Christmas Card Hang Tags

Tuesday, December 28, 2010

3 comments
STOP! Don't throw those Christmas cards in the trash!

Gather them up and make Christmas hang tags for next Christmas! I used a jumbo puncher with a scalloped edge to create these.
Just make sure there is no wording on the back side of where you will punch.

Next I'll punch a small hole and add a string. The back side is perfect for the to and from!

Here are a few of my favorites.

The ones from last year sure did come in handy this year!

Innkeepers Key with Printable

Wednesday, December 15, 2010

16 comments
This year my kiddo will be gifting these Innkeeper Keys to a few of the people that work at his school. A simple skeleton key ornament which represents the Innkeepers key. The Innkeeper in Luke 2 in the Bible that told Mary and Joseph that there was no room for them in the inn.

This idea came entirely from Amy at The Idea Room where she posted this last year. I simply created a small card for the key which you can print and use if you like.

"Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus." Neal A. Maxwell

The skeleton keys are from a local hardware store. We tied a small ribbon for a hanger. Then punched two small holes in the card on either side of the key and tied the key on with another ribbon. Our printable card below includes the poem below and the quote above by Neal A. Maxwell. Both of which were found on the Idea Room blog. Thanks Amy!

A Prayer For December:
Dearest God,
Please never let me
Crowd my life
Full to the brim.
So like the keeper of Bethlehem’s Inn,
I find I have no room for Him.
Instead, let my heart’s door
Be ever open,
Ready to welcome
The newborn King.
Let me offer the best I have
To Him
Who gives me everything.

Freebie Photo Christmas Cards

Monday, December 6, 2010

12 comments
Hello there. Christmas is quickly approaching! Are you ready? This might help!

I created a few Christmas card templates for you to use if you like! All of these are in the Costco Greeting Card size which is 7.5x6. The great thing about using Costco for your custom photo cards is you get the envelopes too and at a great price!





Each card was created using digital kits from Summertime Designs (thank you Summer) and all are included in the download. Each has a sample that shows where you can add a photo and wording.

To create your card you will want to open the "png" files in a photo editing program (like photoshop or comparable). Simply add a photo and a message if you like. Then save as a "jpeg" and send over to Costco for printing. I highly suggest you use the "matte" or "lustre" finish instead of the "glossy".

Would love to know if you use them! Let me know if you have any questions.
Click here to download.

I am thankful for dead turkeys! Bahahahaha!!!
This is what I woke up to yesterday morning!
My kids love to draw and this is what my oldest was working on in the wee hours of the morning. Couldn't be because we've been talking for days and preparing for our little pit party. Could it???

Our turkey and several others go in the deep pit!

And come out ready for eating well right after you get all the wrapping off! Oven bag, foil, foil, foil, more foil, burlap bag!

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and spent a lovely day with those you love most!
