White Christmas Christmas Tag!

Hi, Friends,
Today I am sharing a Christmas tag we made as a Make and Take at the Salvation Army Angel Tree crop, and that I also used as an Over the Top Tag swap at the Stampin Up! convention in Salt Lake City in July.  Here is a picture of the tag:

It is hard to see in the picture, but the little snowman is stamped on scrap paper, colored and then fussy cut and popped up with a dimensional.

Reason for the Season/Perfect Pine Framelits Projects!

Hi, Friends,
It is the day AFTER Thanksgiving, I think I finally found the last bit of flour on the countertop and cleaned it up and I think my kitchen is officially closed for a few days!  Today I am sharing with you another project we made as a Make and Take at the Salvation Army Angel Tree Crop in August:

and the inside of the card:

I had several of these cut out but not assembled, left over from the Make and Take.  As I as putting them together (to make for some personal Christmas cards) I decided that they looked just a little plain (it isn't unusual for me to change things up a bit after the fact) and decided to try using an embossing folder on the Very Vanilla portion up around the tree.  I rather liked the result:
