DJ's Sundries

Christmas is fast approaching and I want to really document it well this year.  Though I had heard of Ali Edwards' December Daily a couple of years ago, I really didn't know what it was.  Last year as I learned a little more, I put together a little (and simple) album.  This year, I am ready to give it a try.  This video gives more information and it also talks about a little giveaway that I'm doing on YouTube.  Be sure to watch it for a chance to win.  My current plan is to update you weekly on my progress so come back soon to see how it is coming together. Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Today is "Small Business Saturday" and I have decided to offer a special to anyone who places an order with my independent small business.  Anyone who places an order OF ANY SIZE will receive a "Mini Christmas" stamp direct from me.  All you have to do is place an order by 11:59 pm MST tonight on the "November Gathering" and I will mail the stamp in a separate package to you.  If you place an order of $100 or more, I will send out a "City Sidewalks" complement pack.  So head on over to www.djssundries.closetomyheart.com and check out some great supplies to kick your Christmas Crafting into gear.

I have a few videos to post today just to catch you up.  I hope you enjoy them.  Come back soon for more fun projects. New Foxy Fix notebook and a small haul. "Oh Deer" handmade inserts and Foxy set-up. 2016 Thanksgiving Place Cards. Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things .

This card was actually posted some time ago on YouTube and I just realized that I never posted it here.  I use a lot of thank you cards so I try to keep them on hand.  I love to coordinate them with the season so I knew it would be perfect for this project. Here's what I used Sangria Paper Pack (retired) September 2016 SOTM (retired) Goldrush cardstock   (Or part of the Enchantment pack) Colonial White cardstock Cricut Artbooking cartridge Colonial White cardbase Autumn Teracotta Exclusives Ink (retired) New England Ivy cardstock (Or part of the Enchantment pack above) Wink of Stella glitter pen Xyron sticker maker foam tape Be sure and watch the video to see how this card was made and to get a Cricut tip for cutting the pumpkin.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love the Workshops Your Way from Close To My Heart?  Okay, you're right and I have.  However,  I just can't get over how great these kits are.  There is so much you can do with them.  When you add items, the kits become even greater.  I have set a goal to use everything in the kit by the end of November.  We will see.  Even after creating everything you see in the video, I still have quite a few pieces left in the kit.  In fact, I think that I may still have an entire piece of paper left of my favorite print of the kit. Here are the items that you will need to complete the kit in the way I did: Swan Lake Workshop Your Way Thankful For You Thin Cut Bundle Page Protectors (Pocket Plus Design 1) Page Protectors (Pocket Plus Design 3) Flip Flaps (4X6) Goldrush Exclusive Ink Pad Whisper Exclusive Ink Pad Poppy Exclusive Ink Pad Peacock Exclusive Ink Pad White Card Bases Foam Tape You will also need s...
