Valentines entry for Mojo Monday

Mojo Monday 273 entry
This is my Mojo Monday enter for this week. I have been thinking about my Valentines class and that's why I chose Valentines Day.  This was a fun card to make.  Here's what I used:
Real Red c/s #102482    marker  #100052
Regal Rose c/s  #105130  (not sold separately)
Pretty in Pink c/s  #100459  marker  #100045
Whisper White c/s #100730
Gumball Green c/s #126840  (not sold separately)
Daffodil Delight c/s #119683  marker  #119677
More Mustard marker (not sold separately) 
Soft Suede marker  (not sold separately) 
Red Glimmer paper  #121790
Dazzling Details  #124117
You Are Loved stamp set  #123777(w) #123779 (c)
Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder  #120175
Pearl Basic jewels  #119246 
Small Heart punch  #117193
Owl Builder punch  #118074
Blossom Petals Builder punch  #121808
Bird Builder punch  #117191
Full Heart Punch  #119883
Big Shot Die-Cutting machine  #113439
Hearts Collection Framelits  #125599
Pretty in Pink ribbon
 MDS 2+

The center heart was cut with the Heart Collection Framelits and this is what I used the markers on.  After it thoroughly dried I used the Dazzling Detail on the center to make it extra sparkly.  The heart flowers were made with the small heart punch and the small heart on the owl punch.  The leaves were made with the Blossom Petals punch and I ran it through a crimper for the vine like petals.  I used my MDS 2+ to make the "Happy Valentines Day" and then punched it out with the Full Heart punch.  I ran the background paper through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder to give it dimension  and the beauty it deserves to be a Special Valentines Card.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. 


And to All a Goodnight

It's hard for me to believe that another Christmas is gone and we are off to a New Year.  It's hard for me to take down my decorations because I really love this time of year.  Everything is bright with all the lights, the houses are all decorated up,  the weather is changing daily (we've already had snow-have you?)  and I just think everyone becomes a little more crafty-making homemade ornaments, cookies, candies--everyones homes has the Christmas smells---well I just LOVE IT!  So I had to make another Christmas card this morning but today I did it using my MDS 2+.  Do you have it?  I love it.  I like mixing and matching stamps with paper or embellishments with ribbon or sayings with other sayings.  With the MDS2Plus it is ALL there.   It is just a fun way to make cards, scrapbook pages-oh and did I say you can add your own pictures and make a scrapbook.  Yes you can.  And when your done you can save it and send it off to be printed.  Without leaving your own home.  It is wonderful.  Check it out herehttp://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=130646

Petal Cone Die Santa

This was really easy.  I needed something to put candy in for some cute kids in my neighborhood.  So I decided to make a Santa box to put some candy in.

Here is what I used:

Real Red C/S  #102482
Using the Real Red C/s cut 2  using the Petal Cone Bigz die #121810.  Cut the side piece off 1 end and connect them together with red sticky  tape to form a four sided pointed box.
1-WhisperWhite C/S # 100730 petal cone
WhisperWhite C/S  petal cone and then cut out 1 side to make the beard,  cut off the whisper white about 1/3 " from the point. 
Embossed this  with  an embossing folder to make it have some beard like hair.
I use Pink Pirouette C/S #111351 and the ex large oval punch #119859.
Pretty in Pink ink #126955 for the rosy cheek
Using the wing from the bird punch #117191 (cut 2 and emboss) is  his mustache
The circle punch in the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack #118309 are his eyes
The 3/4" circle punch is his nose in Real Red C/S
 The 2 3/8 Scallop Circle punch #118874 is the edging around the face of his hat.  I used Silver Glimmer paper #124005 and the Boho Blossoms punch #119858
On his nose and eyes I used the uni-ball Signo gel pen #105021

This will be a fun gift to give to the kids.  I can't wait to see them tomorrow.

A Card for you! Merry Christmas!

Can you believe how fast Christmas has gotten here again.  It seem like when I was young it took forever to get here.  And now every year it comes much quicker.  Although I love this time of year my only wish is that it would be around longer.  I love all the decorations, the lights, all the festivities- everywhere!  The schools, the malls, cookie exchanges, secret santa gifts, family parties,  work parties, cheer parties, almost everyone likes something special at the holidays.  I think we have so much going on that what makes this season go by so fast. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year!  I can't wait to hear about all the special things that happen this time of year.  One of my special things is a friends husband had hip replacement about 10 days ago.  I have been praying that he has a speedy recovery.  Although, i don't know him I do know his wife and daughter and I just know what a blessing it is to see him feel better.  Well last night we were at our schools Basketball game and they came to the game.  He was on his crutches,  had to be very careful around all the people but he came.  He got to see his daughter cheer, his friends got to talk to him and they had a family outing.  I had been praying for him many times a day and after talking to his wife yesterday, I never expected for them to come.  It brought tears to my eyes when I saw them walk in.  And all the praise go to the Lord!  I felt very blessed that God answered my prayers.  Although, I know he has a long road to a full recovery - This was a Christmas Blessing in my life.  I hope you all will have Christmas Blessings in yours!  This is the Card I made for you if you are reading my post.  Merry Christmas Everyone!

Christmas Baskets

This basket was made for Alies Cheer Coach.   She loved it.  I used all my homemade goodies from the Holiday show and then added a few more from the parents.  The kids loved it and so did we.  Then I made one to give to  Craigs boss and this is what she wrote to me: 

 I tried calling you this am to thank you for the best gift basket I have ever received!

It is AWESOME!  I had a ton of fun opening it last night.  Please let Cheryl know how much I like it- she is so talented and does beautiful work.  It was too pretty to open- BUT, I did and enjoyed every bit- the Snowman Soup was a hit with Matthew as was the Snowman Tealight. 

Beautiful touches on every bit.  Thank you, again!  I will also enjoy my new Dawg Sportula.

Merry Christmas!
Leslie

How nice was that.   So not only can you make individual gifts but you can put them together and make one big unique gift.  Try it  someone will love receiving such a touch friendly gift for everyone in the family.

Merry Christmas Mice

Merry Christmas from the Mice.  I found these round York peppermint candy at Walmart. When I got them home I couldn't decide what  I was going to do with them.  So I went to bed and the next morning I knew they would make great little mice.  But not just any mice--They were going to be Christmas mice.  So I made Santa hats.  Some of the hats stand up and others I made to flop down.  And honestly the are just adorable.  I took them to Mrs. Turners restaurant and she wants more already. Now I went back to get more and I found round (flat bottoms) chocolate covered cherries.  Another idea.   I am sure they are going to be adorable too.  Well,  maybe another post later.  I need to get going making more thing for the restaurant.

My Stampin' Up Gift Exchange

Remember the gift exchange I was going to.  This is my gift I received.  Isn't it just the cutest thing.  I love it.  The picture just doesn't do it justice.  But I wanted to show you anyways.  We had such a fun time today at our Stampin' Up Christmas party.  We got to do alot of talking-(which I'm sure you know that doesn't usually happen-hahahaha)  So much good food-a taco chili bake, salad, the best scones, a yummy egg thing, chicken,  and much more.  Oh, and a birthday cake for one of the ladies who is having her birthday today.  Chocolate cake -well what more could we ask for.  The gift exchange was so much fun.  Well, you saw my exchange. Remember the Santa plate-the one I posted a picture of and didn't think anyone would see it.  WELL,  I was wrong.  Luckily, she didn't make my plate. (Wouldn't that have been something if she would have made it) I will never do that again.  Next year I will wait til the party is over before I post it.  Anyways,  Thanks for the fun day Terry.  I had a great time!  And I hope you enjoy seeing this gift.

Santa Plate decoration

Well,  I started off today cleaning my craft room.  Instead I started making this cute Santa Charger plate.  I am going to a Stampin' Up party this weekend and I needed a gift for a gift exchange.  I already made one but I have now decided I may take this one instead.  It turned out really cute.  Let me know if you like it or if you would like directions on what I did to make this.  I would be happy to share.
