The Contenders - Smile!

So, what, you ask is The Contenders Blog Hop?  It's a chance to post some creations that were submitted for a previous magazine submission call but weren't picked up.  Annette Witherspoon has set up inlinkz on her blog, A. Spoon Full of Sugar, for anyone who would like to participate...so check out the rules and take a peek at the fabulous inspiration there and be sure to leave some love along the way.

This is the first time playing along with Contenders Blog Hop, and I don't remember exactly which Papercrafts challenge this card was for, but I never did post it, so here goes!

The film strip image and 'Hey Handsome' are from Skipping Stones Design, the camera and 'Smile' are from INKADINKADO.  I love black, white, and yellow together, don't you?

Snowman Gift Card Boxes

 

I love this little snowman from a set I picked up from Inkadinkado...so easy!  I had a couple of gift card holders to make and you know, those Visa/Mastercard packages come with a lot of extra instructions and they won't quite fit in a normal gift card holder...I even tried to cut out a box with my Cricut but since I only have the personal size it was about 1/2" too small...so I made my own.  Luckily a 6 x 12 piece of cardstock worked well, then I used a die from Spellbinders, inked the edges, stamped the image and added some ribbon.  I made one masculine and then the next two I made feminine...I like them!  Think I'll make some more!

And it's snowing here today..."It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"!
