If you're going to celebrate, of course it should be in a BIG way! These little guys sure are having fun, and this sketched seemed to fit this image just perfectly. The image is part of the monthly progressive challenge at From the Heart, and of course it took me to the last day of the month to get it done! I had good intentions to do it earlier, but you know how that goes...Enjoy your Saturday ~ Happy Birthday Jan!

The Letter J ~
Tuesday, November 26, 2013
I needed to send a note out the other day, and I was thinking how nice it would be to have some note cards with my initial.
I remembered that I had gotten an initial stamp from my fabulous CTMH friend, and so I put a few together.

By Golly ~ Get Jolly!
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
If you're looking for a fun way to take a bottle of sparkling wine or an adult beverage to a holiday gathering, perhaps this may be just the thing you're looking for! It's a gift and a card all rolled into one, and you can still write a personal message on the back.
I just adore the Pig Tangle image and sentiment set that I used here, but the possibilities are certainly endless as you've seen by me making a few of these now.
Just another quick holiday gift idea ~ Enjoy!

Geronimouse!
Monday, November 18, 2013
It's a Fancy Fold kind of Monday!! I haven't made one of these in a while, and they always come to mind for me when I'm in a pinch for a few reasons; I need something unique to present a little treat; I need a gift certificate holder, or there just aren't any layouts coming to mind to use at the time!
Of course we've all got the upcoming holidays on our mind, so here is another sample:
If you haven't made one of these before, here is a tutorial to follow keeping in mind that you can make different sizes to suit your needs!
Have a very Happy Monday!

Have an ICE Christmas ~
Sunday, November 10, 2013
I can blame this one on Pinterest! It all started with seeing some tags decorated with doilies, and then I thought I'd make a card out of it. I already had this stamp colored in so I incorporated it and it just took off from there. Can't say I'm crazy about it, but I do like the image and the sentiment!
Have a Super Sunday (Go Packers)!
