Here is what I created for the hop:

My Hubby collects Nutcrackers so I knew that's what I wanted to make. The DCWV Merry Memories Stack was PERFECT! I love that is had masculine patterns.  The Nutcracker is from JGW Nutcracker Patrol. I will for sure be doing more from that collection! 

Here is a couple more pics of the other side and back. I also used DCWV Glitzy Glitter Pack , and the boot laces are Trendy Twine's Cherry Limeade

love me a turkey

Good Evening! I just love this little turkey! He is from KaDoodle Bug Designs he is DS CK Pumpkin Turkey. I used my Copic to color him up. 

I also used Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine.

And the following from Jaded Blossom:

Let's Talk Turkey, Fall Dies, Spring Dies, Mini Tag Dies 2,  Scallop Caddy Die, and Candy Charms and Banner Dies.

So here is a tutorial of how I made the box. Please be kind as this is the first tutorial I have done.

So step 1 is you want to cut 4 of them out.

step 2 you glue them side by side like you see above these will be your front and back

step 3 then you glue the very end tabs together like you see below these are your sides.

finally you should end up with it looking like this.

Thank you!

I am also entering this into Jaded Blossom's November Challenge- Thanksgiving

Christmas Cards preview

Hello, today is my day over on the SVG Attic Blog and I am so excited to share with you all a preview of an upcoming collection.  Love these Christmas cards, the aspect of nature in all of them is what draws me to them!

Hope you enjoy each one of them as much as I do! 

***Edited- this collection is called JGW Pinecones and Holly Card Kit***

This first one is of course a christmas wreath, I added glossy accents to the berries to make them pop.

I popped the heart on this on and put it on a wobble for something different.

here it is in action.

This one might be my fav if I had to choose. Although I do love them all! I just love the intricate of all the pieces. 

Yes I had fun with my twine on this one. 

Wanted to add a bit of different colors for this one.

My hubby loves pine cones. I did use my eBrush with my copic for the shading on this one. So so happy with the results.

Here is a list of what else was used for these cards.

Trendy Twine - Twisted Lime, Twisted Blue Berry, and Christmas Mint

Jaded Blossom - Dimensional Banner Dies, Label Dies, Mini Tag Dies 2, Elegant Holiday Greetings, Merry & Bright. (FYI some of the dies were cut longer to fit the sentiments)

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Hello, I love to look thru the Kadoodle Bug Designs Store and see all the designs. Well one day while doing this I came across this file and was like "OMG, where have you been hiding all this time?" Now, you might be asking, "what?" Well let me tell you, I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes! So when I found the Pumpkin Spice Moose I knew I had to make him!

I also used my newest fav. Trendy Twine Spiced Pumpkin

To put this all together here is a list of what else I used.
