Last Minute Gifts Blog Hop

Welcome to the...


If you have arrived from Jessica, you are in the right place...

We've got some awesome ideas today to create those last minute holiday gifts.

created at the last minute for those holiday gift giving opportunities.

You may want to create a few of them to have on hand in your "Gift Closet." 
Doesn't everyone have a gift closet full of gifts ready to give?

We just can't have a hop about gifts and not give a few away, so be sure to hop to
and comment on each of the blogs by Wednesday 12/30/15.
Look at this awesome goodies ready for you!!


Online cardmakers class.


One will receive this Authentique Paper Set.



One will receive this Graphic 45 Paper Set.


One will receive this great card starter pack. 

One will receive this Authentique Card Creator Set


Now on with the projects!

So you're at the store, you forgot about your mother-in-law as coming over for the Holidays. But don't get alarmed, you have a gift card! But what are you going to put that gift card in and make it look like something from the hart? This is a great gift card holder from the Silhouette store. I used last year's Recollections Christmas stack with some glitter paper from my stash. This little holder took less than 30 minutes to make. (but you have to know what paper you're going to use for that to happen..hehehe)



The inside of the card...I didn't know the Dollar Store had gift cards...*wow*

And of course...a close up of the front!

Thanks for hopping by today, don't forget to leave a comment to be entered into
the drawing for the 5 great prizes.


Next up...Barbara

Here's a listing...just in case you get lost!!

You've seen the yummy candy...now onto Day 10!!

Again...that silhouette is no joke!! Aren't these trees with the tea lights cute?? I thought so...
I put my little spin on it of course and put some vellum behind the green decorations so the light will have a "warm" glow. They'll make a good decoration for the mantel or table...

 Here they are again...just a tad bit closet.

Well, that's all for today...check back tomorrow for some more Christmas projects! Make sure to leave a comment...see ya tomorrow!!!
