A week until Christmas!

One week to go!  I can hardly believe it.  Its been a busy season (a busy few months as you can tell by the lack of posts....) and so I have some catching up to do.

I rediscovered some leftover poinsettia blooms from last year's cards (Poinsetta Joy) and whipped this one up pretty quickly today.  A remnant of holiday paper past run through the big shot and topped off with a sweet sentiment and a poinsettia flower.



My colleague and I put these together the other night as gifts for our direct reports.  I "borrowed" this idea from SplitCoast stampers (and I cannot find the link now, much to my aggravation).  Turn the little battery powered tea light on and enjoy the soft glow.  Its hard to tell in this light but the little tag in front of it has some sparkly accents on the trees and rests on a white sparkle background.



Last but not least, one of the gifts we will be giving this year is a magazine subscription to an RV magazine.  Magazines are one of my favorite gifts because the are the gift that keeps giving all year long (to quote Eddie from Christmas Vacation).   I picked up this acrylic set for a steal last year (I do not endorse acrylic stamps at all but they will work with certain inks) and have used it a few times already.  It was fun to use a white gel pen to give some snowy effects.



Merry Christmas to everyone!
