My down-line Michelle made this. We swapped them at our Christmas Party. 
I thought it was just so cute so I had to show it off. I think she did a really great job.

I really wish I knew who to give proper credit to for this card. I believe it was a swap from Brandi Barnard’s meeting in October. I just think it is really cute and shows how you can use the punches on stamp sets that weren’t designed specifically for them. I believe this is actually the punch pals set though.
You probably can’t see it in the picture very well but she used crystal effects (I think) on the scarf the ornaments and the holly and nose. They are stamped on white glossy paper so they really shine and it’s very cute. The very merry and the snowflakes are embossed . It’s very cute and you did a great job. If anyone knows who did this card please let me know so I can give her proper credit.

Sorry this is late. This is a 3D swap that I got from convention. It was created by Tammy Johnson. I love how she used the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper to create a Christmas Project. She also used the Deer Friends Level 2 hostess set. 
I also love that the cute box hold 4 Christmas cards with envelopes. The cards are actually the Note Cards which are a smaller size. They are 5 x 3 1/2. Just perfect for giving with a gift. I hope you enjoyed this swap and be watching for more. Thanks Tammy for your great project.
Weekly Challenge
One of my favorite things about Patty’s blog is that she has something new almost everyday. So I decided I wanted to challenge myself to post a new idea for you each day. I wanted to make it a little fun so I’ve come up with some fun names for each day and hopefully a fun category. I’m not promising that I will be great at this, but I’m going to give it a try. I will be starting on Monday here are the fun categories and what you can expect.
Marvelous Monday- I will be starting with the Many Marvelous Markers. I have a document with lots of ways to use our great markers so I will be giving you tips and show you some samples.
Technique Tuesday- Hopefully I will be showing you a new fun technique and sometimes some old ones that we tend to forget.
Wacky Wednesday- This will be for anything that is different and fun.
Thrifty Thursday- Stampin’ ideas for those on a budget.
Freewheeling Friday- I often forget to use our great wheels when creating projects so my challenge will be to get them out and see what fun I can have.
Swapping Saturday- Saturday’s are usually pretty busy so I will be posting some of my favorite swaps.
Stampin’ Sunday- I usually get a few minutes alone in my Stamp room on Sunday so I hope that I will be able to show you something new each week that I have created.
Hopefullly you will like these and we will have a little fun with it. Please feel free to leave your comments so I know what to do more of in the future. Be watching for them starting Monday and check back everyday to see what is new.
