~25 Day Until Christmas Cookie Sheet Project!~

Good morning and happy Sunday my friends, 

All week this last week Viva Las VegaStamps has used their

December Daily Plate 1430 to host a giveaway (each day) and 

inspiration project each day, this one is mine! :) 

I used RED ink and the December Daily Plate to create this

countdown to Christmas Magnetic Cookie Sheet. 

Funny story, I actually bought one of these kits about 4 years ago

well...maybe 3, I don't know. But I bought it at Treasured Scrapbooking.

I was not a fan of the actual kit but I wanted the magnets and cookie

sheet so I could create my own. 

The shop has long since shut down and the cookie sheet and magnets sat 

in my room for years, until they asked me to do a December Daily project!

I knew everyone would make these amazing vintage artsy creations

so I decided to make a more bright crazy style with a pop feel to it

just for fun! I painted the cookie sheet with "Almond" paint. 

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out what felt like 100 circles! LOL

It was actually only like 36 (I needed extra just in case).

I used Jillibean Soup papers, Then I hand embellished each one

by stamping the numbers in RED, then hand cutting them out and 

popping them up on the circle and adding Pink Paislee

dite cut embellishments. It took 1 pack of Pink Paislee die cuts, and

2 sheets of Jillibean Soup paper for the entire project. 

And about 6 hours to make because I kept leaving and coming back to it. 

After I finished each circle I added a magnet to the back. 

(That tore my  nails to bits! Peeling off the sticker paper on those)

And I added some tulle and the title on the bottom using

the same alphabet stickers from the Jillibean soup papers. 

It was a fun project to create and I gave it to a friend. :)

Anyways don't forget to ENTER to win a plate for yourself!!

And see other beautiful projects- they are so amazing~

~How excited am I?!! It is a new day and a fresh start!~

Hey all you beautiful bloggers/crafters!
Pinky is IN DA' HOUSE! hehe

I am offically MOVED and having a ball unpacking...

ok ok not really a ball per say LOL but I am muddling through ok.
We have an amazing Thanksgiving with a total of 13 people here.
Everyone was gracious and kind about the food, and it was so relaxed and fun!
Here are me and my girlyfriends on the front porch before they all
left with their children. It was a great day!I never realized just how much my life would change for the better
moving away from Oregon. The peace and relaxation of the holidays
is 100% worth it. I know it has been a rough move and a trying 2.5 years
but the reward is finally showing.
No worries about running into anyone who might hurt me,
no worries about the stress of drama and pain or facing my past
every single year, just me and those whom I love.

OK on to fun Scrappy news!

"Lunch" with my Kindergartner, then stayed for my Second Grader.
It was fun and they were thrilled I was there, I love being a mom!

I also had a little scrappy time, I made this card lastnight
It's a Thank You Card for my in laws.
I love Stickles! This card has the copper color Stickles...my new favorite!
