Papertrey Free Download Contest #1

So this is just perfect timing! I just sold a ton of my beloved PTI stamps to help fund a new, very overdue DSLR camera. So I'm grateful that I can use these gorgeous images. Also, today marks day SEVEN of being stranded at home. Between ice storms, illnesses and snowstorms this has been one VERY long week. I need to create something desperately to get my sanity back! And it's Superbowl Sunday so the hubby is occupied. Pefect!

I couldn't imagine designing my own stamp set. I would DIE a happy woman! Good luck to everyone!!! :)

A Banner and A Winner!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. I was able to get some crafting done thanks to the Football Playoffs. :) I created this Valentine's themed banner for our mantle. It looks so empty now that the holidays are over. I needed to put something up there!

I used Perfect Presentation's Pennant Banner cut file.

And their latest release, Lacey Circles.

 I absolutely LOVE these lacey circles!! And I love the fact that I can re-size them to whatever size I need.

Don't look too closely at the hearts on the bottom of the V pennant. I had my 5 yr old chit chatting the entire time I was crafting. So I got a little distracted. ;)

Okay, now on to the winner of the template from Perfect Presentation. She gets to choose from a PDF, SVG or GSD file. So many great things to choose from! So without further ado....

Be Mine - Perfect Presentation Group Post

So...did you think I fell off the face of the earth? Almost feels like it! I've missed blogging but with so many things going on at home, mixed in the holidays and being sick for the entire month of December....I had no time to create anything.

But today I have a special treat for you! With Valentine's day just around the corner, we all need ideas on how to wrap up some sweets for your sweetie. :)

Introducing "Be Mine" by Perfect Presentation.

Isn't this template just the cutest?! And it came together so easily. I used my Silhouette SD cutting machine. The template comes with the box and mats for the each side and the heart on top. It's available in GSD, SVG and PDF.

I chose to use a clear cardstock that has a beautiful design on it that matched perfectly with PTI's Hibiscus Burst Cardstock.

A cute little bow and tag on top finishes it off.

So what do you think of this newest template? One random commenter will win their choice of template from the store!!

You have until Sunday at midnight. I'll post the winner on Monday, January 10th.

Check out what the rest of the Perfect Presentation DT made and for more chances to win a FREE template of your choice!

Perfect Presentation Holiday Gift Ideas!

I have some exciting news!! Over the weekend I was asked to join the Design Team for Perfect Presentation! They have wonderful templates for a phenomenal value. They come in SVG, GSD and PDF. Today I used my Silhouette SD to cut out this adorable Winter Sleigh.

(You can click on all of the images to see the pictures larger.)

It came together so quickly and easily. I am in love with the shape of this sleigh!! I wanted to keep it simple so I just added a flourish that I cut out with my Silhouette. I spruced it up with some stickles and gave the skates some shine with some big chunky mica flakes.

I put some Hershey Kisses into a clear bag and tied it off with some ribbon and twine. Then I added a few mini jingle bells to the tag. All ready to be given to a friend, neighbor or teacher. It was so much fun making this sleigh that I can't wait to put together some more.

Check out what the rest of the Perfect Presentation DT made!

So Grateful

This Thanksgiving I decided to send a card to some of my friends. Just to let them know that I am grateful for them.



As I was making them I noticed that I was surrounded by a lot of cards. Many more than I thought I would be making.

I realized that I have a lot of dear friends that surround me. And how fortunate I am.
