Crafting Weekend ( TIME TO MAKE THE GIFTS )

Well it is almost that time, and this time of year I really getting into my crafting. Time to make the GIFTS. It is a couple of days before Thanksgiving, my husband is putting the finishing touches on the outside house decorations, and I am trying to figure out what to make to give to the kids that come to see Santa. Yes Santa comes to our house and sits outside 1 night a week in December for the kids. When they get out of their car they can come and set on Santa's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas while enjoying the Christmas light show with the decorations that are outside. This is the best time of the year for me and my husband. He starts Decorating the day after Halloween!!!!!!!I will post some pictures and maybe some videos when people visit. But anyway I have to think of something to do for the kiddies. I do have a couple of pictures I would love to share before getting on that project. I have finished my M&M Christmas ornaments and they turned out awesome, along with my Frosted Winter glass block light, which is great as well. These items I made for myself but if you would like to purchase I will take orders. Thanks so much and Happy Crafting.

"Hebrews" Coffee Card ( Skipping Stones Design ) Oct 16th Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to Skipping Stones Design's October blog hop. For my card I have decided to use the Coffee stamp #2 . I colored the coffee cup with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers . This is a Digi stamp so after printing I did wait 24hr before coloring with the Alcohol markers to make sure the ink is completely dry, so I do not have any mixing of the printer ink with the alcohol marker colors. I had a great time creating this card. Please scroll down for pictures, supplies ( link's ), a how toooooo, and a tutorial at the end.

Working with the Gemini Apple Core Dies

Tips for sewing Apple Core Shapes..... This will go on Sale on HSN January 24th., they will go fast make sure you get yours. 1st you will have one that will go sideways which is the Con-Caved Core and you will have one the will be long ways. You always want the con-caved Apple Core on top when sewing together. So my Con-caved apple core is the red strips, fold in half and press a seam. The yellow one fold in half long ways and press. Put right sides together and place the pressed seam on top one an other and pin. This is very important to sew straight. Now match up and pin both outside corners. The fabric will be buckled like the picture and that is fine. It should look like this when taking to the sewing machine. Below is a little video on sewing Apple Core Shapes.
