Merry Christmas 2013 and Happy 2014

Well it's almost that time...for some, it's already started! I am working my day job today at the gym and then have the next 3 days off...and then back to work the weekend,  I don't like using my paid vacation when others say I need to, so I'd rather work and take the time when I really want it :) Saying that...I have a stack of cards in the making that I'll need to finish tomorrow.

I just wanted to give you another quick update on a couple of things I've made as well as some news!
First...do you like my Merry Christmas Picture above? It was made on the SIMPLY SENT APP! It's a free app you can download today and create some fun pics!  Click here to check it out!

Here are a couple more I made just playing around one night :

Try it out today! 

Next...one of the head hanchos of Stampin' Up! South Pacific created these ornaments from twine and PVA glue and a friend of mine said...can you show me how to make them...and so we gave it a go and they turned out great! Very simple! 

 Vegan Gingerbread cookies stamped with one of our cookie stamps

 Packaged with last holiday's packaging I had left to take to work

This stamp set is my favourite holiday one that they've had...so It's discontinued, but I had fun with it.  I stamped the image in black and then used my blender pen and stamp pads to water colour the images to give them depth.  The googly eyes were a discontinued halloween item from last year and the red nose was Real red marker with Crystal Effects over :) For the snowmen and the elves I also used a little Dazzling Details.

***Update!  It's the 9th of January and I still haven't finished this post!!!!  Good Lord!  It's because you can only do and see so much via the iPad and iPhone...so I'm on my laptop...which I'm only on to do this it seems.  Funny how far technology has come. :)

I hope you all had an amazing holiday season!  Now for a inky and creative 2014!!!!!  Let's get Stampin!
