11th Day of Christmas

Photo Album Wallet

Above are 3 of the 6 photos of the photo album wallet. As you know by now, the rest of them will be in the 36 page Adobe Instruction File available TOMORROW!!! This has been a long 12 days for me with all your anxious and begging e-mails to release it now...but it's finally time.

Tomorrow, October 12th, there will be a Pay Pal button with my posting which will allow you to purchase the file for $12.95. If you have a Pay Pal account, you can use it, and if you do not, there is an option to just make a regular credit card purchase. Shortly after the transaction, I will send the 12 Days of Christmas Adobe instruction file directly to your inbox.

You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher installed on your computer to open the file. Most computers have this program already installed on them, but if you don't have it, you can download it for free by going here: http://www.download.com/3000-2378-10000062.html

5th Day of Christmas

Candy Gifts

Single Hershey Nugget Wrappers
Chinese Take-Out Boxes

Giving candy that is wrapped up so cute or leaving a little treasure on someones desk is one of my favorite things to do! I love clever and creative packaging of any kind and that is what I wanted to share with you today. You can give someone a very inexpensive gift as a WOW with Stampin' up! products. I love that all their ribbons and embellishments are made to coordinate so beautifully with their papers! The instruction file contains additional ideas for wrapping and holding Holiday candy.

Edited to add: As posted on day 1, each day I'll show you one or two pictures of each project and give you an explanation of what it is. On the 12th day, if you'd like more information, you can purchase the entire Adobe file instructions for $12.95 which includes additional color photos, cutting measurements, and directions for completing all 12 Days of Christmas for yourself or for a class. These projects are designed using one package of Holiday Treasures Designer Series Paper and a few sheets of Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip cardstock.

Thank you for all the wonderful e-mails, however, you DO have to wait until the 12th day to purchase the instruction file. SORRY *Ü*
