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.

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.

Peachy Keen challenge #40


This is the sketch we had to use for the Peachy Keen challenge, I did a layout for this challenge, and I just realized I did not use a peachy keen stamp, sorry.  Its simple I feel like its missing something.
My mother in law asked me to make scrapbook of his 70th birthday party she asked me to make a scrapbbook album for Christmas.  This is a man who has everything she said he would really enjoy it this way he could go back and remeber his birthday. So I used this sketch below to put in his album.
