Jingle all the Way - RUB ONS - Part 1

Hi! I know that's it's just thanksgiving but I can't help getting ahead to the Christmas Spirit. I made this frame as a gift to a friend of mine who hosted a stamp camp party. It just fits her whole ensemble on the corner of her lovely living room. She even put a stand on it. Here is closer look at the bottom where I filled the frame with small and medium bells. Frame size is 10" x 12".

Like Patty's frame I used the medium Park Avenue Balls and the medium "Jingle Bells" Rub-On. I also used the Riding Hood Red/Very Vanilla Ribbon.
DSP: Chocolate Chip DSP and the Bella Rose DSP
Other Note: I had to use a gold backing punched with the Large Scallop Die to emphasize the "Jingle Bells all the Way" title. I also used 10" x 20" frame and a vine of bells which may be purchase in a craft store.
Please let me know if you have any questions or order in my Stampin UP website.
RUB-ONS are now on sale for 20% off with purchases of $20 or more. So hurry and get yours before November 30th!

Thanksgiving Favors

Hi! It's me again! Here is part 2 of the Thanksgiving Table accessories. To give the guest a little something to take home, I made these cute favors. Yes, the pillow boxes. You may find them in any office supply store. They're called "Clear Binding Cover" for presentation books or meeting materials. They come in 25 sheets (very reasonably priced), they're safer too. One sheet will make 4 pillow boxes. The best thing about the plastic is that it's easy to handle and holds its folds. It's not flimsy. I just adhered it with sticky tape to hold it strong.
DSP: Hawaii Papaya (I had a lot of scraps and it still expresses the autumn colors)
You'll be needing these tools:

Other Notes: The ribbons used may be found in craft stores. Buy a whole bulk of chocolate covered raisins in Cosco, it's cheaper and chocolates are shinier. They won't stick onto the plastic. I'm not too happy about chocolates sticking. Check out napkin ring instructions.
Here is my Blog.

2008 Holiday Faire was a Success

We did it! Our first Holiday Craft Faire! It was fun setting up for the event as well as meeting customers. The cards and bears came out so beautiful and attractive, we hit good sales specially on Saturday. We got custom orders as well as leads for those who were interested in hosting classes. We also made scalloped turkeys which SOLD OUT! Some kids bought them for class projects and some as thanksgiving decor on the dinner tables. Oh my, this was really a great experience. We can't wait for the next one which will be on December 6th in Mission Viejo.

Special thanks to Christine who helped us with the cashiering. She was so alert and showed great initiative. The beautiful cards you see are made by Raidis and she really got so many compliments and orders for them too. Check out her blog too. http://www.seekandkeep.blogspot.com/ .
