Endless Wishes in Week 1 of My Annual of {12 Weeks of Christmas} Series!

Welcome to the first installment of my yearly {12 Weeks of Christmas} Series! I love putting this series together each year, including posts about planning, cards, gifts, and fun holiday decor.  Each week, I'll give you a new idea to inspire or streamline your Christmas planning.  It's a super-fun time of year and I'm excited to give you our first taste!

This card was made with a great versatile sketch from the good folks at Mojo Monday. 

I used the Endless Wishes set from the Holiday Catalog.  Need a hard copy of the catalog?  Drop me an email.  Want to check it out online?  Click {HERE} to view it now.

This cute photopolymer set includes snowflake images with a ton of great Christmas-, winter- and holiday-themed sentiments.  *LOVE IT!*

The Designer Series Paper I used here comes in the fun Stack called Moonlight.  

I added a little extra pizzazz with Rhinestone Basic Jewels, the Decorative Dots TIEF, and Lost Lagoon Satin Stitched Ribbon.

New Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog, Weekly Deals and an Update

Hello!  I'm glad to be back in my Studio, albeit just blogging, not creating.  The upside to spending a couple of weeks visiting my out-of-state family? Priceless memories and fun.  The downside?  THE LAUNDRY.  We are also in the throes of soccer times three and prepping for the first day of school times three.  A lot to do housekeeping-wise, so it simply means that my fingers remain sadly ink-free (and will for a few more days).  We have more family visiting this weekend from out-of-state! Woot!

In the meantime, I'm going to give you a link for the new 2014 Holiday Catalog (it's delicious).  I'm also providing an abbreviated link to the Weekly Deals...

{HERE} is the link to the Weekly Deals, available through Monday, September (!) 1st, 2014.

Ta Daaaaa!

A View from My Current Studio and new Weekly Deals from Stampin' Up!

Every summer, my husband and I take our children on a Great American Wild West Roadtrip.  My family lives in Colorado and Wyoming, so we normally include a visit to a new-to-us national park with our visits with them.  In years past, we've enjoyed Dinosaur, Mesa Verde National Park, Yellowstone and this year we spent some time with my husband's parents, fly fishing on the Blackfoot River in Montana.  

As we enjoy our time in Rocky Mountain National Park (where my mom lives), this is my current "studio."  Love it?!  While I'm not able to stamp right now, you'd better believe I've picked up one of this week's Deals (guess which below).  I'm able to take questions, though, and I'm currently filling my fall schedule with classes and private workshops.  Drop me an email -- the reception is spotty, depending on where I am, but I will get back to you ASAP when I'm in coverage.
