Jesus is the Reason - Nuggets

Aren't these cute?  This was my first time using clear stamps.  I love them!!

I purchased this set from cleardollarstamps.com.  Lots of cute stamps there & great prices!!

I stamped the label stamp onto Avery Labels & then stamped the centers with other images included in the "Baby Jesus Nuggets" stamp set.  These were fun and super simple to make!

See below for the complete set of stamps and more ideas from CDS...

Snowman Pixy Stix

I made these snowmen & attached them to Giant Pixy Stix.  The girls want to pass them out to some of their friends.  I got the svg cut file HERE at MyScrapChick.com.  It was a Freebie Friday File.

Poinsettia Tags

I decorated some tags today!  I got the cut files from svgcuts.com.  The kit for the 3-D Poinesttia is HERE.  I love how they turned out!!

Bunco Ornaments

We had an ornament exchange at our Bunco Game Night.  Everyone brought 12 ornaments to exchange with each other.  These are the ones I brought... 

I designed the images on my computer then printed them on clear Ink Jetties from clearbags.com.  Used the Coluzzle to cut out the circles, then rolled 'em up and put them into the glass ornament.  It was fun!!

P.S. When I joined the group, they were already named "Hot Bunco Babes", I thought it would be cute to print it on the ornament.

You are no longer restricted to the exclusive use of the “cookie cutter” type stick figures seen on cars in your community.

40 Sucks Centerpieces

I was in charge of centerpieces for my brothers' (they are twins) 40th Birthday party.  I found the black cauldron's at Dollar Tree, and stuffed them with 40 "suckers", added vinyl "40 SUCKS" decals and topped them off with "Over the Hill" balloons.  They turned out cute.  I got lots of compliments on them.
