Prayer Card for my son and his wife!

These are prayer cards I made with "My Digital Studios" to pass out to friends and family as a reminder to keep our son and his wife in prayer while he is away in Afghanistan.
The possibilities are endless, I love the software!

CD Holder

Isn't this so cute!! My sister Kathy made these for us to wrap the Christmas CD's in! Well, needless to say, all of my sisters stamp, so we all love the packaging & the CD! I had to share, she is very creative!!

I just love My Digital Studio!! Although, I did stamp my actual Christmas cards, I wanted to add
a few pictures, so everyone could see what all of the boys are up to this year! This was a great way to do it, and I was even able to make it match my cards!! Too fun!! I will post my main card I sent out soon as well!!

Tag Box

You might notice I haven't been posting daily! Well family is always first at my house! I am thrilled that all of my kids are coming home for Christmas, and I want to make sure every is perfect before they get here, so I have been very busy around the house, making sure all of the traditions are covered! I do have projects to post, but it won't be everyday! As my son Garrett will be leaving for Afghanistan in January for a year, I want to spend quality time with him (and his amazing wife). Needless to say, I will not be stamping while they are here!! (Not to mention, my oldest son is staying in my stamping room!) So check back often, I do have a lot of fun projects to share!! Thanks for understanding!!

This is a fun tag box, straight from the Stampin' Up! Website! It uses the level 2 hostess set, "Christmas Punch"! You can download the box pattern here!

Fun Photo Clipboard

Another quick and easy gift giving idea made with the "Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin" Kit!!
I just love the ease of these projects!!

Okay, so a little change of pace! Next to Christmas, I love to stamp for Valentines, so I snuck this set out of my cupboard while I was stamping this morning!

Christmas Stocking

I was hanging out up in my stamping room this morning, and have several things I have to be working on, but what to my wandering mind appeared, but this stocking idea! - Nope, not what I need for my must have projects, but who am I to stop my mind in mid stream creativity!
So, I sketched out the stocking freehand, sorry, I don't have a pattern ( if you have a small socking at home, just trace it, I wish I had one!!), and away I went! I punched the holes with a 1/16" punch, and stitched it with a needle & linen thread!
