this one says "Girls are Special" I used George to cut out the squares and a ms punch for the border of the page

I used the cricut stamping cart for this one for the butterflys and the word sweet is from paisly

Hot Chocolate gift

This was a really fun project that Julie and I made at Dana's house. Dana provided all the stuff except the glue. It has a packet of hot chocolate inside and she gave us 2 candy canes but Ethan ate one of mine. This would be a great gift with a gift card to a place that sells hot chocolate or coffee (maverick, Starbucks, Hastings ...) all the products are stampin up (less the cups and candy and chocolate) the cardstock is real red and pink pirouette. (i think) and the patterned paper is one of the christmas lines from the Christmas mini. (so sad that you can't get it anymore) The stamp fun. Dana got the idea from this blog

It is a great blog with a ton of ideas and boxes you can make. This blog also has instructions on how to make it. with different stamps and paper used.
