Getting Into The Christmas Spirit!

Seeing as Christmas is only a few days away I thought I would do a few projects to honor the season.  I realized that I haven’t done much of anything this year in the way of Christmas crafts.  I didn’t even send cards out this year to family and friends!  Crafty Canada takes up most of my time, and everything else just got put on hold this year.  I’m still new at all this so perhaps my New Year’s Resolution will be to learn how to manage my time a little better! Anyways, today I got busy and did a few different projects.  I wanted to make a...

Christmas Goody Bags

I made some Christmas goody bags for my son to give to his grade 3 classmates.  I wish I would have done these sooner to put online, but for some reason I keep forgetting Christmas is next week already.  I thought the kids still had a week left of school!  I had actually started these last week, but got caught up doing some bookends, so….Nothing like leaving it to the last day! These goody bags are a similar idea to the Halloween bags I made.  I used some little baggies that I found at the dollar store, cardstock, butterfly clips, ribbon, and gems.  I used my...

Free SVG Christmas Card

I put a new svg on the Craft Edge website of these two trees that I put on my card.  You can find them under the Holidays link and they’re called Snowy Trees.  I thought I should make something with them to show how they can look, seeing as they don’t look like a very exciting svg.  I can’t honestly say that I love this card, it was just something I quickly threw together, but anybody with more card making skills than me I’m sure would be able to do something much nicer with this svg! I used my Xyron machine to get the trees sticky, then I...

Teacher’s Card

I just realized exactly how close we are to the end of the school year!  I mean, I know it’s close, but I forgot all about making cards for my boys teachers.  I got busy today and made the first one, which is of a pencil.  I still have two more cards to make and I’d like them all to be different.  I made an apple card before with the Home Accents Cricut cartridge, and I suppose I could do something similar again.  There’s also an apple on my Plantin SchoolBook cartridge that could be cute.  As for the teacher’s gift, I have no idea what to do...

Shopping Day

Today I went shopping with a girlfriend at Michaels.  I got some cute Christmas ribbon and the Martha Stewart Scoring Board.  I was going to get the Scor-Pal but nobody in town carried it and Michaels didn’t have it either.  I got the last Scoring Board on the shelf and I was shocked to see that it was cheaper than the Scor-Pal!  I tried it out at my friends and it worked great.  It sure makes it easy to make cards with multiple folds!  The only downer is I think I forgot it at my friends house.  Oh well, maybe she’s using it tonight! So I made a couple...
