Polar Bear Matchbox...

Well, there are only 2 days left til Christmas! I have finished up all my wrapping, and crafting, but just have to show you this darling candy box I created using the Match Box #1 - Large Die Cut from Creative Cuts & More! It is so easy to put together and decorate! Once you're done decorating, add some patterned paper to any flavor of Hershey's Nuggets and tuck them inside the matchbox. A cute gift to leave on a co-worker's desk, for a teacher or in a stocking!

Merry & Bright...

Here's a fun Christmas card I created using "Merry & Bright" from Deedee's Digis and it's perfect for so many! It's great for Penguin lovers, or for that person who always has to untangle the Christmas lights each year!! This would be great for my sister, Robin, as she loves penguins and I made her untangle the lights for my house!!

Peace on Earth Sleigh...

I have created an elegant centerpiece for my Christmas table using the 3D Sleigh die cut from Creative Cuts & More! This was surprisingly easy to make using glitter paper, and some sparkly greenery and poinsettias for accents! I just love how you can order whatever color paper you want for the die cut, then all you have to do is tape it together with Killer White Tearable Tacky Tape that they have! The sky is the limit in decorations for it! 

I had my card party play with the sleighs and they created some of the most beautiful sleighs I've seen! Once you're done decorating, you can fill this little sleigh with just about anything: cookies, candies, small packages or greenery like I did!!
