I hope that you and your family have an amazing holiday season!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To celebrate, today I have some pretty tags to share with you! Two are Christmas themed and two are birthday themed. I made these tags and gifts for one of my dear friends because Christmas is also her birthday :O)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, two Christmas tags:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzLvTICpVYI/AAAAAAAAFpU/T2KAPwR515Y/s1600-h/PC181398.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzLvTICpVYI/AAAAAAAAFpU/T2KAPwR515Y/s400/PC181398.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418656413535262082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;For the Christmas tags, the tag and shadow tag are cut from the Cricut Joys of the Season cartridge from&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Kraft cardstock&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bashful Blue cardstock&lt;/span&gt;. Then I inked the edges with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Creamy Caramel Classic ink&lt;/span&gt; using a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sponge Dauber.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The to/from stamp is from the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Winter Post &lt;/span&gt;stamp set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ribbon on the first tag is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1/4inch Chocolate Chip &lt;/span&gt;grosgrain ribbon and the ribbon on the second tag is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1/4inch Tempting Turquoise&lt;/span&gt; grosgrain ribbon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzLvS3WKimI/AAAAAAAAFpM/NV-P8SHO-5Y/s1600-h/PC181397.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 351px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzLvS3WKimI/AAAAAAAAFpM/NV-P8SHO-5Y/s400/PC181397.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418656409053727330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next two tags are birthday themed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this first one, I used a stamp from the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Birthday Bliss&lt;/span&gt; stamp set. On the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bermuda Bay cardstock&lt;/span&gt;, I used the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scallop Trim Border punch&lt;/span&gt;.

I made these cards using some scraps out of my scrap stash. The base of all the cards is a piece of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kraft cardstock&lt;/span&gt;.  It isn't too late to send out Christmas cards! I have sent out cards as late as January before tee hee!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "Season's Greetings" sentiment is from the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Snow Swirled&lt;/span&gt; stamp set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzKvmXv7aCI/AAAAAAAAFoE/8_WYg0ikMhM/s1600-h/PC201497.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 353px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzKvmXv7aCI/AAAAAAAAFoE/8_WYg0ikMhM/s400/PC201497.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418586375425058850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;For this first card, I used a snowflake from the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Snow Swirled&lt;/span&gt; stamp set. The decorative corner was made with the upcoming &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scallop Trim Corner Punch&lt;/span&gt;!! I also used the matching &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scallop Trim border punch&lt;/span&gt; to make the trim at the bottom of the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bashful Blue&lt;/span&gt; cardstock.

I mentioned this a while back so if you are a regular here at SP, you might already know about this. Pictured above is one of my specialty dinners: Chicken pot pie casserole. I made it in my brand new Rachel Ray bake ware!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was contacted a while ago by &lt;a href="http://www.CSNstores.com"&gt;CSNstores.com&lt;/a&gt; and they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. They asked me to do a review for them and I was so excited to say YES!! If you don't know about CSNstores.com let me take a second to tell you about them. CSN stores is an online retailer with over 200 different online stores. Each store specializes in one category of items such as furniture, bake ware, office supplies, etc. They have pretty much any item you can think of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://common4.csnimages.com/lf/1/hash/1119/1870335/1/Yum%2DO%21+Bakeware+5%2DPiece+Bakeware+Set.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I chose to review the Rachel Ray 5 piece bake ware set. I chose this set because I happen to enjoy baking and this set is dishwasher safe AND non-stick, a perfect combo in my opinion. I also love the cute little handles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was so exciting when the big package arrived at my house! They packaged the bake ware so carefully and everything arrived in beautiful condition. They did a great job shipping it (if you order anything online, you know how important the packaging can be, I hate it when things arrive in less than perfect condition). So I was really impressed at how carefully CSN packaged my bake ware set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After opening up my package and pulling out all the bakeware, I was so excited that I had to get them washed so I could use them for dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night I made hamburgers (yes I bake them) in my new baking pan, but I forgot to take a photo. I was really happy with the way my hamburgers came out. The handles on the sides of each dish really come in handy when pulling things out of the oven. I noticed this because my other dishes don't have handles like these do.  I will definitely be buying more dishes with handles from now on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND finally, I want to tell you, they weren't kidding when they said the dishes were non-stick. For dessert, I made a sopapilla cheesecake, pictured below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzFy_2E3xEI/AAAAAAAAFnc/Khd6aEWKJ0Q/s1600-h/PC111371.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzFy_2E3xEI/AAAAAAAAFnc/Khd6aEWKJ0Q/s400/PC111371.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418238267876688962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I took out some of the little cheesecake squares so you could see that they come off the dish beautifully.  Now I know what you are thinking. . . those look delicious, don't they?? Well, I thought you would think so, so I have the recipe for you!!  When I was at my first craft fair recently, the Pampered Chef that had a booth made these lovely treats and so I immediately wanted to make some of my own. I found a recipe online and adjusted it to my tastes. This was actually the second time I made Sopapilla Cheesecake and it was magical! LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredients:&lt;br /&gt;2 cans of Pillsbury Crescent rolls&lt;br /&gt;1 cup of sugar&lt;br /&gt;1 8oz package of Cream Cheese, softened&lt;br /&gt;1 teaspoon of cinnamon&lt;br /&gt;2 tablespoons butter, melted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steps:&lt;br /&gt;1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll out one can of crescent rolls in baking sheet in one flat sheet of dough (I used my beautiful new Rachel Ray baking sheet!!) Do not separate the rolls.&lt;br /&gt;2. Set aside 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and pour the rest of the sugar into a mixing bowl. Add cream cheese and mix until combined.&lt;br /&gt;3. Spread cream cheese mixture over the rolled out dough.&lt;br /&gt;4. Roll out the second can of crescent rolls over the cream cheese.&lt;br /&gt;5. Brush melted butter over the top of the dough and sprinkle cinnamon and 1-2 tablespoons of sugar over the top.&lt;br /&gt;6. Bake until golden brown, approx 20 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I am very pleased with my new bake ware set and I would highly recommend it if you are in the market for some new dishes. The handles are convenient, the non-stick surface is great, and they are pretty! These dishes are far nicer than the other bake ware I have purchased in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/thescrapmaster/shoppinglist.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Stampin' With Sami Shopping List contains all of the current Stampin' UP products that I used on today's project.

I have some big news to share today along with two Christmas cards. This week, leading up to Christmas I will be posing some simple cards I made for Christmas. I am calling this series Last Minute Christmas Cards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my last minute Christmas cards, I pulled out some of my paper scraps and used Kraft Cardstock for the base of the card.  I have already sent out my Christmas cards for the year and I didn't realize some of the photos were blurry so you will just have to deal with the blurry photos when the appear LOL. Sorry about that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you haven't yet sent Christmas cards, never fear, it isn't too late! I think you can still send out holiday cards until January 1st. :O)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a sneak peek on the first card below. To make the adorable scallops, I used the new Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scallop Trim Border Punch&lt;/span&gt; that will be available for Sale-a-bration. This punch is so sleek and classy looking. I love it!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzBH49Wx22I/AAAAAAAAFnE/4VYW8gUOJSI/s1600-h/PC201492.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 345px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzBH49Wx22I/AAAAAAAAFnE/4VYW8gUOJSI/s400/PC201492.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417909395595058018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The snowflake is from the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Serene Snowflakes&lt;/span&gt; stamp set stamped in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bermuda Bay ink &lt;/span&gt;and the sentiment is from the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Snow Swirled&lt;/span&gt; stamp set stamped in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Soft Suede&lt;/span&gt;. For cardstocks, I used &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cool Caribbean&lt;/span&gt; (Retired In Color), &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bermuda Bay&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kraft&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MY BIG NEWS: Notice I have a fancy new watermark!?? I finally decided to design a fancy watermark for my photos here. I decided to go with SP for Scrapmaster's Paradise rather than my initials SS BECAUSE in the next year or so. . . my initials will be changing! WAHOOOOOOOOOOO!! Johnny and I have decided to finally get married, we don't have a date set, but we do know it will happen early 2011! I know it seems like a long time away, but it will be here before ya know it and we gotta start getting things planned out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the watermark is symbolic BECAUSE my new initials will actually be SP, just like the initials here at Scrapmaster's Paradise! Isn't that coincidental???? I don't know how or why that happened but I thought it was cute when I noticed it recently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzBH5PUWfcI/AAAAAAAAFnM/3g42uZnB4HM/s1600-h/PC201490.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 345px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SzBH5PUWfcI/AAAAAAAAFnM/3g42uZnB4HM/s400/PC201490.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417909400416714178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This card was made with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Real Red&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Handsome Hunter &lt;/span&gt;cardstock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/thescrapmaster/shoppinglist.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Stampin' With Sami Shopping List contains all of the current Stampin' UP products that I used on today's project.

I have scrapbooked these same photos before (and I will two more times actually!! HE HE HE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this page, I used my Piggy Tales Kit for December. There are two sneak peeks on this page. The first one is the border punch I used called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pinking Hearts&lt;/span&gt;. All of the hearts are from the I Heart Hearts stamp set, which will be available starting Jan 5th from the Occasions mini catalog. There is also a matching &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pinking Hearts Corner punch&lt;/span&gt; to go along with the border punch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Close to Cocoa&lt;/span&gt; colored hearts, I stamped them and then punched them out with the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Heart to Heart punch&lt;/span&gt;. It was super easy to do. For the larger hearts that are &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ruby Red&lt;/span&gt; colored, I used my Xacto knife to cut around the hearts carefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sy2ObBkk1BI/AAAAAAAAFms/rhAMqd5VOIQ/s1600-h/PC141381.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 397px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sy2ObBkk1BI/AAAAAAAAFms/rhAMqd5VOIQ/s400/PC141381.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417142521726030866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/thescrapmaster/shoppinglist.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Stampin' With Sami Shopping List contains all of the current Stampin' UP products that I used on today's project.

Sometimes, simple is best and in this case, the Circles really enhance the layout. I am so glad to have the larger Cricut machine so I can create giant circles like on this layout (8.25 and 8inch circles).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my layout, I used a sketch from &lt;a href="http://www.scrapsketch.blogspot.com/"&gt;ScrapSketch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sya13g5kjOI/AAAAAAAAFk8/FUaWL8kK-gg/s1600-h/PC101366.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 391px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sya13g5kjOI/AAAAAAAAFk8/FUaWL8kK-gg/s400/PC101366.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415215567288437986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;The sneak peek on this layout is the Scallop Trim along the Basic Black cardstock piece. Notice there are CORNERS on there too!!!!! The Scallop Trim Border punch actually has a coordinating corner punch to go along with it! They are separate products that will be available starting January 5th (The border punch is part of Sale-a-bration and the Corner punch will be available from the Occasions Mini catalog.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The patterned paper used here is from My Mind's Eye Where the heart is stack (green glitter paper used in the background) and the Tiffany Stack from We are Memory Keepers (the paisley patterned paper).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The larger alphas for the "Naughty" are from Piggy Tales. The smaller alphas for the "Girl" are Vinyl Thickers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The circles were both cut using the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge. The larger circle is made from Pink Passion cardstock.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;My photos are both matted using Bashful Blue cardstock.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Notice the bottle cap I used??? I made it!!! &lt;a href="http://thescrapmaster.blogspot.com/2009/12/stampin-with-sami-lesson-bottlecap.html"&gt;The directions can be found by clicking here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 306px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rkMvrc-CTOg/Sxpmjt3o1jI/AAAAAAAADEo/9OJ3fPZywh0/s320/scrapsketch2009dec1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411750666033485362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/thescrapmaster/shoppinglist.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Stampin' With Sami Shopping List contains all of the current Stampin' UP products that I used on today's project.

HA HA HAH AH A My fiance and I are now out of college for the rest of the year (we start back in mid January) and I have quickly learned that I can't get ANYTHING done while he is home with me! HA HA HA  I love my fiance dearly and he and I spend the day together everyday and my blogging has fallen at the wayside over the past couple of weeks! I love him with all my heart and I wouldn't trade our precious time together for anything in the world so my fellow friends, I just wanted to let you know why it seems I can't get with the program lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had such great intentions for last week and yeah, it totally didn't happen the way I planned in my head. I didn't post a single Christmas color combo. I have been crafting some behind the scenes but they are projects for people to receive as presents. They don't really fit in with my usual weekly blog schedule so for the next few weeks, things around here will continue to be a little bit different than the norm. For those of you who like my regularly scheduled blog programs, I am sorry! Those programs will be fully back in action near the start of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like I have been an awful blogger, especially over the last week, so over the weekend, I made projects and I am going to go back to pre-scheduling a lot of my posts at once because I still want to give you quality inspiration and quality blog posts. So today, I am taking a big chunk of time to try to get the week's posts completed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had quite a few people contact me recently (maybe in the past month) and their comments really struck a cord within me. They all had comments along the lines of "You are such an inspiration", "I just love your blog", and similar happy thoughts. I truly appreciate everyone's support, and I want to keep being a source of inspiration. I love my blogger friends and my followers more than you will ever know. I have made some amazing friendships through my blogging experiences this last year as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year has been a rough year for me through my battle with daily migraines and continued treatments (I have three doctors appointments in the next two weeks), but part of what has helped me through it was YOU. When I made my New Year's Resolution to become a daily blogger back in the beginning of 2009, I never in my wildest dreams thought that anyone would take notice. Pretty soon, I will be reaching 95thousand visitors and to me that is overwhelming. And so for you, I am trying to be even better, post even more great projects, and I pledge to continue in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in a way, I guess this long winded explanation is a "Thank you", and "I'm sorry for being a slacker", AND a "pledge to keep going".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since my posts are going to be pre-scheduled for the most part until the beginning of the year, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!!!!! I hope that you have a great holiday season with your family!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://thescrapmaster.blogspot.com/2009/11/read-entire-post-so-you-dont-miss-out.html"&gt;Don't forget about my awesome blog candy!!

I hope you had a delightful weekend. My Sunday was nice and relaxing. I did some laundry but spent most of the day reading the third Twilight book &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Eclipse&lt;/span&gt;. I am not done with it yet so don't spoil it for me, OK?  :O)  He he, this is the reason I am so late to post today, I totally got sucked into the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My family and I also went to see The Blindside today, and it was spectacular!! Seriously, you should go see this movie!! It was really good. My mom basically cried the whole movie, and it was hard for me to hold back the tears for a lot of it. Fantastic movie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enough about my day, how's about I show you a layout?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a layout I made of my puppy, Emma when she was younger. In the top photo you can just make out the little white leg splint from when her leg was broken (now her leg is perfect).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made this layout using the current sketch over at &lt;a href="http://spunkyscrappers.ning.com/"&gt;Spunky Scrappers&lt;/a&gt; AND I combined it with some of the supplies I received from &lt;a href="http://ymhdesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;Your Memories Here&lt;/a&gt; as part of the design team, PRIMAS!!

For the inside of the brad I used markers with the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Little Flowers&lt;/span&gt; stamp set to make my own designer brads!!!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The title was made out of two different Cricut cartridges. The Pink is from Pink Journey and the Love is from Alphalicious.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Around the edges of the patterned paper I used &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Close to Cocoa classic ink&lt;/span&gt; and a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sponge Dauber.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/thescrapmaster/shoppinglist.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Stampin' With Sami Shopping List contains all of the current Stampin' UP products that I used on today's project.

The purpose of me bringing your these mini workshops is to hopefully convince you to become one of my lovely Stampin' UP customers :O)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that said, if you would like to order any of the Stampin' UP products shown today (or any other day) please email me scrapmastersparadise@yahoo.com or order online 24/7 by clicking on my awesome blog button:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://stampinwithsami.stampinup.net/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SWVyBP1Ht6I/AAAAAAAACUc/DhcWTWXoTL8/s400/orderonline2.jpg" width="40%" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I want to tell you about a cool way to use your Crystal Effects to make bottlecap embellishments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SyPr6Nju_aI/AAAAAAAAFkE/sCCZyMl0Wmk/s1600-h/PC061304.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 331px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/SyPr6Nju_aI/AAAAAAAAFkE/sCCZyMl0Wmk/s400/PC061304.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414430562333949346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I made these bottlecap embellishments. You can get bottlecaps from a variety of drinks and mine happened to come from Stuart's Orange Cream Soda. My fiance absolutely LOVES Stuart's Orange Cream Soda and Goose Isle Orange Cream Soda. He is very particular about which brands of orange cream soda that he likes, but the Goose Isle brand is not sold in stores around here any longer so it has to be special ordered. Anyway, enough digressions LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SUPPLIES NEEDED:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Patterned Paper or cardstock&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1inch Circle Punch&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bottlecaps (I flattened mine with a hammer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Crystal Effects&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;STEPS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Punch out circles of patterned paper or cardstock (mine shown above was made out of cardstock and a small heart from the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Heart to Heart Punch&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Attach circle punch outs to the top of the bottle caps with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cover entire circle with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Crystal Effects&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Let dry and attach it to your project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/thescrapmaster/shoppinglist.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Stampin' With Sami Shopping List contains all of the current Stampin' UP products that I used on today's project.

I will have more sneak peeks all week long :O)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a sneak peek of the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Little Angel&lt;/span&gt; stamp set and the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pinking Hearts Border Punch&lt;/span&gt;. This card was made using a sentiment stamp from the Stampin' Up&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Little Angel&lt;/span&gt; stamp set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also made this for my &lt;a href="http://spcolorcombos.blogspot.com/"&gt;Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Combo #27&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx3KlaSk42I/AAAAAAAAFjM/LQGd-UPydeE/s1600-h/Page0234.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx3KlaSk42I/AAAAAAAAFjM/LQGd-UPydeE/s400/Page0234.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412705071230411618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;For the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kraft cardstock&lt;/span&gt;, I used the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Perfect Details Texturz&lt;/span&gt; plate to emboss the background with my &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Big Shot&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The sentiment is from the Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Little Angel&lt;/span&gt; stamp set. I purchased the new UNMOUNTED Rubber option for my stamp set and it was pretty neat!! I stamped it in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Close to Cocoa&lt;/span&gt; Classic Ink and then colored in the ampersand (and symbol) with a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Brocade Blue Stampin' Write marker&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The teddy bear die cut was made using the Cricut A Child's Year cartridge. It was cut from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bashful Blue&lt;/span&gt; cardstock. I added some accents to the teddy bear using the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Creamy Caramel Stampin' Write Marker&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The square is made from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Brocade Blue&lt;/span&gt; cardstock. I used the new Stampin' UP &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pinking Hearts border punch&lt;/span&gt; along the bottom of the square and then rounded the top corners with the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Corner Rounder punch&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/thescrapmaster/shoppinglist.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Stampin' With Sami Shopping List contains all of the current Stampin' UP products that I used on today's project.

The rest of the week, I am going to be posting SNEAK PEEKS from the upcoming Stampin' UP Occasions Mini Catalog which comes out January 5th. Today I wanted to share the ornaments I made. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did NOT come up with this idea on my own, but I have adapted the original idea so that you can make ornaments in ANY Stampin' UP Color!!!! How exciting is that?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is our Christmas tree. We use a faux tree because my mom is SEVERELY allergic to the real ones (she broke out in hives one year and we have never tried a real tree again!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All those ball ornaments were made with GLITTER!!!! YAY!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZBEAfqXI/AAAAAAAAFi0/JOVqEpPlSqM/s1600-h/PC071339e.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZBEAfqXI/AAAAAAAAFi0/JOVqEpPlSqM/s400/PC071339e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650570703939954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZA2mf5RI/AAAAAAAAFis/cDQ5SoXz15U/s1600-h/PC071338e.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZA2mf5RI/AAAAAAAAFis/cDQ5SoXz15U/s400/PC071338e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650567105242386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZAkD5zcI/AAAAAAAAFik/NNoW36UU6m8/s1600-h/PC071336e.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZAkD5zcI/AAAAAAAAFik/NNoW36UU6m8/s400/PC071336e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650562128301506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZJsyEifI/AAAAAAAAFjE/XlrWRyxGW-E/s1600-h/PC071344e.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZJsyEifI/AAAAAAAAFjE/XlrWRyxGW-E/s400/PC071344e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650719088249330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZJfdCBTI/AAAAAAAAFi8/JUIhQsNG3Wc/s1600-h/PC071342e.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZJfdCBTI/AAAAAAAAFi8/JUIhQsNG3Wc/s400/PC071342e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650715510342962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for some of my ornaments, I used colored fine glitter, but for others, I created my own Stampin' UP colored ornaments by using Classic Reinkers in Kiwi Kiss, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, and Rich Razzleberry. Just follow the steps below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SUPPLIES NEEDED:&lt;br /&gt;*Classic Reinker of your color choice&lt;br /&gt;*Stampin' UP Dazzling Diamonds glitter&lt;br /&gt;*Pledge liquid floor wax with Future Floor Shine (it is in a clear bottle with a blue cap, in the cleaning isle)&lt;br /&gt;*Clear glass ball ornaments&lt;br /&gt;*LOTS of paper towels (this is messy!!!)&lt;br /&gt;*Powder Pal Trays&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2YoMchDAI/AAAAAAAAFhs/0KcKkUy3ma0/s1600-h/PC071321.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2YoMchDAI/AAAAAAAAFhs/0KcKkUy3ma0/s400/PC071321.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650143472225282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;STEPS:&lt;br /&gt;1. Take off the top of the clear ornament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2YofCuO7I/AAAAAAAAFh0/iBfTWPh9kRQ/s1600-h/PC071322.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2YofCuO7I/AAAAAAAAFh0/iBfTWPh9kRQ/s400/PC071322.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650148464311218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;2. Pour a small amount of Pledge with Future Floor Shine into ornament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2YohnsFaI/AAAAAAAAFh8/iMjw4qSASZc/s1600-h/PC071324.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2YohnsFaI/AAAAAAAAFh8/iMjw4qSASZc/s400/PC071324.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650149156230562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;3. Pour 2-3 drops of Classic Reinker into the ball ornament. I am using a retired Kiwi Kiss Classic Reinker for the sample ball ornament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Swirl the liquid around until the entire inside of the ornament is coated (you can use a piece of plastic, paper towel, or your finger to plug up the hole while you are swirling, I just used my finger LOL)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2YpOoGNiI/AAAAAAAAFiE/7dBU9jXxMk4/s1600-h/PC071327.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2YpOoGNiI/AAAAAAAAFiE/7dBU9jXxMk4/s400/PC071327.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650161237538338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;5. Pour out excess liquid and discard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2Ypn3_i3I/AAAAAAAAFiM/_-uexsOxVNQ/s1600-h/PC071328.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2Ypn3_i3I/AAAAAAAAFiM/_-uexsOxVNQ/s400/PC071328.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650168015096690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;6. Pour glitter into ornament over the powder pal tray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZANmfmPI/AAAAAAAAFiU/AAaGNvz2cYA/s1600-h/PC071330.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZANmfmPI/AAAAAAAAFiU/AAaGNvz2cYA/s400/PC071330.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650556099369202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;7. Swirl glitter around until the entire inside of the ornament is coated with glitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZAYhvHLI/AAAAAAAAFic/ddtq9ntYUng/s1600-h/PC071334.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F2xy-y_rNxE/Sx2ZAYhvHLI/AAAAAAAAFic/ddtq9ntYUng/s400/PC071334.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412650559032204466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;8. Let the ornament dry and then replace the top of the ornament. And VOILA, you have your own customized ornaments!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv108/thescrapmaster/shoppinglist.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Stampin' With Sami Shopping List contains all of the current Stampin' UP products that I used on today's project.
