Free Photos

With many of you getting ready for my Super Stampin' Weekend, I know you are going to need to print out some pictures.

I wanted to share a good deal for getting some free prints. Today is the last day to use the PRINTSNEW code to get 100 free prints at www.snapfish.com. You have to make a purchase, but that could be one 9 cent photo. You will pay for shipping. I got 141 prints for $8.40. You can see my order below. I was a new customer, so I got 50 free, then used the 100 free code. I saw an ad that said you got a $10 credit as a new customer, but I didn't get that when I signed up Kent. He only got 20 free prints. Just see what happens.

The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

I just ordered this set, so I plan on making some samples to show you once it arrives next week.

Snowman Box

This is the January project I made for Kyle's teacher. I have been sending her little gifts throughout the year with 3x3 note cards.

The box is made using the Fancy Favor XL die for the Big Shot. Isn't he adorable? The XL dies can be a bit pricey, but if you are looking for just one to invest in, I absolutely recommend the Fancy Favor die. I love it!

The little earmuffs were made using the Scallop Circle punch and some 5/8" Basic Black ribbon. I used the Paper Crimper to give the muffs some texture. I guess I could have used any of my texture plates for the Big Shot, too.
I kept the cards very simple and didn't even add a greeting this time. The snowflakes are from the Snow Swirled stamp set and were stamped in Not Quite Navy, Ballet Blue, and Bordering Blue.

Snowman Box Directions:

1. Cut one box from Confetti White cardstock using the Fancy Favor Die and Big Shot.
2. Use Sticky Strip to put box together.
3. Punch 5 black 3/4" circles. Cut the bottoms off 2 of them to make the eyes.
4. Add eye details using White Gel Pen.
5. Cut a 1 x 1 3/4" piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock. Cut it at a diagonal to make two noses.
   
6. Crimp nose with Paper Crimper.
7. Adhere face pieces.
   
8. Punch 2 scallop circles in color of your choice (I used Summer Sun). Crimp both pieces.
9. Cut an 8" piece of black ribbon and adhere to sides of box.
10. Place scallop circles on top of ribbon.

Club Christmas Gifts #4

Oops. I forgot to show the picture of the gift I won! Michelle made this adorable cocoa set from a photo storage box. Too cute!

Club Christmas Gifts #3

Final round:

Pam made this adorable tray. I just love how she paper pieced the snowmen. So cute! She also added a ceramic snowman candy dish and a big bag of M&M's (peanut, of course)!


Diane made this gorgeous stamped frame. I'm not sure if you can see the gold sparkle on the paper, but she used the shimmer paint mixed with alcohol for that effect. Love it!

I was so excited about the gifts the ladies made this year! They all did a really nice job. Unfortunately, not everyone was able to join us, but I bet next year they'll all try to make it!

Club Christmas Gifts #2

Here is round 2:

Claudia made this fantastic trio of frame starring the cute Dasher stamp. She stamped in white craft ink and embossed with Iridescent Ice ep. I just love it! Sorry about the glare---I couldn't seem to get a good picture.


Heather made this pretty candle holder using the white and silver rub-ons found in the Holiday Mini Catalog--which ends January 4! She also made a cute little box from designer paper that I don't have a picture of and added some great smelling Partylite candles.

Club Christmas Gifts #1

Ok, here are a couple gifts from our Club Christmas Party:

The first example is the gift I made. I used the Dasher Decor Element which is a Level 2 Hostess Only gift. I used the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Paper for the backing and some of the retired ribbon. I used my Big Shot to cut out NOEL from the same designer paper. I popped out the rhinestones from some Fire Circle Rhinestone brads and added them to the top of the glass with Mini Glue Dots.

This next gift was made by Jennifer. She bought the metal tub from Target and used the Big Shot and Decor Elements Vinyl Sheets to decorate it.

Don't forget!---From now until Dec. 22, you can purchase the raw Vinyl at a great discount in over 15 colors (as well as some Big Shot Dies). I am told that the vinyl will go through the Cricut as well as the Big Shot.

Jennifer filled her basket for a fantastic movie night! She even made some cute wraps for her microwave popcorn bags and 2 Liter of pop. So cute!
