I got the idea for this (again) from Pinterest. These are going for up to $30.00 on line.
I'm giving this to my daughter-in-law for Christmas, she is Italian and, of coarse, loves wine. Her brother wants to open his own winery when he finishes college next year.
I got the leaves and bottle from Dollar Tree and the mini glass pebbles from Michaels (1/2 off coupon woohoo!) and I used Beacons 527 glue to glue them
on and I put a string of mini LED Christmas lights on the inside that I already had from Winter Lane/HSN.

Hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along!

I saw this nativity scene on Pinterest and just had to try it, I just love it! The nativity dies are from Anna Griffin, and the star die and swirl stamp are from Stampin' Up that I borrowed from my friend and she ended up just giving them to me! I was shocked and pleasantly pleased. For some reason I fell in love with the wispy, starry, swirly stamp and have a lot of ideas for more of these cards as well. So many cards to make, so little time!!

And that's what I have for today.
See ya next time!
Blessings!

Ornaments!

Hey blogger buddies!

I've got an ornament card to share today.

These ornaments dies are from Stampin' Up that I borrowed from a friend and the boughs are from, I think, Crafter's Companion. Could be Tim Holtz.
I have a lot of different ornaments dies and ideas that I will be making cards with so this is just the beginning of a few ornament cards.
You can see better in the close up below, but there are small gem stones on the ornaments too.

                     
That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along, you're awesome!
Blessings!
