BOTTLE CAP Ornaments!!!

Hello again! I'm back to share with you some ornaments that I created this week! 

Claudia and Company has these Maya Road Bottle Caps! 

They come in three different sizes: 2, 3, and 4 inches! 

There are so many creative ideas to do with these - magnets, ornaments, picture frames, note pads, calendars, etc!!! 

I decided to make mine into ornaments! 

In my house, you can never ever have too many ornaments on our huge tree ;)  

Here is a 'before' pic of me putting things together! 

These bottle caps are SO durable and sturdy - such good quality! and how do I know that??? LOL, come on! You all know how clumsy I can be with things - I must have dropped these about a billion times! and not one ding or dent happened! Yay! 

Of course, I just had to add pics of my boys! 

And yes, these are summer pics, but I just loved their poses and sweetness, I had to use them :) 

Do you see that I finally used my Stickles and Liquid Pearls here too?

My pearls look like Hershey-squirts! and my stickles completely flattened out! LOL! 

I guess I need to practice more ;)  but I love how it all turned out!!! 

For my next two I just had to use some of my favorite Holiday stamps!
The Shepherd Boy is another one of The Greeting Farm's retired stamp sets! I am SO happy that I bought this one when it came out, he is truly one of the cutest ones I have :)

The next stamp is also from The Greeting Farm that was just recently released, Holiday Anya... 

and look! More Stickles and Liquid Pearls, hee hee!!! 

Bottle Caps!!! 

What would you create with them???

AND!!! For a limited time ONLY!!! 

Maya Road is offering a FREE Holiday printout with every Bottle Cap purchase!!!

How cool is that?! 

You can see more details on the Claudia and Company Blog today!!! 

Thanks for stopping by again!
I truly do appreciate all of you that follow and comment regularly :)

PS.... I am tryyyying to do My December Daily for 2011, too!!! 

I am a newbie and am totally unsure as to what I am doing with it, lol! 

I only took ONE pic yesterday, bummer! and here it is! 

My sister helped me out by creating a super cool book for me to finish up and add my pics and journaling too! I hope to keep up! Especially since I never get to finish anything for myself or for my own family, eeek! This will definitely be a nice present for my boys and hubs on New Years Day :) 

How are you doing your December Daily's?!?! 

Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!! 

Thank you!!! 

Envelope ON the Card!?

Happy, happy, happy Friday :)

This week flew by faster than last week! Wow! I don't mind so much since everyone seems to finally be feeling well and we're all finally getting close to being on schedule again! Even though lil guy woke up with a runny nose again {crossing fingers} that thats all it will be ;)

It's time for another fun-filled challenge at The Greeting Farm!!!

This week, Farmer Kim had a wonderful idea!!! 

Incorporate an envelope onto our card by using a pocket or envelope template, decorating an envelope or anything goes as long as there is some sort of an envelope to it ;) 

What a tricky but very fun challenge!

I decided to finally use one of these beautiful Kraft-scalloped envelopes by Maya Road that I've been hording onto, break open my new TE October Ingredients Kit and color up the adorable 

Beto with Flowers Digital Image...

and here's what I came up with...

Here's a pic with the envelope open...

it's big enough to hold a gift certificate, money or a lil love note ;)

OH! and the stamped flower on the evenlope should look familiar to all you die-hard TGF fans out there ;) That's the one that you can find in their awesome "Sunshine Kit"!!!
