Mr. Twigster Snow Globe

Hello my friends,

While here in SouthWestern Ontario, Mother Nature has decided to give us some white stuff the last few days. I love how the snow looks on the tree's and ground but I hate driving in it!! With all the snow, I'm feeling a little Festive. I know my girls are very excited to have the snow!!!

Tonight is my Stamper's 6 club. This group of friends decided to rejoin my stamp club again and I'm so excited to have them in my home once a month. This time around we will be making cards and cute gift packages to hold all those cards in.

I really love Mr. Twigster and thought he would be fun to create some cards with and a cute package. I will be showing you one card we are making now and the rest of the projects tomorrow.

One of my favourite things at Christmas is Snow Globes. I love how you shake everything up and in a few minutes everything is back to normal.I thought Mr. Twigster would look great in a snow globe with some glistening snow around him. Let me know what you think of him??

Last sample from Big on Christmas Class

Good Morning,

When I first saw this wheel in the catalogue, I knew that I just had to have it. It's the Santa's Lineup Wheel and it coornidates with the Holiday Line up Stamp set. How fun is that??

I decided to pair it up with the Happy Holidays stamp from the Big on Christmas set. I love how this turn out. Stampin' wheels are so much fun as there's so much you can do with them....use them on cards, layouts, tags, make your own wrapping paper, and so much more.

More Big on Christmas Class samples

Hello,

I hope you had a great weekend. It's been a fun one around here. We had 3 hockey games this weekend and Mother Nature decided that we should have some SNOW to add to the fun. Both of my girls were so excited to see the Snow and seeing all that white stuff on the ground just brings out the Festive mood in all of us. I think I saw on a blog today that there is only 38 days till Christmas. Yikes, I need to start shopping!!

I wanted to share with you another sample from my Big on Christmas class from the other night. The ladies really had a great time and love all the cards that they made.

On this card we used the Holiday Treasure Designer Series Paper along with Riding Hood Red and Chocolate Chip. This would make a great card for mass production!!

Hello my friends,

I'm so glad that it's the weekend. I have had a very busy week and I'm so looking forward to spending some quiet time at home with my family.

Last night I had so much fun sharing my love of stamping with Paula and her friends. Paula had her friends over for a potluck supper and then had me in for a workshop. Paula and her friends had fun learning about Stampin' Up products while making 2 Christmas cards and a cute package. They a super duper time and love the projects that we made.

I created my workshop projects around the ever so cute Mr. Twigster and the new Frosty Day Designer Series Paper. The cute package was inspired by my friend Heather.

Love Snowman!!

Hello,

I'm very excited as tomorrow night is my Big on Christmas class. I can't wait to show the ladies how fun this stamp set is to make cards with. They are making 10 cards, 2 each of 5 different designs. The fun part about our class is that after they are done, they each take home their own Big on Christmas stamp set. How fun is that??

I have to tell you that I just love snowman and can't resist buying them at this time of year!!

I love the snowman in the Big on Christmas stamp set and I had a really hard time not using him for all 5 cards as he is so stinken' cute!!

I saw this cute card over on Kimberly's blog StampinByTheSea. Swing on over to check out her amazing work. 

I love the colours on this card as they are non traditional. I used the Urban Garden Designer Series Paper along with Baja Breeze, and Basic Grey. It's hard to tell from the picture, but I popped up the snowman in the saying Let it snow!!

Scrapper's 6 Club

Hello,

I would like to take this moment to think about all the Soliders that have fought in the War for us to protect our country and provide us with the freedom that we have today. My thoughts are with them and their families as we remember this Special Day!!


I very excited as tonight is our monthly Scrapper's 6 club and I can't wait to see all the ladies. Tonight, I will be showing them how beautiful our Simply Scrappin Kits are. I will be showing them layouts from the I Wish Simply Scrappin' kit. I have create 3 double page layouts and still have tons of supplies leftover to make 2 more layouts or cards. This kit just goes on and on.

I know, I know... Im just getting around to scrapbook last year's Chrismtas photo's. I find Christmas really hard to scrapbook because of all the hustle and bustle. I'm really pleased how this layout turned out and love how easy it came together with the Simply Scrappin' kit. If you have not given our kits a try, I encourage you to order one and see for yourself how simply they are. Email me at ca.granger@sympatico.ca to order one today!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,
