There are always so many things I want to get done over the holiday season between thanksgiving and christmas. One year I would like to be able to get everything checked off my list. Just once! This year I didn't even get my Christmas cards sent out so that seems like a major fail for me. I made them. Not 100+ like I wanted but I did make over 30 to send out to family and friends. I had them all signed and in the envelopes and I brought them upstairs to mail but had to do something in the kitchen and was afraid they would get something spilled on them so I put them up. Do you think I have been able to find them? NO! It is now Dec 26th, Christmas is over and I still have not found those darn cards! Oh well maybe I will still mail them when I find them. Or at least I will have a jumpstart on next year.
Here are the cute little bags I made for the goody bags for her class! Aren't they cute! Obviously these have been all over pinterest and other blogs so I can not take credit for the idea. The one picture I think I used for inspiration came from this blog and was from 2009!
The box in a bag instructions are from splitcoaststampers tutorials section and I used real red and lucky limeade as my primary colors for my bag. Some silver glimmer paper and black ribbon made adorable belts. Since I didn't start with Stampin' Up! until last year the round tab punch that I wanted to use was already retired and I just didn't like any of the other ones for the bag closure. I have a cameo and thought I would just cut them out but I kind of had to make my own pattern and size it but I think in the end it worked out wonderfully and all the little kids LOVED them! It was well worth the time it took to make them all.
