November 'Extras'

These are some of the 'extras' from the Shoebox Swap.

 This is a cute little box that Jen designed and brought for everyone. Below is what was inside! Thanks, Jen!

 The above card was an 'extra' that Dawn brought for all of us. I love the design and the colors. Now I may have to purchase the All is Calm DSP. I was trying to not buy more DSP to 'hoard'! Thanks, Dawn.

The above card was an 'extra' that Jen brought for all of us. Love, love, love that it is so 'cheerful'. Thanks Jen for designing and bringing this wonderful card.

November Swaps

Sorry it took me so long to get the cards from our monthly swap posted. I have been extremely busy with some fun Holiday crafting! I won't be posting the results of that crafting until after Christmas, so I hope that the wait is worth it.

The following cards were designed by the ladies that come to my monthly Shoebox Swap. This month we did Christmas cards. They were all lovely, even though some of them used retired stamps (I know I have a ton of retired Holiday stamp sets, so maybe you'll be inspired to dust off those older stamps).

November Shoebox Swap

Today I am sharing the gifts I made for my Shoebox Gals. These ladies are here every month (during the good weather) and we do a shoebox swap. It is so much fun for me (and I hope for them) to get together with other 'like minded' ladies!

These little cuties are made with the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit. I found the directions for this on the Create with Connie & Mary website. You can go there and download the instructions, if you'd like. My letters were cut with the Little Letters Framelits and I used different ribbons. The boxes and the carrier are made with the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Paper.  I also made a tag using the Chalk Talk Framelits and the stamp from Merry Little Christmas (from last year). I filled the little boxes with M&Ms (who doesn't need chocolate to stamp?).

I hope that the ladies like them as much as I liked putting them together. They were so much fun to make and I think they make a great presentation!

Thanks for stopping by today. Check back in a day or so to see the beautiful Christmas cards we made at the shoebox swap!  Until the next time...Happy Stamping!

Neighbor Gifts

Today I thought I'd share the  holiday gifts I made for our neighbors (they won't see this).

We went to a local farm and picked apples (40# of them!). So, I made crock pot applesauce and apple butter for our neighbors. I packaged them in craft colored handle bags that I stamped with the Scentsational stamp set (I still use that set a lot, even though it's retired). The labels were printed from MDS and then punched with the Oval Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch. I hope they enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them!

Thanks for  stopping by today. Until the next time...Happy Stamping!
