Holiday Mani!

I really like these nail polish strips from Sally Hansen. They are so shiny and Christmasy and typically last over a week! I love painted fingernails, but hate how they only last a day. I'd love to try a gel manicure, but I'm nit ready to take the plunge. They look wicked hard to take off and I'm afraid of damage to my nails. This is a happy medium. They remove easily as well with acetone polish remover.

Gift Tags for Christmas

I got a but carried away with Christmas gift tag-making. Joy and I found it rather addictive. I got started with a crafty day with my girlfriend, then just kept going!


Here are my cricut cuts which I am entering into the challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2:

Winter Woodland, Plantin Schoolbook, and Tags, Bags, Bodes, and More were the various cartridges used. I was so pleased with the look of the vellum on the tags from WW. I embossed some with the cuttlebug as well.


Here's the embossed vellum:


I used a Scrappy Moms stamp on this one (and it's actually a card, too):


Another WW:


TBBM and I stamped and embossed on the vellum:


If you are feeling crafty, tags are sure to be satisfying--if not a bit addictive! :)

A cute way to mend!

Saw this adorable idea on Pinterest from pinlavie.com & how funny is it that I was a little excited to find a pair of Joy's jeans that were ripped on the knees?
