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

Christms Elf Tag

Well, I have to admit that I have been working on Christmas projects for a little while now. I made this cute little guy for a stamping workshop. I do workshops, birthday parties, stamping clubs and participate in fundraisers. Back to the elf. He was really easy to make. I used the Scallop Circle Die and many different punches to make the elf.

I have another Christmas project to share tomorrow. Have a great day. Danita

Teacher's Gifts

At the beginning of every school year, I like to give my children's teachers a little gift to start off the year. It is my way of saying that I appreciate them and what they do. Teachers have a very important and difficult job. I am a very practical person so I give consumable gifts. Here are the two teacher gifts that I made.

I put thumb tacks, magnets, paperclips and chocolate in the different boxes. A mini sharpie was placed on the outside since it would not fit inside.

Happy Stamping, Danita

Bad Blogger

I must apologize for being a bad blogger. It has been one thing after another and now it is time that I start blogging again. Thanks to my dear friend for reminding me that I have a blog. You know who you are. So what have I been up to? I went to visit with a friend who lives in the most beautiful place in the Cariboo. Loved it. I participated in a card swap in which I made 62 cards. Wow! That sure was a lot of cards. I will be posting some of those in the next few days. What else? I officially opened my stamp room in my house. I must say that it is absolutely wonderful. I am still organizing and I will show pics of that as well. Then, school started back for my childern and I am finally in the groove. Also, there was our local fall fair that I participated in. I am now busy with my stamping clubs, workshops and birthday parties.

I met with my stamping club ladies during the first week of September and gave each of them a little gift. I think I still have one here waiting. I made 10 of these matchboxes and tried to put each of their favourite candies in them. I liked how they turned out. Have a great day and happy stamping.
