December is such an exciting time!

Today we are sharing some festive holiday projects from our design team featuring 

My Minds Eye- Jingle paper line.

This layout goes together quickly but is perfect for eight  of you favorite photos.

Great things come in small packages and this little box is just what you need for a great little gift. 

Fill with candy, money or jewelry.

Add a chip board flower to the front and tie a tag to the top.  Finish with epoxy dots for a little gloss and dimension. 

Who wouldn't be happy to receive this?

If you still need some cards, use the journal blocks and chipboard stickers.

Its easy to create a lot of cards when you have simple supplies.

Who doesn't love something warm on a cold winter's day?

Decorate these little 4 oz mini cups and totes with red and green paper.  

Fill the cups with a favorite mix.

Add a gift card to the back and you have a special gift for coworkers, neighbors or friends.
