glittered, and glued together. The other two ornaments were from Martha Stewart kits from Michaels.

Here are the ornaments I made with my 4th graders last year. This one is mine. The idea came from Martha Stewart's website. We used the little sticker pictures they give us for each student. They worked perfectly, and the moms loved them!

Here's an idea I've been working on to make with my students this year. I've pretty much ruled it out though; there's too much detail in these for their little hands. I may make some for myself, though.

Back with another great giveaway! I've had an entire week off, and I haven't made anything. Terrible. Anyway, here's the link!

Hello everyone! Check out this great blog. There is a great surprise if you end up visiting!

Oops. Here's a card I made a while back that I forgot to post...........

Here's a great way to brighten Christmas for kids who will have to spend this special day in the hospital. Kate McRae (of Cards for Kate fame) and her mom are hosting a donation drive for patients and families that will be spending their holidays in the hospital. You can find the details here. I know I'll be sending in lots of items. What a fun, easy way to spread the holiday spirit!

Here's a banner I made for a friend's kid's birthday party. These are the in progress pictures where I was testing out color combinations; I'll post the completed project when she sends me the pics. I used a chipboard album I bought in the dollar section of Michaels, and I cut my letter and background with my Making Memories Slice. I ended up loving the results, and I'm considering making a video tutorial soon.

Patterned papers by Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses. Hero Arts Christmas tag stamp set.

Stamps by Hero Arts, Poinsettia Bloom, Floral Plate, Dots and Flowers.

Here are two Christmas cards I entered in the Hero Arts glitter challenge for last week. I didn't have tons of time to create, but I'm happy with the results. Thanks for stopping by!
