Dear, sweet friends celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary earlier this month – 30 years is a wonderful achievement and needed something special ~ pink is one of her favorite colors so Pink Pirouette is the main color for the card, highlighted with Rose Red. I used the freezer paper technique to create this one.

Gift Cards and Framelits Dies …~… Stampin’ Up!
We were invited to a couple of weddings over the last few months. It is always so difficult to choose a gift – even with a registry list it can be tough – sometimes the happy couple can be left with the high value gifts on their list, so we decided to give gift cards – these can be added together with others and put toward those high ticket items.
Giving a gift card on its own or in one of those cards from the store is never enough for me – so to make a pretty holder to present the card in is a must ~ I have 2 to share today. Continue reading
Birthday Balloons – Stampin’ Up!
During tax season I had 3 birthdays for the ‘littlies’ in my life ~ a grand-daughter, great nephew and the grandson of a dear friend. Balloons are just such cheerful things, they bob and weave and just perfect to celebrate a birthday.
I have added additional classes to my schedule so you might want to go look at the Calendar Tab 🙂

Show and Tell – Treat Box
I love to teach and to share and I really love when one of my lovely ladies shares one of her creations with me. The one I am sharing in this, my 500th blog post, was from a class I did back in October and I share it with the full agreement of Kim, who created it.

Merry Christmas Sampler Frame
Frame Art, Samplers…. call them what you will – I just love to design and create these little vignettes out of card, ink and embellishments. This is the fifth in a series I have designed and offered as classes to my lovely ladies.
As this is Christmas I thought I would share this one with you…………………….
Advent Calendar – Christmas Eve!
The final day for our calendar, it is hard to believe it is Christmas Eve, I am going to spend the day listening to Christmas music on BBC Radio 2 and getting ready for tomorrow. I sometimes think I enjoy Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day itself – there is more of a sense of magic and anticipation!
Back in October, when my friend, Elly, from the UK and I designed the advent calendar using a 24 cup mini muffin pan, we had a lot of fun deciding which square would go on each day but I knew we would have this square for today!
I hope you have enjoyed the countdown journey – I certainly enjoyed sharing with you ~ leave me a comment I would love to hear from you.
You will want to open each post, as there will be a little treat behind each one! Some days it might be some virtual ‘candy’ or sweeties as we call them in the UK, other times it might be a card, 3D project or a video!

Advent Calendar – Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 23
When Elly, my friend from the UK, and I designed the advent calendar back in early October I wanted day 23 to show the warmth and coziness of creating a new home. December 23rd is a special day in our family as it is our youngest son’s wedding anniversary – yep 2 days before Christmas – it was a magical day full of love and sparkle and Father Christmas (as he is known in the UK) came to hand out the wedding favors!
