Gift Bag with Spellbinders Star

More Extravaganza stuff.......really, how did I get so behind on these projects?  Well, if you were at the Etravaganza, you saw them already, and if you have been in the store...and I hope you have....you have seen them already, but for those of you who are visiting from afar, here is another of the fun projects I worked on for our party back in November!

Rosette Die from SIZZIX Alterations

Have you ever made a bottle topper for gift giving? Christmas has already passed, but New Years and other parties are still coming (at least in my world they are!).  Here is a fun bottle jacket I made for the Busy Elves Extravaganza back in November.

Merry Christmas

A quick post for your Christmas morning.  I made all my tags for the gifts this year and most are a version of the one in the photo.  There are a few differences, but the glitter paper and mirra card are heavily used.  The Tim Holtz "Vintage Noel" die has quickly become my favorite die.  Too bad I must retire it for the year.....or will I?  We will be doing a monthly Christmas Club class each and EVERY month featuring Christmas cards so if you take all the classes each month, you will have plenty of handmade Christmas cards for next year...or just ideas to get you jump started for the season to come.

You are looking at this thinking...huh?  Where is the pinecone.  Well, the beauty of the die is the versatility!  It's a pinecone....it's a rose.  Couldn't BE any better.

Bella BLVD and MY MIND'S EYE

My Christmas cards for the year....well some of them.  I can never make too many of one type, I have to have variety.  For the cards I mail out though, I do want something flat...mailable....so I don't have to pay extra postage.  This is a simple design with no extra bulkiness.
