I have these SU! punches, and all the coordinating stamp sets, and I think this may be the first time I've ever used them!! They sure do make festive little tags, don't they?
Well, since I haven't posted for over a week, I thought I'd bore you with redundant pictures of my sparkly little box. This is one of those little match boxes you can get, I think they come in packages of three. Really, this is just a pretty, useless little thing, but I had fun making it!
I've been making a lot of little Christmas tags lately. Well, last weekend, anyway. This week I had three hour play rehearsals every night, so I didn't do much of anything but work. Tonight is the last night-closing performance! The kids did really well last night, and I look forward to it all being over!! I don't know how people work eleven hour days with any regularity. One week of it, and I'm half dead!

I made this page for this week's Belli Challenge! Chris Dickinson, another Die Cut Diva, has a fun challenge blog where the challenges are embellishment related. CC&M is the sponsor this week, and the theme is Christmas. I wanted to create another page of my Creative Cuts and More Apron Album. Everything on this page except for the Making Memories stickers, the floss, and the Stickles came with the kit! You can even get Liquid Applique at Creative Cuts and More!! (It does not come with the kit, though.) This kit is only $19.99, and I honestly think it's a terrific deal! I was so thrilled when I got mine and saw all the goodies!
Welcome to Day Two of the Creative Cuts and More Recipe Album Blog Hop!! So, did you enjoy visiting the immensely talented Amber Hillman? I know you did! If you didn't come from Amber's blog, you need to start back at Die Cut Diva to be eligible to win the prize, which is one of these GREAT kits!!

Now doesn't this sweet, smiling face just make you happy? This Snowman from Dog Gone Stamps just stole my heart, I thought he was precious and knew I wanted to add him to my collection!! I paired him up with some Basic Gray Blitzen and chipboard, and a couple of Joanne snowflake brads. Of course it just wouldn't be a Christmas card without GLITTER! I embossed the corners with Ranger Holographic and sprayed them thoroughly with Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist. Plus, I added a little Star Dust Stickles on the snow.
Don't forget to come back tomorrow for CC&M's recipe blog hop! You could win this GORGEOUS Cosmo Cricket Album Kit!! I'm not participating until Tuesday, but I can point you in the direction of all the fun!
I used the very first Gina K Designs Stamp TV kit, Floral Frenzy for this. All I added was the Grungeboard flourish, the gems, the vintage button, and a tiny piece of embroidery floss.
This is the kit I will be using for the huge Creative Cuts and More Holiday Treasures Recipe Blog Hop on Tuesday! Don't forget to stop back by-you could win one of these wonderful, jam-packed kits for yourself!!
I won this beautiful stamp set from Verve Stamps. It's so cool because the orchid can be a butterfly as well, it's very chameleon-like! I tried my hand at Clean and Simple (CAS)here. I was toying with the idea of making gift boxes of cards for Christmas gifts, and I thought I might make better progress if I didn't spend at least an hour on every card like I usually do. Of course, I don't really like my CAS cards, so my efforts didn't last very long. Why bother making cards if it isn't fun?
Isn't this sleigh fun? All I did here was add some Candy Cane Stickles, a two ribbon bow and some jingle bells!! You could make a dozen of these in an hour or less. How nice would a few home baked cookies or some fudge look in here? What's more, how clever will everyone think you are? You could be one of those irritating women who has everything together!!!Tanis: http://papercanvas.wordpress.

Have fun on the hop! Thanks for stopping by!
This Card Portfolio is a breeze to make and can be used over and over! It will hold three or four cards and envelopes, depending on how lumpy your cards are! Maybe even six for you CAS girls!
How do you like this sweet Scalloped Bag? A few shots of Candy Apple Glimmer Mist, some Candy Cane Stickles, a bit of leftover ribbon, a Little Yellow Bicycle snowflake, some Primas and a couple of Making memories glitter brads, that's all! Super fast!
$25 Gift Certificate
How awesome were Holly's cards?! She's fairly new to the CC&M DT, and you can certainly see why Terry invited her to join us! She's one talented gal!! I hope you are enjoying the first day of this three day Holiday Hop extravaganza!! If you didn't come from Holly's blog, you'll want to go back to the Caardvarks Blog to be eligible for all the yummy prizes!!
This card looks time consuming, but it wasn't! Nor did it take many supplies! It's the Border Windows card. All I did was mat a piece of green card stock behind the windows, then I added some Basic Grey letters and lots of Candy Cane Stickles. I did give the white card a few shots of Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist. I'm troubled by white space;) I chose a big, glitzy bow, but for mailing, you could go much smaller and not break the bank!
This is the Circle Window Card with Mat. All you have to do is choose your colors and then most of the work is done for you! I used some vintage postcard downloads for this one, plus lots of Aqua Stickles. The little bells are real, and they do jingle!!
