Holiday Thank You Notes

Hello! The other day when I was making some holiday greetings, I remembered to create a couple Christmas thank you cards as well. This one was created with a set of  Papertrey Ink snowflakes and sentiment dies and Doodlebug's Home for the Holidays collection.

Some of your holiday thank you notes can be left over Christmas cards without sentiments on the front like this Santa design.

This adorable glittered Santa accent is also from Doodlebug's Home for the Holidays line. I gave him a great big piece of candy to hold...now isn't he sweet? ;)

I'm going to go now and work on a holiday scrapbook page. I haven't created a page since September so I'm feeling a bit rusty. It's a page using more Doodlebug goodness that I'll be sharing with you sometime in December. :)

I hope you have a super day!

Top Dog Dies Advent Calendar

Hello! Hope you had a splendid weekend! If you enjoyed my Advent calendar share from Friday, you just might like this one too. Made from the adorable Thumb Notch Box die from Top Dog Dies, you can use these tiny boxes to count down the days before Christmas by filling them with candies small ornaments and holiday activities.

Each little box is topped with a pretty snowflake made with another one of my favorite Top Dog Dies, The Snowflake Trio Set. Then I numbered each box, wrapped them with colorful washi from Doodlebug Design and added a little Doodle Twine bow.

Cute? By the way, those candies are to die for! They're dark chocolate covered almonds from Whole Foods. They're a staple at our house! Whenever I get a sweet tooth attack, a couple of these save the day! ;)

Speaking of little chocolate candies...I bet these boxes would make adorable packaging for homemade truffles! :)

What would you make with them?

Advent Calendar

Ahhh...to be a kid at Christmas time! Remember visits to Santa Claus and the daily anticipation of the Advent calendar? Recently I created one of these calendars with a little metal mailbox tin and Doodlebug Design's Home for the Holidays collection. 

Wrapped up in each paper roll is an activity, money or goody coupon! I can't wait until December 1st! It'll be great fun to see how excited Christopher is to open one of these each morning!

If you don't do Advent calendars or already have one, this tin could be used to deliver goodies to your neighbor or tucked under the tree with a special gift inside!

Hope you enjoyed today's project! T.G.I.F!
