Beer Bread Mixes!

I make these regular and whole wheat beer bread mixes to sell. They are especially great during the holidays. These were for some of my mother in laws co-workers. I used some pretty paper for the tags which includes the recipe. Also stamped some holiday sentiments or candy canes on them.

Challenges:
Our Creative Corner - food or drink (candy cane stamp and the product is food too!)
Practical Scrappers - Winter projects
Secret Crafter - last minute gifts
Stamp Something - holiday
Allsorts - anything but a card
Creative Inspirations - Christmas gift

Ornament gift card holders...

I got my teenage nephew a few gift cards for fast food places...FOOD a teenagers dream gift! LOL! I wanted to spruce up the gift a little so I made these gift card holders and also combined them into an ornament. I thought they turned out really neat! I cut out the papers with my cricut and embossed the snowflakes in gold. Added some red sparkly ribbon and voila! I put these on the tree and he had to find them.... who says money (okay money in the form of a plastic card!) doesn't grow on trees?? LOL!

Challenges:
Allsorts - Anything but a card
CPS - Year in Review sketch #54 (hopefully this is okay considering it is not a card)
Crafty Calendar - Winter Sparkle
Creative Inspirations - Christmas Gift
Die Cut Dreams - Snowflake Surprise ... either a hidden snowflake or a detachable gift with snowflake. The holder with the snowflakes is an ornament separate from the gift cards.
Our Creative Corner - Food or Drink (gift cards are for food/drink) If this doesn't count please erase this post from the challenge...thanks!

This is a card I created for my hubby's grandma. She enjoys feeding birds so I thought this image would fit her perfectly. The image is also from Dustin Pike and I colored it with prismacolor pencils and OMS. Then I added some puffy paint on the birdhouse and the snowmans hat. Added some flowersoft to the ground and the papers are scraps from my stash. Thought the colors of this ribbon matched perfectly!

Catching up...

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was pretty good but we did have a death in the family. :( My great great Uncle passed away on x-mas eve. He was a terrific guy with a gentle heart and a good sense of humor....he always had a joke about my eating habits. He made it to his 90th birthday and just celebrated a 67 year anniversary with his wife! Those of you that are racing fans will enjoy this bit of information...Uncle Kenny was a faithful Indy car fan and attended 72 Indianapolis 500 races!! He will be missed greatly. The passing of a family member is always hard and even more so during the holidays. The funeral was Monday so I am just now trying to catch up with things. I will be posting a few items I created last week later.
