Some new ART and Christmas goodies......

So, DH needed a B'day card for one of his Co-workers. I needed to make it in a hurry. So, I grabbed my DCWV Mariposa stack and whipped up this puppy. I actually like how it turned out. The flower was white so I fixed that up with a few swipes of an ink pad and covered up the bright yellow center with a nice button. I was happy, he was happy and she was happy. Done! :)




So, next up on his list was 15 Christmas Cards and gifties for his co-workers. I think it is always nice to give a small gift that says, "Hey, we were thinking of you.... Merry Christmas!"  For the cards I used half sheets of white or blue cardstock and contrasting trim pieces. I ran 2/3 or so of the card stock through the Cuttlebug with a snowflake embossing folder and added the embellishments. Easy Peasy. For the envies I took several acrylic snowflakes and placed them on one large block. I used a multi blues ink pad and randomly stamped on them. Simple, but effective me thinks. Again, he was happy and I was finished!


For the gifties I bought the jumbo size Hershey Bars and wrapped them up Santa Style. I think these are simply adorable. Besides, who doesn't smile when  you get a big ole hunk of Chocolate....sure beats a hunk of coal. This time I am happy too.....and I "mistakenly" bought an extra Hershey Bar......hmmmm....what to do....what to do......
