Oh, my goodness! Only ONE day left in this series! WHEW! (No, seriously. Whew! I’m just dying!) What started out as a HUGE commitment that I was afraid to embark upon has turned out to be a ginormous commitment that I have almost completed! And, of course, it always feels good to finish what you start, right?
I really MUST give a big ol’ shout out to my friend Jeanne, who commented almost every single day this month. She was such an encouragement and proof that at least ONE person was …

Well, it’s Black Friday! The day of all the amazing sales. Wonderful deals on things that we just HAVE to have.
And where was I at 6:00am? At home. My husband went hunting (and bagged quite a few ducks! Blech.), so I stayed home with the boys. I live in an inky-dinky town (which is close to a larger city, so don’t feel sorry for me!), and like most small, American towns, we have a Safeway, a Rite-Aid, and a Walmart.
At about 7:45 I woke Grant up. He said, “What? Do …

Here is another sneak peek at the fabulous soon-to-be-released collaboration digital kit (which I will link up when it goes live!) by Sugarplum Paperie (Nicole Seitler) and Dani Alencar called Waiting for Santa. For the template, I used one of the envelopes from my Mini Envelopes Template Set, which is absolutely the perfect size to hold credit card sized gift cards. I’ll be giving a lot of these little babies to family living across the country, so I am super excited to have re-discovered the Mini Envelopes! I figure that …

For today’s ornament, I whipped out my Hexagon Box Template and some digital papers from a soon-to-be-released collaboration kit (which I will link up when it goes live!) by Sugarplum Paperie (Nicole Seitler) and Dani Alencar called Waiting for Santa.

The Hex Box always makes things look so funky! I love it!
Come back tomorrow when I’ll show you more of this adorable Christmas kit!

As I mentioned earlier, it’s my wedding anniversary today! It has been a lot of fun reminiscing and enjoying time spent with my husband. I didn’t get around to creating anything new for you today, however I do have a couple of older Christmas Papercrafts that you could shove into a tree and call ornaments!! This is all about the inspiration, isn’t it? You guys will forgive me!

I created these two sets with digital papers by Dianne Rigdon and my templates about this time last year. Dianne is the one …

I’m still not sure if this is a papercraft FAIL or not. I thought it would be so cool to use my Sweet Strawberry Template Set to make some little paper Christmas lights. Doesn’t that sound cool? Well, maybe it would work, maybe not. I just couldn’t get them to look right. SO, I decided to make the Sweet Strawberry Template Set into, uh, strawberries. Original, huh?

I mean, some people hang strawberries from their trees! Really! They do! So, here ya …

I had so much fun creating today’s “ornament”. It has been a while since I have played with my famous Cupcake Box Template, and I’m so glad this little challenge forced me to rediscover it! Seriously. What a cute template! This is one that I was super proud to create, since I’ve never seen anything like it, and it has caused quite a stir in the paper-crafting community. I originally created the Cupcake Box Template for the lovely participants of the Stampin’ Out Alzheimer’s fundraiser event back in May …

Look at this stinkin’ adorable little Sassy Purse gift card holder I made to HANG (yes, it is hanging, therefore an ornament!) on my tree!! I used the small version of my Sassy Purse #3 Template Set and some digital papers by Courtney Wilson from The Goose Is Getting Fat kit. You can easily fit two of these onto a single sheet of 8.5×11 paper.
When I make the Sassy Purse #3, I like to reinforce the front clasp and side handles with eyelets, and I close the front with some …
