News from Stampin UP and a Share

Merry Christmas!!! I hope you are all settling in for your celebration with family & friends.  We don't have company this year so it will be quite for us.  I am super excited about the new Occasions Mini & Sale-A-Brations Mini that will go into effect on the 5th of January.  I placed my preorder at the begining of the month and haven't had a chance to play with anything.  But I do now!  I am working on some cards for my Senior Center Class and Spring Projects for the next Lee County Library series.  I usually get stuck thinking of new Ideas for the Library, I like to keep it interesting for the attendees.

Couple of news tidbits for today are the

My last Christmas Card....

I saw a wreath card on a fellow demonstrator's website but don't remember who.  I had to try to make it.  It is done with the Pine Cone from Ornamental Pine Set.  You punch a circle from a post it and them stamp around the circle overlapping the post-it.  I used two colors and my wreath is fuller than the one that I saw.  I punched small circles from scraps of Red Glimmer paper and added a bow.  I did this card on a piece of Whisper White Stamped in Red.  I added a background piece of Real Red to give it a bit of color.  Hope you enjoy.

 Have a Peace filled Christmas and a Bright & Happy New Year.

Until next time......Do one thing today that makes YOU happy!
