14 days 'til CHRISTMAS!!

WOW!! Is just 14 days!! yeahhhhh, I'm going to start the countdown til Christmas 14 days and we can celebrate Jesus came to save us! What a blessing that we can celebrate it!! Do you do something special on Christmas day? Do you take your time to give thanks for all the blessings you receive from Him? Is a great day just to think about how blessed we are to live in a country where you can praise Him, where you can talk about Him! Is amazing what He have done for us!! Let start counting the days 'til Christmas!!

I did this card for a friend! When I'm working at my workshop I always pray for all the people I have met in this stamping/online world. Sometimes I'm just praying for someone and that inspire me to create! This was the case with this card! I hope she likes it when she get it! I love the Merry Wishes paper (so sorry is discontinued) and the Birdy Holiday is a great stamp set too!! many posibilites! Hope you have a great Christmas day!

WOW! Tomorrow is December 10!! Just 15 days 'til Christmas!!I hope you have enjoy the first 9 days of December. I hope I can be able to indulge you with some creative ideas through Christmas day! I have so much fun creating with you on mind!!

Are you done with all the things you had on mind to do before Christmas day? Are you ready for 2009? Well I need to say that I haven't finish yet! and that I'm not ready for 2009!! I know that this new year will bring lots of new stuff to my life so I need to prepare myself for all that!! and I just haven't! but I will! I trust my God that He is the one in control and I know He loves me and wants the best for me and my family! He is our Lord and I trust Him for everything saying that I just have to change what I have said! I'm ready for 2009!!! are you?

Do you have any goals or resolutions? If you have any share with me I will love to know what you have on mind! Mines are easy I need to lose about 10 pounds (yes the same 10 from the last 10 years, lol) I guess I don't want to! I want to be able to submit to magazines! I will LOVE to be publish in any magazine!! that have to be a really amazing experience! I remember when at Seminar Margie gave me the envelope with the ribbons inside she was just there looking at me and when I saw the Designer ribbon! I was sooo excited, I just had to call my daughter to let her know and yes I have tears in my eyes!! she was soooo excited for me! (she is 8) and then I just look at Ginger she had a Designer ribbon too!! We were sooooooooooo happy!! so I can imagine!!

Well no more blah, blah! I made this card with the Vintage Holiday paper from TAC (discontinued) I love that paper!!! sooooooooooo much!! I used the Bazzill green from Mimi collection and Kraft, Red and Brown cardstock! The stamp set is Birdy Holiday also from TAC and I add some trim and a jingle bell just to have a lil more fun!!

Hope you like it!

Fourth Day of DECEMBER! and a how to...

WOW!! Is already 3 weeks to Christmas!! are you ready? Well, if you say yes! Congratulations!! if you say no! you still have time, and we are on the same boat!! I need to finish a couple or to be specific a LOT of things to do! but you know I can be up until the other day in case I need to do it! lol!

Here is a simple gift I did today! Is a pocket card to hold a Chocolate pack inside, is very easy to do and a great gift for co-workers! I used the Reece paper collection with Kraft and brown cardstock, Birdy Holiday and Spirit of Christmas everything from TAC in case you have it and want to CASE it!


How to:

Cut a 5½ x 11 (the remaining 3 x 11 you can use it for little cards or gift tags)
With the Scor Pal (or any other scoring system) score at 4 1/4, 4 3/4 and 9. Then make a pocket inside adding red tape to the flap inside (see pictures) and embelish. I will try to make a template in case you need it!

Hope you enjoy this time of the year!

Love,
Diana
