A Little Something for Christmas

Greetings friends!

It's another blustery weekend here in Erie, PA! I had some time to create 1/2 dozen of these coaster calendars. They make great gifts when you just need a little something to give someone for Christmas.

I covered a bare coaster in some old Anna Griffin paper I had in my stash. I added Prima & Bazzill flowers with a pink dew drop in the center. The stem with leaves is Maya ribbon. The cream colored fiber is from JoAnn's $1 bin. I also added a couple extra dew drops on the top left-hand corner. You can also add a magnet to the back or I used a clip to hang it up. Only the top page of these little calendars are decorated for Christmas. They are so fun to use. Just peel off the back label and stick to whatever your project may be! Very fun!

I am working on baking this weekend too! I make quite an array of Christmas cookies for the holiday. I have two different kinds made so far. I try to have 6-8 different cookies. I love to bake and gift them for people to enjoy. There is nothing like homemade cookies!

Have a wonderful Sunday and stay warm! Thanks for stopping by!

So Glad We're Friends

It's the weekend, and don't we all just love the weekend? I sure do! The only problem is I try to do way too much and the time just flies. I wish it went that fast when I am at work. Oh well.

I have a couple friends with fall birthdays so I made some fall-like birthday cards today. I just love the look and texture of this line of paper from Daisy Bucket called Sweet Marabella. It's double sided and almost has the texture of wallpaper, but thinner. It's very cool. I decided to pair it up with Stampin' Up! cardstock in Kraft for my card base, Whisper White, and Garden Green. The antique looking brads are by Making Memories, chipboard flower by Maya Road, and orange flower by Bazzill. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! called Best Yet. It is a hostess stamp set that you get free with $150.00 purchase or more. It is a wonderful set with 6 sentiments including a Christmas one. I've only owned it for a few months now and can't begin to tell you how much I use it!

I have a really simple but elegant Christmas card to show you in my next posting using one of the Sizzix dies in the SU! Holiday Mini. Stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!
