Starlight, Star bright, first star I see . . . tonight . . . well, almost . . . .

So I was going through all the pictures on my desktop and I realized that I did not post the ones for this starbook I made. Oops. This was for Super Saturday and I think turned out really cute using the SU designer series papers.

I learned how to do this when I was in El Paso, from Tracy Tripp. She has some cool ideas -- obviously!!!

If you are interested in a tutorial on how to do these, please post a comment and let me know. I have two tutorials that I am working on already, and three's the charm right . . .

The ornaments are from that bucket set and wouldn't you know it, I cannot remember the name of it right now. *annoying* They are colored with a blender pen and watercolor pencils and then crystal effects was placed on it and dried so it kind of bubbles up and has a 3D effect.

You could put pictures on the inside of this and also some journaling and it would look just snazzy open or closed on a Christmas tree. Speaking of which . . . is it really thanksgiving already in just a couple of days? I have so much shopping and cooking to do . . . YIKES!!! I shall try to get some cute gift tags I made uploaded before thanksgiving, and there will be no posting from me on Thursday!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones! I think my fa...
