Let's Do Coffee

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is my day to share a project over on the PPPR blog.  I am so excited to show you the project I created with Lisa's cute files!!

I love how cute this is!!  The card base is a recent release from PPPR, which you can find HERE.  The absolutely adorable coffee pot is from the amazing Java Great Day Cutting Files. You can buy your own HERE.

The sentiment is from my favorite new stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps, called Coffee Sentiments.  It was in the December release and I loved it so much, I bought it the first day it was available.  

Be sure to pop by the PPPR blog every day for some cute inspiration from all my fellow Design Team Divas!

Reindeer Food

Merry Christmas everyone!  It's challenge day over at PDE Linky Parties.  Miss Janis, challenged us to create any crafty project.  I love me some creative freedom...   Here is what I created.

Every year the kids make reindeer candy to sprinkle on Christmas Eve.  Usually I grab a free label off the web.  This year I decided to try to create my own.  I created this in my Silhouette Studio.

I fond some cute snowflake digi paper, and changed it's transparency, so it wasn't too dark.  I then found a really cute reindeer file.  It's from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon.  You can find it HERE. 

The poem is the same as you can find on most bags of Reindeer food.  I just typed it out and then made it fit on my label.  You have to fill it and change the line color so everything prints in the same color.

Here is a screen shot of my Silhouette Studio, whit my completed tags:

Of course, we then made some reindeer food - some oats and lots of glittery sparkling sugar and sprinkles.  The reindeer and Santa seemed to find their way to our house, and I will have 2 happy kids when they wake up!
  

I hope you all play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you create!

12 Tags of Christmas Day 12

Happy Friday everyone!!  Anyone who visits my blog regularly, knows how much I love to make Christmas Tags.  This year, I decided to do a "12 Tags of Christmas" series of posts.  Today is Day 12 - can you believe it??

For today's tag I dug out some of my old stamp sets and a new die.  Here it is:

The tag is from Jaded Blossom.  It's their Luggage Tag Die.  I decided to try some water painting.  I used 3 Tim Holtz Distress Ink, after embossing the sentiment and snowflakes.

The sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Stamps "Christmas Expressions".  I have owned it for many years.  The snowflakes are from and old Stampin Up set called "Merry and Bright".  The "to and from" are from CDDs Tag It set - I love that one...

I can't believe that today is the last day of my series!  This has been a lot of fun.  Today the kids and I packed up a bunch of tags for their teachers and bus drivers.  I sure hope they like them.  I'll be back with more tags in the New Year, and hope to do this little series again next year.  

Wishing you all a blessed season and Merry Christmas!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!  Anyone who visits my blog regularly, knows how much I love to make Christmas Tags.  This year, I decided to do a "12 Tags of Christmas" series of posts.  Today is Day 9.

I know I already did a manger tag, but I could not resist this lovely nativity scene.
