Bags-Bags-and more Bags

Happy Hellos All:

It's good to know you made it over your hump day with all that shopping and wrapping of presents you have had to do. For me, today is much like the past few days--that is, lots to do and a limited time to complete the mission. I have a couple of things to check off my list between now and Saturday. I'm not sure whether I'll accomplish them all, but I'm trying my best to. So, lets jump right into The Peddler's Gallery Parade of Paper Creations. Today's creation centers around another holiday inspired handbag.

Take a look. I hope you like it. I know I had a wonderful time watching it all come together. As always, thanks for visiting The Peddler's Gallery and be sure to come back real soon.

I don't know about you, but this is one of my favorite handbags. I decided to enter this handbag in both the ColourQ and The Play Date Cafe challenges.

Well, thanks for visiting the gallery and be sure to return tomorrow as the parade of paper creations continues.

Jingle Bells

Happy Hellos Everyone!!!

I hope your work week kicked-off to a fantastic start. Each passing day is a gentle reminder that the holidays are upon us and the new year is just around the bend. Not only that, in approximately four days, I will be the mother of a teenager. Not only is that hard to believe, it brings a comforting smile to my face. So much happens during the month of December in my little world--as I'm sure it does in yours.

The Peddler's Gallery Parade of Paper Creations continues here at the gallery. I just cannot seem to get away from BoBunny's Snowfall line. Are you having this problem too.

One Week & Counting

Happy Hellos Everyone:

Can you believe it? We're one week away from Christmas Day and I am only half way through making my Christmas cards. Now, as I mentioned previously, I normally send approximately 80 cards. I have about that many on hand. The only problem is, I do not have 80 of the same card. In between making holiday cards and invitations for other people, my cards have been put aside. So, it's official my Christmas cards have become my new year's cards. With that being said, I am no longer behind. I just need to get them in the mail by Christmas Eve.

Now, on with today's Parade of Paper Creations... Today's card puts me in mind not so much of an old Christmas, but a familar Christmas. The colors are traditional; however, the red and green are acccompanied with brown. For whatever reason, I think it works out rather well.

I just love both sentiments. They're from PennyBlack.

Well, I hope you like what you've seen thus far.

Perhaps you'll return tomorrow to view another creation here at the Gallery.

Until next time, peace & blessings to you and yours.

S'mores Kits

Happy Hellos Everyone:

This will be a truely brief posting. I just want to share my s'more kits with you. I thought these would be terrific stocking stuffers.

 

Thanks for stopping by The Peddler's Galley.

T'is the Gift Giving Season....

Happy Hellos Everyone:

I hope all is well with you and yours. Today is the third day of Christmas. What have you recieved from your true love today? I'm not sure about you, but I'm still waiting on the first day's gift.

Today's creation has less of a Christmas theme. Well in actuality, there is no Christmas theme to this paper creation. However, I am planning to give this as a Christmas gift. I was totally shocked when I discovered a close family member showed interest in this altered box. I was visiting one of my favorite LSS. I discovered they had the entire collection of the Graphic45 Wizard of Oz papers in stock and I just had to have them. I haven't completed the project completely, but take a look at what I came up with thus far.

I just love all the colorful characters.

I accentuated the eyes by using a layer of Glossy Accents.

If you take a closer look, you'll see I have used a little Stickle on Dorothy's shoes.

I also added a red Stickled heart to The Tin Man's chest.

I raised Dorothy, Oz, the flying monkeys, the crow, and Glenda--the Good Witch with dimensionals. The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, The Lion, and the Wicked Witch are flush against the box.

 Of course, I had to have purple feet. There's purple DP in this collection. I wasn't sure if this box would be given to a male of female recipient, so I used square feet.

I highlight multiple pairs of the ruby red slippers with red stickles on the insided of the box.

Did you see the other witch's feet peaking out from the corner of the box? Finally, notice the original cigar tape that outlines the box. I like to think this smbolizes the yellow brick road.

Well, what do you think?

I hope you like my altered cigar box. I enjoyed working with The Wizard of Oz theme and I was so delighted to know someone enjoyed this theme as well. As always, thanks for visiting The Peddler's Gallery and come back tomorrow for our parade of paper creations continues.

It's All about the Handbag

Happy Hellos Everyone:

I hope your week has kicked-off to a wonderful beginning.

We've officially entered the twelve days of Christmas. Are you expecting anything from your true love?

It's the 12th day of December! Can you believe it? Christmas is almost here. I mean-like 13 days before Christmas kinda-here. There's still shopping to do. In addition to that...The Peddler's Gallery Parade of Paper Creations continues. Which means, there's a lot of creativity going on in my little world. I think The Peddler's Gallery is experiencing some sort of deja vu because today's handbag definitely has a wintry feel. Again I'm not sure whether I want to put a store-bought gift in this back or some of my homemade baked goods or perhaps a couple packs of hot chocolate and a few marshmallows.

To create this darling little handbag, I returned to some of my favorite designer paper series. Take a look...

It's In the Bag....Continues

Happy Hellos All:

It's the 9th day of December! Can you believe it? Christmas is almost here. I mean-like 16 days before Christmas kinda-here. There's still shopping to do. In addition to that...The Peddler's Gallery Parade of Paper Creations continues.

Santa's Little Helper

Happy Hellos Everyone:

I hope your holidays are holding lots of wonderful times and you're stacking-up on wonderful memories with your family and friends. I'm curious. Have you started your holiday shopping or are you in the boat I'm in? I haven't started my Christmas shopping; however, it's on my list of things to do.

Now, on with The Peddler's Gallery Parade of Paper Creation. I must admit today's card is totally CAS. I feel in love with this image from the moment I saw it. The image just caused me to smile. Not only that, I'm a a huge fan of Mo Manning.Today's card isn't about the big man. It's all about Santa's little helper. You know, the behind the seen guy. This is the card I would have love to send to everyone on my Christmas card list, but I just could not imagine reduplicating this 80 times. Instead, I created six of these little darling to take to a Christmas event I plan to participate in on this Sunday.



Well, what do you think?

I adorned the image in the traditional red and green. However, of course, I had to adorn the image in my traditional holiday colors--purple and green. I accented Santa's little helper with clear micro beads. I changed the background of the cards to create a different look. I can't wait to show you this same card for another special occasion. Be on the lookout.

As always, thanks for stopping by The Peddler's Gallery and come back tomorrow for the parade of paper creation.

Rustic Christmas Wreath

Happy Hellos Everyone!

So glad you decided to stop by the gallery today. You're just in time for The Peddler's Gallery Parade of Paper Creations. Today's card has a rustic feel to me. It put in mind of a door I would come across in the south. Take a look.

This was a fun card to create. A woodgrain stamp, a littler Versmark, embossing power, ink, and  a little Glossy Accents and I was done.  If you haven't done so, checkout the door knobs. I created using 'This & That' dimenisonals. I emboss them, colored them with a Copic marker and sealed it with a thick coat of Glossy Accents.

Tell me, what do you think?

As always, thanks for stopping by The Peddler's Gallery and come back tomorrow as the parade will continue tomorrow.
