Christmas Candy Caddy

Hello all. While staying home today I decided that I should try and work on something.  I saw a cute video on this caddy that was for back to school and decided to alter it for Christmas candy.  I went and purchased several bags of Hershey kisses a few days ago and needed something to put them. 

I used the believe paper pack from Close to my Heart (CTMH).  I love this paper pack.  I cut some snowmen the other day using my Cricut Imagine and I used those along with Santa both from the Doodlecharms Cartridge.   Santa's hat is accented with red glitter to give him a little pizazz.  The top is tied with some white and red ribbon in a collection of ribbon I purchased at Michael's earlier this Christmas Season. 

I hope you like what you see.  If you have any questions about this item or any additional items on my blog please let me know.  I hope you have a wonderful evening.

Christmas Card/Bookmark

Hello again.  I hope that all is well in your world and that you are enjoying the cooler weather in your area.  It has been extremely cooler here in Texas the last few days.  I enjoy the cooler weather and I hope that you do as well.

I just wanted to share a couple of things with you.  I recently participate in a blog hop and made an adorable box (which is below) and wanted to make a second one and put some goodies in it to give away.  I made a couple of cards and a bookmark. 

The first card I used The Jingle Paper Pack from Close to my Heart (CTMH) and the stamp set from the Workshop on the Go (WOTG) from the Jingle set.  The card design was a design from the CTMH Original Idea Book.  The sentiment on the inside says "The Magic of Christmas never ends...its greatest gifts are family and friends"  This sentiment is from the CTMH stamp set Card Chatter Christmas. 



The second card that I made I used my new Cricut Imagine and got to play with an old cartridge that I love.  I used the Doodlecharms cartridge and cut out the adorable snowman and layered him for some color.  I added some "bling" for his buttons.  For this card I used the CTMH paper pack Mistletoe, a brown card base and the sentiment on the inside reads "At Christmas, play and make good cheer...for Christmas comes but once a year"  This sentiment is from the CTMH stamp set Card Chatter-Christmas.



The last item that I made to fill my adorable box was a bookmark.  I am an avid reader and love to have bookmarks handy.  For the bookmark I used the CTMH paper pack Emporium and some cute stickers I found with the holiday items at Hobby Lobby.  All the ink I used on these projects were from CTMH.  I love CTMH if you can not tell. 


I hope you enjoyed looking at some of the items that I have created recently.  Enjoying browsing through the blog and let me know if there is anything you have questions on.  Much love to each of you.

Christmas Kid Gift Blog Hop

Hello all.  Hope this nice chilly weather is finding everyone in good spirits.  Just wanted to share with you a quick project that I created for my daughter to give her best friend for Christmas.  It is a cute 7 1/2" box that she will fill with her favorite things and give them to her as a cute gift. 

Most of the items used in the making of this project are from Close to my Heart.  I love their paper & embellishments. 

I covered the box with paper from the Jingle paper pack.  I then took a Martha Stewart punch & trimmed out a cute border for the top of the box & placed the Merry Christmas ribbon around the entire lid. 

I decorated the top of the box with Close to my Heart my Stickease from Believe (I love the little elves) & used the Card Chatter-Christmas Stamp Set for the sentiment which reads "The Magic of Christmas never ends..... it's greatest gift are family and friends."  I added a couple of extra snowflakes to make the sentiment pop a little. 

I hope that you like it & I will be posting some more ideas from Christmas really soon.  Be sure to check out the other blogs in the hop.  They are listed below.

Love you guys and have a great night.
