Some of my Favorite Things

Here are some of my Favorite cards this year. So quick and simple.

I just love my Mr. and Mrs. Claus cards,  I saw them on Pinterest and just had to make them.

This I cased from my sister. 

Besides baking I love making Christmas cards, bags and boxes. 

Merry Christmas Everyone.

More Christmas Cards

As I have said before I love everything about Christmas and the Holidays. Here are some of the other cards I made this year.

Twelve Days of Christmas Day 12

Today is the last day of my Twelve Days of Christmas projects. I love making gift bags for my friends and family. So Christmas is no different. I used Stampin up Gift Bag Punch Board. Todays gift bag is an extra large bag I made to hold a Christmas ornament for my Vegas Red Hat Diva's Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap. More that later. I searched you tube last year looking for a way to make large and extra large gift bags and found several. The one I found to be the most helpful was Tuppence Coloured: In the bag  and here is her link http://2dcoloured.blogspot.com/2015/06/in-bag.html .

Supplies needed

Card Stock                      Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

These gift bags are very easy to make, and what a way to  use retired DSP.  I hope you have enjoyed this years Twelve Days of Christmas. Leave me a comment on any one or all of the projects.

I am starting things off with a Halloween Challenge that my sister Brenda and I have been talking about for some time. All you need to do is make a Halloween card,  anything goes, so get creative  and post it below. I love this time of the year and have a granddaughter and great granddaughter that have birthdays before Halloween. So it let's me very creative! Start date is Friday September 22nd at 7am and ends Monday September 25th at Midnight.  The winner will be announced Tuesday Morning. Then part two will begin on Friday September 29th and ends Monday October 2nd. The winner will be announced Tuesday October 3rd. The prizes are a surprise and will be announced along with the winner.  This way if you miss the first one you will have a chance to play in the second one.

Birthdays, Shopping and More

Over the last few months I have been busy with making birthday cards, gifts bags and more!. Some items I have forgotten to take photos. I have been making gifts bags xl size for my Red Hat Ladies for their birthday days using Stampin Ups gift bag punch board, cards from Paper Pumpkin and mine own of course.

Enjoy! I made 4 of these and 3 Watermelon gift bags and cards. So far this is the only picture I could find. I will post more as I find them. These gift bags are great and so easy to make. I found it is great way to use old DSP.

If anyone wants to know how I made this lovely gift bag, just comment or email me at jackielwatson2009@hotmail.com. 

Welcome to Fall

Well here is my first card in 2 yrs, what can I say. Shameful. I have made cards for family and friends. Just didn't post them.

So in the next few days I am going to be posting some things I have been working on. I hope you enjoy them. Later in the week I am hosting a Halloween Card Challenge. I hope everyone joins in.

I just love the Coffee Cup stamp sets and thinlits from Stampin Up this year and have made quite a few cards and projects with them. Since I haven't been very creative I had help, I found this card on Pinterest although I forgot the blog. I just couldn't wait to make one myself. There a few changes since I didn't have all the supplies used. I like the way it came out, makes want a cup of coffee.
