A Boutique Photo is Very Difficult to Pull Off

There are 2 kinds of photos that stand out in my mind as being a tough job.  One is a group photo in a living room or around a dining table.  The other is sharing items I made for my Boutique.  The photos just don't do justice to real life fun.  Here's a little peek at some of the things I made for my boutique this year.  I really had fun making them. 

I love our Acrylic Card Boxes and our Mini Pizza Boxes.  They make up into great little gifts.

Many of the items I made with stocking stuffers in mind.  Many contain some wonderful chocolate inside, too.  Little gifts like these are excellent for when you just want to give 'a little something' to a friend, co-worker, neighbor, or a teacher.  Don't forget school bus drivers and Sunday School teachers, too.  The list could go on a lot longer, I'm sure.

You can't see them in the photos but I made up a bunch of our Acrylic Card Boxes with Christmas DSP for belly bands and fun embellishments and put Ghiradelli chocolates inside, along with the poem 'This Year's Homemade Christmas Fudge.'  How fun!  The little box with tiny drawers in the back is for an Advent Calendar.

My cute little Advent Calendar.  You can put tiny treats in each of the little drawers.

 I made up a lot of Mini Pizza Boxes:)  Also, below, I made up some little gift bags with mini bottles of lotion.  It is thick and luxurious and smells wonderful.

I have a variety of fridge magnets and darling little tins.  There just might be some of those at my Christmas Retreat:)

My Christmas Boutique is open by appointment and at my Nov. 13 and 18 classes.  After that, I will close it out to make more room for class and family activities.

A Season of Cheer Card Duo ... AND ... Some Exciting News

What's better than one fun and gorgeous Christmas card?  Why, it's TWO, of course!  I love, love, love this duo of Christmas cards.  Scroll down and enjoy all my post and I'll share all about what we'll be doing at class.  I'll also tell you which card is the one we'll be making at my Saturday Stampers Class this Saturday.

Aren't these full of Christmas cheer?

I love our new Foil Snowflakes.  The package comes with half gold and half silver.

I know I usually share just one card at a time with you, but I couldn't wait for you to see them both and see them together.  And now ... back to Saturday Stampers Class.  We'll be making the card on the right.  Everyone I asked about it, chose this one and it's my favorite, too.

On Saturday .....
- We'll be talking about card designs.
- We'll be working with heat embossing.
- We'll be enjoying some dry embossing, using our gorgeous TIEF folders.
- TIEF stands for Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
- We'll be using a lot of wonderful framelits and thinlits, to make our cards gorgeous.
- We'll be making 2 cards for Fall ... an embossed wreath card and a sunflower card.
- We'll be making 4 cards for Christmas -----
     -- a Season of Cheer card
     -- an elegant embossed reindeer card
     -- a Christmas candles card
     -- an adorable little reindeer card ... AND ... It's a spinner card!!!

OK, I think that sums it up.  It's a class you WON'T want to miss.
