Teacher Gifts- Hot Chocolate holders

Happy Friday everyone!

Are you all ready for New Years? I can not believe how fast this year has gone by.. My MIL was right once you turn 21 time flies! LOL! I remember I couldn't wait to turn 21 so I could go out and party! I am way past that age now and time just flies by.

Today I have some more coco holders to share with you.

I hope you enjoy and if you want the measurements check out the post before this one and it has all the instructions.
I hope you all have a SAFE and happy New Year!

Teacher Gifts- Hot Chocolate holders

Hi crafty friends,

I wanted to share with you some of the teacher gifts I made for Christmas.
These are hot chocolate holders

The one on the left, the flowers are cut from Flower Shop, and the right one the mittens are cut from Winter Frolic

Both of these are cut from Art Philosophy, and then for the tree I used the stamp set that came with the Art Philosophy package.
These coca cards are so easy to make and really do make nice gifts for teachers or co-workers.
Here are the measurements:
Cardbase is cut at 4.25 x 11 score at 4.25 and 10 fold along score lines
rectangle on front is cut at 4x3
then decorate as you desire.
the center the coca packet at the top and the middle on the inside of the card, then punch two holes along the top- and secure the coco packet with a ribbon through the two  holes.
Check back tomorrow and I will be showing some more of the holders I made.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS BLOG HOP & WINNERS!

Good morning all of my crafty friends.

Welcome! Today I am hosting the Christmas Decorations blog hop and I have a great line up of awesome crafters who have all created awesome decorations for your inspiration. Please make sure you visit all the blog in the hop list and leave a comment on every blog to be eligible to win my grand prize Cricut Imagine Cartridge. Plus, all of these ladies put a lot of time into their projects and would love for you all to visit them.

But first I must announce the winner of the Christmas Cards blog hop last weekend. The winner is Sherrie K, you won Cricut Cartridge Winter Lace. Please email me at scrapperbecka at yahoo dot com by Dec 15th or I will have to draw a new winner.
Also, I mailed out the blog candy from the Fall Decoration hop yesterday, so you should be getting it next week.
Ok, so on with the show. So, I thought it would be neat to have a Christmas Decoration blog hop because I always see the cutest decorations in the stores but they are so expensive. And I always think to myself "Hmmm... I could totally make that."  And of course I have so much crafting stuff, I wouldn't even have to buy anything.. LOL!  So I thought I would put it to the test and see what I could come up with. Plus, I wanted to see other ideas & projects so I could try those too.
So if you visit my blog a lot than you probably know by now that I love to make banners. And I love the $1 bin at Michaels. Yes I know I did it again... I make a Christmas banner out of the $1 bin coasters. Who knew these little coasters would be so handy. LOL!
Anyways here is the banner I made:

SSD DT Challenge- It's Cold Outside

Hi Everyone

This week over at Sweet Sassy Diva, the DT was asked to make projects using this picture as inspiration.

So I made this cute little snow angel card.

I used Winter Frolic, and cut the snow angel at 3.5" then I cuttlebugged the card with the snowflake embossing folder and stamp is from My Pink Stamper Winter stamps.

Here is how I set it up on the Gyspy and the paper on the mat

CJToo DT Challenge Christmas Organization & Blog Hop Gypsy cut file

Hi all,

This week Craft Junkie Too's design team was challenged to come up with a Christmas organization project. I must say though I am not organized at all this year. Normally by this time of month I have all my Christmas shopping done and my house is already decorated. Not this year, I am so far behind and I really don't have a reason for it. We just now got our Christmas tree tonight, and we didn't even decorate it. Crazy huh???
Well for this project I made a holiday planner for 2011, so maybe next year I will be a little ahead of the game.

I saw this project on a couple of different blogs and thought it was awesome, so I tried it. The cuts are from Winter Frolic and lettering from Gypsy Wanderings. I found the inside pages at http://www.christmas.organize.org/

Sweet Sassy Diva's Design Team- Post It Craft Paper Blog Hop!!!

Hi Everyone

Welcome to the Sweet Sassy Diva  Design Team Craft Post It Paper blog hop! The blog hop today is featuring 3M Post It Craft paper! If you haven't tried this paper yet you have too!  If you arrived here first, be sure to head on over to SweetSassyDiva's blog http://sweetsassydiva-gspot.blogspot.com/ to see  the wonderful project that she made!

If you haven't guessed it by now this blog hop is sponsored by 3M! And you are not going to want to miss the Grand prize, it is Post-it paper and a Post-it paper purse dispenser to be given away to one lucky person. Bobbi Jo over at Sweet Sassy Diva will pull a name from the comments on all of the blogs, plus there will be other cool blog candy along the way.  So make sure you hop on over to all blogs on the hop and leave a comment on all the awesome projects today.

This paper is awesome, it is sticky on one side like a post it note. It is re- positional so it makes layering those cricut cuts a breeze.

For this blog hop I made 2 Christmas cards using mostly the Post It Craft Paper. What I like most about this paper is the layering possibilities. It takes the whole gluing part out of the equation.

I used my Gypsy to set up these cuts, here is what it looked like and how to set-up the paper on the mat. I will add the cut file later today.

Recipe:
Craft Post It Paper: Sunshine, Cosmic, Crimson, Jungle, Evergreen
Cuttlebug Christmas Noel Embossing folders
