Marvelous Monday #80

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 80th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
We are moving in the week of Thanksgiving, I want to take this time to say Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be blessed with family, friends, and good food.  I will be going to my sister and her husband's home to celebrate the day. How will you be celebrating Thanksgiving?
My Christmas ideas series continues.  Last week I shared some mini 3"x3" cards from the pattern paper called Let It, Snow.  Today, I would like to share some additional ideas using this paper. The card in this photo uses the same snow people I used on my mini cards. The other projects, the snow people, were cut out and attached to a gift box and a treat holder.

Marvelous Monday #79

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 79th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
Continuing with my Christmas ideas series.  Using a patterned paper called Let It, Snow which has many images of snow-people, I cut them out and added the snow-people to 3"x3" mini cards. This size card is perfect to add to a gift or hand to someone with a little note from you to brighten their day.

Marvelous Monday #78

As the weeks begin to move into November, many of our thoughts are on maybe having some Christmas cards to give to family and friends. I'm sharing a suite called Night Before Christmas. The cards are sized 4"x6", the card bases and envelopes coordinate in traditional red and green colors.

Marvelous Monday #77

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 77th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
As we begin the first week in November, I would like to start by sharing some Christmas ideas from now until December.  To start out with, how about adding a personal touch to an ordinary gift bag? The project today has some patterned paper added to a gift bag along with a matching mini card to make the gift complete. Double click the photo see in more depth.
