Grinch Pills

I made up a couple of these for adult family and friends.
I found the print out for Grinch Pills online one night while I was looking for recipes.

I used green christmas smarties and jellybeans. We don't seem to have green tictacs in Canada where I live.

Christmas Cards

 I haven't made cards in a couple of years but after getting a picture of my Aunt's puppy in an email I was inspired. I whipped up these six simple little cards and I'm going to pop them in her mailbox this week as a little surprise. I'm a little rusty when it comes to card making and to be honest, really don't miss not making them.....once in awhile is okay :)

Snowman Soup

I made these up for the sale on Saturday....
I did some in mugs and some just in bags. It's a very simple little gift.

I found the tags online at Yule Be Baking. I did resize them down by 85%.

The little poem on each tag reads:

Was told that you’ve been good this year,
Always glad to hear it!
With freezing weather drawing near,
You’ll need to warm the spirit.
So here’s a little Snowman Soup
Complete with stirring stick...
Just add hot water and sip it slow...
It’s sure to do the trick!




Each little bag contains, a packet of hot chocolate, some mini marshmallows, a couple of hersey kisses and a candy cane.

Fluffles Christmas Tangle

Here is a card I did for a weekend challenge at the site I peek into and I also used my kit that I swap with the girls at work. The challenge was to use paper that was aleast a year old, well this one is over two years old....and also use a metal charm and border punch. I used my new Martha -loop- punch.

Vintage Christmas Cards

This is the card I did with my kit I gave the two girls at work that I swap kits with.

I used old Daisy D papers from my stash and a vintage ATC image.
I did a 'joy-fold' for the front of the card and it still opens like a regular card.

Christmas Cards

Here are a couple of Christmas cards I did with a couple girls at work. We exchange card kits, this time the theme was using Halloween colours to make Christmas Cards :)

I also used these cards for September's Challenge at my other blog, Christmas Cards All Year 'Round :)

Recycled Christmas Card

It was my turn to think of the challenge for CCAYR, so I challenged them to make a card using a Photograph or "Recycled" picture from a magazine or an old store bought Christmas card. NO STAMPED IMAGES were allowed :)

Here is what I came up with for the challenge taking the picture from a store bought card I received last Christmas.

Holly Card

Here is a card I did for the March challenge at CCAYR, the theme was to use all (mostly)green, in different shades. I used my little cricut to cut out the holly.

Pink Christmas Card

I did this for my February challenge card at the Christmas blog. It was fun to work with a different colour for Christmas.
