Also, I have a free subscription winner to announce at the end of this post, so stay tuned for that. It has been an honor to create with Jacque Craig this month and the team of awesome designers. The projects were fantastic, as always! 

The last project of the month, and an adorable one at that, was designed by Heather:

This Magnetic Christmas Countdown Calendar is the perfect way to help celebrate and countdown to the upcoming holiday!  It’s created on a metal sheet so you can store the magnetic pieces on the back as you count down. For step-by-step instructions for Heather's fun project and 9 others, just hop over to CPC and subscribe to October. It's only $10 for 10 projects! 

And the October BONUS Project was designed by: ME!  

This is a fun project to put you in the holiday spirit!  Included in this project are instructions for four different Christmas cards using the Christmas Lodge stamp set and the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper.  The project also features instructions for a folder to package the set in for gift giving. This set makes a great gift for someone special this holiday season (teachers, co-workers, neighbors, etc.) and is also perfect for clubs and classes! I hope you like it! :)

My Project is Posted at Craft Project Central!!

Hello there! Hope you had a great week out there. I am super excited to share that MY project for July is now posted over at Craft Project Central! I just love the new Pennant Parade stamp set and Just Add Cake DSP from the new Stampin' Up! catalog. I don't know about you, but way too often, I seem to only use a couple of patterns in a pack of DSP and the rest are neglected. My focus for this project was to use the same stamp set and DSP to create cards for numerous occasions...all wrapped up in a fun gift box! 


Included with this project are instructions for a thank you card, a Christmas card, a baby card, and a birthday card.  All using the great patterns and colors in the Just Add Cake DSP.  Perfect as a gift or to just have on hand for upcoming occasions!  This set of cards (and co-ordinating gift box) are a fabulous class or club project, as well!

To get the details for my project, just head on over to Craft Project Central and SUBSCRIBE to July. You will get my project and 9 others for only $10! That's $1 a project and is a fabulous deal! :) 


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day today!
