December Key Ingredients Blog Hop
Good morning! Today I'm joining up with our fabulous Key Ingredients design team to share more projects using the December Key Ingredients kit! So now for the question of the week.... are you ready for Christmas!? If you're anything like me then you probably have a list of things-to-do that seems to grow even in your sleep! One of the things on my list this week is to make gift-card holders. Since the gift card doesn't look special on its own at least the packaging will look special!
While I was in Cincinnati teaching classes a couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting lots of creative ladies at the stamp store! One of the women brought in a gift card holder and I knew I wanted to try something like it for my gift cards this year.
It was really easy to make! I cut out a rectangular pocket sized to hold the gift card (don't forget to leave space on the bottom and sides for the sticky tape). Then I added the ribbon to make it look like a gift before adhering the pocket to the card. Then I added a strip of ribbon around the gift card and left a tab at the top where I attached the red bow that will be used to pull it out of the pocket. I finished it off with a penguin cut out from the patterned paper, the Merry Christmas sentiment from Woodland Winter, and a couple snowflake brads from the kit.
There's still time to get in on the fun ingredients in this month's kit by joining us as a subscriber through December 31st! And the great thing about this kit is that the supplies can be used throughout the winter... not just for Christmas! Click here for more info.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful week leading up to Christmas! Don't forget to check out the rest of the design team's creative projects!

Where does the time go!?
Today Madelyn is three months old and I find myself wondering "Where did the time go?" I remember everyone reminding me to cherish those precious tiny moments because they never last long enough. Well, you all were right! Each morning when I pick out an outfit for Madelyn to wear I find one of her newborn outfits that doesn't fit anymore. And now when I want her to sit in her once beloved bouncy seat, she cries until I put her in her big girl Bumbo. We took her for her three month photo session last week and here's a picture of our big girl (she decided she wanted to take serious pictures):
Since I told you about her once beloved bouncy seat and her new favorite Bumbo I thought I'd share these two pictures as well. In the one on the left she is about 6 weeks old and the picture on the right was taken a couple weeks ago.
I've also been asking myself "Where does the time go?" in regards to my creative time these days. I've definitely had to adjust my creative time around Madelyn's nursing schedule, diaper changes, bath time, etc. etc. I think becoming a mom has really made me realize why so many of you love our Key Ingredients kits! Anything that saves me time and still allows me to be creative is a must-have! I wanted to get a head start on some post-holiday cards so I got out the December Key Ingredients kit last week. I often find myself with blocks of creative time (when Madi goes to visit grandma!) and so I like to get out all of the coordinating supplies and create a bunch of cards all at once. Here's what I came up with using this month's kit:
You can read all of the details about my cards and this month's kit over on the Key Ingredients blog! If you happen to be short on creative time (or maybe you just like to have all the ingredients coordinated for you!) I hope you'll consider subscribing to our kit club! The fabulously creative gals on our Key Ingredients design team will be posting projects on the KI Blog all week so make sure you stop by and check 'em out!

Tag Hop Winner!!
Happy Friday! I hope you're all having a great day and feeling relaxed and ready for the weekend! Today has been a productive day around here!
First, we made a good dent in the release orders! All orders placed yesterday are going out tomorrow and if you still want to get in on the Petite-a-Palooza fun this weekend, all orders placed through Sunday will ship out on Monday! We love to give you speedy service!
And as an added bonus to my day I finished a couple loads of laundry and got dinner simmering in the crock pot. Now I just need to clean the house as we're having guests this weekend for Madelyn's baby dedication service on Sunday.
One more thing for today...I know I promised I'd announce the winner of the fabulous tags from our Baker's Dozen Black Friday Tag Hop earlier this week, but time got away from me with all the new release excitement. I'm very happy to announce that the winner of a set of 11 unique tags from some of the most fabulous designers in the industry is......
Congratulations, Joey! The tags are being swapped out next week and once I receive them I'll get them off in the mail to you!
