Christmas Time

WooHoo!  I made it!  All 7 days of the Bugaboo Stamps Holiday Chaos fun.  This is my final project.  They wanted us to use the friday freebie and the challenge is bingo.  I used sentiment, diecut, and plaid.  The little swags under the plaid paper are a die cut.  I am excited to have entered in all seven days of holiday fun!

Mini Treat Bag

I have been working on my Day 3 projects for Bugaboo Stamps.  The challenge for day 3 is gift packaging.  I decided to make cute little candy bar bag holder.  The top picture doesn't show the bag very well so I turned them around and took a picture from behind and that is the bottom picture.  I used the adorable Turtle Christmas image.  He is just so sweet!  The die I used is a very old Sizzix die.  I had to dig far back in the closet to find that.  LOL  Good thing I keep everything.  These little bags are just darling in person.

Below is the back of the bags.
