Happy Veteran's Day

Happy Wednesday all! And a Happy Veteran's Day. Please take a few minutes to pray for all our servicemen and women whose service allows us our freedoms.

Today's post is cased from my pal Angela's site. I tweeked it a little to make it my own and added it to a large white gift bag. I love snowmen and this one is no different. I love the way the nose pokes out! It adds so much character!!! I would love to receive a gift in this bag! I know I will be making more this year! The lady Angela got the idea from has some cute pics of other characters like Santa and a reindeer! (Check Angela's site to get the link to her site) I might give them a try someday soon! I might even try to die cut a small bird to add to the hat! Who knows what I will come up with!!! (I do think I need to add some marks to the eyes to add some depth. )

I hope you liked this guy! Let me know what you think!!!! I love hearing from you!

Remember - we live in the land of the free because of the brave.

Happy Tuesday!

Wow - it is Tuesday again! Where did the weekend go?? I meant to post yesterday but I was playing all day!! So today I have some ideas to share with you!

I was working on some gift card holders - like I promised! These 2 stockings are sooo cute! You lift the flap and insert the gift card inside! Who wouldn't like to see one of these hanging on the tree. I still need to decide which ribbon to tie on the tops of mine! I might even add a cute tag with the ribbon!

The next ones I found on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts blog. These are so easy to make. Cut the paper (she has a great video tutorial on her site - here) and use the word window punch to make the hole for the gift card. Then cover the front with the paper of your choice (I wanted to make a couple in other themes than Christmas), being sure to not add adhesive in the middle where the card goes. You could decorate the inside if you wanted to. And the last item I want to share today is these cute bags I made from plain brown lunch bags! So cute and so easy! (love easy!) I saw these on SplitcoastStampers and thought how easy they would be. I am sure there is a tutorial out there somewhere! When I find one - I will let you know where to find it!!!

I hope you had fun today! Wait till you see the adorable gift bags I made this weekend as well! Be sure to check back tomorrow!
