say Thank You all very very much for stopping by my blog
for the last five days and especially for leaving me a
comment on all my posts.

Blogging is may I say a little time consuming but is also
very rewarding when you know that people are stopping
by and taking the time to leave a comment for me.
I do love doing my Blog as well as making things for
you all to see, if not for you to just enjoy but hopefully
also to give you some inspiration.

to draw my winner.

Day 4 Bloghop

Day 4 My Bloghop

Oh shucks you ladies are just so nice, all popping in and leaving me lovely comments. I must say having alot of fun reading them all. We only have 2 days left to go including this one, oh thats sad.

So far I have had a Christmas Card, A Card Box to store all your handmade cards, and a Gift Card holder, so wonder what todays will be.

Christmas time is filled with lots and lots of giving, receiving, drinking, eating, socializing and spending time with the people you care about, not to mention all those snap happy photos that we seem to take.
The good ones the unexpected ones, the hold you to ransom ones, the funny ones, the sad ones and when the day is finished we all have abit of a giggle and laugh after we see them again, but with all the snap photos that were taken there is always that Special One, so instead of leaving it in the draw with the rest of them why not put it on a Scrap Page. So there you have everyone this post today is of a Scrapbook Layout just for the Special Photo taken on Christmas Day.




In keeping with my Christmas theme I have used the Letters to Santa Designer Series Papers for this layout. I have added Riding Hood Red and Early Espresso cardstock along the side and used the torn paper effect. I also tore the paper for my photo mat in Marina Mist then added some chunky glitter around the edges. Early Espresso ribbon down the other side and my favorite the Rosette done in Riding Hood Red.

Here I have used the stamp set Punch Pals again in the three co-ordinating colours, stamped some trees along the bottom and then I have Spritzed the layout with Early Espresso.


A Close up of the Rosette, again I have used the chunky glitter and spritzer tool.

So far we have 8 ladies in the draw for the prize at the end of tomorrow. So don't forget today and tomorrow, as I will be drawing the winner on Saturday and will notify you.

Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow for my last project and a photo of the prizes you could win.......

Well today I will be showing you all a nifty way to give a Gift Card. I mean really how boring are those cards (if you can call them that) they come with, well here is a personal special way for all your friends to receive a Gift Card from you either for their Birthday, Christmas or maybe Just Because.

I have used the DSP Letters to Santa for my postage stamp on the front (you get a whole page of these and I love them you could even put one on the envelope.) I have white embossed the Merry and Bright from the Merry and type Stamp Set. Marina Mist and Riding Hood Red cardstock as these colours co-ordinate with the DSP. Inside I have used the Designer Label and Word Window punch to make the slot for the Gift Card to sit in and well there you have everyone a nice way to give a Gift Card.

Isn't this so cute with the Postage Stamp n the front.


I will also be offering some Prizes. To be in the running to
win some great prizes just before Christmas you will need

This card looks so effective and really is quite easy to do.
