More Holiday Bazaar Goodies

WOW!! I don't even know what to say about all the comments and well wishes and compliments and time you took to share your thought on my blog in reaching One Million hits! It was a bit overwhelming, I actually had no idea that many people were paying attention!
Thank you so much!
Two people were randomly drawn for a chance to win a FREE pass to UStamp Year-End Blowout 2009. I've-mailed them and when they accept, I'll announce the winners. So much fun!!
Now on to some stamping stuff!
I saw these on Splitcoast Stampers and knew this awesome idea would be perfect for the Holiday Bazaar this Saturday.
Some of you have asked where it is. It's at Nicholas' school, Discovery Elementary, 21oo Leighfield Drive, Meridian ID. Off of Locust Grove between McMillian and Ustick. The bazaar is from 9-3 Saturday, November, 21st. Come on over!!!

I used these Pretzel bags to stuff with peppermint patties, you know, the ones I swore off of last year!!! I couldn't resist!
Holiday Lineup elves on some. Others have the snowflake punch with Merry Christmas from Delightful Decorations.





Christmas Punch Holly Jolly words and the Santa from the postage stamp shaped stamp...that's confusing!
If you are in the Boise Idaho area, come see me Saturday and introduce yourself!

I said I was done..... I told Dawn I would do UStamp Fall session as a Guest Designer then I was done. Somehow I got roped into the Holiday session and got bumped up to a Creative Crew Girl, then I was sure I was done. Seriously 2 sessions is plenty, I was full, happy and DONE! Then something happened...and here I am again announcing that I will be on the Creative Crew for the Year End Blowout Session 2009 of UStamp with Dawn and Friends.

Please join me for the Year End Blowout session of UStamp with Dawn & friends December 1-31!

Year End Blowout 2009 will give all of us an opportunity to do something REALLY FUN for ourselves by escaping the Holiday Stesses, even if only or a few minutes a day, to check out a project or peak into the chat room to say hello to some friends across the ocean. Don't we all deserve a few minutes of fun to help us re-charge and enjoy what we love??!! Of course we do!!

One of the many great things about UStamp is that YOU create when YOU are ready. LOVE the projects, but don't have time to make them yourself during the crazy holidays?? No worries!! The website will remain open for many months, ready when you are to create so you won't miss out.

Fun project themes of "Parties, Celebrations and Gift Giving" will totally hook you up for all your upcoming celebration needs right out of the gate for 2010!! Once all the hoopla of the holidays dies down, you will be thrilled that you can fill your January making creative projects from the Year End Blow Out event.

We will be celebrating from December 1st until December 31st posting projects everyday AND giving away prizes everyday too!!
Would you like to join in on the fun for FREE?? All you have to do is leave me a comment and 2 random winners will be drawn Tuesday, November 17th at 7 pm! It could be YOU!!!





ETA: Please feel free to leave a comment but a winner has been chosen and will be announced soon. Thank you!

Holiday Lineup

Are you ready for more Holiday Lineup cards? Holiday Lineup and Jolliest Time of the Year are my favorite Christmas stamp sets...oh wait, I love Delightful Decorations too, maybe you've noticed. :)

It all started with this card here. I love the Merry Moments DSP (some pages better than others but hey, you can't love em' all!), especially the candy cane striped piece, so this really caught my eye.
I changed it up a little and this is what I came up with.


Then I thought it would make a great pocket card, so I made a few of those too. I'm working on several more.. because you may as well color a bunch of elves at the same time instead of just one! I love these little guys and the reindeer in the Holiday Lineup set too!!!







Holiday Bazaar Thank You's

Cool picture, huh?? Looks like wall paper!
These are little hand-outs to thank the people who stop by my booth at the Holiday Bazaar.
I stapled the Oval Scalloped Punch to the candy cane then adhesive the Just For You to the front.

I was doing a little blog surfing and came upon these little gems. These were made by the Squareheaded Stamper herself, Brandi Wiggins-Côté! I had the good fortune of meeting Brandi at convention and she is a bundle of energy and so fun!

Look how darling this Milk Carton Container is!!


AND... I love her version of the Mini Pocket Book! Isn't this cute??


Brandi, you're stampin' is awesome girl!!!

I also want to let you know that my friend Connie of Constantly Stamping has another video on her blog about MDS. This one is about using your own clip art that you already have on your own computer. It's fab!!! She is awesome about starting from the beginning and really teaching you what you need to know to use MDS. Check it out!
