Sick but Crafting

Yesterday was one of those days where you just don't want to get out of bed.  I had been up all night with a terrible stomach ache and a sore throat.  I just wanted to curl up in my sweats and stay inside all day long and that is just what I did :) Luckily for me, my time was spent creating a few cards and tags to share with all of you today :)


Since I never am really able to find the time each year to create a gingerbread house of my own. I thought I would be able to create one in card form. I glittered the house all up with fine glitter from "Stampendous" and some white "Flower Soft." The stamps are from "October Afternoon" and my good old trusty lacy border punch is from "Martha Stewart."  


The last project I have to share is cute old "Holiday Owl" tag.  I decided that I wanted to take a supply from my stash that wasn't traditionally a christmas item and turn it into a holiday project.  I jazzed my little owl from "Hero Arts" up by stamping him on christmas pattern paper from "Echo Park" and perching him up on a jolly old candy cane. 

I just wanted to thank you all for the kind comments that you have been sharing with me. I cherish every single one :) 

Have a great weekend
