MTME Wonderfully Wrapped

Hi guys just a little something I would like to share with you. December is a busy month for everybody so Lauren from MTME is not having a release this month but has a cute little template that she adding to the rest of the fabbi templates on MTME called Wonderfully Wrapped. I had so much fun with this template I made 2 :) Lets get to the deets!!

Ack !!! I hate to TooT my own whistle but I just love this set. It is intended for a pre-teen gift. Filling the template with gum, nail polish, face masks all those fun thing that pre-teens like. I made a matching purse gift card holder.:)

Lets start with The Wonderfully Wrapped Template. I cut it out in purple and then used MTME digital paper Confetti Star and Confetti Circles. My little tag was made with the Purse-onality cut file and stamped with Secret Santa and Dashing Threw the snow stamp sets. The ornament that I have added looks like a sore thumb in the picture but looks really cute in person. It was simple to make for the tutorial on that click HERE.

The Tag with Purse-onality :)

Here is the Gift card Holder. I used the Purse-onality cut file again. Layer with Confetti Stars Digital paper. Wrapped it up with a little twine topped with a button and star and that is the perfect pre-teen Christmas gift :).

For my second gift set I went with more traditional colors. This for me is a CAS look. I used Pretty Poinsettia digital paper to layer. The single poinsettia is cut using the Perfect poinsettia cut file using Timeless Tradition digital paper.The stamps sets used are Dashing Threw the snow and Secret Santa sets.

The Template

My card.

And those are my samples. This is a really fun template with endless ideas and so easy make.  That is it for me but make sure to check out all the MTME girls blogs for more inspiration :) And don't forget about the MTME DT Gallery for many great ideas ...Monique

 Hello Everybody..Hope you are having a great week so far. I am actually getting things accomplished...Gotta love that feeling :)... I made a little something to put on my brothers gift.

I wanted to play along with The Play Date Cafe this week and the color challenge is to use Brown, Silver and Grey and I also wanted to play at JUGS cuz it is my favorite week. (Template Week) And  something just came to me and I love when that happens. I made this cute little sleigh from MTME... embellished and added this stocking gift holder from The Waltzing Mouse... embellished and Ta Da. Something homemade for my brother. and these pictures really don't do it justice..I have fine sliver thread that  have sewn on the sock patches..way to cute and I am super excited to give it to him :).. and he will be excited to get the gift card that is in the sock to !!!!I am also entering my project in some more challenges listed below...

Exciting News & Home made

Before I get on with my post for today I need to share some exciting news!! Several Months ago I was visiting Mara's blog and she posted how she just received her Twinery Sampler pack. I love Twine so I decided to order the pack myself... Thanks Mara. A few weeks back I applied to be on the first ever DT for The Twinery and guess what I made it !! Yayyyy I am so excited to be working with The Twinery and 22  woman with all different types of talent.... So stay tuned for my debut projects!!

On to my project for today!!

 Even though it is cold I am glad the weekend is here. It is suppose to be -33 with the windchill tomorrow!! Yikes. It is no wonder people get sick.. how it can go from +3 to -33 in a matter of 5 days is just crazy!! I am hoping to light a fire this afternoon and work on my blanket but for now I wanted to post this project that I made for my mom.. She has made some Pepper jelly and was going to give it care packages for Christmas but wanted some tags so people knew what to do with it.. So I pulled out my nesties and some PTI stamps, Twine, Templates, and got started. I have decorated my tags with this fabulous twine that I just Love!! I felt kinda guilty just giving them to her so I took my freebie template from MTME called Custsy cover..Get yours here and made this sweet box for her too :) I know I am such a nice daughter !! Just joking lol... Well that is it for me I am heading out to split some wood..Joking again I will get my hubby to do it !! Have a great weekend everybody!! Monique

Keep Christmas in your Heart

Hi Everybody.. Well as you read this my computer is in the shop!! Uggg. It has been shutting down on me for no reason and when I got to restart it I have got the BLUE screen.... So fortunately I have been able to save all my files but am with out a computer for a few days... Isn't it weird that when something goes wrong with your computer and it starts acting up you feel as though you have lost your purse!! What did I do 10 years ago when I could not afford a computer lol... Anyway I have made a little project that I am entering in a few challenge that I have listed below. I plan to fill this wonder gift template called Shutt-erfly by MTME with chocolates and give it to somebody special during the Holiday Season. The advantage of being a paper crafter is I can give delightful gifts like this for cheap!!! lol... Well that's it for me and next time I post hopefully I will have my computer back!! Thanks for stopping by and visiting me today....Monique
