IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

Yes, this is a Christmas related post.....in July.....LOL!  I can't help it, I refuse to buy Christmas tags every year and I am always making the mad scramble to throw them together in the month of December.  I am actually ahead of the game this year.  I have decided to make several tags a week from now until Christmas.  Here are just a few that I have made.

The stamped image is from the Snow Friends Mini Cube from Stampendous.  This has to be one of my most used Christmas stamps.  Sigh, I still have several more tags to make......or maybe I should shorten my gift list this year.  ;)

BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

Happy Monday morning. I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas holiday! We had the most amazing Christmas ever and I am sad to see it over already. Time to start planning for next year. LOL

I just thought I would pop in and share these cute little hot cocoa packet holders that I made for all of my daycare babes and other young friends. You can find the tutorial here at Whimsie Doodles. Which is where the digi image is from as well. They were super simple to make and took no time at all.

I'm off to start taking down the 7 (yes I said 7) trees that we put up and the many many decorations. My goal is to have them down by Thursday night so I can enjoy my 3 day weekend with no chores ahead of me.

ORNAMENT PARTY - INVITE

How many of you that own the Cricut actually look at the sample project that they always list in the handbooks? I never have before and I own plenty of cartridges. I recently won the Winter Frolic Cricut cart at a Swarm I attended and was familiarizing myself with the handbook. This card was the sample project listed. Simple, cute and perfect for my ornament exchange party that I am throwing in a few weeks.


The card base is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and the ornament was cut at 4 1/2. Super quick and easy. Hmm, think I will be looking a little more closely at my handbooks in the future.

CHRISTMAS GIFT CARD HOLDER

Here is another example of the simple gift card holder made using the tutorial found on the Whimsie Doodles' blog. See my post prior to this one for the link to the tutorial. The stamp is from Stampendous. It is actually a cube stamp and has 4 different images including the quote used on the inside of this project. It is my favorite Christmas stamp lately.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY - CARD

I can't believe I am already into making Christmas cards. I usually don't think about Christmas cards until October, but when I was out the other day and saw this cube stamp I could not resist buying it and using it right away. The stamp is from Stampendous - MTC07 "Snow Friends Mini Cube". Thanks for looking and have a great Monday!!
