A Day in the Life of a Stampin’ Business Owner Just Before Christmas

I came out to my stampin’ studio from my house about 6.30 this morning.  It’s a large room over our garage.  About two hours later, when I was well into Project #1 (for our monthly Stampin’ for Adults at the Mi Wuk Library get together), Fred came in to visit.

Meet Fred, our arrogant, people loving male cat.  He sat right in the middle of the card stock I’d been sorting and preparing.  Fortunately he didn’t do too much ‘damage’.

 

I managed to get that project finished as soon as Fred decided to go outside for some fresh mountain air.  (You’ll see these tomorrow and Friday.)

And I moved on to Project #2, some favors I’d promised to make for a friend.  I really like the way they turned out.  I used one of my favorite holiday stamp sets, Jar of CheerI also used the Jar of Love stamp set and bundle from the annual catalog.

The box that holds the candle is 3″ x 3″, scored at 3/4″ on all 4 sides and then shaped into the little box.

All things considered, this was a pretty quick project. I put 13 tea light holders together in about 3 hours max.
