Merry Christmas - New and Old and Weely Deals!

I haven't posted in a few days, so I have to apologize for that.  Had a little fall backwards in the driveway on Saturday, which was mostly stupidity on my part and a little bad luck.  I bruised my lower back and can't sit or stand for too long and it's really frustrating.  My sister also visited this weekend, than I missed the ASU game Saturday because I couldn't walk, so "blah, blah, blah...". Anyway, I hate not doing anything so I'm back to it today.  My goal this week is to finish up all my notebook sets for the Li'l Bita Christmas show coming up in November (yes, I need to start EARLY).  I've put in an order for some more new fun goodies from the Holiday Mini catalog AND the annual catalog and I'm really excited about using those in our workshops and classes this month - woohoo!  You can check out my September events by clicking on my "Upcoming Events" link on the right sidebar.

I've got a couple more cards from our swaps to share with you.  The first is from Demonstrator Kathy VanAntwerp who has recently moved to the area and we were so happy she could come and meet everyone.

Kathy used the Chalk Talk Framelits to make her focal point and I love how she trimmed her card corners to mimic the tag.

The adorable Endless Wishes stamp set is the perfect set for this tag.  

Supplies used:
Endless Wishes stamp set
Chalk Talk Framelits, Cherry Cobbler 3/4" Chevron Ribbon, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Stampin' Sponges
Naturals White and Crumb Cake card stock, Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler ink

Endless Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set 136829 Price: $15.95 Find the perfect combination of words to express your holiday wishes. Add a couple of snowflakes and your cards are practically done. Well, not really, but this photopolymer set will give you a good start. Set quantity: 19.

Chalk Talk Framelits Die 129983 Price: $24.95 Cut your stamped images, create layers and frames! 7 dies. Largest image: 2-3/16" x 3-1/2". Coordinates with Chalk Talk, Day of Celebration, Lovely Romance Stamp Sets.

Our second card is from Demonstrator Brenda Fasulo.  Brenda used a combination of our retired sets for her swap:

The card is just loaded with bling!  She used the retired Paper Doily Sizzlits and Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack on the Silver Glimmer Paper, along with a few touches of Dazzling Details.  

The ornament was stamped with the retired Christmas Collectibles set and cut out with the coordinating punch.  It's hard to tell from the photo, but the blue card stock was embossed with the new Lovely Lace Embossing Folder.

Current:  Lovely Lace EF, Word Window Punch, Whisper White & Pacific Point card stock, Real Red and Pacific Point ink, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Dazzling Details
