Happy Thursday

Hi all,
I have been overwhelmed with the feedback on my advent calendar kit–THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I've completed and mailed out the first round of kits and am taking orders for the next round.  Please let me know if you are interested.  Cost is $35 (plus shipping) and includes everything you need to complete your kit.  Projects will be shipped again on Tuesday (I had to order more supplies!!).  Please contact me asap if you are interested (it takes a while to make these puppies up!) drekow@yahoo.com

And now…some overdue inspiration for you all!  Enjoy!!

This pretty card was one I recieved in a swap and uses the Join in the Cheer Decorative Strip die from the Big Shot Starter Kit (also available seperately)

The colors are Real Red, Kiwi Kiss Prints, Kraft and Black with White Ink.

Also, a build a brad is used in the center of Joy–very fun!

The wheel is the Jumbo Snowflakes wheel.

This adorable card was done by my good friend, Julie (my swapping buddy).  She used Mr Twigster (one of my FAVE's) and the Scallop cirlce #2 Die.  The colors are Baja Breeze, rididng Hood Red, Chocolate Chip and whisper white.

The printed paper is Holiday Treasures and CHocolate Taffeta Ribbon.

ADORABLE!!

Merry CHristmas is from Many Merry Messages

This project is really cool–it uses the set Spotlight on Christmas and is a little gift card holder!  The colors are Pacific Point and Brushed Silver.  The Scallop square and border punches were used along with a rhinestone brad and some silver embossing powder.  The belly band slides off (and there is some white grosgrain ribbon on top of that band) and reveals the inside card holder…

The words are from Elegant Cheer adn if you look, the word window was punched partially on the fold and teh circle punch added a little extra space to place a card.

I will try to make a tutorial on how to do this in the next day or two!!
