Season's Greetings!

The DT at BBTB2 used the wreath cut from Joys of the Season this week. I decided to go very traditional with my card. Come join us for the weekly challenge, you can use any wreath from any cartridge.

Our Teacher Gifts

I decided to make all three teacher gifts this year, since I had a little extra time. I bought bead boxes and filled the compartments with teacher necessities. (and yes, chocolate is a necessity).
Then I decorated the tops with the teacher's name. Now I just need to get them wrapped so I don't hear that chocolate calling my name.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The DT at BBTB2 used the Santa cut from Winter Frolic this week. Here he is with five of his reindeer!
Come join the challenge this week. You can use any Santa from any cartridge. We love to see your creations.

Hello Kitty Christmas

The DT over at BBTB2 used the Santa Hello Kitty from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. Once again, I improvised. I used the Hello Kitty from the Hello Kitty Font cartridge, and added a santa hat from Paper Doll Dress Up.

"Thanks" challenge at BBTB2

We were to use the Thanks cut from the new Thanksgiving cartridge this week at BBTB2. I don't have that cart, so I used the Thanks cut from Cindy Loo. When I saw this cut, I also spotted this great bird and tree cut on the same page of the handbook. I just couldn't pass it up!

A Doggone birthday card

The challenge at BBTB2 this week was to use the dalmation from the Create-A-Critter cartridge. I decided to make a birthday card with him. Go check out the BBTB2 blog to see all the cute and creative ways the design team used this cut.
