Avocado Arts Guest Designer

Hello!  Today I have a fun post for you!  This is my first post as the Avocado Arts guest designer for the month of December!  This month's set is called Brrr...and the Nerdy Snow Peeps.  This set is seriously adroable!  I'm a sucker for snowpeople, and this set has two different snow people that you can customize to your liking.  You can have a snowman with glasses, a tie or other fun embellishments that you wouldn't think of right away but make a really cute combo!

Stop by the Avocado Arts store and blog for more details on the December kit and for more examples from the Pit Crew!

The Gift of Christmas

...is in the from of cowbells.  Yes, cowbells.  :)



Today I have a fun post for you.  My Twitter BFF, Michelle Philippi and I have a fun post featuring cowbells.  This whole thing started when we joined forces to purchase some rusty jingle bells.  Before I knew it, cowbells were in the mix as well.  What was I going to do with cowbells?

I decided to make a really easy and fun Christmas gift featuring cowbells. I started out with a brown paper sack from Michelle's Etsy store.  I created a tag using the MFT Die-namics tag die and covered it in My Mind's Eye DP.  I added a snowflake using one of the PTI snowflake die cuts and a sentiment from Unity's October Kit of the Month.  I tied the whole thing with some cream ribbon, twine, and a cowbell. 

Hop over to Michelle's blog to see what she created...I'm sure it will be creative and adorable!  Thanks for playing along, Michelle!

WMSC74 - Christmas Spirit

Hello!  I hope you are all recovering nicely from your Thanksgiving food coma or late-night shopping trip!  I don't shop Black Friday in stores.  In fact, I do very little of my Christmas shopping in real stores at all.  :)  Most of mine is done online. 

This card is for this week's Waltzingmouse sketch challenge.  I'm in love with Seasonal Remedies, it makes perfect holiday cards.  :)

Thanks for stopping!
