And even more craft fair projects.

I'm just about down to the wire now. It's Thursday and the craft show is on Saturday. In no way did I get to make all of the items that I was hoping to make. When I look at my pile of stuff it seems really inadequate. I shall just have to wait and see.

At this point I'm having to force myself to stop making new items so that I can put the finishing touches on the incomplete items that I already have.

So here are a couple of things I've made.
First, Snowman wrapped microwave popcorn. The free image is from Laurie Furnell . I've seen these mostly with the felt hats but I didn't have that much time.


Next I made a little something for the dogs. These are Purina Beggin' Strips, 3 per bag with Christmassy dog toppers. The images are from Trina Clark and Pollycraft Stamps.



And lastly, here are some Godiva chocolates in cute little treat holders. The holders were made on the Cricut using Make the Cut software. It's basically a long rectangle merged with the Christmas tree shape.

Caroling Snowmen

Today I have some rather simple cards as I'm trying to up my quantity a bit. I have made these A2 size as they are being added to my stack of cards to send to Operation Write Home. As soon as I reach my personal goal of 20 cards I'll be able to send my package to them.

This card features Caroling Snowmen by The Stamping Boutique. Tracey has a lot of fun images besides her Audrey line(my fav) and this is one of them. I love it when snow people have some clothes on because it gives us a little bit more to color than just having snow. I've used one of my new Sizzix Holiday embossing folders (actually did it backwards), these are designed by Basic Grey. There are quite a few nice ones, but I limited myself to four. The papers Bazzill Swiss Dots and DCWV Metallic Silver. MS Lattice arch lattice punch, Recollections snowflake brads, Michael's ribbon, Sentiment is Studio G. Colored with Promarkers.

Die Cut Dreams #29 Snowmen

CSAYL59

I have a card made with a Stampin' Up! stamp that I had been coveting for a year. I finally found one on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. The snowman and the sentiment are from the Stitched Snowman set from 1995. I've colored him with Promarkers, embossed the sentiment and embellished with buttons, mini bells stickles.
This card follows the sketch at Christmas Stamping All Year Long and is also entered into the challenge for the week.

Sassy Cheryl #20 Christmas in July

Today I have a cute snowman by Sassy Cheryl serving up some probably much needed refreshment during the Christmas season.

He was colored with Promarkers and backed by papers from the DCWV 2008 Christmas stack.
This card will be entered into challenge #20 at Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog.


Thanks for looking!
