Happy New Year!

Banner Wishing you a very "Happy New Year"!  This is the banner that I took to the CH Morning Live appearance, but I'm not sure that you could see it very well on the front of the table we were working on…so here it is again for your viewing pleasure!  I used the Big Shot to die cut the pennants and the letters, so it was super easy to create.  The hardest thing was figuring out how many of each letter to do – I like to do as few steps as possible, so I cut all the "E"s in one pass, etc.  The Big Shot and Bigz dies are heavy duty enough to handle cutting multiple layers of cardstock easily.

Hats Off! New Years Party Decorations

Top-hats I looooove these little top hat party decorations!  I think they were my favourite project from my TV appearance the other morning.  I showed how to make these on air, so hopefully you got to see the CH Morning Live show.  (I'll also be posting a link once I get the video uploaded).  What I didn't mention on air is that these can be filled with candies as party favours.  I did show how you can add a curly label extra large punch out so that you can use the hat as a placecard.  Easy to whip up a few of these in time for your New Years Eve party!

Sneak Peek! CH Morning Live Project

Candle I thought I'd post this picture of one of the items I'm taking to the CH TV studios tomorrow morning – I'm slated to appear on CH Morning Live somewhere around 8:10 or 8:20 am.  I've been lucky enough to have been asked to be on the show again – this time, showing some easy DIY party decoration ideas – just in time for New Year's Eve!

I'll be sure to post more pictures of the projects I'm sharing on air, and will hopefully be able to get a video of the appearance as well, so be sure to come back to www.yamstamps.com to see everything! 

I'm also preparing my first newsletter of the new year, so if you haven't already, please be sure to sign up (box is at the top left of the yamstamps.com site or click here) so you don't miss all the fun & information!
