Foam pop-dots are delicious

How do you run out of red card stock? I mean really? 2 weeks prior to my first Christmas Bazar and I'm out of red card stock. Today while I was making these cards Gracie was watching. At least I thought she was watching...maybe doing quality control, I'm not sure. Then the reason became perfectly clear....foam adhesives must taste like chicken because twice today I had to remove about twenty of them from her face and paws. They must smell as good as chicken because regardless of where I put them she hunted them down.
I think I need a peppermint mocha before work.
Peace, love and foam pop dots.

Traditional Christmas

This is the same recipe as my pink card except made with traditional colors. The poinsettias are also Martha Stewart punches. *love*

Peace, love and paper.

Dreaming of a pink Christmas

I love pink and really love it on Christmas cards. I made this card out of bright pink cardstock with Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas designer paper. The snowflakes are Martha Stewart punches that I glittered. The design is grounded with a piece of chocolate brown rickrack from my ribbon stash.
I'm feeling all Christmas-y now :)

How to make wine MORE fun

Two days ago I received my latest obsession in the mail...vinyl sheets. This stuff is seriously fun. I'm trying to resist to urge to buy more ASAP. Here's a little wine glass I decorated. The bow is detachable and has a hair clip on the back. (two for one gifts?!?). I'm planning to sell them at my upcoming Christmas bazar Dec 3. Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome :)
Peace, love and vinyl.

I glittered my iPhone

It wasn't intentional....I glittered the carpet pretty good too. Thank goodness Gracie was in bed or she might have been glittered too. I love glitter but I'm not patient enough for it. I don't know how those kiddos in kindergarten manage to glitter and then not touch it and end up with a bald spot because that's what happens to me. I tried tinsel glitter last year and did not like too much. This year I've grown and I think it might be another favorite.

I made this card thinking about all the glass ornaments we hung on the Christmas tree when I was a kiddo. They were so fragile they would break if you looked at them the wrong way They had a nice 'blop' of glitter on them too. Looks like I have a history with glitter.
Peace LOVE and paper

A few little gift tags

I love making tags. Actually I love making anything small. Anyway, here's a pic!

A little fever

So I'm too sick to be around the tiny infants we care for so I stayed under the blankets last night. I stayed there until around midnight when I remembered I hadn't checked the mail. My new lover was in my mail box waiting for me. Designer vinyl. OMG. I managed enough strength to try two techniques, punching and cricut. It cuts like butter and is so stinking cute! So today I must gather my strength and find things to put my vinyl on. Suggestions are welcome.

I'm still working on stock for the Christmas Bazar on Dec 3. I adore my new gift tags so I'm making them and the vintage cards I just completed.

All sweet comments are encouraged and welcome. This is a 'baby' blog and I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm doing it :).

Peace, Love and Paper
