And I am back! It's been a bit too long since I last posted and I truly apologize! I hope you had an amazing Christmas! We sure did! We had a great time with our families and were so blessed! I have been so busy with wreaths! My etsy shop has had amazing sales all fall and into the Holiday season! I also did an amazing craft sale and did amazing at the end of November! I love being creative and that my wreaths are selling! I have some great ideas for Valentines Day and some other new ideas too! My plan so I can do more sales next fall is to make flowers all year long in preparation!But I am looking forward to being able to paper craft! It's been so long since I've last posted that I do have quite a bit to post. And while Christmas is passed oh well I still feel like sharing it, I will just do it in a large mammoth post!
I wanted to share a card I had published in the November/December 2013 issue of Paper Crafts magazine! I was lucky enough to have a card and treat published in this issue! I love this card and when I made it I really thought it would get picked up, it fit three categories in the magazine, sequins, shaped card, and stamps and die combo!
For the last day of school for Ariel's class I made chocolate covered pretzel sticks. I made half with chocolate and skor bits (like heath crunch) did you know that Skor bits have Almonds as a second ingredient, me either! So I had to make a second batch since no nuts at school! I also made up a bunch to give to teachers. And to hand out to the school office workers. The night before I decided to make tags for them using some Hero Arts stamps and tag die (nothing like the last minute oh well) I loved every minute! Even though I haven't paper crafted much this fall that night showed me how much I still find joy in it!
I also made a few tags for gifts. Okay I made all the tags for gifts but I forgot to take pictures of all of them. Whoops!
When making tags last minute while wrapping gifts (so it matches the paper! not because you procrastinated) using images that you stamped before is a quick way to get it done!
Here's a gift bag I made to hold a white elephant gift!
And I shall leave you with our Holiday card this year! I made it myself using pic monkey! I made the collage with fall photos we had done, had them printed 5 by 7 at Costco and than trimmed the sides so it was a 5 by 5 card. Much cheaper and more personal and it didn't take me long at all!
