8 days until Christmas...yikes!!

   Hello there!!  We are down to only 8 days until Christmas!!  Are you ready?  I would say I am about 48% ready!  I have sent cards, decorated the house, eaten my weight (which has now increased!!) in holiday treats, made oodles of little things and have done a teeny bit of shopping!  Guess I better  buckle down and get the rest of my To Do's To Done! LOL

   Hubby and I are working on a fairly large house project this week (because well you know it makes total sense to start a complicated and involved project when you have 91,000 other things to do!) LOLOL  I do have a few little things that I wanted to share with you today though!  Take a look:

First little guy is a gift card holder!  It opens and closes like a book.  I cut my paper 5" x 8 1/4".  On the 5" side I scored at 3 1/4" and folded upwards.  On the 8 1/4" side I scored at 4" and 4 1/4" creating a spine for the 'book'. 

I cut away the folded up side on the left and adhered a piece of chocolate. On the remaining right side I adhered the outside edge down creating a pocket.  This pocket will hold a gift card perfectly!  Easy peasy and so quick to make!  I dressed up the front with some DSP and a cute little candy cane and bow! 

On to the next little guy!  I had this cute leftover bag and knew it would make a great gift bag.

So, I turned this into.....


...this!  I added some DSP and a few fun little die cuts to the front!  I stuffed it with some tissue paper and cannot wait to fill it with an actual gift and give it away!

Side view.  I added matching paper to the back as well.  Fun, fun, fun!!  Hang on to all of your bags, because you never know when you will be able to dress one up for the gift  giving! 

Here is a list of all of the goodies I used today to make little projects:


Ok, I  am off to tackle some of those To Do's!  I hope that you have a wonderful day!  I will see you soonest!
