Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas from Paper Craft Planet!

Happy Monday Morning Everyone!!!

Today is Day Seven of our 12 Days of Christmas campaign over at Paper Craft Design Team and I am your hostess! For 12 days, the Super Novas of Paper Craft Design Team will each show you some awesome and easy gift giving ideas, and you can play along and win prizes by participating in a scavenger hunt!

Today, I am excited to show you a lunchbox ornament that can be hung on your christmas tree with a little surprise inside!! I found this lunchbox in the $1 aisle in Target a long time ago and thought it would make a fun ornament to hang up. I altered the front of it and loved that when it is opened up - there is a little surprise waiting for a special person :) Here is a picture of the ornament as it hangs on the tree:

2 Sketches 4 You - #41 - Merry Christmas!

Good Morning Everyone!

Happy Monday! Our monday morning is off to a snowy start and the harvested cornfields look beautiful covered in white winter magic :) Today over at 2 Sketches 4 You, Kazan has a lovely sketch for us to play with and this week's sponsor is g.c.d studio and the DT was so excited to play along using their amazing holiday collection of papers from the Christmas Sleigh Collection - and also with their beautiful buttons and brads! I loved the fact that this collection came with different textures of papers from clear acetate, to felted papers, to shimmery glitteriness of the different papers! We were so excited to use these papers that we all made 2 cards this week - one with Kazan's awesome sketch #41 and another one from whatever layout we liked. Here is my card using Kazan's beautiful sketch:

I attached the clear acetate paper to the DP with some Zip Dry in the corners and added some rhinestones in the corner. I used the chipboard and used the lovely wreath stamp from Verve that I cut out and then popped up on dimensionals on the piece of chipboard:
