My Sizzix Warehouse Sale Haul

I've been waiting for a Sizzix Warehouse Sale for the longest time and was really excited when I saw the announcement on the Sizzix's website for this year's sale. I found a few items on my wishlist (yeah!) and grab a few other really good bargains. :) Here's my haul:

Bigz XL Dies

Tim Holtz Dies (of course!)

Originals and Bigz Dies
(I love the penguin so much. I don't know why,
but he makes me smile)

Texture Folders

I can't wait to play with all these goodies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Album: Christmas 2009

I love coffee and normally make mine's at home before heading to work. The other morning, I treated myself to a Peppermint Mocha with all the trimmings (whipped cream and dark chocolate curls) from Starbucks. Wow, I got more than caffeine from this cup of Java...I got into "Christmas" mode. yeah! My favorite time of the year! So with this, I decided to start making our Christmas 2009 album (I normally make my Christmas album after the holiday, but who knows, maybe this year it'll be different). Here's a few sneak peeks! I'm using American Craft's Merrymint collection. I've used this collection for a prior Christmas album, but they have so many different patterned papers that I hardly had any duplicates between the two albums.



Thanks for stopping by and have a great Veteran's Day!

Heidi Grace's Sweet Whimsey Paper Bag Album

Hi guys! Here's a few peeks at the Paper Bag Album using Heidi Grace's Sweet Whimsey collection. I've been struggling to finish this album because I'm not sure what I want it to look like yet. As you can see, the cover is unfinished. After giving myself two months to figure "it" out without any success, I'm going to walk away from this project and start a new project. :)
