Jingle all the Way

I am hooked on the Stampin' Up! Decor Elements. When the line was released a few years ago I said, "I'll never buy or sell those". Oops! I currently have a wall hanging in my craft room made out of them, jars embellished with them, and now a Christmas decoration. Did I mention another order of them on the way too? Shhhhhh. Don't tell the hubby!

This Jingle all the Way wall hanging will go in my foyer for the holidays. The cool part is I added the vinyl lettering to the glass of the frame so next year I can swap a different background of Designer Series Paper for a completely different look. For this year, I used Stampin' Up! Newsprint Designer Series Paper. It was the perfect musical match for my Jingle all the Way Decor Elements.

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!

Holiday Greetings Card

My new recruit, Amy Papale, had her first Stampin' Up! Open House last week. It was a great success! She had approximately 19 guests attend the party.

This Holiday Greetings Christmas card was one of her make-n-takes we came up with for the party. Amy has a great eye for color combinations and swears by her Stampin' Up! Color Coach . I love the soft Bashful Blue against the Crumb Cake color card stock. Way to go Amy!

Have a great week and happy stamping!

Northern Flurry

I'm back!!!!! It's been a "flurry" of happenings in my life over the past few weeks.

I am excited to tell you I got a management position at my place of employment that I have wanted for a really long time. I start my new position on Monday.

Two weeks ago we took a trip to visit family in North Carolina. We got home and a member of my husband's family had to go to the hospital. Everything is starting to settle down now - finally.

Although life can be a "flurry", making Christmas cards doesn't have to be with the new Stampin' Up! Northern Flurry Embossing Folder. I love embossing folders because they make a card so quick & easy with superb results.

To make my snowflakes stand out a little more on this card, I sponged Whisper White Craft Ink lightly over the embossed image and popped each flake with a Stampin Up Basic Rhinestone.

I hope you are enjoying fall. It's a beautiful season and great time to stamp or scrapbook. Enjoy your day & happy stamping!
