My Nativity Tags below were Featured on
Little Red Wagon this week!

I have lots of projects to show you today!

A new challenge stated today at 

PDE LINKY PARTY!

This week's theme:

Here is my first project:

A2 Desk Organizer with Drawer - Sil ID# 69483

The bottom is a drawer with an optional divider.

The top can hold stationary, A2 size cards and envelopes.

You can see Lori Whitlock's assembly video tutorial HERE.

Here is my second project:

Tag file from Sil ID# 20382

The Nativity cut files are a set from My Scrap Chick.

I love this file. It's so sweet. That Manger is the best manger cut I've seen

out there in the SVG cut file world.

All of the cuts were adhered to the tags with foam squares for dimension.

I went over the halo with my clear glitter pen for a little sparkle.

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas - Get Your Jingle On stamp set.

Pattern papers from Pink Paislee - Merry & Bright.

Here's a close-up of the sentiment:

 

 

Hope you'll link up with your project at

Hi, everyone. Glad you are here.

I've been wanting to make some sort of pencil, pen, ruler type

box for my desk. I happened upon the perfect cut file in the Sil store!

This project uses only one SVG file,

and everything else was created with metal dies through my Cuttlebug.

Want to see a current picture of our fur babies who just turned one last month?

They like to hang out in my craft room with me.

Ginger has her front legs on my lap and wants to type on my keyboard.

Mary Ann is enjoying her little crochet blanket I made and a nice pillow.

Love my babies!

Thanks for sitting a while and chatting with me.

See you tomorrow.

Happy Holidays Tag

Hi, everyone!

I'm back with another project to show you today.

The image was stamped using a sponge dauber to add

brown and green ink to different areas of the stamp. 

I love the soft look it created when stamped to the tag.

The pinecones were then added to the branches along with 

some red and green sequins.

Images are from the Simon Says Stamp "Holly Berries" stamp set.

Sentiment from Simon Says Stamp "Be Joyful" stamp set.

Craftin Desert Divas "Tag It" SVG file used for tag base.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Smiles! :) Janis

Bigger Santa Mail Box Needed

Remember that little, tiny mailbox I made for

Bonnie to put her Christmas letters to Santa in?

Yeah, that was way too small.

LOL

She writes one thing on a piece of paper

(copied from a catalog or ad)

and that takes up a lot more room.

You guessed it.

A bigger Santa Mail Box is needed.

So I made her a much bigger one.

This one is about 8" tall, 

compared to the last one that was 3" tall.

That should do it.

 OLD (too small) Mailbox

Hey! Did you know that EVERYTHING in the

Silhouette store is 50% off through Dec 8?

I love a good sale like that.

If you like using the Silhouette fonts 

(like I did on this project)

this is the PERFECT time to grab some fonts

since they are normally around $3, and right

now they are 50% off just like everything else in the store.

I didn't do a lot of embellishing. I let the Christmas paper do all the work.

Sil ID# 54153 - Mailbox

Sil ID# 61056 - SW Perfect Susan Font

I took out the blade in the Cameo and replaced it with a Red Sketch Pen.

This drew the tag and fonts. I then filled in the fonts by hand with the pen.

Craftin Desert Divas - Get Your Jingle On - snowflakes on tag

Craftin Desert Divas - Tag It - Tag SVG

Pattern papers from a 6x6 Christmas Stack from Target a couple years ago

Turquoise Mini Clothespin

Clear glitter pen drawn on snowflakes randomly

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I'm up to in my craft room.

Have a fabulous day!

Snowman Treat Box - Guest Designing for Crafting By Designs

Hi, everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous Wednesday.

Are you enjoying December so far?

Getting any snow?
If you are getting snow, please go walk around in it and
enjoy it for me! :)

I am so pleased to be Guest Designing for

Crafting By Designs today!

Check out their challenge and all the Design Team's creations

The theme is

That is perfect for me!

I just got some new snowman dies last week

from My Creative Time, and I've been itching to use them.
Fun, Fun, Fun!

Here's my Snowman Treat Box:

The treat box cut along with the paper mats is from

Sil ID# 68833.

The snowbanks are from another file

Sil ID# 68745. I just adjusted them to fit the front and back of the box.

Snowflake - Martha Stewart punch

Teal sequin

For the greeting, I used 2 stamp sets from Craftin Desert Divas:

Simply Christmas - sentiment

Tag It - tag stamp and SVG cut

I created a shadow for the tag on my own using the Silhouette Offset feature.

Holly Leaves - Martha Stewart punch

Red sequins & Red tiny clothespin

Here's the back of the treat box.

Just as cute, I think!

Snowflake - Martha Stewart punch

Teal sequin

All pattern papers - Carta Bella - So this is Christmas

Lots of foam dots for dimension on snowbanks and snowmen.

Glue dots, liquid glue, and mono adhesive also used.
