Happy Winter Friend By Betsy Veldman
This card really brought a smile to my face, and I am sure it will do the same to the one who receives it. Nothing is better than staying inside on a cold winter day. I love to be in where it is warm and spend time at my craft table creating fun winter cards.
This fun card is also a wonderful way to say “Thank You” for that special Christmas gift you received. This is so dang cute! Make someone’s day and mail one of your handmade treasures! Everyone loves to receive a card in their mailbox. Let me escort you on over to Betsy’s bog “Paper, Scissors, & Superheros” where you will find the products and steps on how to create your own winter snowman card.
Decorated Boxes By Bronwyn Eastley
No matter what season it is, or what occasion is coming up, boxes are always great to have. Whether they are party favor boxes, gift boxes, jewelry boxes, home decor boxes, celebrations boxes, or so many more, who could go wrong by having some on hand. With your own personal touch these beautiful boxes will be treasured forever!
Don’t be intimidated by the beauty of this box. I promise they really are simple to make. Depending on what you add to your box, you can go from fun, to fancy, or even to elegant. Let me take you on over to Addinktive Designs where you will see all of the details on this beautiful box. Bronwyn used the Window Box Thinlits Die from Stamping Up to create her gorgeous box. Have fun creating some of these of your own!
Peppermint Hot Chocolate By Elizabeth LaBau
This peppermint hot chocolate recipe is easy to make with just a few simple ingredients, and it is a great way to warm up on these chilly winter nights! With the weather being so cold here in Utah, my favorite thing is to make is a cup of this peppermint hot chocolate and snuggle on the couch by a warm fire to keep warm.
This hot chocolate has a rich texture and just the right amount of peppermint flavor. This is definitely one you will want to share with your friends! Let me escort you on over to Sugarhero so that you can get your recipe and instructions by Elizabeth. Great for any cold day, or when you get that hot chocolate craving. Enjoy!
As the new year approaches, it is a great time to dedicate some time for yourself each week to do the things you love to do. I wish you all a happy, productive, and creative New Year!
