Scrapbook Carnival Weekend

It was great to see many of you at our booth at the Edmonton Scrapbook Carnival this weekend. We had beautiful displays of the new kits and bundles currently being offered.
carnival-display-4Good things certainly do come to those who create!
carnival-display-1Love my doorpost sign…
carnival-display-2We were very thankful to have the new Mrs. Marks helping us on Saturday.
carnival-display-3People could crop, shop, and sit down to do a make ‘n take…
carnival-mt-2This is the card they could make Saturday morning. Isn’t it stinkin’ adorable?!
carnival-mt-1I LOVE the moose! He is actually the main reason I bought the Jolly Friends Bundle. The merry greeting is a thinlit from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits, and “christmoose” was made using the Labeler Alphabet. Super easy to create your own words on your projects.

If you NEED this bundle like I did, shop HERE. While you’re checking out the online store, be sure to click to see what’s new in the Clearance Rack. New items up to 60% off have been added!!

Happy Tuesday,

Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack

I cannot believe a week has gone by since I promised to show you the other 3 cards they made at the Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack. That’s what happens when you get sick I guess. I think that the older I get, the more my body reacts to a busy schedule. Hmmm…LIFE is full of busy, isn’t it?

Anyhow…here are the other 3 Christmas cards the ladies made.
This first one says it all, doesn’t it? I’ve actually been listening to a song from one of my favorite music groups (Mercy Me) called “Christmastime Again.”

snow-place
The first verse goes like this:
“Has anyone ever noticed
See the older you get

Time just keeps rolling
Moving so fast it makes your whole head spin, yeah
Well I need some explaining
Where did this year go
Just put away the decorations
And here we go again we’re singing Nat King Cole
I can’t believe it’s Christmastime again.”

This second one was actually a made by Shelli and Sara (received at Founders Circle in September). I fell in love with it. Love the tag on the front…love the Softly Falling Embossing Folder on the background…and love the word peace. We all need more peace in our lives.cozy-christmasFinally, they made this one…equally as beautiful.
nativityThe trees in the Wonderland set, create the beautiful backdrop for this nativity scene. The starburst is from a set in the main catalogue called Kinda Eclectic. The tag on the front is the same shape as the previous card…made with the Ornate Tag Punch.  And you can never have too much of this gold cording!!

So now I need to get back to doing my Christmas cards. I’ve decided to use the ones I have received from previous swaps, so they will all be different. My daughter said they were too beautiful to use!  I said they are too beautiful to be sitting in boxes!  So we will share the love this Christmas.

I hope your Christmas preparations are coming along nicely and that you are scheduling in some “down time”…rest and relaxation…and spending time with the people that matter most.

Thank you for stopping by,

Winter Wishes

Stampin’ Up! has a stamp set called Winter Wishes that would be classified as a more vintage set.  I’ve fallen in love with it. The images of a sled, skates and snowshoes take me back to the “good ol’ days”.
Winter WishesWinter Wishes (clear-mount) #139745   $22.00
Winter Wishes (wood-mount) #139742  $31.00

This is one of the cards that the ladies are making this weekend at The Stampin’ Room’s annual Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack.
Winter-Wishes-1This is my take on a similar one my friend and super talented Diana Gibbs made in Crumb Cake. She is the queen of coloring, and I would have loved to have had a red sled but when we are cranking out 5 of these in a half an hour, time doesn’t allow for coloring.

It’s been a very busy couple of days…
Winter-Wishes-2I will post pictures of the other 3 card designs in the next few days. We had the first session last night. Another one tonight…and then one more tomorrow afternoon. And then I will sleep very well:)
