Wrapping up the 25 days of Christmas

I know I know I'm a little ( a lot) late with my posts so I'm gonna play catch up with this one and after this I'm gonna show and tell what I've been up to during the rest of my holiday OK so we left off with the candle, so here is the candle I made Pam

I rolled 4x4 sheets of paper around a dowel and glued them to patterned paper around the candle and tied a big tuell bow around it and for some reason it just wasn't enough so I got out the stickels and rubbed it all over the tuell to make it sparkle and I love the results stamped a Christmas saying and there it is Pam's candle 

next were the charms I really had a time making these because charms are not my for ta I have a problem with knowing what goes where but I did the best I can and here they  are

now the next gift was a wild card for Pam to make and for me it was Pam's birthday and this is what I got her I've had the pink one for a while and I love it so when I saw this one in Burgundy I just had to get it for Pam it had her name written all over it i just knew she would love it, and she did. And last but not least was Christmas day and here's what I got her

now last but not least was Christmas Day and here's what Pam got

its a Hodge podge of this I've been collecting for her since June, just a lot of scrappy things to add to her scrappy stash, and that will do it for Linda and Pam's 25 days of Christmas hope you enjoyed it and I hope you will come back next year to see what we will do then.

day 19

today was stamp day, Pam and I exchanged stamps here is the set I got for her

the tall set is by inkadinkado love the words (you know i brought myself one of each) the smaller set is by my minds eye its from the lost and found collection I really love this one that bird house is great I also stamped some imges from my collection of boaring stamps lol

love this fish bowl it has so many possabilities

and this bottle you can do so many things with it

these butterflies are from the martha stewart collection and you can work wonders with these with some markers and stickels, well thats it for today until our next gift opening

Noodles and Ashley's day

Today is the day Ashley and Noodles open their gifts and I was so exciated this is the first time I made anything for Noodles but I knew she was gonna like it

Loveing the transformers (like I do) I decided to make her a blanket, I started to make a pillow but I just couldnt get all the pictures in like I wanted so I made the blanket,

I tied all the ends together with the back side which is a light blue to match the front it was so much fun I hope she gets many years of warmth from it.

Altered book day

Today is Altered book day, Pam talked about it a said it was OK to alter any book instead of the large composition book like we did last year

and here it is and it turned out lovely if I must say so myself

this book is a good size I just covered with paper and let the creativity flow, and flow it did as you can see I love flowers I would put them on anything if I could, lol

the flowers really make the book the I was talking to Pam while I was working on the book and asked her for her name initials the PAT you see in the frame is just Pam's initials OK until our next gift opening signing off.   

Wild card day

Sorry about the late post but it was my birthday and all so this post is kinda late, wild card day is when ever its one of our birthday the other gets to make or buy whatever they want for the others birthday, and on my birthday I made pam a box, but not just any box, it started out like this,

just a regular old box I got from Michaels, it had a shinny finish so I had to strip the box completly down to get all that shinny paper off then I added a layer of gesso and a couple layers of paint

didnt like the way the paint looked so out came the paper and I started covering everything and i loved it once it was covered out came the bling and the flowers and everything just fell into place. (dont you just love it)

Now I just could'nt send Pam just a empty box I had to put something in it so I made her a few little note books to stick in her pocket book so when she needs to jot something down she can have it on hand and I love the idea because it used up a lot of scraps I had laying around, (you know I might make a few more for christmas gifts for the family)

the inside of some is like a junk journal just bits and pieces of patterned paper some stamps, rub-ons and other things I had laying around, some of the other books have just some large index cards cut in half and bound with my chinch (gotta love that chinch) ok thats it for this post next we open to from tags so I'll be right back.

Day one of the 12 days of christmas with Pam

Ok its here the day that you all have been waiting for, its the 12 (cut down from 25) days of Christmas with my friend Pam, so on day one if you read the post down below is going to be a smash book and I cant wait for her to get her box and open it, so since today is the first I will post a picture of the book I made her

AND HERE IT IS (TA DAAAA) I just love it that little teddy bear just stole my heart I tryed to take make the picture look really Christmassey (what do you think) the paper I used was various papers from various Christmas lines

I added envies large and small some I even made myself, I tryed not to add to many embellies so she could embellish the rest herself, I added some tabs so she could find the writting paper quickly when she wants to journal.

and you know me I had to add some bling here and there, I really hopes she likes it (I know I do) it was really fun and different to make here is a link to Pam's   place  http://poconopam.blogspot.com/ gone on over and check out her first day of the 12 days of Christmas (cut down from 25 lol)
