Christmas cards

Here's a peek at a few of the Christmas cards I am making.

Pay It Forward Pictures

On my regular blog I participated in a Pay it Forward. Since I have finally finished them and given them out, I can post a few pictures.

This is a box I made for holding cards and then I made cards to put in it. I love the colors on this box! The papers are from Stampin' Up and I used some to make boxes for holding my Cuttlebug folders after making this because I love it so much. The cards that follow the box are a few I made for the box. Most of them were inspired from other cards I have seen. I can't take direct credit for most of them because I usually peruse internet scrapbooking sites when I make cards. I think the cherry card was from the Pink Stampers blog.

This is a recipe box I made with some recipe cards in it. Although I really like this gift, I think it is a bit impractical. Who wants to pull out pretty recipe cards and make them a mess while cooking? Or am I the only one who gets my recipe cards messy?

Again, I like these papers and have some left over I plan to use to make something for myself. I needed a red, white and blue theme for the person I made this for but I didn't want it to look like a Fourth of July decoration.
