Snowmen and Sugar Queens

Hello blogland!  Ten days till Christmas and I think I'm finally catching up!  I'm done making Snowman Soup, Reindeer Poop and the adorable Snowman candy bars, and happy to say my daughter and I raised more than $800 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society via Team in Training.  Now my daughter will be going to do a half marathon in Disney World next month as the final part of this great fundraiser.  So proud of her......

I do have something to share - I made a banner for my oldest daughter who is doing a craft fair this weekend.

I used my Cricut Imagine to cut out the letters and a Sizzix top note die for the backgrounds, added some glitter and the Sugar Queens banner was ready.  And speaking of Sugar Queens, need a sugar fix?  Do you like cake pops?  Looking for a special holiday treat like hot chocolate on a stick? Go check out her Etsy store HERE.  Fantastically delicious :)



Paper Piecing a Poinsettia

Hello blogland!  I've finally found a free moment to play with a few of my new stamps from StampersBest and wanted to try something different with the pointsettia.  It's such a nice size, so I gave paper piecing a try and here's what I came up with:

I used a piece of dotted red paper from a DCWV Christmas stack and used a Martha Stewart gold glitter pen to highlight the gold dots.  Then I just used some green and white scraps for the rest of the flower and leaves and tied some red/white ribbon on the bottom and used a new sentiment stamp to finish it up.  You can see all the new StampersBest stamps HERE.
