Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I was really pleased with the way my Christmas cards turned out and wanted to share them with you. I stamped the bough image from the Peaceful Wishes stamp set and then went over them with my glitter gel pen. I got the beautiful ornament embellishments from the Michaels dollar bin (assortment of 5 in a package). Then I stamped the Be Merry image and mounted them on cardstock. Quick, easy, and beautiful! Just my kind of card!

I love this idea! You make fudge and then cut it out with cookie cutters! How simple is that? I got a big container of assorted cookie cutters at Wal-mart (I like the metal ones) and then just packaged them in the Stampin' Up medium clear bags and tied with ribbon. Quick, simple, and cute! My kind of project! Here is the fudge recipe I used:

Ingredients:
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Warm over lowest possible heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in nuts and vanilla extract. Spread evenly into baking pan lined with foil. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Lift from pan, press cookie cutters into fudge, remove excess fudge, lift from foil (similiar to when you do sugar cookies). Clean fudge away from sides of cookie cutters. Package as desired. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.

I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me.

Could it be cardstock or inkpads or lace?

Or some stamps, I said, with a smile on my face.

And that's when I heard him! "Hi Santa" I said. He replied,

"You know, good girls should be in their beds".

"I know I should Santa, and now I've been caught.

But I was just so excited to see what you brought."

"Well, let's take a look in this room where you work..."

Then he shook his head quickly, and left with a jerk.

I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear.

"You've got enough crap, I'll see you next year!"

Merry Christmas!

And remember...we never have enough "crap"!

Thank you for your business this year!
