I made this great gift for a guy friend who did some barter work for me and he loves music. I filled a flash drive with MP3’s of music and then made a gift container out of embossed paper and a mini plastic paint container that I got at the craft store. To emboss the paper I used my Cuttlebug and the Country Life Embossing Folder and I cut the guitars and cassette tape out on my Cricut using the Indie Art Cartridge. All paper was from Bazzil Basics. I loved this little goody and almost hated giving it up!

The short one’s hair is finally getting long enough to put a ponytail holder in it to make pig tails. She is a drama girl who likes to pretend she is a rock star. Gramma got her a rock and roll guitar for Christmas so she needed the accessories to complete the look. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss metal stars for the center and and neon yellow felt for the outer flower shape. I made two of these, one for each side of her pig tails.

When I hit the after Christmas sales I ran into a purse hanger at Old Navy for just a couple of bucks. It was super ugly but my creative side knew instantly that I could switch it up and make it my own.
I busted out the goofy gem stone with a hammer and filled it with a piece of baked Sculpey Polymer clay pressed into the Country Life Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I love that sewing machine – so cute! For the complete tutorial click here: Purse Holder

Have you hit the after Christmas sales yet? One thing that is always a good bet is rolls of wrapping paper but not necessarily to use for gift wrapping. Make some New Years Eve decorations out of pretty paper.

This was the short one’s Christmas present on Christmas morning. It is a 2 foot x 3 foot canvas painted pink and screen printed, using the YUDU, with a castle from the Once Upon a Princess Cartridge and the Cricut. I added embellishments along the top out of felt and a ribbon notion and I added in felt trees to the sides of the castle. We just recently saw the movie Tangled about Rapunzel so I decided to make her blond hair cascade down from the tower window, this was made by pulling apart yarn and tying a bow. The short one was so thrilled that we had to stop everything and hang it up in her room above her bed.
