Cards and a can

Made these cards for my husband's birthday last week.

We all get together at my parents' home on Christmas Eve (4 siblings, husbands, wives and 10 grandchildren). Have been busy altering cans. Made these cans for the children in the family. Personalised them a bit by placing each child's initial on "their" can. Put a bag of candy in each can.

Bits and pieces

I have been busy with all sorts of 'little' things. There is so much inspiration out there it is quite overwhelming. I want to try it all but as the saying goes,"so much to do, so little time".

Here are some of the bits and pieces I've had fun making.

Made the petite version of the Around Town Tote with my own version of a poinsettia (love those flowers at this time of year. They just make me feel so happy!)

Found this tutorial for making these paper poinsettias.

Loved these tags that Bonnie made so I had to make them too. She also provides a great tutorial.

Saw a card on Dawn's blog that I loved. So I used the same colours and some of the elements to make my own.Thanks to everyone for all the great inspiration. Love this hobby.

PTI Blog Hop - November

ETA: No glitter used on this project. Ornament base stamped with Versamark and embossed with 'Opalescent Clear' EP. Pattern embossed with gold EP.

Saw these little bags on Andrea's site last year and have been wanting to make them ever since.

Christmas Tags

Managed to get some little tags done. It's been so hot here and my little craft room gets direct sun most of the day so I have been rather lethargic to say the least. Looking forward to a cooler week next week.

Christmas ornament card

Made this card for this week's challenge on the Hero Arts blog. Got the idea from Andrea Walford's blog, Sunny Stampin.

Christmas Tree and a Bit of Fun...

Finally got to use the Tree Trimming Trio stamps. Used some inspiration from the wonderful Melissa Phillips to make my card.

While I was busy stamping, my daughter saw the stamps lying on the table and thought the tree stamp that I was using was a pizza slice stamp. LOL. Well, I decided to go with her idea and made a quick card to see how it would turn out. It sure has possibilities. Anyone for pizza?

Around Town Tote

Oh I just love Lauren's templates. Made this gift bag for my niece's birthday.
