stocking stuffer

Happy pre Christmas Eve,
I have been hunting for stocking stuffers for my family.  For the past 2 weeks I have been looking for the packs of Snickers Nutcracker.  I  could not find them.  I buy these for our stockings every year  but this year we will not be having them. I ended up buying Reese's to fill in the stockings along with a couple of other things.
 I  bought toothbrushes, mouthwash, toothpast, and dental floss for my kids, I thought it would be something different. I put them in bags and used my expression to cut out a tag.  They can use this stuff after they get done eating their candy.  I thought it be something different.


 
Supplies:
Accent Essential Cricut Cartridge
Cardstock
Foam Stickers for Gingerbread and Christmas Trees
Merry Christmas -TPC Stamp

Guest Designer Imagination Monday Part 1

Good Morning,
I am so excited, I was asked by Emma to be a guest designer for Imagination Monday this is my first time doing this.  I felt so honored for her to ask me. To be quite honest I was so scared I had hot flashes for a few minutes.  I thought I could not do this and got over the hot flashes. I considered this a challenge. Luckily the weekend I did this project I was snowed in and I was able to get it done. 
The video is in two  parts, I hope you like it. I was a little nervous.

Well I thought I would share another Christmas Card that can hold money or a gift card I made. I like how it turned out.  I cant believe my bow came out so well, I normally have to fight with them.  I will have to try and remember how to make sure when I use my punch that it is not cut off like it did on the left hand side.

Peachy Keen challenge #40


This is the sketch we had to use for the Peachy Keen challenge, I did a layout for this challenge, and I just realized I did not use a peachy keen stamp, sorry.  Its simple I feel like its missing something.
My mother in law asked me to make scrapbook of his 70th birthday party she asked me to make a scrapbbook album for Christmas.  This is a man who has everything she said he would really enjoy it this way he could go back and remeber his birthday. So I used this sketch below to put in his album.

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge

Good Evening,
I have not done a about a month or two, I thought I had a little time and join in on the Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge.  I didn't think it would take me so long to get my pumpin to weld but I was having problems getting the pumpkin to weld. I could see my idea but it did not come out the way I wanted it. That idea went out the window,  it's getting late and I to hurry so I could get to bed.  I wish I did not have to go to work tomorrow, I could stay up and make another attempt. Oh well,  below is my card that I made,  I used the Create a Critter cartridge for the pumpkin and leaves. 
Thanks for stopping by.
