Gift Card Holders

Today, my husband finished his Christmas shopping (I'm already done and delivered family gifts over Thanksgiving!). He ended up with a few gift cards. I made a couple of gift card holders based on the stampmycard.com design from the 12 Days of Christmas 2007.

This is best suited for 2-sided paper. I used an assortment of supplies and scraps that were on hand. There is room for a personal message (see the top left image).

2 Sketches 4 You (1 Dec 2008 Sketch)

This is the first time I've blogged! Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my sister showed me the 2 Sketches 4 You site. I thought, "This is cool!"

I needed to make a birthday card for my friend, who is turning the BIG 4-0, and I decided to use the sketch. For my birthday, one of my friends gave me a birthday paper & embellishment kit by Colorbok (Dena's Closet) so I've used that paper for Maria's card.

Other supplies: Cardstock & Ribbon (Club Scrap); Photo Corner (Heidi Swap); Chipboard (Plain Jane); Ink (Ranger Distress); and Patterned Paper, Embellishment ("4" & "0"), & Transparency Quote (Colorbok kit).

Since we moved to a different house in May, I haven't had much time to scrapbook. I'm hoping the card challenges will get my creativity flowing again. I have two more cards for next week (Christmas gift exchange and another birthday) -- I can't wait to see the sketches.
