Moxxie {Neighbor Gifts}

Good morning! I have some fun and very easy gifts you could put together. They make great neighbor gifts. :) They could easily be paired with a roll of wrapping paper & some tape. I used two of Moxxie's amazing lines- Winterland & Happy Pawlidays.

These are 6x6 sheet protectors that I decorated and turned into envelopes! The one on the left holds 3x3 cards and the other one holds some Christmas tags, even some for those furry friend gifts! :)

You start out with a 6x6 sheet protector and carefully cut off the side with the punched holes, make sure not cut the seam that keeps it closed! Then I cut out a 8 1/4" x 6 1/2" piece of cardstock, score it at 2" down from one of the long ends. Then you also need two pieces of designer paper- one to decorate the front side (so this can be any size) but for the insert that goes INSIDE of your sheet protector you need it to be 6" x 6 1/8". Next we will add some sticky tape to the back of your sheet protector and center and stick it the back side of your cardstock below the score line. Next you'll cut off the two corners at the top to make it look like an envelope flap and add a Velcro dot towards the center (I like to keep the dots together, stick it to one side then press down to stick it to the other side) It should look like this...

Now because you can see those sticky strips and they just aren't attractive! We insert the piece of designer paper you cut earlier, the 6" x 6 1/8" one.

Now make what ever you want to put inside of them!

I made some 3x3 cards for one and some cute little tags for the other.

Well I hope I've helped you out with a last minute gift idea!
Thanks for stopping by! :)

You Make My Heart So So So Very Happy

This month Scrap It Girl's challenge this month is Tag's or Bags! I thought that sounded so fun that I knew I wanted to incorporate both into my layout! I love this picture of my second daughter. She was only 2 years old and we had were having a blast playing in the leaves! That was 8 years ago! Where does the time go!? I love that I at least have these sweet pictures of my little girl. The best part is the cute little sweater she is wearing, that sweater was my sweater! I wore that sweater when my parents immigrated from Mexico to the United States when I was only 11 months old! 

Now onto the layout. I used Fancy Pants Happy Go Lucky collection that I just picked up at the Scrapbook Expo in UT (and loved every second of it!). I LOVE this line! It even a some decorative bags & tags with it that I was able to use. I love the tags! They are perfect to do a bit of journaling on and tell the story of my cute little sweater. ;) I went through and inked up the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Vintage Photo. Here are a few close ups of some of the embellishments.

Now head on over to Scrap It Girl and join in the fun! She always has some great prizes and you've definitely want to see all the other fun stuff the rest of the design team has put together! I love the versatility in this fun group of ladies!
