My Stampin' Up! Classes

Sending Christmas thanks

 
Today I made a couple of these thank-you cards for wonderful Christmas gifts - one for my kids' grandparents, and the second for the lady I help out. I started with a Whisper White card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") and added a layer of Pool Party card stock. You might recognize the designer paper even though it's retired. The only stamp set used is also retired and called Four You. I used a tag topper punch on a 2" x 3" piece of Whisper White for the tag and added the ruffled ribbon and button with twine.
 
I find there's always someone to thank and something for which to be grateful. I'm excited to start my family's Good Things jar - a jar where we'll write a weekly good thing that happened to us, date it, and put it in a jar. Then on New Year's Eve 2016, we'll sit down and go through our Good Things.
 
Here's wishing you a wonderful 2016 full of your own good things.

Christmas card, weekly deals and 2016

Weekly Deals

Here are the last weekly deals of 2015, so enjoy! The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-Bration Catalog go live on January 5, 2016. Right now, though, there are these terrific deals, along with items found on the Clearance Rack.

I don't know about you, but I'll be making thank-you cards today and tomorrow. I'm down to zero in my stash! At the top is one of the Christmas cards made with stamps I purchased downtown. The town where I live is also known as Little Norway. Inside the card it says "God Jul" or Merry Christmas in Norwegian. I used retired SU! specialty designer paper and SU! markers.



I saw this idea about filling a jar with good things that happen every week and decided to do it! I think it'd be wonderful sitting down with family and friends at the end of the year and reading good things. Such a great way to end the year on a positive note! I wish you a Happy New Year and all the best in 2016.

Great paper, tags and framelits for Weekly Deals

Weekly Deals

Happy Tuesday! I've got a long to-do list this week, including filling out and mailing more Christmas cards, and making more tags. I've been making all kinds of holiday goodies - many with my daughter - for the past week. My family loves that... and there's some bagged up and ready for delivery to friends and neighbors. Best of all, I get to enjoy lunch at a new-to-me restaurant with one of my friends and a fellow crafter. It's going to be a great day! I hope you enjoy yours.

Oh, and if you don't remember, the Weekly Deals are good thru Monday night. Be sure to check out the additions to the Clearance Rack too. Not only will these save you money when you make your own gifts, many make great gifts all by themselves!

Take advantage of these great deals this week. They're good thru Monday night!

My daughter and I finally got some Christmas decorations up inside the house. It makes a difference. I think her favorite piece is a countdown to Christmas - she knew exactly where to put that! We have been doing crafts almost every weekend. One weekend we made a fresh boxwood wreath, then a gingerbread house, baking cookies.... Life is good. I hope it is for you, too.

Weekly Deals and Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar

Weekly Deals

There's only a month left to order from the Holiday Catalog, then the Occasions Catalog will be here and our Sale-a-bration Event! Fun, fun and more fun! It's been a wonderfully relaxing day of baking snickerdoodle cookies (my son's favorite) and stamping some gift tags. I hope you're enjoying December so far. The kids and I participate in the Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar. Yesterday (Day 1) was to phone someone you haven't talked to in quite awhile. Today, it's picking up trash. I love that these small acts really brighten others' days. I've included the link above if you'd like to do the Acts of Kindness with me.
