Holiday Gifts for Friends/Neighbors...

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Well I managed to finish my project!!!

YEAHHHH!!! Soooo now I'm trying to get my

Christmas Cards done.... Started on them last

night sooo if I work really hard and fast... I should

have them done by Friday.... Well maybe before Friday

cause I gotta make a Lasagna and wrap a gift and make

some fudge to take to the In-Laws this weekend.... So I guess

I'll be working in Hyper speed... :o) But today... I want to show

you what I made for my neighbors and friends... :o)

OK.. Now I Know what you're thinking...

Your Thinking... THERESA we seen these Ornaments

YESTERDAY!! Well... Yes you sort of did...

But these Ornaments are the Larger ones...

They are 3 1/4" Ornaments and I used

my Stampin' Up Re-Inkers to color these babies!

And MAN these are a much deeper color than the

ones used with the Pledge Cleaner... :o)

These are also the Large 3 1/4" Ornaments... but I used the Pledge

on these.... Can you see the difference between the colors... :o)

They are both BEAUTIFUL... but I'm sort of partial to

the ones that I made with the Re-inkers.... I think I

like the deeper colors more.... But... they needed to

be packaged in something you ask... Oh yes...

You are right.... Look down for more... :o)

WOW!!! Look at the pretty boxes I made!!! :o)

Thanks to Tammy over at http://www.scrapcavecreations.com/

She made this wonderful Cut file for Design Studio....

I asked her if I could use it and she was soooo

Super kind to let me have it! THANKS TAMMY!!!! :o)

The boxes cut out soooo quick which saved me a lot

of time... :o) I decided to make the tops with

transparency sheets.... they cut out great too....

I just had to use my bone folder a few times

over the scoring areas... but other than that it was

EASY PEASY!!!! :o)

Sooo Of course I needed to add a little

something to them.... since I couldn't get the

etching to show up better... Soooo I went the Vinyl Route...

I used my Cartridge "When it's Cold Outside" and cut

the snow flakes out at 2"... The vinyl is all

from http://www.expressionsvinyl.com/ 

I love that they offer the Gold, Silver and Copper in Metallic...

It just helps make the project pretty! :o) Their

prices are also AWESOME for Vinyl... :o)

I also want you to know that I made 2 snowflakes per

Ornament... sooo there is one in the front and one

 in the back.... Well... What do you think of my gifts???

I will be making a Brown Sugar Cake to go along

with these handmade Ornaments for all of my

wonderful Neighbors and friends.... Thanks sooo

making these and hope everyone likes them as

much as I do! I'll be back tomorrow with something... :o)
