I saw this really cute idea from a friend, (thanks Connie). I decided that these little trains would make really cute table settings and place cards at the same time. So I've added the star on top using the star punch and real red ink. I'm really excited at how cute they turned out. As always I'd love to hear your thoughts! I love comments. Thanks for looking.
I know I've seen this idea with the punches in several places, so I don't know who to give credit to. With that being said, I made this super cute dress. I used the square punch, the word window punch, and the oval punch. I used retired green galore, and current melon mambo. The flip flops I thought went perfectly with this dress. I actually bought that punch on clearance at Michael's. Other than the flip flop punch, everything is SU. The brads and flowers came from the pretties kit. I wanted to do something a bit more summer looking. My friends birthday falls one day after Christmas and I didn't want to stick with the Christmas look. This card looks feminine and warm to me. What do you think? As always comments are very appreciated! Thanks for looking!!
p.s. PLEASE read my comment below. I found the blog my idea came from after I posted this. Check her out, she's got amazing ideas!
Here's the poem;
Dashing from the malls
With groceries yet to buy,
Lessons, work and housecleaning,
Life's so crazy! Why?
Bells on our telephone ring,
The machine will take the call,
We have not time for family or friends,
It drives us up the wall.
How are you? How's your life?
We really want to know.
Hope you're ready for Christmas,
Now maybe it will snow.
A day or two ago,
We thought we'd make a treat,
For all our special friends-
A Christmas gift to eat.
Our intentions were top notch,
But our schedules would not budge,
Hence, here's this years edition
Of homemade
Christmas Fudge!
Pretty cute poem ha? I thought it would be great this year with our orange sticks. Let me know what you think. As always, all comments are appreciated. Thanks!
My brother in law is a HUGE Denver Broncos fan. He decided that he wanted to decorate his tree with that theme. It wasnt until he started that he realized there are no orange ornaments to be found. We've looked at all the stores, the sports stores, and there are no orange ornaments or Bronco's ornaments. So I decided that for Christmas this year I would make him some. I've now made them and I'm just not sure that I like them. The first ones I made had glitter in them and my husband said they looked too girlie. So these one's I've posted are the one's I settled on. Now, I'm not sure if it's a stupid thing to give him. I mean is it a girly gift? I was super excited about the idea, but now, I'm wondering if I should just put them away and forget them. This is where you come in, would you let me know what your honest thoughts are? Thanks!!
I found these measurements at Chic'n'Scratch.typepad.com If for some reason you can't find the directions there, the measurements are 6 5/8 X 4 1/4. Then you score @ 2 3/8, 4 7/8. Tie the ribbon around the top and walla! Simple. Thanks so much for looking, and as always, all comments are greatly appreciated.
