More Christmas Tags

Ok... I know these are more like card fronts but I made these for the PCMB Christmas Tag swap. I hand cut the snowman head....not sure about it....he looks a little dorky. Cute but dorky.... maybe?

The little sledding bears is an image from my friend Janis. This is such a great set. I can't wait to see what she does with it. I used a cuttlebug snowflake folder and glittered the front like crazy.... sorry doesn't show up well in the pic.

I can't wait to see what the other ladies have created for this swap.

Happy Crafting -

The Secret Life of Bees

I thought it might be fun to read some books which have been made into a movies. I must read the book first. Personally, I feel the book is always more detailed. So, if a book becomes a movie.... do you read the book first? What have you read/watched that you loved/hated?

Towards the end of summer, I read The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I really enjoyed the book. There are two versions of the movie on the DVD; theater version and director's cut. I watched the theater version this afternoon. It was really good but lacked some of the details from the book. I might watch the director cut later in the week.

Although, I loved Queen Latifah in this. I found it interesting to learn Will and Jada Smith were some of the producers.

Have a great day!

Rasberry Suite Color Challenge #18

Dawn McVey is a very talented papercrafter. You can find he blog here http://www.dawnmcvey.typepad.com/ . I enjoy admiring her style. She recently posted a color challenge on her blog. I decided to give it a try. I have been working on Christmas tags. I thought it might be fun to see what I could come up with for an inexpensive gift sack. I love using lunch sacks.

This is what I came up with. I hand drafted the elf shoes and cut them out. I love how this gift bag turned out.

Thanks for looking.
