Merry Christmas

Wishing you a  very Merry Christmas as you celebrate with family and friends. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and look forward to more love and laughter today as we continue to celebrate the birth of Jesus.   

My Christmas Favors

 Not sure where the time has gone, but Christmas is only a few days

away and I still have to bake cookies!  Sydney is coming over on Friday and she will be baking and helping me get ready for Christmas Eve.  Today I am posting my favors for the Christmas Eve dinner table.  They are quite simple, but very pretty~~in my opinion~~lol.  I used the clear 2" x 2" boxes I purchased at Clearbags.com a couple of months ago.  They are filled with Christmas Hugs and Kisses and the cute little Santa Hat Kisses purchased at Target.  Sometimes all you need is pretty ribbon to make pretty favors.  I did not even make tags for the favors this year!  Have a great day!

Kathy Z's Favor

Today's favor was made by my friend, Kathy Z.  She did not use a die or framelit, just her paper trimmer and scoreboard.  She used Crumb Cake cardstock for the box, Candy Cane Lane DSP and a sentiment from the Candy Cane Christmas stamp set.  The little deer face was stamped with the Jolly Friends stamp set and then cut out with the Cookie Cutter builder punch.  Inside each box is a Santa shaped Hershey bar which Kathy purchased at Walgreens.  I am amazed at the favors Kathy makes.  But what truly amazes me is that she makes 80 of these for the teachers at her daughter's school!  (Her daughter is an elementary school principal.)  Thanks for sharing, Kathy.  Have a great day and stay warm!

A Card For Sydney

Today's post is that of the fun card I created for Sydney.  The little bird is from the Penny Black stamp set Winter Wonderland while the North Pole image is from Stampin' Up's Christmas Magic.   I used Spetrum Noir markers to color the North Pole sign and the little bird in Nipper's colors.  The sentiment is from the retired Endless Wishes stamp set.  The addition of glittery snowflakes finished off the card.  Needless to say, Sydney was thrilled with the Nipper Christmas card!  Have a great day and stay warm.
