Good morning everyone and happy Friday!! We have been busy the last couple of days cleaning this dirty house...we pick my Sister and her DH up at the airport tomorrow. They well stay until Tuesday... hopfully we will have some warm weather for them. It just blows me away at how much junk I can collect in just a few months!! If I don't shred junk mail every day, I end up with a stack...why are they sending me all that stuff when I just get rid of it....it's a wonder we have any trees left at all!!!
Anyway...enough whining!! On to a much better subject...Christmas!! I made this bag for the
TLC Challenge on Splitcoast. Holly's challenge was * it's a wrap* so I decorated a gift bag. The vintage Santa from Crafty Secrets was stamped with Real Red and it was layered onto a fancy Spellbinder's doily diecut. The papers and stickers were all from The Girls Paperie Tinsel and Twig collection.
I made this card yesterday for the
Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoast....it was called *Baby it's cold outside*. What a fun challenge...it gave me a chance to use the cute little bird, sentiment, and snowflakes from Paper Smooches new winter set called
Swanky Snowdudes. The birds were colored with copics and Stickles was added to the fur on the birds caps. The branch stamp from Impress was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and the snow with Stickles, SEI paper, and ribbon finish it off.
Thanks for stopping by on this beautiful Friday morning...I hope you day is super special!!!

Hope you have a great visit with your sister and family. I always say, don't worry about the house as it's just going to get junked up again anyway! LOL! (Know what you mean about all the junk mail though!)

Well the bag is just darling, Joan. And I love that sweet Christmas card, too.
I have also wondered about all the junk mail. Wish there was a way to tell them, "Enough already!!" lol
Like the gift bag you decorated and that bird stamp is the cutest! I also hear you on the junk mail!!
What a great bag and card, the birds are so cute. We picked up our company at the airport yesterday and now the weather shows mostly cloudy the next few days, always when my in-laws show up, guess they should have come earlier to break the drought :) Hope you have a great visit and I have shredding if you want to come on up :)
I hear ya on the junk mail, Joan!!
