Marvelous Monday #84-Merry Christmas!

This is the Monday before Christmas.  I would like to take this time to say Merry Christmas to you and your family.  How will you be celebrating Christmas? For me, I will have dinner with my three daughters tomorrow, on Christmas Eve.  Lasagna and salad are on the menu.  On Christmas Day, we share a meal and fellowship with my extended family. We also play the dice game, which has become a family tradition for many years. 
Today, I have a quick idea to make your own wrapping paper if you have a small gift to wrap.  Simply take a piece of computer paper and stamp images onto the computer paper.  The stamping can be done any way you would like it to be.  On my sample, I took the stamp set called Perfectly Plaid and stamped Merry Christmas in red and the trees in green. My only suggestion would be to leave a little bit of open space.

As we begin the start of October this week, my thoughts are to share some Thanksgiving ideas over the next four weeks. To start out with, I have a Thanksgiving card using kraft color card bases, and envelopes sized 4x6.  The sentiment on this card reads, "gather together & give thanks."  When I create a card, I generally leave the inside blank to add a personal message.  On this card, I added a decorated 3x4 card from the Memories & More Magnolia Lane suite. The kraft card bases also have a silver-lined box that adds a polished finish to the inside of the card.
