happy holidays

Good morning!

I can't believe it's already November and I can't believe that it's only 6 weeks to Christmas!!

I always say "I'll be more organized and on top of things next year". 

Then the next year comes and I'm rushing to get things done, the same as I was the year before.

Oh well, some day?

While getting into the holiday spirit, I created this adorable little card using some older and (some new) Avery Elle sets, as well as their newly released dies,

Finished Frames.

I just love the edge you get on the paper when you cut these out, there is a larger size panel as well. 

Now unfortunately I mostly covered up that edge with my stamping, but it still adds a bit of texture.

There are so many cute little die cuts that you can use as embellishments. I have actually used a few on a layout I will be showing you next week.

The other sets I used are North Pole, Joy to the World, and Let it Snow.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

heartfelt thanks

Hello!

I have a quick card to share today that I made using the new Avery Elle set Red & Goldie.

I used the matching dies, Red & Goldie Elle-ments

and the tree silhouettes from Let it Snow.

      

This set is too darn adorable!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

warm wishes - a CASE

Good morning!!

Things are just hopping around my neck of the woods. 

I am desperately trying to get ready for 2 craft fairs this week!

Yikes!! I am such a procrastinator.

Today I want to show you a card I made, but I can't take ANY credit for the design! This is a total CASE.

I found this AMAZING card by the fabulous Laura @ doublestick heaven.

I adore the Let it Snow stamp set, 

and have been wanting to use the tree trunks like this.

I saw her's and just had to recreate it.

The fonts on this set are just fabulous!

Please head on over to the Avery Elle blog for more inspiration from Jamie and the DT.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
