Happy Friday!!! It has been ages since I have given away any blog candy. So today is the day! This is my way of thanking you for coming to my new blog and leavilng such sweet comments! But before I get to the candy...I want to show you my Festive Friday project. Thanks to the incredibly talented Lauren Meader- I have made a fun cup holder with hot chocolate and marshmellows!
Isn't it adorable?! I think this would be a fabulous hostess gift for Holiday parties or even a fun teacher gift. The Mr. Twigster stamp set is just too darn cute! I filled the cello bags with hot chocolate mix and large marshmellows and then just tied it closed with some Old Olive ribbon. I covered the cups with some pretty Designer series paper. If you have never covered cups with paper before- here is a tip: Take an extra cup and cut it done the seem on the side. Cut the bottom of the cut off. Now use this as a template and trace it onto your patterned paper.
Recipe:
Stamps: Mr. Twigster, Many Merry Messages
Paper: Ski Slope Designer Series Paper, Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Old Olive
Other: Circle Scallop Punch, 1 3/4 circle punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, white gel pen, real red and Pumpkin Pie Markers, Small Felt Flurries, Real Red Button, Old Olive Ribbon, Disposable cups (bought at Target), hot chocolate mix, and Large Marshmellows
Now on to the blog candy!!!!

Mr. Twigster really caught my eye and I had to come in for a closer look. However, cards are my passion.

That's an adorable drink holder! Very nice idea, especially for teachers. I love seeing all the different kinds of work. Thanks!
I started out scrapbooking about 10 years ago and then took a long break. Now I'm back and I'm loving card making! Coming to your blog has given me a lot of inspiration! Thanks for the chance to win!
That is a hard one Jamie, because I really like almost anything that you do, but if you are making me choose, I have to say your scrapbook pages are STUNNING and provide me with some real inspiration to get cracking on my pages.
Thanks for the blog candy opportunity

Hi Jamie! I've added your blog to my Google REader! I like all kinds of projects, cardmaking, scrapbooking and 3D projects. Right now I'm doing more cardmaking though, but 2 weeks I did 3 scrapbook pages, and since I'm a teacher, I also do 3D paper projects!
Jamie I love your new site! I love all the projects but my favorite is scrapbook pages!! thanks for being such an inspiration!
i love it, ilove it....i love it...did i say that 3 times...I will make one for myself! love your blog...
I subscribed to you blog a short while ago. I love all of your ideas. I started off scrapbooking but got into cardmaking when we moved. I've recently been into making all sorts of goodies in 3d and absolutely love it. I really like making cute gifts for people, and personalizing them is really fun. Thanks for your inspiration!!
I LOVE - LOVE - LOVE the cocoa cup holder!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love to papercraft so your 3-d projects are great ideas to me. Thanks for your blog!
I love cards and 3-d projects. I'm not a scrapper......yet. Thanks for sharing.
I love to make cards, instant gratification. I do scrapbook also.

I just love your blog! It's so hard to pick a favorite project. I am absolutely drawn to your scrapbook pages. They're always great! I love all of your other stuff too, though. There is never a bad post. :)
Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi! I have recently found your post and love all of your ideas. I am already thinking about Christmas gifts I just love your blog! It’s so hard to pick a favorite project
Hi Jamie!
I was just complaining to myself last night that I'm out of ideas for Christmas gift projects for co-workers and voila! Here you go, giving me something so darned cute to make! I love the hot chocolate holder and cups idea! Darling!
Keep the great gift ideas coming, they're my favorite.
Also, I thought I'd let you know that the Christmas Tree and Snowflake stamp set I bought from you is nearly worn out now...I use it most everyday!!!! I LOVE it!
Scrapbook pages not a surprise for me huh jamie. Love all the stuff but have to stick with my true love.
What a cute project! I love looking at 3-D projects, but I seem to be a "3-D challenged" artist. I prefer making scrapbooks and minibooks.
Hi Jamie!
I am already a subscriber, and have been admiring your cards. But, this time of the year, I am especially interested in the 3D projects. That cup holder is too cute!
Thanks for a chance to win :)
That project is adorable! I like projects most of all...I have no idea how you people think of such amazing projects! I love them all!
Hi! Just recently found your blog. Loving everything so far.I really like your scrapbook ideas, actually all your projects are great.
I love cards!
You do some amazing work. That coffee holder is just adorable. I'll have to try it for myself. I really enjoy making cards but have drifted to scrapbooking since I just had my son in March. It seems like I have to capture every moment of him and scrapbook it. Can't you tell I'm a first time mom?!
I love your scrapbook pages. I make a lot of them! :)
By the way, can you tell me how to make that bow on the bag from last entry?
Jamie,
At this time of year I love 3-D projects! With so many little gifts to give,I love any idea's! And this one is adorable! Thank you for sharing!Elizabeth Glass
