There was some frustration while I was making this card... We all have and love our Xyron sticker makers, right? The ones that look like an "X" and the larger ones as well. So I was fairly confident when I bought Xyron's Mega Runner tape dispenser. I despise this thing. The tape doesn't dispense properly, a lot of it ends up wasted. It's one of the few products I can't WAIT to use up. I just hope I didn't get too many refills while it was on sale.
Okay, back to the fun stuff!
This was the card I made for my husband. The front says Merry Christmas to the one I love
The sentiments were created in Word and printed out. The snowflakes were cut on my Silhouette. I don't remember who made the paper, but it was perfect!
On the jewelry front:
A few weeks before Christmas a friend contacted me and asked me to make a necklace and earrings for his wife. I made a couple of sets so he would have a choice, and this is what I came up with:
This set was made with glass black beads and AB crystal and deep red Swarovski crystals. It's a shorter length necklace, and dainty, so I used a smaller toggle clasp with a bamboo style. The photo does not do the set justice, it's VERY sparkly!
When Gordy came to make his choice he ended up buying both sets. One for his wife, one for his daughter. I hope they enjoy them!
That's about it for today, time to have a bite and relax a bit.
Happy New Year once again!
