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
