Merry Christmas!

Wishing every one a very merry Christmas!

Gift Card Holder

It's a card. It's a gift. It's a Gift Card Holder! This was the fastest and easiest gift card holder ever. Good thing too because I needed to make a few.

Here's the link with the instruction so you can make your own gift card holder.

Glamour Girl

This is one of my favorite swaps on SCS. It is a secret sister swap and you make a layout using your secret sister's actual photos. It is so fun to make a page for someone else and get one back in return all ready to put in your album. This is the page I made for rhoshoun:

When I posted by layout to my SCS gallery, I noticed the LO right next to it from the last round. There isn't much different about the two LO's except for the color of the paper!  Oh my, I guess I need to try new things.

Paper Princess Sunday Challenge

Just a really quick post. AnnMarie gave us a challenge, to make a Christmas card using this bag as inspiration:

Well here is my card:

All of the paper is Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding. Die is Spellbinders Labels One. Enjoy! You can see everyone elses creation by going to my side bar.

Box Card

Happy Sunday! My blog sister AnnMarie gave us this challenge and gave us the instructions to make this cute box card. I was already planning on sending a gift card for my BFF's daughter's 18th birthday but still needed to make a card to go with it.  It put a gift card in mine but AnnMarie had some gret ideas - hot chocolate packet, tea, anything that is simi-flat and not too thick will work. The inside is actually quite big. Perfect timing AM! Make sure to check out AnnMarie's awesome creation.

SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 129-33

This card is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch # 129-33. This sketch is super cute!
I like how this card came out. I like all the bright colors.

Mojo Monday 216

Mojo Monday had a cute sketch. I made two cards really quick. Seriously, I just thr ewthese together. Likewise, this post was just thrown together...LOL!  I think I might make a few more and put more thought into them!  I have all kinds of ideas. enjoy!

Paper Princess Weekly Challenge

The Paper Princess Blog Sisters have started some new challenges to keep ourselves on our toes...LOL. This week challenge was as follows:

Since Thanksgiving and the holidays are upon us I want you to sit quietly and think of someone that you are truly thankful for and make them something! It can be anything you would like! (Ideas: card, a box full of goodies, a book mark, a tag, a mini album, or even a scrapbook page about/for them.) Your choice! Only requirement is that you use the color orange somewhere on your creation!

I decided to make a bunch of blank cards for my BFF of almost 20 years. She doesn't stamp or make cards but she always remembers to send a card for birthday's, anniversary's etc.

Here are two of the cards I have made so far:

I cased the card design from one that Melina made ... tee hee hee. Her card is so much cuter.

Mexico?

This is just a simple, cute and fun layout of pictures from Disney's San Angel Inn at Epcot. We were just waiting for our reservation and hanging out inside the restaurant. I like to pick up colors from the photos in my layouts. The title came from a page candy swap and I used clip art for the Three Amigos.

Pillow Cases

I started sewing again! It with not being able to find a suitable Halloween costume for my daughter and then a children's gift swap. Someone had made my daughter a pillowcase once. I thought that would be a perfect gift for someone! Plus, I needed to get checked out on my sewing skills after not having sewed for a few years to prepare for that costume. I ended up making three pillowcases. The two pictured I made for my kids.
