Hi Everyone! And Merry Christmas! Today is my day over at SVG Cutting Files!!

I also added black burlap behind some of the paper.

Christmas Treats!

Hi Everyone! Merry Christmas Eve! I wanted to share some treats I made for my co-workers!

These first ones I made are pinwheel wands! I got the awesome idea from my Partner in Crime, Michelle. You can see her's here..

Anyways, here are mine! I filled the wands with skittles. 

I used Echo Park paper "Dots & Stripes" 

And for the centers I used Jaded Blossom's "Christmas Candies". 

And then of course I couldnt leave out my hubby's coworkers! So they got these test tube treats! They are filled with Mini M&M's. 

And once again I used Echo Park Dots & Stripes and the same stamp from Jaded Blossom's "Christmas Candies". Then I tied it all up with tulle and twine! 

Thanks for looking! Have a very Merry Christmas!

Welcome Winter Blog Hop!

Hey Everyone! And welcome to the Welcome Winter Blog Hop! 

If you came from Miram's blog then your in the right place. If not and you would like to start at the beginning, please click here to go to Ashley's Blog. 

Here is my project! I created a treat topper!! 

I used Jaded Blossom's "Fancy Topper Die" to make the topper. I also used Jaded Blossom's "Winter Wishes" for "Brrr"

I used burlap and hemp ribbon on the topper. The snowflake was punched out of kraft paper. I then added glossy accents to the top of it and when it was still wet added recollections glitter over it. I prefer this over stickles because it makes it soo much more glittery!! Then added a gem in the middle. 

Here is a close up... 

And of course I added the bag to the top of an Itty Bitty bag. I put a mini pack of M&M's inside. I got the bags from my friend Abby. You can get them HERE

Thanks so much for hopping with us today! Next up is my good friend Crystal!!

Trendy Twine Guest Designer!

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday! I am excited for today because I am a guest designer for Trendy Twine! Yay! Best twine ever!! 

For my project I made a Christmas card! 

Now I know it might look a little plain but what makes this card special is that I've pop dotted the negative piece of the ornaments and put the super glittery paper underneath. 

I then did some stitching and added my twine to look like it was holding up the ornaments. I used Trendy Twine's "Holiday Holly Berry". I then glued a twine bow on top of the other twine. 

I also added a bell right under the bow! Here is a side view so you can see it pop dotted. 

I also used Jaded Blossom's "Christmas Wishes" for the sentiment at the bottom. 

I wanted to say thanks to Leslie and the entire Trendy Twine design team for having me as their guest designer today! PLEASE go over to their blog and let them know I sent you :)
