Lytle Scrapper

Christmas Countdown Tree

Where has this year gone?! Can you believe there's only 38 days until Christmas? I'm so excited! Christmas is my favorite time of the year! It's also the time of the year where every weekend is booked... sadly, I'll blink and it will all be over... but in the meantime, despite the yuckiness at work, I will enjoy working on all the many projects that make Christmas so much fun... Secret Santas, cookies with recipe cards to go with them, Christmas cards, home decor pieces... I just hope I can get to it all! So here is my latest project to help me keep track of the days 'til Christmas...

Join me this Sunday, November 23rd at The Scrapbook Garden from 12:30 to 3:30. We will be making this cute LYTLE tree by Kaiser Craft using Cosmo Cricket's Oh Joy line of papers loaded with cute ribbon, flowers, and embellishments. You'll learn tips and techniques in distressing and decoupage. In addition, we will make this neat treat box to house our countdown tags in. Space is limited so call the store at (714) 841-1801 or stop by the store and see the sample for yourself. As usual, there will be some goodies to win as well as some goodies to eat. Hope to see you there!

Stamp Show

Come visit me at the Stampscapes booth at the Original Rubber Stamp Convention this weekend, Nov. 8-9th in Carson, CA. Come and see all the great things you can do with Stampscapes including cards, ATC's, inchies, ornaments, etc. Here's a page I made using stampbord and stamps from Stampscapes...

And here are a few pieces that Kevin Nakagawa designed... this first one was stamped on glossy cardstock and has Christmas card written all over it...

This is a collection of mini-bords which are small versions of stampbord. They come in a various sizes ranging from 1x1 for you inchie lovers to 2.5x3.5 for you ATC lovers to 4x6 and every other size in between...

Stampbord also comes in circles and ovals, perfect for Christmas ornaments... just punch a hole at the top with your Crop-A-Dile and add ribbon...

So stop on by and say hi and while you're there sit down and do a free make and take or two! By the way, did I mention that Stamper's Anonymous and Tim Holtz will be at the show too? Hope to see you there!

Winner...

And the winner of the great Halloween prize pack is ...

We've had really good luck with the Canon Power Shot series. I don't remember the exact model numbers but both of my kids have a different model and they use them ALL the time. They've never had a problem and the pictures look fantastic.
