Christmas Season has begun

Its hard to believe its December 1.  Daniel and I heard the 12 Days of Christmas by Bob and Doug MacKenzie on the radio this morning so I can say that the season is officially upon us.    LOL  

And here I am not having my Christmas shopping done!!!   Yikes.   This is an off year for me big time.   Time to buckle down and focus!!!   

I would like to share this simple card that I made.  Quick, easy, and still has a wow factor.

Supplies that I used are as follows :

Cardstock:  Whisper White and Soft Sky (unfortunately the camera wasn't able to pick up the beautiful soft blue color of this cardstock)

Stamp Set:  Cheerful Christmas from the Holiday Catalogue

Ink Pad:  Cherry Cobbler (my favourite)

Emobssing Folder:  Filigree Frame from the Holiday Catalogue

Embellishments:  Frosted Sequins (again the Holiday Catalogue)  and Dazzling Details in Cherry Cobbler


I hope your month of December is off to a very good start.  And unlike me, you have your shopping completed.  LOL

Thanks for stopping and visiting my corner of the blogging world.   Until next time.

A Washi Kind of Christmas

Hello again.  It has been a busy time here in the Jenkins household.  I was away working my up line's Moonlight and Mistletoe retreat in Niagara falls the end of October. We are starting to plan for next year's retreat and I am having a more active role in planning Moonlight and Mistletoe 2014, so exciting.    We found a place for my mother and moved her out of the hospital (over a year in the hospital, that has to be some kind of record) the first weekend of November and things are starting to settle into a rhythm for her with a nurse coming by twice a day for her IV, another nurse for wound care of her abdominal area and of course Red Cross Support Workers coming by a few times a day to make sure she is eating (which in our family is not an issue, lol), and to help with personal care and light housework.  Our oldest Laura, has impacted wisdom teeth and she had her appointment with the oral surgeon a few weeks ago as well and her surgery is scheduled for December 23, so lots of mashed potatoes and gravy with a side of pain killers for her Christmas eve and day.  Unfortunately we will not be having our traditional Christmas Eve dinner of Peking Duck and Nasi Goreng (Indonesian rice dish), which is Laura's favourite meal, rice and holes where her wisdom teeth use to be will not be a good combination.  I am going to have to get creative and think of something else for Christmas eve that everybody will like. 

And speaking of Christmas, it is coming up fast and you are probably planning your Christmas card list.  I am sure you are finding that everywhere you look Washi tape is being used in all kind of papercrafting and home decor projects.    For this time of year I am offering  a Washi Tape Christmas Card class.  In this class you will make four different cards using Washi tape.   Get a feel of how versatile and easy this product is to use in your various projects.
