Here is the Christmas card I printed using My Digital Studio! I am absolutely loving My Digital Studio and all the neat and cool things you can make with it! I just need an extra ten hours a day to play with it - it's my new favorite toy!

Christmas Card Workshop Fun!
This past weekend was my Christmas Card Workshop - the BIG DADDY-O of all events that I have each year - and this year's Christmas Card Workshop was so much fun! It was a Friday through Sunday event and we made a little over 1,500 Christmas cards! We listen to Christmas music, sample each other's Christmas goodies, drink egg nog and Poinsettias, and have a blast! I asked for permission to post some of the gals' pictures on my blog - and they said SURE! I even got a picture of Kevin using the Big Shot - and he's the one who brought the adorable Santa cookies! We always look forward to seeing what Kevin is going to bring to the Christmas Card Workshop each year - and he didn't let us down!

Santa's Workshop Item!
I'm offering my customers a Santa's Workshop on December 11th and 12th - open-house style! Just preview the items below, let me know which items you'd like to make, and how many of each item you'd like to make, and I'll have the supplies and paper all cut and ready for you! All you have to do is come and enjoy the day making the items you've selected for the special people on your Christmas gift list! We'll be busy, busy, busy, but won't it be fun!!
This cute little money holder is a great stocking stuffer! The Bermuda Bay card stock with the Real Red Polka Dot Ribbon is such a nice color combo - and with glitter all around Rudolph, there's also lots of BLING! The biggest BLING, though, is to open it up and find MONEY inside! I'd love to find this with a $50 bill inside under my tree!!

Santa's Workshop Item!
I'll walk you through the steps of how to do this! 1) Using the Vintage Ornaments 1 stencil and a sponge dauber, fill in the stencil with Chocolate Chip Craft ink (or Real Red Craft ink) and then bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes. 2) Once the tile has cooled, use the flourish stencil from Vintage Ornaments 1 and a sponge dauber to fill in the flourish with Very Vanilla Craft Ink. Then bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes. I have found that being very conservative with the ink makes a big difference. You can always add more ink, but once you've used too much, it's a big mess! 3) Once the tile has cooled, place the first Vintage Ornaments 1 stencil back into place, which leaves the Chocolate Chip Craft ink (or Real Red Craft ink) exposed. Touch all over the exposed area with a Versamark pad. This gets the ornament sticky with ink! Then pour Glassy Glaze Enamel Embossing Powder on it and the powder will stick to the Versamark ink. Bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes! 4) Once the tile has cooled, you can embellish as desired! All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!

Christmas Lunchbag Scrapbook!
I've been making SO MANY Christmas items lately in anticipation of the Santa's Workshop I'll be offering in December! Here's an item I love! While it's not one of the items I'll be featuring at my Santa's Workshop, I still wanted to share it because I think it's so darn cute! It's just a standard lunchbag - and all lunchbags vary in size, so I can't really give you the recipe! You'll just have to grab a bag and measure it to determine the size of your little inserts that fit into the openings! Once I folded the bag in half, I cut a tad off the closed side (the bottom of the bag) to create an opening. Then I placed two inserts in each opening, allowing lots of space for Christmas photos or keepsakes! Isn't it just the cutest thing you've ever seen? And it's so easy to make! Many of you will remember years ago the bigger lunchbag scrapbook I made that I keep under lock and key so it won't get damaged! I'll place that scrapbook on my blog soon 'cause it's a goody! GO MAKE MERRY!

Chrystyna Bryndzia's Home Workshop!
Here is one of the cards we made at Chrystyna's home workshop - and it's a marquee card! When you open it, the little curtains inside the circle move to the side to reveal a surprise underneath! What may not show up in the photo is that the Real Red card stock and the Kraft card stock were wheeled with the Sassy Sparkles wheel. The Christmas tree is all sparkly with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter!

Forget-Me-Not Camp Wannastamp!
This project was so much fun! For the Forget-Me-Not Camp Wannastamp, we made 12 birthday cards using the Happy B-Day Simply Scrappin' Kit and then embellished one of the Forget-Me-Not Card Keepers! The 12 cards are reflected above, as well as the keeper! What a sweet handmade Christmas gift for someone, if you can bear to part with it! I think I'll just keep mine! I got this wonderful idea from my friend Julie Kasper from Chicago! I changed her cards slightly by adding brads and adding designer paper to the tabs on the dividers. Thanks, Julie! I had fun with this! All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!
