Hello Bloggy Friends! I know it's still hot and sticky outside but I guess I needed a liitle chill in the air! Or at least I can just pretend since Florida has rare chilly days...I'm trying this year to actually get my Christmas cards done early!! Now if I can get them into the mail on time that will be INCREDIBLE!
I had a head start on this one though. I colored her last year, it was just after the holiday season. I love the holiday season for me it's starts in the Fall all the way through New Years! I love decorating and crafting in such rich colors. It's the best time of the year to be crafty!

Couple of details to share... image is from SWALK's winter collection and colored in Copics. The paper is Nordic from Basic Grey...I love this collection! Can't wait to see what holiday paper comes this year!

 Hope your having a great week!

Can you believe 2011 is almost over?? I can't!! This year just flew by!! But what a year it has been. Let's see....I finally joined Facebook, I've made amazing friends in blogland and stamping world and my family...well they are still just priceless.

Today I share a calendar page to start the New Year off. This is SWALK's Winter Collection, Let it Snow. This is as close to snow as I am going to get! LOL!! I love watching it fall and sometimes I miss it but then I get dressed in December. I put on a pair of shorts, t-shirt and SUNBLOCK! Love that paradise!

Good Morning all! Happy Thursday! I have been away on holiday fun and vacation. Yesterday sadly I took my sister to the airport for her trip back home and even though I have 5 days left to my vacation I feel like it's just about over :-(

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I sure did. My girls and I and having a great time just being together. They got a new Wii game called Just Dance 3 and we have been dancing and laughing way to hard!

How Cute is she!! Crafter's Companion just released thier 4th series collection of SWALK. She is called The Present.

I have a little girl's birthday party coming up in a couple of weeks and thought this little cutie would make her smile. I used what I had left of my Best Creations Let's Party paper. It had the best cutout pieces! This paper went a long way for me!

She's colored in Copics and to give the birthday girl a little extra surprise, the image stays with the inside of the card. I created a little quick tip/tutorial on how I keep my cutout centered throughout on the Crafter's Companion News Blog. Come take a look! Also the Design Team has been giving you great inspiration all week long so browse around!

One more piece of Happy News! Do you think she's just adorable?! Me too! SO Crafter's Companion is giving away the entire Series 4 Collection to USA residents only!

Hello Everyone, WOW is it me or the days just flying by. Can you believe it's already the end of September? I felt like I just celebrated my youngest birthday and now I am celebrating my oldest birthday. Her party is this Saturday and she is so excited! Me well I am still in disbelief that 10 years has past.

So after alot of running around for her party. I do deserve a treat and I got one. Crafter's Companion sent thier design team a sneak peak of SWALK stamps that will be released in the next couple of weeks. This one is called "Deserve a Treat". The name and the image just had me wanting to create a treat box.

During my blog lurking, I found this adorable box at Dena's Stamping Corner and she found this box instructions here. It's super simple, deifinatly a treat box I will make over and over.

I had one sheet of this DP left. It's from Daisy D's (a retired company). I love the petite roses print. I was sooooo careful not to cut no more than what I needed. My image is colored in Copics and the lounge chair is also paper pieced in this adorable paper.

So today's try a new technique at Fussy and Fancy. If you haven't tried paper piecing give it a chance. It adds just the right texture to great images or just create this fun little box. Both are sure to be fun!

Stop by Fussy and Fancy and see what the design team has come up with in techiniques. They have certainly inspired me to give it a try!

Have a great weekend,
