SNOWMAN MAKING ANGEL

Good Morning.  I'm about to run out and do some errands.  Besides Thanksgiving on Thursday, our daughter's birthday is Friday and my hubby's birthday is Saturday, so have to pick up a couple of last minute things for all of these events.  And I HAVE to stop into my local stamp store in the process!

Today's card is a darling little stamp from Motivet, that I purchased at the annual "Garage Sale"

at my local stamp store this summer.  Isn't she adorable.  Good thing I never put a stamp away until I have stamped it or I would have forgotten about this little beauty.

My Card Recipe

Stamp - Motivet, snowflakes, various from my stash

Papers - Silver cardstock base card - Light blue glitter cardstock

Snowflake border - Memory Box (love these intricate dies and they cut like butter)

Corner punch - Paper Shapers

Border snowflakes - K & Company

White gel pen

Colored with Copics

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great Tuesday.  Only two more days til Turkey Day!

Until later.............

BSS MONDAY IDEA - THE COOKIE JAR

WELCOME TO THE MONDAY BUFFALO STAMPS AND  STUFF IDEA.

Today's idea is a jar filled with gingerbread men (and women and children) with an adorable tag.

Always looking for a small gift for a teacher, or neighbor, etc. This one is great.

Just fill with something yummy, like cookies or candy, make a tag and decorate.

The tag is made with a stamp from Mark's Finest Papers, Ginger Cookies.

The little guy on the lid is from the same set. I colored with Copics.

I used Kraft and red gingham papers, twine and a wooden button.

The tag was cut with a Sizzix die. I purchased the glass jar at Hobby Lobby at

50% off! The cookies are Pepperidge Farm. I cut a piece of acetate to put over the

jar front on the tag to look like glass.

Fill a jar with some goodies for someone for Christmas, fun to decorate and always fun to

receive.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Monday.  Until later.......

APPLE OF MY EYE

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great Sunday.  Tomorrow is HM Monday and BSS Monday idea, two new posts.

JACK'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

I'm late today, it's almost tomorrow.  I started to vacuum today and got carried away with tearing things apart and before you know it it was late afternoon.  Then I was exhausted!  So didn't get to my stamp room (except with the vacuum cleaner) until after dinner. 

Today's card is for the first birthday of my daughters best friend's son, Jack.  The big day is November 22nd.  He is a sweetie.

I received a birthday card from my blogging friend Stephanie with this adorable stamped giraffe and

immediately fell in love with it and ordered it.  It also comes with the sentiment, There's nothing like comfort food!  Isn't that so funny!  Thanks Steph, loved your beautiful card.
