Simply Perfect

As I mentioned earlier this week, Heather prepared a 'Make and Take" for each one of her team members attending the Christmas Dinner a week ago. Can you believe it? It is so adorable and would be appropriate for a guy or girl. Now the Tim Horton mug did not come with the package but everything including the candy/chocolate did; Heather is so sweet, kind, thoughtful and so caring. You know, adding a Tim mug and/or Tim card to this adorable package would be perfect.

I love the colour combination Heather chose for this make n' take; Soft Suede and Kraft. The chocolate bar wrapper is the perfect addition to a good cup of coffee, hot chocolate or while stamping.

This kraft envelope (didn't know SU offered kraft envelopes) houses a package of hot chocolate waiting to be enjoyed of a cold snowy day.

Now the Strawberry Kiwi candy cane is pretty yummy, but imagine a traditional candy cane in this wrapping used to stir the hot chocolate. The wrapping for the candy cane is made from the Two Tags Die.

Candy Cane Hershey Kisses (7 of them) in a small cello bag fits perfectly with a Top Note topper. What I especially love about this is the small piece of cardstock that is stamped and inserted into the cello bag as a backer.

Thank You Heather for this Special Gift of Love.

Top Note Santa

During one of my blog hopping adventures, I came across this adorable Santa made using the Top Note die from Gretchen Barron.

I made a few adjustments and added a Peppermint Stick. I think he is adorable. Thanks Gretchen.

Notes & Treats

As I mentioned yesterday in my post, the Treat Box houses 4 cards with envelopes in the bottom drawer. Here are two of the cards with slight differences with embellishments on the witches hat.

Happy Halloween

A big "Thank You" goes out to Becky over at Inking Idaho for this adorable Halloween Project.

This box holds three cards with envelopes in the bottom drawer (which I will post tomorrow) and the cool part is when you remove the lid from the box you will find a treat or two. Isn't this a fun and fabulous idea?!

Who wouldn't appreciate this sitting on their desk?

Although any stamp set could be used for this project, I wanted to make my first one similar to Becky's so I say a big "Thank You" to my friedn Barb for lending me her Eat,Drink and Be Scary stamp set.

I think this would be a great Christmas gift so be sure to check back soon for my Christmas version.

Thank you to all my followers who find something to inspire them each day to stamp.

Have a wonderful Fall Day.

Holiday Trinkets Christmas Cards

As promised, here are the fun cards we made at the GI Cancer Research Fundraiser on Saturday.

All the cards are fun, quick and easy to mass produce.

We used the Ski Slope Designer Paper which I absolutely love. The stamp set we used was Holiday Trinkets and everyone went home with the set. We used Stampin' Up! classic ink pads in real red, old olive, baja breeze and chocolate chip along with 5/8 inch chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon and a little silver cording.

The cards were left blank and each individual could add there own sentiments.

Tomorrow I will show you the 3-D items we made.

I hope you took time out of your day today to reflect and remember all the heros who fought for the wonderful country we are so blessed to live in today.

I was swept away by my dear friend Barb (by the way I had a great day Barb) and took a road trip to Komoka, Lambeth and Belmont today but at 11:00am we listened to the post and had our two minutes of silence to remember our fallen heros of yesterday and today and also our heros who are still with us today who gave so much. Thank you to our War Veterens.
