Some of my Christmas projects DONE!!!!

Teacher gifts this year -
Inside the pizza box - Ghirardelli pepermint bark decorated as well as generic peppermint patties and a beaded bookmark Miranda and I made. Made the little holder so it wasn't flopping around in the box. fits nicely all in the 3X3 box. looks bigger then that doesn't it. I loved making these they are easy but tons of steps and make such a nice box that can be reused later.
Top of the boxes. We have one teacher that doesn't celebrate Christmas so I made her a winter one. it has 60 gems compared to the 7 on each of the others.
Only posting the cover in case my sister is reading my blog. This is the disney bag book I made for my niece Emily. They just spent a few days visiting Disneyland and I wanted her to have a fun memory book for the trip.

Also finished a mini book for my Father in Law. Found some amazing pictures of the last time we saw Granny so I made a mini book for him.
Still working on the year of memories (set to ship Monday) Yikes but I only have the grand kid pages to add names too. Yep down to only names and forget the grand old embellishment. Been a bit skittish since my sexy turkey... Its in an older post if you are curious:)
And need to do a cover for the calendar I have. Found a cool tag set that says 2010 now to cut it.
Love having so many dies I can cut in minutes using my Silhouette.
But I did send out most of my Christmas cards and I am hoping to get the remaining few out this next week.

Finished an order for Christmas cards at the store and have kept up with bag books so far!
AND helped friends with there Christmas gifts.
Wow Thank goodness I did all my Christmas shopping in October and November!
Happy December Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season!

Paper Pumpkin Magic! - 3 layouts and 6 cards

  I received my paper pumpkin kit for July and wanted to create a few layouts and some of the cards. Video shows the cards and layouts - creating one 12X12 layout during the video for Nancy. You Tube Video: Cards: Daisy in Old Olive card  Flower in Melon Mambo card Poppies in Calypso Coral card Card details: Card base is from CTMH July Paper Pumpkin kit Inks - Artichoke, Rosy and Papaya Cuts: Card base from the kit cut in half then the floral front was cut to 3 3/4 X 4 3/4 the solid pattern was cut to 4 X 5 1/4 (cutting out 3 1/2 X 4 3/4 out of the center) Process: I added the corresponding ink to the card base to soften it and then I added the solid pattern and the floral pattern. I inked the edges of the floral and solid pieces from the kit then adhered them to the card base. I added strip pop tape to the frame and the flower piece then added it to the card. Finished with the included sequins. 12X12 Layout: Calypso Coral card 12X12 Layout bits: Kraft (2) 12X12, (2) 4 1/...
