Chanukah Event

I had such a fun event on Tuesday night!  First, I have tell you that Thursday night I was beyond exhausted.  I had been up since the early hours of the morning and had a hard day.  I was worried that I wouldn’t be energized for the event. But once the event rolled around, I had a great time.  The women were lovely.  We were cracking jokes and laughing so hard.  I love that my hobby brings smiles, not just into my life, but everyone it touches.  This is why I do what I do.

Here were the projects we made.

The card is simple but looks elegant.  There is loads of sparkle all over the menorah, but unfortunately the glitter did not show up in the photo.  We needed to keep it it simple because the event was late at night and I knew people would want to take home something gorgeous but not have to work too hard. . . this fit the bill.

The next project was a little gift bag with chocolate coins (gelt).  They were special chocolates — imported from Europe.  I know the women enjoyed them 🙂  This project also has more glam than it seems.  There is a rhinestone in the center and there is silver foil behind the light purple banner.  See it?

And here we were, having a ball.

Happy Channukah -a little early!

I’m not usually so organized. Yes, my friends usually accuse me of being disgustingly organized, but most of the time, I’m falling behind. Not this year. Nuh uh. Thanks to a team swap, I already have a bunch of Channukah cards designed and ready to go! HOORAY!

For the swap, everyone chose a different set from the holiday catalog. Being Jewish, of course, I choose the Channukah Stamp set. I wanted to do it with non-traditional colors because I get bored with the typical white and blue. So here you have it, a Channukah card with purple!

Menorah

This card uses some cool products.  The menorah is done with gold embossing powder.  I used the gold foil sheets to frame the menorah.  The gold in the button is from the gold baker’s twine (product number 132975).  I unraveled the gold from the twine.  For the technique on how I did the purple ribbon, see the video below.

Enjoy!  If you have any questions, let me know.
