Do you ever feel like you constantly operate in crisis mode because you can't keep up. Time does not seem to slow down for anyone. EXCEPT on Friday afternoon from 2-3 pm when you are stuck at work and anxious for the weekend. My Thanksgiving weekend was fabulous and now I am playing catch up with the addition of my yearly seasonal cold shared with my by none other than my sweet hubby. Once again I find myself racing to finish my blogpost.
Stampin Up has so many great holdiay stamps, papers and embellishments it was hard to choose.
I have seen this ornament all over the internet and had to give it a try. I am going to use these as embellishments on my gift bags for Christmas. The receiver can turn around and use it as a tree ornament. Here is the link I used for the instructions Carrie Rhoades Woven Star
Another stamp set I had to play with was a new one from the occasions catalog called Smitten Mittens. Yes I was smitten
The sentiment and the holly came from the Hang your Stocking set.
The star looks great with the gold! and the card is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThose mittens with the plaid are super cute! I've never seen those woven ornaments before. It's so pretty. I have that paper and haven't used it yet. Now I know what I'm going to do!
ReplyDeleteYep, I've been in crisis mode myself for a month now, with health issues. It's a crummy time of year to be slowed down :-/ But I LOVE your projects, I almost wish I'd bought the mitten set now. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh Cheryl, love both your projects! and yes- this is full blown crisis mode, illness mode, stress mode... thanks for bringing a chuckle, and some joy with your beautiful card and gift bag with handmade bow- I've never tried one of those, looks amazing! Have a joyous weekend! Feel better!
