Snowflakes!

Well, the Wiemann Family survived Christmas 2008! Here is a picture of the boys waiting on the stairs Christmas morning! Aren't their matching PJ's cute? It's a tradition that I refuse to give up! I'm sure as they get older they will hate it more and more but for now, I'm going with it!

We didn't have any snow for Christmas this year but I had to play with snowflakes! Here is the card that I designed for my Thank You notes!

My plan was to come up with something that used the felt flurries that I had meant to use for my Christmas Cards! I also realized that I was totally out of adhesive so that really limited me! But, I think they turned out really cute! I used the snowflake embossing folder, real red ribbon and ink, felt flurries, and the Thank You sentiment from the Enjoy Every Moment Stamp Set!

Our Gingerbread House

Every year the boys want to make a Gingerbread House and every year it is a total disaster! It always starts with candy EVERYWHERE and screaming children! Luckily this year Erich kept the youngest entertained while the big boys and I attempted to make a "house". Well, as you can tell it's definitly not up to code! We had several screams of "the roof is falling"! I managed to get it stuck on there with enough icing to ice 12 wedding cakes! By the end of our attempt the boys were just throwing candy wherever it would stick!
I know many of you can relate to this "holiday task" so I thought I would share pictures of our Gingerbread Adventure! Enjoy!

Buhl is a Rockstar!

I "heart" Jonnelle Buhl! She is so darn smart! She sent me an email the other day with a tip for using Glue Dots. I have TONS of glue dots and I never, ever, ever use them. Who am I kidding, I have tons of stuff that I never use! Anyways, back to the glue dots...here is her tip...

Use your glue dots to make glitter polka dots:

Tear off however many glue dots you want, lay them down where you want them, rub the strip, remove paper, sprinkle with glitter. Need more glitter dots closer together? Before applying glitter, simply tear another strip, lay them down so they're alternating in the empty centers of previous row, add glitter to the whole bunch of them!

So, I'm totally burnt out on Christmas Cards but felt like playing today while my sick 6 year old napped, the 4 year old was busy watching some stupid show on Disney and the 2 year old was also napping. Here is what I came up with using the "Buhl Technique". Isn't it cool? The picture isn't the best but it's getting dark here and I couldn't get a good shot. I guess I could have waited till tomorrow but I was so darn excited that I just didn't want to!

Have a great day!!

Happy December!

I am one of those people that has a hard time doing *anything* Christmas-ish until after Thanksgiving is over! Unfortunatly that doesn't leave me with a whole lot of time! Procrastination is my specialty! Hence why I have done virtually no Christmas shopping or decorating!
However, I DID create this card yesterday! I finally got my order with my Felt Flurries and just had to play! I also always forget about my Silver Hodgepodge Hardware so it was fun to get that out too! Here are the detals:

Cardstock: Real Red
DSP: Ski Slope
Stamps: Best Yet (hostess set)
Accessories: Felt Flurries, Hodgepodge Hardware

Hope you like it!

I'll post a few more creations tomorrow!
