I hit 5000!

Wow, I can't believe I've had over 5000 hits. So, tomorrow (Wednesday) I will be offering some sweet dreams (aka blog candy) for my loyal readers. More details in tomorrow's post.

And, as another treat, I made my Christmas Krispie pops today and took pictures for you. And, I wrapped them cute so you can get a fun gift idea.

A Couple justjohanna Tree Cards

I love justjohanna lacy border. I can use this stamp for anything. Here, I used it to make the scallops for my Christmas trees. I just alternated TAC Native Land and TAC Pine Tree inked lacy borders. I made my own template for the tree shape. Then, I cut out the tree and added Stickles to the outside edge and about every other scallop. I freehand cut out the trunk from a scrap of Provo Craft paper then stamped justjohanna pierre le bunny (side), floral florish left and owl fred-big with TAC Pine Tree ink onto background white cardstock. The inside sentiment is justjohanna Joy to the World.

Come back tomorrow for something extra special. :)

Another Countdown to Christmas

Isn't this awesome! Yes, it's another cookie sheet advent calendar. But, this one is different. I participated in a cookie sheet advent calendar number swap. There were 8 participants. Each of us made 8 copies of 3 different numbers (except the hostess who made 4.) Some of the numbers came out fabulous. Number 10 was too big for my cookie sheet so I had to replace it with a domino. I'll find another use for number 10.

The Christmas title is a red wooden cutout from M's $1 bin that I added clear Stickles too. My favorite part is the black pom pom border at the bottom.

Are you ready for Christmas?

I'm not. But, I did work on these ornaments for my mum. I bought the antique, plastic silver ornaments in a box of 6 at the Goodwill store. They had tacky, plastic ribbon on them so I went the Michaels and bought some pretty ribbon, tied them up and voila, instant charm.

I am going to try to go back to Goodwill today. There are always new treasures to discover.

Funky Star Card

What? Another origami card? Yep. This one is my more funky style. The front flap lifts up for the message. The sentiment is justjohanna joy to the world and the border is justjohanna created for you by. I only inked the dashed line. I stamped it kind of crooked to look more funky. Then, I used my lumocolor black marker and added some doodled stars. The patterned paper is BoBunny. I don't know how well it works as a Christmas card but I think it's kinda cool.
