Happy New Year!

...Well, almost! Do you have any plans for New Year's Eve? We usually just stay home because of the girls, have friends over, or what not, but this year I think is going to be a quiet one for us!

Speaking of new years and new beginnings, I'm so excited for Rebecca Cross, the owner of Create My Keepsake who has announced that she has sold CMK to Lisa Tilmon, and is starting her own manufacturing company called Pink Paislee! Rebecca is so very talented and I just adore her style...I'm sad to see her leaving CMK, but paired with Holly McCaig, I'm positive they will be successful in their endeavors! Can't wait to see their new lines debuting at Winter CHA this year! And a big congrats to Lisa as well! I've known Lisa for some time now, and she is definitely the person who can take CMK over, making it just as successful, warm, and fun as it was before! So please check out her first club kit for January 2008 here. These are few things I created with this kit!

One day Kati lined up all the Spongebobs
and had them marching across the coffeetable, how cute!

Publishing news...

Thought I would pop in and share something of mine that was in the newest issue of Paper Crafts, Feb. 2008! There are 3 cards in this issue of mine, but we are only allowed to post one. So go get this issue! I'm so excited that the editor at Paper Crafts Magazine has asked me to make a few projects for their "Crafting with Kids" issue as well! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed your family time...I can't believe 2008 is almost here! How time flies! ~Danielle~

Santa Claus is comin' to town...

Only a few days 'til Santa comes! Yesss! I'm so happy just to be done with my shopping and wrapping, now I can enjoy the next few days with my girls! I meant to check in sooner and post some things, but time slipped away from me..such a busy time of year. Yesterday I made little white chocolate snowmen for Taylor's class wrapped in snowman cellophane and tied with little ribbons. I'll take a pic in the morning if I remember! Here are some things I have been working on for Inspire Me Card Kits:

My Snow Angels (my 2 girls a few days ago enjoying the snow..I still need to add my journaling..oops! Please click on the photos to see them larger.)

More projects for IMCK:

And here are the cards for Treasured Scrapbooking's December card kit featuring Basic Grey- Figgy Pudding papers. The patterns for the snowflake and mitten are included in the kit. There are only 3 left! Get one while they last!
Thank you for stopping in today! If I don't post again before the big day, I wish you a Merry Christmas!!! Hugs, Danielle
