stocking stuffer

Happy pre Christmas Eve,

I have been hunting for stocking stuffers for my family.  For the past 2 weeks I have been looking for the packs of Snickers Nutcracker.  I  could not find them.  I buy these for our stockings every year  but this year we will not be having them. I ended up buying Reese's to fill in the stockings along with a couple of other things.

 I  bought toothbrushes, mouthwash, toothpast, and dental floss for my kids, I thought it would be something different. I put them in bags and used my expression to cut out a tag.  They can use this stuff after they get done eating their candy.  I thought it be something different.

 

Supplies:

Accent Essential Cricut Cartridge

Cardstock

Foam Stickers for Gingerbread and Christmas Trees

Merry Christmas -TPC Stamp

Guest Designer Imagination Monday Part 1

Good Morning,
I am so excited, I was asked by Emma to be a guest designer for Imagination Monday this is my first time doing this.  I felt so honored for her to ask me. To be quite honest I was so scared I had hot flashes for a few minutes.  I thought I could not do this and got over the hot flashes. I considered this a challenge. Luckily the weekend I did this project I was snowed in and I was able to get it done. 
The video is in two  parts, I hope you like it. I was a little nervous.

Christmas Pillow Box

I hope everyone had a good weekend, I was lucky to get a 3 day weekend we had some snow move thru our area. When it snows in our area it pretty much slows everything down.  Schools were closed and the roads got bad, with ice so I stayed home from work. I was pretty busy this weekend making cards and other projects I worked on. 

I wanted to share a couple of pillow boxes I made, I plan on putting gift cards in them.

Noel Christmas money/gift card holder

Well I hope you are had a great week. So glad its Friday. I cant believe how fast this month is flying by. I have not sent out my Christmas cards and this is the first time since I have been this late, I need to get on the ball. There does not seem to be enough time in the day and evening.

Well I thought I would share another Christmas Card that can hold money or a gift card I made. I like how it turned out.  I cant believe my bow came out so well, I normally have to fight with them.  I will have to try and remember how to make sure when I use my punch that it is not cut off like it did on the left hand side.

I need to make a few more of these to give out.

Christmas Money Card Holder

I cant believe we are in the Christmas season. the days are flying by. I have yet to finish my Christmas shopping.  I had to stop off at a department store the other night after work and there were alot of people out shopping. I dont the recession has had a impact in the area I live in. 

 I am trying to make gift card and money holders for Christmas.  I had saved a money holder card from a couple of years ago, I had traced the money card holder onto to card stock cut it out and decorated it with scrap paper & wrappring paper.  When I saw the vintage images on wrappring paper I bought it. So I cut them out of the wrapping paper.   I decided I would finally put them to use. Below is what the money card holder.
