last minute christmas gifts

for those of you who would like to do something for your friends or neighbors...bake them some treats.
I selected a apron pattern card I purchased at "The Cutting Cafe" and printed out a little saying on the apron
it says: I did a little baking just for you and on the side of the tub it says"a little sump'n sump'n just for you.
I also wrote on the tag the contents of the butcket-Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies...my neighbors don't quite know that I scrapbook...but they will find out because my label is on the back of the scalloped tag hanging on the side!
With so much more to get done this week...I will not be posting anything more for the next couple of weeks...Merry Christmas and have a safe and wonderful holiday!

I decided to create a gift box for hand made cards for my mom! She is my number 1 fan of my cards...I know this because she is always calling me to tell me she needs a card for Cousin So-n-So, or someone at her church needs a thank you card, or somone has a birthday etc. So I decided to create a Card box for her and include a dozen hand made cards for all occasions....I think she will enjoy the cards as well as the card box to keep them in.....I am sure she will let me know when her box gets low......(lol) so for now she will start the new year off being prepared for just about anything that pops up!
The box was plain and  purchased at Michaels....and the other scrap materials to cover it are from various stores to bring it all together!

Here is a cute Christmas card to send out to friends/relatives. It was a lot of fun to make and it gave me ideas of using other fun christmas decorations for future cards, for example, you can replace the Gingerbread man with a Snowman, or Xmas Tree or even a large Ornament....the sky is the limit for ideas!

It's Christmas Time

I am so sorry for not staying in touch since my last post on Oct 26th, for those of you who do not know, I am also a crocheter, knitter & a seamstress...and I thought I would just finish up some christmas projects that need to be completed, I was working on a huge afghan for my mom (shhh! it's a surprise...so mumms the word) anyway, got that done and while I was at it I also knitted a beautiful scarf for a girlfriend, and a pair of socks....so that is why I have been M.I.A. in the scrapworld, but I am back and will be posting more frequently...here are a few of the christmas cards I will be sending out this year...and there is more to come...I think it's more fun to send out a variety of cards instead of a duplicated set of 12...hope you enjoy!

Stocking Stuffers

If you are looking for some great ideas for stocking stuffers for christmas...these little gems are great!
Inside you have the hand sanitizer ...You can pick up hand sanitizers at your local grocery store, bath & body, or even the $1 store.....they make great little gifts ...I chose to do one for a christmas gift, and the other is for thanksgiving...you can place on the table at each place setting for your guest to use...I visited the Ontario Scrap Expo last week, and made this as a make-n-take item...then when I got home I did the measurements and reproduced the item....they were fun to make and all three of us in my crop group experienced the fun in making these!

Girlfriends/Thank You Card

This is a card I created for my mom to give to one of her close girlfriends. The card was created from the "Forever Young" cartridge, I blinged out the yellow skirt with gold rhinestones, and I added pink glitter on the other girls dress and around her neckline I added (1) pink rhinestone for that flower center. the edge of the card was punched by using one of Martha Stewarts floral punch, small tag says "Thank You" and the sign between the ladies says "girl friends".

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, it was requested by one of my Scrap Queens' Tyrell, to get together and make some heartfelt cards for the ones who are battling this condition! I made a dozen of these. Here is my creation of sending some hope to someone in need of some up lifting words...the cartridge I used was from "Walk In My Garden" and i blinged it with pink & green stickles, added a pink rhinestone in the swirls of the word hope, I placed the pink ribbon on the upper right corner with a pink flower brad to give it that extra floral appeal. the inside verse is:To My Secret Pal, May the Lord watch over you and keep you in all that you do throughtout your day, May he send his peace and comfort and fill you with blessings in every way, You're in my prayers today and always....Your Secret Pal
