Christmas Placemats

I'm getting a jump on my Christmas sewing. I saw this placemat idea and pattern on You Can Make This web site (another place where my $$ seem to go). I chopped off the snowman's head because I haven't put his eyes in yet. I don't know how I want to do it so I'm sleeping on it. I used beads on the gingerbread man and wasn't crazy about it. Thanks to my quilting tutor, Denise, for helping me with the applique and quilting process.

A Standing Card for My Buddy

My buddy, Jackie age 5, and I have a private swap going. I made her this one so she could stand it up on her side of the stamping table that she and Grandma share. This is one of Kim Hughes, http://www.paperhugs/, collection for Cornish Heritage Farms. Kim has moved to Arizona across town from me! I hope I get to meet her sometime. I'm a regular customer of hers. This is a tag from the Cricut Celebrations cartridge. I'm just finding out it's in there.

Little Girl's Top

I made this little top for my gr. niece, Elisa. It may be a little big for now but maybe next summer it will fit her.

Wednesday Stamping Day With Friends

I brought this fancy pencil to the group for everyone to make. This pattern was in CARDS book. They had several patterns complete with templates. I have used them all.

Vickie, www.havingfuntrying brought this card and StampinUp set, Good Cheer. It was perfect for this card. I haven't put the Stickles on it yet but you see how great it will be when it's completely finished.

Lois, aka http://www.gingerbreadaholic.blogspot.com/, made this card from a Dustin Pike digital image. It's a tri-fold card with ribbons on the inside. You can't see it well but we popped up the scarf and birdhouse.

Laura, www.sunshinestamper is with us stamping again but just until she finds another job. We will enjoy having her while we can. The papers were beautiful, the card turned out great. She and Lois both come up with different styles and tricky to arrange but they teach us well.
