All about Chocolate

Thank you for hopping along the Scrapbook Place Blog Hop!! I know the prior ladies had some projects to share with you. If you just happened upon my blog, the blog hop starts on Linda's Blog. I don't want you to miss a thing. Now on to my project.

Of course me being the procrastinator that I am, I created this really cute tin filled with chocolate nuggets! All items that i've used are Stampin Up!. The chocolates are covered with our designer series paper (dsp) called Everyday Enchantment. This paper is lovely and is available for FREE until the end of March with a $50 purchase.

On the outside of the tin I used our Pool Party cardstock along with some more Everyday Enchantment dsp to go over the cardstock. I also used two colors of ribbon on this project along with an adorable brad. The ribbon & brad are also available for FREE with a $50 purchase. The item is called Everday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack.

This project was incredibly easy to make and can be given as gifts. I enjoyed making this project this evening. I hope you enjoy it also!! If you like my project leave my blog some love!!

Your next stop is Lindsy's Blog and I know she also has a gorgeous project just waiting for you!! Until next time.....

Valentine's Day Open House

This is one of the 2 cards that we made on 1/21 @ an open house that I had. This card is made with whisper white and basic black cardstock. The whisper white mat is embossed. We used Stampin Up's heart sizzlit and used SU's heart punch for the top of that heart.

Sale-A-Bration (SAB) is now going on. With any $50 purchase you make, you can choose something out of the SAB catalog absolutely free!!

I will post the other card we made tomorrow.

Another Christmas Card

I absolutely LOVE this card!! This card uses another favored stamp set "Greeting Card Kids" which not only includes this adorable little girl in a Christmas stamp but also includes her in a Halloween stamp, a Valentines Day stamp and a going back to school stamp w/a little boy. Stamp set is very versatile. Hope you like this Christmas card also!!!

Christmas Card I Made

Today I made this Christmas Card using 2 of my most favorite stamps. The background stamp is "Lovely As A Tree" stamped in Crumb Cake and "Dasher" stamped in Early Espresso. It's a very simple card to make when you're in a hurry and I think it looks rather elegant. Hope you agree!!

Baking With The Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps

 

About a week ago I had both of my grandchildren spend the night with me and we decided that we wanted to bake cookies! We decided to make pumpkin spiced sugar cookies...now that they're a little older it was alot more fun. This year my granddaughter Katie actually wanted to wear her apron (last year she refused!)...

They each got a turn to stir the cookie mix. Baking cookies with them was so much fun because they were so excited that they got to stand on a chair and actually experience baking. I popped them in the oven for approximately 15 minutes...meanwhile Hunter decided to get goofy on us....

In Hunters being silly picture you can see the "New" Stampin Up! cookie press that we are now selling. What it does is after the cookies are baked you can press a design on each individual cookie! We chose the snowflake press for this baking session (which I think we'll use throughout December...Santa will LOVE the design on his cookies!!!)....Here's the finished cookie....

The children LOVED eating the cookies that "they" made. They cannot wait to bake more cookies with grandma (and neither can I!!)  You can order the cookie press on my Stampin Up! website @ http://www.stampinwithdianeh.stampinup.net/.
