Stampin' Sounds Christmas Card

I am so excited about this card!!!!  I finally bought one of our Stampin' Sounds Recordable cards.  I covered it in Bashful Blue card stock and used "A Cute Christmas" Stamp Set to decorate it!  The boys recorded a message on it and I cannot wait to give it to someone special!  I'm going to order a few more because I think this makes such a fun gift - especially for grandparents and family that won't be with us during the holidays!  I stamped the inside as well but still need to punch the hole for the "play" button.  It's not the best picture, but here it is:

I'll be adding this card to the "menu" of items available at the Holiday Gift Buffet.  Don't forget that tomorrow is the last day to RSVP for the event.  It will be a fun and great way to get some gifts ready for the holidays!!  CLICK HERE for more details and photos.

Stampin' Up! Open House Creations!

We had a great time at my Stampin' Up! Open House last week!!  Thanks to everyone that came over -- I hope you had fun creating!  As usual, I forgot to take pictures until after everyone had left.... but did want to post some pictures of our creations!

We made this cute little "Dasher" gift tag.  I displayed him on a bottle of wine - wouldn't that be a great gift for your neighbor?  Notice how I embossed the napkin?  How fun is that?!
Want to re-create this tag?  Here's how:
