I am giving away one of each of my new December stamp sets (there are 3)...so you can be among the very first to receive a new set BEFORE the release date of Thursday, Dec. 4! I can't give any clues as to what the sets consist of, but I am very excited about them. I will start sneak peaks on Thanksgiving Day. Here is what you have to do. Tell me if YOU have created something that you have displayed somewhere in your home. (hung on the wall, placed on a coffee table, stuck to your fridge maybe?) I want to know if all of the amazing home decor projects that magazines present to us, have inspired you to create and actually use or show off what you made. Leave me a comment between now and Tuesday at midnight and I will post my random three winners this Wednesday.
Cornish Heritage Farms : Cute Curls (Kim Hughes)
ink: Storage Units Ink
card stock: Bazzill
paper: October Afternoon
felt flower and buttons: Making Memories
embroidery floss: DMC
dew drop: Robin's Nest
paint dabber (pearl) Ranger
*Tip I dabbed pearl paint from a Dabber with my finger onto a dew drop for a custom pearl accent*
Cornish Heritage Farms is offering a promo...and offering double points this weekend... so for every dollar you spend on rubber between now & midnight (MT), Sunday Nov 30th, 2008 you will get 2 points instead of the normal 1 point. Here are the details of how this incentive works: Club CHF
*FF When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness*(cuz who can't use a little extra sweetness, right?)
Happy weekend friends :)
We have many of our projects on display... everything from albums, picture frames, painted furniture to holiday decorations.
Love all you stamps.

What yummy blog candy!! Using a handwritten recipe by my dearly missed Me-Maw and her picture, I altered a clipboard to hang in my kitchen on the pantry door. Love seeing her face each day!

That card is SO adorable. I have made a little calendar...but I love some of my cards so much, I may display them! Ü

This card is soooo cute. I love the stitching and the flower. I'm excited to see the new releases. Gosh - it seems like you just released some!
Okay - I did make something and display it in my house... I covered some real pumpkins with Martha Stewart glitter and displayed them on my mantle. I love them. I will hate to get rid of them. I may stick them outside my door for awhile until it's time to dispose of them. :)

I was born ready! Not really, but I always wanted to say that. Yeah, that whole display in your home thing. I have made a couple of things for others to display in their homes -- I'm not sure if that counts! I made my sister this really cool --if I may say so myself -- collage that she has hanging in her home. And I have made others some various coaster sets. I Have all the materials purchased to put together some canvases for my newly finished basement but alas, when I feel well enough to stamp, I usually am catching up on birthday cards. I may try a new strategy next year to make more generic birthday cards so I have more free time to stamp. Sad story, yes, but true. Can I still win a new Kim Hughes set -- you know I just love 'em!

What a cute card!! I don't really have anything on display in my home, unless you count the scrapbook I have on the coffee table!
Posted by: Libby | November 22, 2008 at 12:37 PM
I don't make anything for the home -- exclusively cards! I love your designs!

I had a luminaria on display in my house until my daughter took it to hers. It will be coming home with me after Thanksgiving. I use a battery tea light in it for saftety sake and it looks pretty. thanks so much Kim.

I like to alter things. Some are seasonal so they don't come out all year long. My blogger heading is a sign I made for my scrap room. I like when mags have altered stuff in them...and actually like to see more of it!

Love the stitching, a great combo with the felt.
I have made and displayed a few things, all Christmas decorations, but not for a while now. Next project is a stocking for my son and hoping to do an advent calendar next year.

Oh boy! Can't wait to see your new stamps!!!
Hmm.. things I have made that are on display... Well, we have LOTS of windows and not very many walls to use!
On the fridge is a layout... It's one that has all our family birthdays...including aunts, uncles, grandmas, etc.. all our family!
Albums are on a bookcase shelf..not open though for show and tells.. My kids each have a cute little mini album.. My son sleeps with his..but its' not a display thing..
LOTS of things in my 'office'.. but it's not really home decor! You know, tags, cards, a fun decorated house (that's about it!)...
I think I just plain 'flunk' in the ol' home decor department...most of the stuff I make exits the house to others!
I do have a gooey brownie treat made 'on display' in the kitchen!!!
Does that count???
:)

Love the new card! Can't wit to see what the new stamp sets will be! I have many of my projects on display! They include pages, canvas', and mini-albums!

Ooh, how exciting!! I got an idea from a magazine to alter a frame for Christmas. I just used a simple wood frame, and covered it with sheet music. Then I cut out a silhouette of a reindeer and put it inside. Then I just added some greenery, and it's an instant mantel decoration! :)

So would love the chance to win, Thank you, Kim.

Unfortunately I haven't made anything altered for my home yet. I have seen several projects that inspire me, but I haven't yet put any plan into action...go figure! :) I do keep a row of my recently made cards on display in my craft room, though. Shhh...don't tell anybody, but I hide my less than cute cards underneath my successful ones on display...I know, really top secret, huh!?! Thanks for a chance to win one of your irrestible sets!

I have a bunch of stuff on display - you know how Lynn's kits are, she always has something home decor related in there! Right now I have a "Happy Thanksgiving" Door sign on display as well as a few things that I made with your set of Thanksgiving stamps from last year!

I made a corner table out of an old window pane that I crackle painted and added spindle legs too. I love it, and it is one of my favorite pieces in my house. Thanks for the chance to win--I just love your designs!

GREAT card!
I have alot of my stuff around my house. My favourite is an old window & inside where the glass used to be are 5 of my quilted pieces, with found treasures on them.
I'll have to dig a photo or re-take a photo of it. I have my own decorating style - alittle country/alittle shabby chic.

You have 3 new sets coming out? How exciting! I just ordered with the double points, but there is always room for more stamps. ;)
My favorite home decor project that I made was the name frame for my son's room. It matches his nursery perfectly and he loves to point at the letters.

I LOVE this card Kim, can't get enough of that swiss dot paper!!
Yes, I have a few projects on display... a picture frame that I made as part of an online challenge at CMK last year, and a Thanksgiving wall hanging that I just made for a DT assignment :) ... can't wait to start seeing sneakies of your new stamp sets!!!! (((hugs))) my friend!

What a sweet card!!!! I have created a couple things over the years, but currently I have a flower picture frame that I decorated hanging in my scraproom, and an altered clipboard I have hanging up as well!!!
Posted by: April Hall | November 22, 2008 at 03:00 PM
Sweet card Kim! I have a few things on display the oldest would be a macrame (remember that anyone?)sampler I made in a class over 20yrs ago! The latest I guess is this year's calendar, made using my bind-it-all.
Posted by: Lyn S | November 22, 2008 at 03:03 PM
Love the simplicity of this card! I display cards as home dec and embellish frames for pics of my granddaughters. I'm going to start scrapbooking soon, so I plan to have some awesome books on display, too. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
