Christmas Ideas 2008
Gift Exchange-part 1
I hosted our yearly Team Christmas Potluck and Gift Exchange this past weekend. Each of us brought a stamped gift to exchange in a Chinese Auction. If you’ve never heard what that is…it’s where you get to STEAL gifts!!! So much fun! I’ll be starting to share with you some of the gifts that were exchanged…they were all wonderful!
This one is the gift that I made…I decided to create a simple framed shadow box.
First here’s my packaging…I thought I’d decorate it Stampin’ Up! style!
For my frame, I used both Rub-On’s (inside frame) and Decor Elements (on glass).
Hope you like it!

Santa’s Treat Box
For my club members, I normally prepare 2 fun projects and techniques…but, it was our last get-together before Christmas, so we made this adorable bonus project. It uses TONS of punches…but was so fun to do!
Isn’t it the cutest? You can use it to add some special "yummies" and hang it on your tree or add to your Christmas place settings!
I completely cased this idea from Samantha Parisi’s blog…she made some adorable other boxes too-make sure you go check them out!

Day 3-Holiday Extravaganza
Wow! This sale was extremely popular yesterday!!! Two of the bundles are no longer available! If you wanted the All in the Family Bundle or the Alpha-Betcha Need This Bundle….as of yesterday-they are gone! 
I guess people really love sales!
I hope those of you from the US has a terrific Thanksgiving!!! My husband was off yesterday and we did a lot of driving around & noticed that the radio stations have started their Christmas music. It was so cute to see my daughter sing along with the music. She really gets into it! We got some of our shopping done and also had to go the kid’s school for Parent-Teacher interviews. What a day! I’m just glad my kids got good remarks from their teacher’s. It’s always such a relief to hear they’re doing well!
For today’s card, I thought I’d show you a quick card we made at a recent class. It uses the Big Shot Small Envelope Template…and I think it’s an adorable size to place little notes!
