Mel's Creative Creations

I really do love the Santa's Workshop suite. I was in need of some more Christmas cards and made these. The last card is actually made from a retired stamp set. I really enjoy that stamp set so I kept it to use for my personal use. I also love how you can make a festive envelope with the speciality designer paper from Santa's Workshop. I got my inspiration of the cards using Santa's Workshop from the Holiday Catalog. A reminder that catalog is good until January 2nd.

I do enjoy our Paper Pumpkin. I especially enjoyed November's Paper Pumpkin and wanted to share with you all what I had created. I usually don't defer from what they suggest in making the cards or projects. The only time I might not do it exactly as they tell us is if I think it's too difficult to replicate. I am always happy to have more Paper Pumpkin customers. If you would like to become one let me know and I will find the information out on how to become one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank You for stopping by.

I believe back in August I gave you a sneak peek of the suite Country Lane. With Thanksgiving coming I thought it was a good idea to play with this suite again. Here are the final results. I got my inspiration from the Holiday Catalog. I still have Holiday Catalogs if you are in need of one let me know and I will be happy to send you one. I did a little bit of everything. In the first card I actually used left overs from October's Paper Pumpkin. In the last card seen I even played with some of our Stampin Blends. This suite has been one of my favorites in the Holiday Catalog. Even when this set retires I can see myself keeping it as this is my style. Or should I say my dream style. If you are American I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. And to all that read this I am thankful to you and the time you take to check me out!

I recently got back into Paper Pumpkin. This is a monthly subscription and you get a surprise each month. This month was enough supplies to make these lovely cards. I like the convenience of having everything at my finger tips. After I made these cards some of them flew to a new home. I hope the recipients enjoy them! 

If you are not aware November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month. I made these cards for my sisters as this is the cancer that took our mom away from us 7 years ago. I wanted to do something that remembered our Mom but brought awareness of this cancer to. My plan originally was to have identical cards but I made a small mistake and had to get creative. Lol.  Most of the products I used are recent and can be found in our annual or holiday catalog. But not the doilies as they are retired but we have different kind of doilies, again in the annual catalog. Is there a cause your passionate about? I would love to hear about it.

If you follow me on social media you have seen these pictures already. But for my dear blog readers I thought I would share here my recent order here. Yes, those are Stampin' Up! socks you see. You can only get these if you are a demonstrator and with your flex points. Our new year starts in October and we have have to spend any flex points we have left by the end of the month.The rest of the items you see are in our holiday catalog or main.
