Happy holidays - 2018 calendar card


Hope your Christmas was awesome - and happy early new year!  For my Christmas cards I made a calendar card with a couple new Stampin' Up items that will be in the upcoming Occasions catalog:  Bubble Over Bundle (stamp set and framelits) and Bubble Up designer paper. The little calendars are from Vippies.  Here are a few more pictures of this card:

Christmas Eve decorations


Hope you are ready for Christmas, since it is tomorrow!  Fortunately for me, there are a few stores around here that are open 24/7, so I will be heading out to grab a couple more things lol, then come back and wrap gifts....I already sent out some to my sons and mother - here is the cute angel popsicle sticks ornament that I sent to my mom.  Wish I had gotten one for myself, but settled for taking pictures of it...


We also put up our outside lights and decorations - our theme is dogs, of course!  There are 2 white dogs, a red dog, and a Snoopy.





Did you put up outside decorations this year, and/or inside ones?  BTW, there a few new items in the Stampin' Up clearance rack - quantities are limited.

Have a great Christmas Eve and Christmas day!!

Christmas blog hop - a calendar project


The countdown to Christmas has started…Welcome to this month’s blog hop with Di's Country Inkers!  Our blog hop theme this month is Christmas/New Years. 

Since I make mini-calendars to enclose with my Christmas cards to my family, I wanted to share that with you...here is my purse calendar for this year:

 



Here is a picture of what the back of the calendar looks like:
  


These are the Stampin’ Up products I used:
Scallop tag topper punch (the tag is 2-1/8” x 3-1/4” & folded over at 2-1/8” for flap)
Layering ovals framelits (handle)
Quilted Christmas designer paper 6 x 6
Holly berry builder punch (small bow)
Real red cardstock (back 2-1/8” x 2”)
Rhinestone

The small self-sticking calendar is from Vippies – at www.vippies.com you can find the tutorial I basically used for my purse calendar.  Now I just have to make more of these calendars for my cards ASAP - Good thing they are easy!  I'll just make them up while I watch one of the many Christmas shows on television right now LOL.

You can get all of the Stampin’ Up products I used in my online store:  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/
