A Little Thanks


This fun and simple card was made using the OH DEER papers from Close to My Heart .  Although it is a 'Christmas' or Winter pack of paper..... it can be used for many more occasions.....
Each strip is 1¾" wide by 3¾" long with a little dove tail cut out on the bottom.  Use a piece of the zip strip (the stars) then ad your sentiment strip.  Yes the papers are all grey toned.  Beautiful and fun....

Gift Wrapping...... and a gift, made easy

Looking for a quick idea for a co-worker, neighbor or friend.  Who doesn't like chocolate.  The fun chocolate bar is wrapped quick and easy yet so fun using Close to My Heart cardstock, paper and ribbon.    Simply wrap a piece of yardstick around the bar and crease it making it more like a box,  Glue the wrapper together.  Decorate as desired.  Punch a hole through the top.  Wrap a piece of ribbon around the candy bar, then slip the bar into the 'boxy wrapper'  Then put each end of the ribbon through a hole and tie together.  When you pull on the tail the bar slides out.  Fun and easy!

Fun Gift idea....



This little gift costs about $1.25 to make.  Ya know those little clear acrylic frames that you slip a photo in???  Choose your size you want,  Cut a pice of fun paper and slip it in where the photo would go.  This one also has flowers adhered to that piece of paper (the red ones) and I have put some gold ones on top of the actual frame!  Glue a post it note pad on the frame, and sit it on short side so it becomes a desk top post it note holder.  EASY, INEXPENSIVE, and your co workers will think you are so brilliant.  Frames can be found at Wal-Mart, Dollar Store etc for usually around $1
