December 3, 2011 Christmas Memory Card Game

Good evening everyone!!!!

I just finished making some Christmas Memory Cards for my son's class to use at their Christmas party.:0)

I purchased two sets of chipboard coasters at Michael's; they were in the $1.50 bin.
I attached the cardstock (Recollections) with double-stick tape. After that I sanded the edges of the cardstock down with a foam sanding block.
One side of the coaster is white...I used that side to place the shape. The Christmas theme was the side I covered with cardstock.

Here are the cartridges I used to create this.
From My Kitchen: gingerbread man
Hello Kitty Greetings: snowman
Winter Frolic: tree and mouse with gift
Doodlecharms: Santa
Create a Critter:reindeer

Paper used: K&C Company and Recollections

Have a great weekend everyone!!!;0)

Bex, this Christmas memory game is such a wonderful idea! I LOVE it!!! I have a bunch of round coasters and now I'm definitely inspired to try this for my little neice for Christmas! Gosh, SO super creative!! TFS and regarding your comment on my blog about the stars on my mini pails--I got those stars at JoAnn's in the floral isle--they were in bins and there's different styrofoam shapes, like candies and presents and stars but they're on "branches" so I just disassembled them for what I wanted. Hope that helps and thanks for your super sweet comments, you made my day! Glad you got you some tissue paper to stamp too, it's so fun! :)

May 23, 2012 It's Summer (Summer Wreath .... minus the apostrophe.....)lol

Good afternoon everyone. I am not sure why...but this project took me a really long time. I need to put my little apostrophe in my wreath too.....ooops! Ok....here is what I used to create the wreath..... I purchased a large foam ring at Michael's, as well as some pretty light blue yarn. I covered the ring of foam in yarn, that took a long time. I started in the inside of the wreath so you wouldn't see the glue as much. I used a hot glue gun. I used the "Life's a Beach" cartridge for everything BUT the wording ... The letters are from Base Camp. I didn't see an apostrophe...but there was quotation marks. I need to still add that. That is my go to cartridge for letters. Hope you like my project. Have a great day!:0)

November 5, 2011 Rosette Turkey

Good afternoon everyone!!! I made a rosette this morning. I was wanting to make some sort of Thanksgivng decoration for my son's teacher and this is what I came up with. I found the directions for the rosette here: http://mrsbscraftroom.blogspot.com/ Go check out here blog if you haven't been there before. She made a beautiful pumpkin rosette.:0) AND she made a video to show you how to make it.;0) I followed the instructions she had and made the brown rosette. I added an extra rosette on the top, I believe it was 2 1/2 x 12 (2 pieces). What I added: 3 strips of 4 x 12 scored at 1/2 inch intervals. I made a 1/2 rosette. At the bottom (to hold it together) is about a 2x12 strip of the same cardstock glued to the rosette. The cartridge I used was Create a Critter. The cardstock I used was: rosette and turkey (Recollections) and the rest was (old) SU. Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!!!:0)

Good evening everyone! I found some super cute brown envelopes a few weeks back at Archiver's. It was $2.99 for 12 envelopes (4 x 3.75 in).

I cut a piece of patterned paper at 1 1/2 x 3 3/4 for the front of the card. The patterned cardst
