Christmas Holiday Cheer Shaker Ornaments/Tags using CTMH Holiday Cheer Kit

Hello Friends!  I hope all of you are staying warm, for those of you having really cold weather.  We are still having a heat wave in Southern CA.  It is crazy weather, right?  

I finally found time to create with these adorable CTMH Holiday Cheer Shaker ornaments/tags.  I really love the variety of ornaments/tags that this kit has.  I have created just 5 so far; but wanted to share them, before sending them to my daughter and her family for their Christmas tree.  They are made with chipboard; so they are very sturdy.  They are so sweet and perfect for anyone, at this time of the year.

I forgot to add the sequins to my Snowman; and was unable to pull it apart once it was stuck down; so I decided to just finish it and keep it as it was.  LOL!  It is still cute without the sequins.  There is also a stamp for the reverse side; that says To: and From:.  So, you can use them as a tag or an ornament. 

These are the first 5 I have created with this kit.  The photo is a little hazy; because of the light.  I tried it several times; but it still didn't look any different. See link below for more information. 



Special through end of November or while supplies last
Here is a sample of several others that you can create with this kit.

Life is tough - Masculine Card

Hello Friends!   I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm.  Although, some of us are staying too warm.  The weather is so crazy in US right now with cold freezing weather and snow on the East coast and hot weather on the West coast.  

I created a one layer card for a friend of mine who is going through a really rough time.  I would appreciate prayers for Jason, for those of you who are willing to pray for him.  He really needs all the prayers and support he can get right now.  At times like this, I feel so helpless.  It is hard to be in a situation where you cannot help a friend; but I always turn to prayer when that happens.

I would also like to ask for prayers for my 15 yr. old grandson, Jayden.  He is a really good kid; but was living in an apartment where there were a lot of rough kids and he got into some trouble.  He is the only boy they are going after for something he was bullied into doing. 

He has to go to court sometime in the next month or two; and was required to have an attorney; so that doesn't sound too good.  He lives in FL and they are very tough on everyone in that state.  He needs to learn to make better decisions going forward.  He has been a diabetic since 4 yrs. old and has always had trouble fitting in at school.  He is bullied and made fun of all the time.  I am not making excuses for him; but it explains his behavior of following the leader and wanting to be part of a group.

Here is the card I created.  I watched a video from Jackie Bolhuis; which is where I got the idea.  Here is the link to her video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMEryedtKTE&feature=youtu.be.

Christmas Card Using Conie Fong "Snowy With Poinsettia" with CTMH Holly Jolly Paper

Hello Friends!  I have been trying to get a head start on my Christmas cards.  I usually have more made by now; but this year I have been a little slow.  Once Conie Fong started creating new adorable Christmas images; I felt like getting busy with them.  LOL!

I used Conie Fong "Snowy with Poinsettia" for this cute card.  It was so much fun to color and to create.  Love her sweet images and they can be colored to match any of the papers that you currently have.  I love this new blue shade with the white snowflakes; which is part of our CTMH Holly Jolly Paper Pack.  I like blues with pinks for Christmas.
