Paint Cans!!

I am so proud of myself! I finished the paint cans I had been working on. Aren't they cute! The paper pieced snowmen are my favorite. I used a template someone on the CTMH bulitin boards shared with me. I would be willing to share it with whoever wants it.

Finally decided...

So I think I finally made a decision regarding cards for my stamp a stack... I will be doing these two new ones I am adding in a few plus the frosty one and the snowflake one with the 3 layers of paper. I was going to showcase the technique I used for the other snowflake one but I don think a stamp a stack where time is of the essence is the place for embossing and sponging. Maybe another day.
Each card uses a different stamp set and just two sets of paper. And maybe I will even rid myself of all the cranberry ribbon I bought. LOL 36 yards is a bit much.
Hopefully tomorrow I will finish up the other projects I have been working on. I think they are the cutest things ever and I know you will probably agree and beg me for the pattern. I will try to post those pics tomorrow. I have so much to do tomorrow my mind is going crazy just trying to think of it all. All of my craziness with a broken foot too :) Thank goodness for walking boots is all I can say. Now if only I could drive......

Here is another card I might use for my stamp a stack. Good to have lots of options. Although I am thinking of changing all the the green to cranberry because I have more of it. Gosh I wish I could absolutely like more cards I make. Maybe I am just picky. Maybe I need some outside option.... Anyone Anyone? :)

Hmmm whether or not to use this one....

This isn't my favorite card but it is an option for next weekends stamp a stack. I am going to see what else I can come up with before commiting to the 4 cards I have done so far. I was thinking of doing a photo card for it but it would be rather time consuming and probably cost a decent amount. I might save it for the gift making class.
