My friend, Tania, whose projects you see every Tuesday needs your help. She lives in a real life 900 square foot cottage and creates these lovely projects in her storage/laundry room under the stairs. Tania (aka CEDARGIRL) has entered a contest on Splitcoaststampers to win an amazing Scrapbox! This would really help with her space issue. You should read her entry and posts. It is amazing the amount of work and effort that she has put into this contest. Her entry can be found here http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460622.

Tuesday With Tania

Today is Tuesday with Tania so I am posting in her words. Danita
I recently celebrated World Card Making Day at Splitcoaststampers and it was a blast! One of the challenges put out was to make a christmas ornament. I all ready knew I wanted to to something with my Big Shot Pillow Die so I made these little scalloped pillows. Real Red & Old Olive CS, Deer Friends set on Confetti Cream CS, and the new twill ribbon from this year's mini! Danita demoed them at the recent Van Isle meeting and I heard that the ideas of using photos and such started to flow! That's awesome! Happy creating! -tania

Tuesdays With Tania

Every Tuesday, I will post something my dear friend Tania as created. This week, I am sharing a Thanksgiving card and a place setting card. In Canada, Thanksgiving is this weekend so I need to get a few table decorations completed as well. I will try to show you what I come up this week for other Thanksgiving decorations. So what is your opinion on these two projects?
Happy Stamping,
Danita

Pillow Box Cup

Isn't it cute! I used the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers and watched the video at the bottom of the page done by Beate Johns to create this Hot Chocolate Cup(http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/pillowboxbucket/). Hmmmm....I am thinking that this would make a great teacher's gift. What do you think? I changed the dimensions of the handle by making it wider to 1 inch instead of 3/4 inches. I also pushed the handle into the slotted holes until it looked just right. You cannot see it but I also texturized the handle using the petals-a-plenty embosssing folder from the Holiday Mini Catty. On another note, I am rearranging my stamp room again so that it is completely functional. Once that is done, I will post pictures. Have a great weekend. Danita
