My son is an avid Snoopy fan so when I saw the November Stamp of the Month from Close To My Heart–Seasonal Trees–I knew I had to try making a Charlie Brown tree with the one tree image.
Winter Flurries Box
I love snow. And snowflakes. A lot actually. I’m drawn to snowflake stamp sets, dies, wrapping paper–you name it. If it has snowflakes, I most likely will love it! So now that I no longer see it regularly like I did when I grew up in the Midwest, I relish the opportunity to use it in my crafting! 🙂

Seasonal Trees Bokeh Technique Card
This month’s Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month, Seasonal Trees, offers the chance to try out some really fun techniques with it. For this month’s Technique Time Class, I taught the ladies the Bokeh technique using the stamp set. Even though we all had the same supplies, each of our cards turned out a little different–so awesome!
Festive Popcorn Ornament
It’s been a pretty busy week for me as I’ve been preparing for a school craft fair today. I made a bunch of these popcorn ornaments as I love the creative look to them. I haven’t made them in years. In fact, if you want to make some of your own, I did a popcorn ornament tutorial 8 years ago (wow, 8 years! )
Fringe Harvest Wreath
Ever have a project you start and then it falls to the wayside and gets forgotten only to be found months, even years, later? Yep, this is one of those projects 🙂 I just finished it last week and LOVE how it turned out.
An Interactive Birthday Card
I bet you make your fair share of birthday cards, right? Birthday cards are a lot of fun to make. Plus, they bring a lot of happiness to the recipient. Close To My Heart has a *NEW* birthday set that is a definite “must-have.”

It’s time to start thinking Christmas Cards! If you make your own holiday cards do you tend to go the traditional route or a little more whimsical like today’s card I received from Debbi Foley?
