Folded card

Hey everyone,
Can't believe Chrissy is just around the corner.
I made this fold card for a special friend of my living in Canada. 

I found the layout on  some lovely blogger  whose on my bloglist.  Will add name when I can remember the name.

I used mainly Kaiser  rub ons for this, SU ds paper, Making Memories alphabet and peel on stickers.

Bag and Boxes

Good morning everyone,

Not long now till Christmas day.  Haven't done a lot of challenges these last couple of weeks.  Time seems to fly by, but I got the Cricut out and managed to cut these cute boxes and bags from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge using My Mind's Eye cardstock.  What lady doesn't like cute bags and boxes...

Here's an idea, you can even use them for tree deckies if you like.  How easy would it be to co-ordinate colour and theme without looking for that perfect ornament and you'd have a one of a kind tree...  :D
I've only cut these cute pieces out large enough to hold some mini chocolates/sweeties to give to the ladies I have coffee with every week.

Have a gr8 ppls
