A Tea Light Lamp

Yes, Merry Christmas to YOU!

My Christmas was awesome,
because I was with part of my family
(and will be with more next week)

and with my guy, John.  He proposed to

me, on Christmas day, and I said YES!!

I'm sharing a Tea Light Lamp and card

that I created for a recent class at my LSS
Memories of Time.

The lamp was created using some gorgeous

papers from my favorite company,

Graphic 45, and it's called "Twelve Days of Christmas."

The lamp itself was created using a cutting file

from SVG Cuts, called

Maison de Madeline Collection.

With Love

Don't you just love it when a child

brings you a handful of flowers?  

I love the look of sheer delight

and love in their eyes!!

I think that's why I was drawn to this
digi image from A Day for Daisies,

because it captures that wonderful moment

so beautifully and reminds me of my children 
and grand blessings! :)

(Please click on the photos to enlarge)

The image is called "Look what I brought you"

and you can find it here.

You can see that the inside of my card

mirrors the outside and that I used the tag

for a place to add sentiment.

Be Jolly Snowman Gift Box and Tag

Yes, Christmas is just around the corner,

so I've started making Christmas

cards, boxes and such!

I made this little gift box and tag

then taught a class so that others could

learn how to color and make it, too.  FUN!!

This is an AccuCut  #14 box that I was able to cut

out at my local scrapbook shop, Memories of Time.

The stamp set I chose to use is from

Our Craft Lounge and it's called

"Be Jolly."(click on the link so you can see the set!)

The box is 4" wide x 2 1/2" deep x 3 1/2" tall.

I thought it would be perfect for

a wee Christmas gift or treat

and it comes with a tag as well.

Craft cardstock was used for the box itself.
