SinterKlass 2008!!

Aren't these some awesome surprisas.It is alway nice to see the awesome ideas that everyone comes up with.

Sinterklass is a dutch holiday celebrated in the netherlands on dec 5th and in my husband's side this holiday is celebrate every year keeping its natural traditions the same way.

The gift is given in something that symbolizes the person....that is by the way picked out of a hat and kept secret for the rest of the year.Till that day none should know who you have except for your better half.

My father in law had me and my surprisa (gift) came in a large paper coffee cup filled with wrapped gifts.....i had asked for a paper shredder which the gifts were hiding in.It was awesome the cup was approximately 40" in width and 80" in height (not eact...i'm just guessing might be smaller).It was made with yellow cardstock with a gold handle ( his own cup from home was the example used to make this replica of a coffee mug) soooo neat because i love tea. So in the cup the shredded paper was the foam and tea and the gift was hiding in the midst of it and so i had to sift through it to find the gift. Well done papa awesome surprisa !!

I also recieved a chocolate fondue set....I have wanted this for soooo long i can't wait to use it.It will be perfect for birthday parties , friendly get togethers and pure family fun .I can't wait to put it into action.

Love you Papa!! We love our family traditons!!

Have a great week!!

Magnolia Snowman & Stamp Sale

This image is One of My favorites from Magnolia's 2007 christmas release.I borrowed it from my friend Ellie (Ellen).The sentiment is fro stampin up.

I used the copic markers,glossy accents,star and border punch (both stampin up) and stickles on the wings.

christmas card swap

My picture Did not turn out that great but here it is.

As you can see i used a Magnolia Image.I love this one and it is a 2005 image.I have had it for LONG time.

So i stamped it out on Fabriano watercolour paper from Bear Creek Studios in Bayside Mall.It is 140 Lb paper.I love it.

I used my watercolour Lyra pencil crayons and oudourless mineral spirit and coloured the image,once done i placed it to the side and layed down my pattern papers.I chose Imaginice s christmas line. I used my new border punch that i got from Kim Reid and scalloped my green bazill cardstock.I edge distressed the matted picture and used 3d glue dot`s and then cut out with my cuttlebug the snowflake die,,,3d`d that and added a red button to the center of it.

Once all matted and glued down then came my favourite part the embellishing.I used glossy accents for the ornament and then added some stickles and of course the dew drops.

I hope the ladies at the card swap enjoy the card.

TFL!!

HAVE A GREAT RELAXING SUNDAY !!
