A new craft room toy!

Hello everyone.  I hope everyone is all ready for the holiday.  Don't be caught doing the last minute thing on Christmas eve. 

I have to show off a new craft room toy I picked up yesterday.  I have had my eye on this for a long time and know for sure it would not be under the tree.  Santa came early just for me.

 The Recollections brand is a Michael's brand and I know they have a good product.  Plus used my 40% coupon. 

 Very easy to put together. 

It didn't take any amount of time to fill it up and I reduced the little jars and trays on my desk so now I have soooo much more room.   It comes with little plastic trays in each round basket but if you don't want them you can leave them out.  I like them in there to help separate the items.

Hope, in some way, this helps someone make a decision on weather to buy it or not.  

An old wreath with a new face lift.

Today has been a very busy day.  I got more decorations out and finished the house.  I also made a new Christmas wreath for the front door.  The old one was looking so shabby.  I took everything off of it but a Santa head that was still looking ok and started over.

I think I got carrieried away with the extras above Santa, but I love how my bow turned out.

Next on the agenda is finishing the banner.  

Let it Snow...Man

It's only 8 days until Christmas and only 5 days til my darling daughter (the one in Seattle) comes home for Christmas.  Can't wait to see her, I miss her so much!

Had to share another card I made for this season.  I just love this die set I got this year.  It's a Sizzix called Snowmen & Let it Snow.  The snowmen come in two sizes.  The one on the left is just a little smaller.  You can see an example of him on the previous post to this one.  On this card I used the snowman on the right and put the hat on him.  The set also come with a Sizzlit that die cuts out "Let It Snow".   I think I also might make package tags with Mr. Snowman. Wouldn't that look cute?

I think I'll submit my lil snowman card into the Die Cuttin Divas challenge #146 for this week.  They have great challenges, always so much fun.  If you're looking for some fun stop by and check the Divas out. 

My next project I want to make a Ho Ho Ho banner for the living room. 

Here's a sneak peak of what I'll be starting with.

 

Oh Snap

Have to show off one of my best Christmas Cards this season. 

 I just love it.  

I used my Sizzix snowman die and had the photo border from my Smash supplies.  Added some little googlie eyes and Snowy is looking good.

This card took me all of 10 mins so I think I'll enter it in the CAS-ual Fridays challenge #123.  This week the challenge is :  Let it Snow.

All my cards are done now so time to make the envelops and get them mailed off.  

HO HO HO Christmas Card

Thought I'd show off another Christmas Card that I made for the ColourQ challenge #218.  Look at these colors they put together.  It's perfect for a old fashion Christmas Card.

 

Anything with Kraft paper is always so warm and comfy to me.  I already had the idea of what I wanted to make.  I got the Sizzix Tim Holtz die cuts of Mini Mustache  & Pointed Finger.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this. 

What do you think?

I love it!
