Christmas book

I am offering a Christmas book again this year. I am offering this December 9th from 9-noon or December 10th 1-3pm. This year I am trying something new. This can be purchased as a kit to assemble at home or you can make it at my workshop. This doesn't require any stamping.

The album is one of Close to my Hearts new items for this catalog. It is a green album with page protectors.  Also in this kit you will get a set of stickese (stickers) and pre-cut pieces.

Here are the pictures:

This is the first page in the book. I wanted you to see that they have page protectors.

Here is the cover of the album

This is the start of the inside pages

Cricut and Wishblade Dust covers

So I have ventured into a new crafty item. I have decided to try my hand at making covers for my Cricut and my Wishblade. I actually think they turned out pretty good. I definitely like the Cricut ones the most. So I will be selling some of the Cricut ones at my Holiday boutique on December 3, you will have to stop by and take a look!

Here are some photos:

This is my wishblade cover

This one is lined with pink flannel

This one is also for my wishblade so I can have it match my cricut

This one is lined in black

This is the cricut cover

You can't really see this well but I put a pocket on the side for my blades and gypsy cord

This is lined with black as well.

I am off to make more in different patterns. Can't wait to see how they turn out!!!
