Pine cone Penguins, Cardinal and Mouse

I was doing a little blog surfing tonight and run across this cute Pine cone Penguin. These are on the Martha Stewart website. I have tons of Pine cones in my yard. Not sure how nice since the snow has hit them but going to find out tomorrow and see. If not then this will make a good project for next year. These are so cute, I just had to share with you all. They also have a Christmas Pine cone Cardinal which is also adorable and a Pine cone Mouse. Any and all of these would be so cute on a Christmas Tree or scattered around some candles as a center piece. The photo's are small so I will not show them here so click on the links and check them out.
Tomorrow I should have another homemade project for you.

Patty Penguin

I have been so busy with Mom and back and forth to the clinic and hospital with her. She is out again and doing ok. Dehydrated and her kidney levels was way down. Then with Thanksgiving I got a little behind again.
We got snow on Thursday morning and this time it stayed. Been real cold here so have been trying to stay in as much as possible with this fibro.
I love working with punches. This little penguin turned out so cute. I put him on a mini notebook. I also used the Snowflake embossing folder with Bashful Blue and put that as my background cover and inside cover. I just used black card stock for the binding.
For punches I used the following:
Word Punch (Real Red)
1/2" circle punch (Real Red)
1 1/4" circle punch (head done in basic black)
13/8" circle punch ( hat done in whisper white)
Wide Oval Punch (basic black for body)
Large Oval Punch (whisper white for belly)
Small Oval Punch (basic black for his arms)
1/4" circle punch (eyes) Now I have two 1/4" punches one is larger than the other so did the smaller one in basic black for his eyeballs.
Beak and feet are done with the punch that has 3 flowers on it.
I also used the 2 way glue pen to glue him together.
You can find a tutorial video here. Heather tells you all the punches you need before she gets started on showing you how to make the penguin. So cute!
Hope you enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my blogger friends...

Glittered Candle Holders

These are so pretty and would be so easy to make. Instead of putting clip art behind the glass to do, stamp an image and put it behind the glass and follow the directions. These would make such a nice gift.

Directions for making this project and supplies are here. I have to get me some taller candle holders and some glue with a small tip on it and I am making these.

Gobble Gobble

I found this cute card on two blogs one is Karen Gibson's and one is on Dawn's Blog. They are so cute. Well it hit me I needed to make some Thanksgiving cards for my parents and my 3 aunt and 1 uncle that is still with us. So far I have two made and three to go. They are so fun and easy to make. I used smaller eyes on mine. I think they will get a kick out of them.

So if you go to Dawn's blog she has a video tutorial on a snowman and you make the turkey card the say way except of course you add the waddle and the beak.

Hope you enjoy today's project.

CBC#42 - Candy Cane Mouse Package Tag

Chrissy has another challenge this week. This one is using tags, I chose to make a 3D tag for mine. I will just write the name of the person on the back of the mouse and tie a ribbon to the candy cane or put a little bow between his/her ears. These are so fun and easy to make. And will make such a cute tag for your Christmas gifts.

You can find the template on Dawn's Blog here. Scroll down some and you will see a PDF file to download for the template. Then if you go over to her studio you can see a video on how to put him together. Super easy, super fast and super cute! Now mine is done in creamy caramel but you can do him/her in many different colors. Just have fun with your little mouse. These also would be really cute hanging on the Christmas Tree. Heck go wild and hang them from the curtain rods or around your lamp shades.

Don't forget if your making a tag for the challenge to go to Chrissy's blog and add to the comments for a prize giveaway. And if upload to SCS be sure to add CBC42 and on your blog link back to Chrissy's blog. Also remember if you mention her blog candy on your blog you can leave a comment and have a chance for some blog candy.

Be sure and check out the other girls on the DT on what they come up with this week. You can find those links on my side bar listed under Belli Challenge Design Team on the right hand side of my blog.
