Holiday Extravaganza Project 3 PLUS My Paper Pumpkin Project
Here’s project 3 from the Holiday Extravaganza! LOVED the snowman tea lights that I CASED from Becky Roberts when she first showed them a couple of years ago! 🙂
As soon as I got My Paper Pumpkin this month, I KNEW what I wanted to do with it! Look at the FUN “pie” project for Thanksgiving!
Our family in a small group bible study. We get together every other week – we eat together and our kids attend with us. Kids hang out in another room, or outside, while we do our study. At the end of the study, all of the adults and kids gather in one room. Each week one of the kids gives a devotion to our whole group. The kids get comfortable sharing with their friends and adults! It’s very informal and low key.
Brady’s turn for the devotion is this week. He wanted a “Thanksgiving” theme, so his lesson is on giving thanks! As “luck” (I call them “Godincidences”, not coincidences) would have it, there are 8 kids in our group. There are 8 pieces of pie! At the end of Brady’s lesson, each kid will get a small piece of paper. They will fill in where it says “I am thankful for ________ (insert each kid’s name) because: ____________________. Each kid will write why they are thankful for that person. We will collect all the pieces of paper and put them into their piece of the pie for them to take home! Each child will have MANY messages to pour over! I will also tuck in some treats in the box, too. What a fun way to use this pie project! This could be done around the Thanksgiving table as well! (I should have bought 2 kits this month!!)

Holiday Extravaganza Project 1
I’m so excited to share with you the projects from the Holiday Extravaganza! I’m so sorry I am a little late in posting these, my time was occupied with these two little munchkins, who arrived 7 days apart. These are my brand new grandkids, Stella Rae and Elias Daniel. LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH!
I’ll start out with our first project. This was a gift bag the ladies made so they could put all their projects inside when they were done with them. The gals got a stack of the beautiful Trim the Tree DSP in their packets so they could make their legs out of any color they wanted. Stay tuned for MORE PROJECTS!

Have Your ELF a Merry Little Christmas!
I was perusing Pinterest one day and saw Michelle Surette do a “play on words” with the stamp set Merry Little Christmas. It says, “Have your ELF a Merry Little Christmas”. I loved that idea! You can see her project HERE. I came up with a card and/or gift tag using that same word play – to go with the elf feet I recently posted HERE.
We made this card in Stamp Club this month! This products were from the Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card kit. Here’s a photo of how I made the elf feet. It is like a mini version of the Top Note die, but these are made with the Curly Label Punch.

Christmas Chalk Board Art and Peppermint Truffles!
We did a gift exchange at our weSTAMP Christmas party and this is what I came up with. I bought the frame at Hobby Lobby this summer. I wish I would have taken a photo of it before! It was light wood and had tin Hawaiian decorations on it!! I stained the wood darker with Stampin’ Up ink and sponges and took off the tin.
Do do the lettering I made a stencil with my Cameo Silhouette machine and filled in with chalk, then removed the vinyl. LOVE that machine!
This is my “go to” treat this Christmas! These are SO YUMMY! There’s only 4 ingredients! Peppermint oreos, cream cheese, white almond bark, and crushed candy canes! (You can buy the candy canes already crushed at Walmart!) Here’s the recipe link HERE.
HO HO HO Banner
Here’s a HO HO HO banner that I made for a door prize at our weSTAMP get together.
I prefer to use the sponge daubers when sponging the banner. The spritzing method recommended didn’t come out very well. The ink ran under the stencil.
Rusty jingle bells are from Hobby Lobby.

Mr. Elf Meets Bowl of M&Ms!
Some days I crave sweets so much this is what I feel like doing!
Here’s one of the make and takes from our weSTAMP Christmas party. I LOVE all forms of these legs that can really brighten up a party! I have done witch legs in the past HERE.
To create the elf feet, I just used the Top Note die and cut it equally into 4ths (one Top Note die will make 2 pairs of feet).
Punch the top of the shoes using the XL Oval for the larger punch, and the 3/4″ Circle for the smaller punch. Tape them together.
The ends have popsicle sticks that aren’t covered in DSP.
The link to the M&M’s poem can be found HERE.
