Can you find me, Cupid?

I love to add just a tad bit more 'fun' in the normal work day. It has its limits, I still try to be 'creative'... since I think I am good at it.  Over Christmas, I make elves and hid them all over the office.  They ladies love it. The men shake their heads, but join in the fun.  At the end of the holiday, I make treats and bring in ...so everyone wins!

Today, its Cupids..

Of course I couldn't do this without Ellen Kempers original design - I manipulated mine with some of other punches available. They were fun and easy, so I made 8 of them.

So my hiding places are in the copier/ mail room, near the water cooler, coffee break room, ladies restroom, near doorways, and some offices -near the stapler or tape - its never the same - and just because you saw them their once doesn't mean they will be back there again in the afternoon... now does it...

Work time fun... someone has to do it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hug the ones you love!

Have a great day!

Hello... My name is FROSTY

Its beginning to look alot like...

OK ITS NOT .... but you know...

Its inevitable that it will arrive sooner than I want it to - since I am not a snow bunny of any sort. Sure I love to watch it fall... and snuggle in the house, with my coffee and loved ones, but then reality kicks in with hats, gloves, shovels and that once "pretty white powder" turns into ugly brown mush.. blah blah blah. I do consider myself lucky.. well up until last year when we had two major storms that landed us with snow that we had to measure in FEET - and that just caused me to lose it all around for my love of the white stuff!!!

Here is my little snowman (CASE from here) - looking up at the snow falling - imagine him twirling around in all the snowflakes, as they fall from the sky.. ..

I used circle punches (body, head), the owl punch (eyes, mouth), star punch (nose), snowflake punch (arms), some liquid applique (for puffy snow). I tore the white paper and sponged it with bashful blue ink. I popped his head up on a dimensional.

Thank you for stopping by!!!

Hop To It!

Many times people ask where you get your inspirations from.. and the list is honestly endless.

So when I got this Popcorn Factory magazine in the mail, and saw this, I immediately knew I had to try this out! I haven't gone back to make the sidekick, but maybe I will.

With all being said, here is my card:

Turquoise snowflake

Getting to post some of the treats that have been recently received is just too exciting! My daughter has been helpful in the craft cave lately, I guess its mother daughter time I should enjoy though I secretly cannot help that at 12 she isn't up to something! LOL..

We put together some goody treats for her friends. Of course, I get to take her idea and put it on paper for her to yah or nah -- then we work well to get it done. We had 12 bags to do. She worked on the bag while I gave her two suggestions for her cards. They were 3 1/2 square cards to go with the treats. With her "antsyness" we tend to remain in the punch world... and I liked this idea.. simple - easy and fast to mass produce.

These are the treat bags, though I was 'getting too involved' she slid down to the other table and made tags, tied the ribbons up- but I was like..

"WHOA!!!.. Whats the green tags doing with the turquoise snowflakes??"...

Her 12 yo answer was ... "because I can"..

Nuff said.

l... it wasn't until later I wanted to grab them and make other tags .. but that makes these more Colette ish. So I didn't... but wanted to every time I looked at them...

Now she better get back to the snowmen making.. ha ha .. kidding!

its begining to look alot like.. Christmas??

Its November, the time I say every year I will have my Christmas shopping done before Tthanksgiving. I cannot deal with the rude shoppers, thank goodness I get most of mine done online. However for those 'odd and ends' that force me to stores, I need to get it completed by then. THANKFULLY, I am on the home stretch! Of course their is a birthday that is coming up that I must shop for... but STILL!!!

I can relax alittle and get some Christmas cards done. I wish you could see the shiny glitter in this picture however, after 4 shots and it wasn't showing up... you will have to use your imagination to see it!

I have some cleaning up to do, and found pieces that I was able to use here. I like the Not so Navy with the silver and grey. Its the sentiment I had to work in that I am not 'crazy about'.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!!!
