Happy Thanksgiving Eve

Happy Thanksgiving Eve to all! Today I was out BRIGHT and EARLY delivering my Thanksgiving treat baskets to 19 of my SaddleBrooke friends. WOW....If you could have seen me sneaking around in the dark trying to get my task done......well.....Let's just say, I'm glad the SaddleBrooke Patrol wasn't anywhere in sight. They might have taken me in for questioning-FOR SURE! Let's start my baskets out with this A*D*O*R*A*B*L*E (and I do mean ADORABLE!) Turkey Pencil. These are the very same Turkey Pencils I made 170 of for my 7-grandkids classmates AND......I also taught my fellow SaddleBrooke Stampers to make at a recent Saturday Fun Shop.

Here's the Pumpkin Basket I made using my Big Shot Large Scallop Die and from my Cricut for the Leaves (A Garden of Words). As you can tell from this picture.........I haven't stuffed my treat bags with goodies yet.........I was working on getting everything together so I could start an assembly line to get all 19-baskets filled.

Here are all the goodies I pulled together to get my treat bags filled with a Thanksgiving Blessing Mix. My plan was to gather all the goodies and then start dumping things in the little plastic bag which was going inside the pumpkin basket.

And here's an overhead shot of all 19-pumpkin baskets just waiting to be stuffed.

And finally.........a close-up of the Thanksgiving blessing basket that I deliveried at 5am to my friends up here in SaddleBrooke. The one thing I forgot........was to take a picture of the completed blessing baskets. Hopefully, I will grab my camera later today and snap a picture of the one remaining basket I made for my studio.

Many blessings to you and your families as celebrate Thanksgiving 2010. I hope you are able to spend the day HANGIN and CHILLIN with those close to you. See you tomorrow when I'll share with you those people in my life that I'm Thankful for. Until tomorrow.......Keep Living Your Dream!

New Catalog Survival Kit

As a Stampin Up! demonstrator, I am always looking for FUN and CREATIVE ways to offer the new catalog to my customers when it's released in July. This year........I offered my customers a "New Catalog Survival Kit" when they purchased a new catalog from me. I call it......My New Catalog Survival Kit.

Here's a picture of the front and back of the gift that I make.

This is a close-up of the poem I have printed up for my customers.

And here are all the goodies that go inside the clear bag

And here is one final look at the New Catalog Survival Kit that goes out to my customers who order a new catalog.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you can swing back tomorrow for more Kards by Kadie creations. Until tomorrow........Keep Living Your Dream!

4th of July Box

HAPPY Saturday to you. Are you ready to have a relaxing and fun weekend? Whatever your plans are......I'm hoping that you can spend time with your family and still have time to squeeze crafting time in sometime today. Here's the box I created for Jack and several of my SaddleBrooke Stamping friends. I used the Big Shot Tag die from SU to create the box. I glued two tags together to form the box and I made a handle which I attached with a brad.

I added two different sized stars to the side of each handle.........and.....I added some thin stripes of red/white and blue paper to form colored crinkle filling.

Here's a closer look at the crinkle paper I added to inside of the box..... along with two pieces of chocolate just waiting to find it's new home in a 4th of July Box.

And one final picture of the star which I attached to the end of the handle. Thanks for stopping by.......enjoy the rest of your Saturday and stop back tomorrow when I'll be sharing some more Kards by Kadie creations. Keep Living Your Dream!

4th of July Kit Kat Bar

Here are the Kit Kat Bar holders I taught my fellow SaddleBrooke Stamper friends back in July. The holders are super easy and FUN FUN FUN to make. You take a piece of white paper and wrap it around your Kit Kat bar......Add three stripes of red cardstock........Add a 1" square punch (in blue) to the upper left hand corner. Add a white star with glitter on it and call it a day. SUPER EASY and SUPE CUTE!

A close-up shot of the glittered star........

And a view of the completed kit kat holder with extra kit kat bars to eat.

Please stop back tomorrow and I'll be sharing the 4th of July box I created for Jack......Until tomorrow....Keep Living Your Dream.

4th of July Mailbox

While I was cleaning out the corner cabinet in my studio.....I came across these darlin little hersey nugget mailboxes and couldn't remember if I had shared them with you. This adorable mailbox came from SU demo Tammy White at http://stampwithtami.com/

You stack two hersey nuggets on top of each other and wrap decorative paper around the nuggets. You add a flag to the side and you have the cutest 4th of July mailbox.

Here's a close up of the back side of the mailboxes.........

And.....a close-up of the flags. I punched out two stars and added those to the center of the flag....and then to GLAM things up a bit........I added stickles and glitter to the punched out stars.

Tomorrow I'll be sharing another 4th of July creations........Keep Living Your Dream!
