Merry Christmas 2018!

It's December 1st and I would love to be one of the first to wish you a "Merry Christmas"!

This month is probably full of a whirlwind of activity for you---and if you're like me, your calendar has been jam-packed since October and your head has already started spinning! Ha! But, I just wanted to remind you (and myself!) to take a few moments every day to sit back, relax, and enjoy this time of the year!

The holidays are always a little bittersweet as we spend yet another year without my Daddy, but as our family grows older, we begin new traditions and make new memories. This year I have many exciting things planned---Elf on the Shelf (with a spin), Christmas Activities, fun events, personal reflection, and more!

I invite you to join me and catch a glimpse of the Beccard Family Christmas, the Sparkle & Fizz Way, as well as share some of your own family traditions and activities this month with me on Facebook or on Instagram! And if you need a reprieve from all the hustle and bustle of the year, I hope you come and spend a couple of hours crafting with me at one of my Upcoming Events. Or, even better yet, secure a date to Party with me before they all fill up!

And lastly, remember: "Glory to GOD in the highest, and on Earth peace, goodwill toward men. -- Luke 2:14"

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month. Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception! I saw her use the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and make a pie card! It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends! PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!! So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog! So you'll be a step ahead of the new products! Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Tutorial Tuesday: VIA Coffee Holder

Are you following me on Pinterest yet?? If not, please do! There's a bunch of amazing goodness there! One of which, is an extremely popular pin---my VIA Coffee Holder. I enjoy trying new things and one day, while wondering the aisles of my local Target, I stumbled upon these new little packages of coffee, called "VIA". It's by Starbucks and they are instant coffee singles. Whhaaat!!? Naturally, (because I'm a victim of marketing) I bought some. Then I thought, These are so cute! I want to do something with them and my Coffee Cafe Suite! After that, my VIA Coffee Holder/Folder (whatever you want to call it) was born. I imagine you can see why this is not just my most re-pinned pin, but it's pretty popular on Pinterest, in general. Woot! Now, my friends, I will show you how to make your own with my Tutorial Tuesday! Supply List: Cardstock (I used Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake for the samples above) Check out the Coffee

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I hope that your week is going well! Can you believe that August is half-way over?? I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week! Eek! I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households. (Or all households, really. I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush! I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile! You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
