I'm entering this in the "Less is More" A Bit of Bling challenge(http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/)

Here's what I made for Christmas presents this year.  I got a 2012 calendar made with all our birthdays and anniversaries on it along with a cork trivet I made using wine corks !  I had made some of the square ones one year; and now I'm getting requests for a larger one that would fit a 9x13 so...I made some!  The 9x13 does take alot more corks !

Katie had an awsome Stampin Up party at Monica's today.  And now that I know you guys read my blog; we had a blast didn't we !  Thanks Katie and Monica ! Here are the cute things we made:  Can you imagine your Christmas tree decorated with these cute stockings?

Ok...so my nephew is turning 21 on Monday.  We are going to Las Vegas this weekend to celebrate !!  How fun is that going to be?!!I decided to try and make a champagne bottle as his card.  I got the template from Mirkwood Designs (http://mirkwooddesigns.blogspot.com/)Not too bad if I say so myself !  heeheeHappy 21st Birthday Derek!!

Just finished the last 30 thank you cards for all the retirement gifts I received.I really like this border punch from Martha Stewart and the 3 layer punch from Stampin Up, they go really good togetherThe stamp Merci is from Scrappy Moms clear stampsThis is a good way to use up some of the paper scraps I have!

Sent my daughter some goodies and made this quick card.  This is the first time I used this cute border punch from Martha Stewart and after I did this one, I discovered I wasn't pushing the punch all the way down, thats why I have the end pieces on this one .. oops!and I also used the Stampin Up 3 layer punch and put a little bling in the flower
