pour yourself a nice fall beverage and enjoy!
When I was invited to join this hop I was at first intimidated by the talent I would
be rubbing elbows with. But I was reassured that my work was up to par
and I had nothing to worry about. I'm still not so sure about that.
I love Autumn.... It's one of my favorite 4 seasons.
the other three beingWinter Spring and Summer....
but not always in that order.

Planning for the Holidays
isn't it cool how the last 14 lines form a martini glass?
purely by accident.... I think
When Fall rolls around I start thinking about Christmas.
( have you seen enough leaves in this hop? )
Yep ...Gotta start making those gifts

I was playing around with an old gift card holder and
decided it was easy enough to make .
It does require using scissors.
Does anyone remember scissors?
It seams I am the only person on the planet that doesn't use a die cutter.
I have one....somewhere....but I don't use it.
anyway.... after cutting it out and scoring and folding you get this
Since I am using Tim Holtz distress paper I gave it a bit of distressing.
here's a tip for you
By placing the score over the edge of my counter top I could easily scuff up the edges
you can get very creative with the closures
I guess I should have lined the inside.
If you make one you could do that
I made one with fabric too.
the backs |
These would be great made out of holiday paper and or fabric
and hung on the tree ( there I go ... thinking about Christmas again)
If you would like the pattern for this little gift card holder
let me know in your comment, and I'll send it to you in an email
Since I failed in the "inky" part of this Blog Hop.
I hope I can redeem myself by giving away this journal

The front and back covers are clear acetate
There are 17 pages
a few pockets and one of the pages is an envelope.
I've added a few flowers and embellishments
but left a lot of room so the winner can add to it.
This would make a great scrapbook or art journal.
( giveaway has been given )
thanks to Lydia for organizing this hop,
and thanks to Leslie for asking me to participate.

Your little purses are soooo sweet! I think they would be great for Christmas too. I have a couple nieces who have reached the 'impossible to buy for' stage but they love shopping! :D And I know what you mean about the scissors. I have a little pair with a spring handle. Make cutting so easy!
