Happy New Year!!! EXCITING NEWS.....2014 is going to be AWESOME.....

Morning everyone and Happy 2014!!!
I am so excited about 2014....I know it is going to be an AWESOME year!!!
I have lots of fun things coming and will share them all in due time but are you ready for this HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT????

Miss Emma has chosen me to be one of her new DT Members for 

My Creative Time!!


EEEKKKK that is pretty much all I said when I read the email from her!!
I am sure all my followers know what a HUGE MCT fan I am~ I use something from her on almost every project I make and I can not wait to share all the fun new stamps and dies Emma has coming!
If you are new to my blog~coming from MCT to say hello~ here is alittle about myself :)

 I am very luck to be a SAHM from Buffalo, NY. I am married to a wonderful and very supportive husband and I have  two very active boys, ages 12 1/2 and 10 . Between football for my oldest son and travel baseball with my youngest, I needed an activity for myself and I found a love of  card making using dies, stamps and my FAV cutting machine~ the Silhouette Cameo. You can always find me sharing projects here on my blog~Chick-n-Scrap and entering my projects in various challenges with my hope to inspire just someone along my crafty journey.

Please make sure to check out the MCT blog to meet the other DT members! It is an AWESOME group of talented ladies.

I wanted to share 2 projects I made for the DT call....Both of them holiday related :)
First are some 3D Santa Pillow Boxes
I was asked by one of the teacher's from my son's school to make her some gift card holders that would hold more than 1 GC. I love how pillow boxes look and thought these my work for what she wanted. Well they were a HUGE hit and I ended up making 15 for her. Then my girlfriend saw these and wanted some, so I made another 12 for her. They were really fun to make and I had feathers floating around my crafty area for weeks..LOL
MCT Products Used:
Warm Holiday Fun (ornament die and sentiment for candies)
All Around Christmas
Additional Products Used
pillow box cut
Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine
boa, ribbon, eyelets
nugget candies

My next project is a holiday Shaker Card. 
I saw this idea on pinterest~ a snow globe type card using a jar stamp and knew with some MCT stamps and dies I could make this a card with my twist on it.
It is so much fun in person, shaking the chunky glitter around inside the Jar Die cut.
 MCT Products Used:
Christmas House
Stitched Chunky Jar Dies

Well I hope you have enjoyed my projects! I again am over the moon excited and can not wait for a GREAT year to share all that Emma has planned to release! 
The first release sneaks will begin on January 13th so stay tuned!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a 
GREAT 
New Year's Day!

  48. I'm not actually familiar with this store, Jessica. I will try to check it out. But if it is something that you love, that I'm VERY happy for you. We all have to make choices about where we design because we can only spread ourselves so thin, you know! I also have some BIG and exciting news that I can't share quite yet, but it is a HUGE blessing to me for the new year. I'm very happy for you, and hope you thoroughly enjoy your time on this team (as I know I will on mine). I really hope that we will still keep in touch. I love being inspired by you, and don't ever want to lose touch with you. I also hope that you will continue to share ALL your projects in our challenges at Word Art Wednesday this year. I appreciate having your share your talents with us, Jessica. God bless your in 2014 and always. Keep in close touch with me.
    Hugs,
    Karen
