My Entire Christmas Vignette

Today, I thought I'd share all of my vignette I've made for Christmas.  It's so much fun to get out past favorite projects and add new ones each year. 

And, just in case you missed any, here are the previous ones I shared with you. 

We had a lot of fun at my class Monday, even though we were missing several who were out sick.  I'm getting their kits ready for them so they can enjoy creating the cards when they feel better.  I'll be sharing our projects in some of my next posts.

Happy stamping!

Movies, anyone?

Today's project is made from an old movie reel.  This brings back special memories for me.  As a teacher, I frequently showed educational films to my students.  Yes, I know how to thread the film into the projector and set it all up ready to go ... all by myself.  I learned how in an AV class at Millikin University in my undergraduate years.  Today, the reels make great bases for wonderful projects.  I love this one!  Now, is it time for you to go antiquing and find some reels.  I have some smaller reels, too, so I need to think of something to do with those.  One last note - - - you could use one of the larger reels to clip on Christmas cards or photos for a super quick and easy display.

Happy stamping and come back soon!

3-Tiered Tray Display / Free Shipping Today

Hello friends!  Today, I have a really fun project for you to try.  It's quick, easy and so much fun.

Collect some of your favorite Christmas items and have fun arranging them in your choice of favorite trays.  These can be 1, 2 or 3 tiers of fun.  You can also add fairy lights or small (battery operated) candles.

I'd also like to remind you that, today only Stampin' Up! is offering free shipping.  So, order your last minute items today (through me, I hope:) and enjoy the gift of free shipping.

Happy stamping and I hope to see you back here soon.

Is anyone still out there?

I was wondering if anyone was still out there.  I apologize for being  MIA for so long.  I was really concentrating on my PT exercises, spending extra time with family, and trying to catch up in my studio.  

I hope you're still with me.

Here's a sneak peek at some of my Christmas displays. I've had so much fun creating these. I made the framed projects a couple of years ago. Each square represents multiple layers of each 'building' to give them all dimension. It's one of my most favorite projects ever. I'll share more in future posts.

Happy stamping and I hope to find you back here again soon.

LAST DAY OF JULY / ONE LAST CHRISTMAS IN JULY POST

I don't know how it got to be the last day of July already, but I have one last Christmas in July post to share with you before we say hello to August.  These were all my 'blues' for my displays in my vintage cabinet last year.  I used Gesso to attach DSP to art canvases to create my backdrop.  I love how these turned out.  Blue is my favorite color.  After seeing the new DSP coming out in a few days, I think this year's displays for this cabinet will be lots of silvers, grays and blues.  I can't wait to get started on it.
