Stamp Some Smiles

Craft show

Here it is, my itty bitty table with my small amount of crafts. Six gift cans, bookmarks, towel angels, and four pot holder dish towel sets, and cards...that's it. All I had time for! I had a fun time and met some new people, two ladies from Church signed up for my next stamp camp, so that is good! What an extremely long couple of weeks. I need a vacation! LOL Tomorrow I will post some pics of my Stamp Camp this weekend. I hope you can join us next month, we are making gift cards, money cards,and a stocking stuffer. There will be Christmas music, and cookies, and hot and iced tea...I can't WAIT!

Pot holder Pockets with Towel and Tea Tag

Here are a few pot holder pockets with matching towels, I made little tea bag tags to go with them, you could also slip in a gift card for the ultimate hostess gift!
I know I would love to get this as a hostess gift, there is also a cute one with a ginger bread man on it, too sweet!

Gift Tag Container

Today I got one thing made, just one...or maybe four, depending on how you look at it. Three tags and a decorative container. I need to make more tags for inside of this can, but for now this is how far I have gotten. I have a container that I had decorated, and I love it! I use it to collect quarters in, and it is well over a hundrend dollars before it is full. Great for saving up for a treat. Here is how it looks so far, I am not sure if I will add more to it ... as far as decoration goes, just thought I would show you the work in progress.

I thought I would have a bit of time tomorrow, but I was asked, TODAY, to work...I can't skip out on the meeting with the Reverend, and I also can't miss my cleaning appointment at the Dentist, so I will be going in for the afternoon/evening shift. I hope I am not too tired to make at least one thing tomorrow, wish me luck!

How to add stamping to craft projects

So there's a craft show I am in next Sunday. It is at Park Church at 11:00, I would LOVE to see your smile! Please stop in and see me. I am planning on making some great things, let's hope I have the time to get them done. Sure didn't get much done today...and this was my one day to accomplish the most....darn! I just seemed to be going in slow motion...so write this on your calendar, I am going to bed EARLY! Okay, normal time is 2 in the morning so don't get too excited, it is only 10! Here are a few photos of what I made today, this is one of six...I can never make too many of the same thing, drives me crazy...So now I am thinking of giving these as Sunday School teacher gifts instead of selling them, or making a couple more to sell, I still have supplies....to make a few,hmmmmmmm
I made a tag with a pretty saying on it and added it on.

Then I looked at it and thought, man oh man...I really want to add stamping to this. How? The tag is almost too big already...should I change it? Hmmm, how do you add stamping to any different types of craft projects. That is the million dollar question. I will be trying my hand at that over the next few days. I will be making different things, using all kinds of "bases", but I want to add my special love, my style, my stamping. So I touched up the tag a bit:

I love the way this came out! I have six of these angels in a basket and I will be touching up the tags of the others in the morning. It was the perfect touch, not too much, but special. It really finished it for me. On the schedule for tomorrow... in the morning before work I want to try to make a few snowflake ornaments using the felt snowflakes from the holiday mini, some dazzling diamonds, so "bling brads", some things from the pretties kit, and maybe I will throw in a few other things, we'll just have to see how it goes.
