A Santa and some Snowmen

Yesterday my littlest turned 3. I just can't believe how time flies - Happy Birthday Samantha!











And what a treat to 'party' in a fresh snowfall. She and her sister had so much fun!














OYE, I've been SO busy, like I know many of you! So I will quickly show you what I did for my oldest daughters pre-school party. Cute little Santa's made using my Big Shot, the Top Note die and some punches. I perched him on giant Candy Canes for all the kids in her class. Cute right? PS - I don't know who the originator of this idea is, but if you know, I give them FULL credit :)
































My Simple Seasonal Thanks snowman, from the Holiday Mini Catalog (111548 available only through Jan 4, 2010) - kreated a cute little gift package for her teacher. Stamped in Stazon Black for a crisp image and snipped out using the fabulously sharp Paper Snips! Using some different colored SU Markers I decorated the hat and scarf. With some Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds I made the 'brim' of the hat shimmer. So cute! On his Only Orange carrot nose, I added a tad more Crystal Effects.
Packaged them and tied them up with Real Red Polka Dot Ribbon with a few dangling snowflakes (can be found online in the Clearance Rack!)






















Hope this inspires you for a few of those last minute gifts. Because of all the hustle and bustle I have left, my future posting will be short, but hopefully still inspiring :) Don't forget, the 12 Days of Holiday Sales ends tomorrow. If you own the Big Shot or like machine, you won't want to miss it!!Check out the items on sale online!

I especially love the thank you notes. If I can find time, I am going to CASE your idea.

Happy Birthday to Samantha! She sure is cute. I bet the girls had a blast in the snow. I went sledding this weekend and am SO sore! LOL!
