Brewing Up Something Sweet

This is my second sample that I shared with other demonstrators in a demonstrator only swap for the new Holiday Catalog. Have you had a chance to look? Pretty fun stuff, eh?

My other sample was a Christmas one, but this sample uses Sweet Hauntings stamp set. I originally purchased this set to use with sweet treats to hand out for Halloween. I wanted to make something with the tombstone images and the coordinating tag punch. (LOVE when Stampin' Up! makes coordinating products. Makes life so much easier.)

But of course, my card didn't use any of it. Instead, I used the "potion" bottles. I love the different shapes. (And yes, I added my dazzling diamonds to give it some more pizzazz.) I also made the center images askewed. It's the trend right now and I have to say, it was the perfect twist to this card.  Another favorite item from the Holiday Catalog is the spider web doilies. I love that one side is black and the other white. Fun stuff!!

May Your Season Sparkle

It's hard to think of Christmas when it is high 90s here in southern California, but I needed to get this card mailed out to the other demonstrators. With every new catalog, someone organizes a swap where we all pick a stamp set and share our creations. This is one of my samples. My other one will be shared later this week.

This Sparkling Season stamp set also has a coordinating thinlits die (useful with the Big Shot). I love any stamp set that has a coordinating punch or a bigshot die. You also know that I LOVE dazzling diamond glitter and this set is perfect for it. But I also see a lot of potential with this set. It could be used for every possible occasion you can think of. Check out the new Holiday Catalog for other fun products as well!

12 Days of Giveaways--Day 11 (Birthday Gifts)

Today's gift was meant for my friend, Yvonne. She had been ill and was waiting for a lung transplant but before that could come to fruition, she passed away. Too soon! So as I reflect on today's celebration, I feel bittersweet. Sad that my friend passed away but also feeling blessed that our family is ever growing and healthy.

Sophia's personalized hair pin holder

Today was a very special day for our family where we celebrated Sophia's 1st birthday. James has a very BIG extended family and we are all very close. Only problem, we live so far apart that our children hardly get to play with each other. But no matter how long it has been or if they are meeting for the first time, they ALL get along. It is such a blessing!

Birthdays around this time of year also reminds me of why we as Christians celebrate this season. So in honor of birthdays and celebrating life, I'd like to give this Cherry on Top hostess set as today's giveaway.

Click here and here for samples that I posted using this stamp set.

To enter this random drawing, please leave me a comment, "like" my page/post, and/or book a party with me for the new year! US Residents only please.

Day 10's lucky winner is Patty Pineda. Congratulations!
