I have some exciting news.....I have been invited to be the March Guest Designer for Totally Stampalicious!   I'm thrilled that they asked me to join them and I'm already looking forward to working with their very talented Design Team.

Today's card is for this week's Totally Stampalicious Challenge - to make any kind of Masculine card.  You can find the challenge HERE.  I made this card using the Hawt Dawg Digital Stamp set from Totally Stampalicious and the Stampin Up Sporting digital stamp set from My Digital Studio.  The #1 on Hawt Dawg's jersey was added in MDS.  The sentiment is also from the Sporting SU digital set!  

This card is for my Godson's 11th birthday.  I let him pick out his favorite character from the Totally Stampalicious digital sets and he picked this one!  I love that I can just pick out the stamp set, download it and use it right away!


Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card today!

Top Note Holiday Treat Boxes

Happy day after Thanksgiving my Blog friends!  Today I'm excited to share a cute holiday treat box project with you. 

I saw this adorable treat box on Splitcoast Stampers and just had to make one of my own.  The only problem was that I neither have the Big Shot Pro nor the dress die for the treat container.  So I decided to find a way to make this container using supplies that I already had.  I found a tutorial for the gift box on SCS and modified it a bit to make the body (details included below).  Then I just pieced together the rest of the reindeer using the Top Note Die, tape and some punches.  

I thought this little guy needed a friend so I made a penguin to go along with him!  Here is the penguin....

I'm also including this project in this week's Gearing Up for Christmas Challenge at Bugaboo Stamps.  Thanks for looking at my project and have a Wonderful Day!
