Cardz TV 3-D Challenge #6 "Its in the Bag"

Happy Friday my crafty friends!  It's time for another Challenge at Cardz TV.  Can you believe how fast December is going?  It's going way too fast for me!  Anyway, our new challenge is to create a Christmas gift bag.
                             ,
For the sentiment I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Christmas Critter Captions."  This set is so adorable!  I used double sided papers from Doodlebug for the bag.  The bears and stars are stickers from Doodlebug.  The trees were cut using framelits from Sizzix.  I used a mini EK Success punch for the little light bulbs and used a silver metallic Sharpie to color the ends.

Are you ready to join us?  I hope so!  Just make a Christmas gift bag, enter it on Mary's blog.  You have until noon EST December 25th.  I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I would really love to hear from you!  Have a great weekend!

Lots of Hugs,

Cookies For Santa

Hello my crafty friends!  I thought I would pop in and share these cookie boxes I made for my aunt to give to her luncheon friends. (I forgot to take pictures of the other ones.  LOL) After messing around with dimensions, this is what I came up with.

The papers are from Doodlebug.  I used the Apothecary Framelits set from Stampin' Up! to make the window.  I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "Tiny Tidings" for the "May your holidays be SWEET!" and the "Christmas Joy" for the "Cookies for SANTA!."  And let's not for get the Oreos.

Well, back to making cards, treat holders, and LOTS of shopping!  It has been so nice around the castle, it's been in the upper 50's.  Yesterday afternoon I was able to take my jacket off outside.  The last time I went without a coat outside in December is when I lived in Hawaii.  Crazy!  Friday is supposed to be 61!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to hear from you!

Lots of Hugs,
