It’s the day after Christmas! A time to sit in your pjs all day and do absolutely nothing or hop in your car to return gifts or get some good buys. I am a sit in your comfy PJs all day kind of girl.
Today I have a project that I posted in September 2012. I used the Cannery Set Framelits which can currently be found in the Clearance Rack (while supplies last). I was so sad when these retired but was very happy to see them show up on the Clearance Rack. There is a matching stamp set but it is no longer available. I used it for the top of my jar but using just the Framelits, you could use the jar top piece with a pretty piece of Designer Series Paper. That would look very cute! You can see my original post HERE.

Quick post today as Christmas Day is getting close!! Do you have a gift card and you’re wondering how you can package it in a different way? Use a plain tin container and emboss it! I used my Versamark to stamp my snowflakes, sprinkled them with silver embossing powder and heat embossed them! Be careful, as they do get quite hot! I added paper to the inside of the tin and made a small envelope with my Envelope Punch Board. Next, I ran it through my Big Shot with the Northern Flurry embossing folder.
Thank you for stopping by today!

Today would have been my dad’s 85th birthday. We lost him in 2009 and not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. He was all about family and he adored all of us. I was blessed with a wonderful father and grandfather for my daughters.

This black and white photo sure dates me!
This last photo is of my daughters and my dad. Both of my girls are in their thirties now but this has always been a favorite picture of mine. They loved their grandpa!
So sweet!

How sweet are these two little guys??? Love them! You can find these cuties in the Best of Snow stamp set. Before coloring with my Stampin’ Markers and blender pen, I stamped the image with Staz-On. This prevents my image from bleeding. I used the Labels Collection Framelits and pierced the larger one using the Festive Paper Piercing Pack. I know that it is a bit hard to see that detail in the picture. I stamped my sentiment in Real Red and it’s from the set Joy to the World. I used our gorgeous silver ribbon, first wrapping a piece around my paper and adhering it to the back. Then I made a bow and used a glue dot to attach it.

There are still many items on the Clearance Rack at greatly reduced prices! This 8×8 album was $14.95 and now you can pick it up for $5.99! I bought one several months ago and I decided to use it to house my Framelits!
First, I have a close up for you of the cover as it is a bit hard to see the detail in the picture above. I bought magnetic vent covers (they come 3 to a pack) and cut them a little bit smaller than 8×8 so that they would be easy to pull out of the sleeve and I made a label for each page. The binder is very heavy but I like that I can quickly locate the Framelit I want. I can pull out one piece or if I want or the entire “page” I can take it out of the sleeve and have it right near my Big Shot. If you aren’t aware of this, it is very important to keep magnets away from your computer, so you don’t want to store this binder near your computer.
If you would like to purchase one of these binders before they are gone, you can visit my online store here. Thanks so much for stopping by!

I thought it would be fun to re-visit this card that I made last year in November. You can never go wrong with a Santa card! You can read the original post HERE!
I’ve been out of town for two weeks and just arrived back home today. My husband was not able to travel with me but he was out of town too and arrived last night at my mom’s where I was staying for a few days. We headed home this morning but he had to go right back to the airport a few hours after we got home (he’s an airline pilot). I was sad to spend so little time with him, but he’ll be gone for just a few days. I will use my time alone to finish wrapping up Christmas gifts and I can’t wait to get into my stamp room!
I hope you have an enjoyable day! Thank you for stopping by!
