{ The Cutting Cafe' Holiday Planner and a giveaway **closed**}

Time to get organized. Christmas will be here in 45 days!

This is a new Holiday Planner printable stamp set. The set features 3 assorted sheets for planning your: Gift lists, Christmas Card list and Misc. Christmas notes..The 3 sheets are approx. a little bigger then 7 by 3 inches....The sheets come 2 on a page...The set also comes with 18 other assorted images.

I added a printable stamp from the Christmas Circles Set 2 that I punched out with my Marvy Uchida scalloped punch. The tree printable stamp is from All About Christmas set. The base for this planner is a manila folder. I have been saving directions from Taylor VanBruggen, and then the other day I found this video tutorial. This Holiday planner set was perfect for the project. The notes fit perfectly in the pockets. I even used my favorite Avery label. The Cutting Cafe' sets are so easy to print, cut and put together. I used Making Memories Mistletoe patterned paper and SEI ribbon. This was so much fun. I want to do a different project with this accordion file folder.

Let me know if you have any questions.

***Regina is hosting a giveaway and this Holiday Planner printable stamp set can be yours. Leave me a comment and I will draw one name on Sunday morning, November 15.

***ETA: In addition to Holiday Planner stamp set, I will be giving away All About Christmas set and Christmas Circle Set 2 (to one lucky winner).

I have something fun planned, coming soon.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge -make a wreath }

The challenge was to make a wreath. I stamped the leaves from Fall Wreath (CL238) stamp set on patterned paper. After I cut them out I folded and shaped them a little, so they look like leaves. I added some glitter to the leaves to make them sparkle. My background stamp is Cover-a-card Large Dot stamp (CC007). I used sketch #38 from 2 Sketches 4 You. The sentiment is from Circle Greeting (CL99) stamp set. I used Lily Bee Audrey collection papers from My Scrapbook Nook November and kit. I really like this Martha Stewart glitter that I bought recently. It's really fine and it sparkles.

I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designers' blogs for inspiration! Laura, Dina, Jeanne, Jenny, Kathy, Julie, Deborah and Shirley.

{ Mojo Monday 111, Project 365 - week 42 }

Here is my card for Mojo Monday 111 sketch. I made this late last night and I will try to get a better photo now. I used Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon paper scraps. I made the flower from old book paper and sprayed it with Bed Of Roses Shimmerz Spritz.

I painted the chipboard circle with paint and then sprayed with Sea Foam Shimmerz Spritz.
