Ok well I have been super excited about my project it has been agony keeping it a secret all this time lol!
Here is my project I made a set of notecards and a matching journal for my daughter to give to her friends for Christmas! I am also entering this into the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge, to make a homemade gift!
Here they are all packaged up I don’t think you can see it but there is a mini pen in there an some envelopes. Each package has 10 cards
I made two different sets ( I made 6 of each)
WHEW!! They were a lot of work, but I really enjoyed making them and I am so happy with the way they turned out!!
Materials I used:
- DCWV Tis the season paper stack
- Pink by Design Rock on stamp set
- PK- Princess face assortment ( my fav)
- Smiley card cart ( pencil)
- Rock Princess cart ( cupcake)
- mini journal ( they were 3 for a dollar at walmart)
- Ribbon, white and red, gel pen, buttons
I cut the notecards out at 4by4. To do the mini journal I mod podged paper onto it and then hot glued a ribbon on the inside center as a book mark. I love that I don’t throw things away! The little packaging they are in was from some floating candles I bought for a party!! They were a perfect fit and I had 15 so I think I may some as stocking stuffers for my little cousins !
Ok now for blog candy…. HMM I haven’t decided what I am going to give I am heading to Micheals tonight lets see what I pick up maybe another I rock! In order to win you have to be a follower and leave a comment !Remember in order to qualify for the grand prizes you have to leave a comment on all the blogs!! We will announce the winners on Monday!
Oh and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for day two and another project ( it is my favorite so far)! I will also post the blog candy I am offering tomorrow!
Have fun hopping next is Margie

What a cute idea. Where did you find your little "short" pens? I have been looking for some for 2 months but no one carries them anymore it seems.
So cute! I haven't had a chance to cut anything from my Smiley cart. The pencil is adorable. This project might just be a xmas gift for my daughter's teacher.
