A Simple Holder

Above is a simple holder  I made for a recent hostess gift.  The holder can hold many things.  I added the note cards below, but I have seen people put candy in it.  It is also a great holder for hot chocolate and mini marshmallows!  Below are the directions.

1. Start with a piece of 8" x 8" DSP.
2. Using a diagonal scoring tool, score at 2 3/4" and turn around and score again at 2 3/4".
3. Make a 1/4 turn and score diagonally through the center of the DSP.
4. Score 1 1/8" on both sides of the center score line.
5. Crease all score lines.
6. Fold in both sides at the 2 3/4" score lines.
7. Make a "v" with the bottom score lines.
8. Punch a hole through the top and tie with a piece of ribbon.
9. Add embellishments on both sides.  (I put butterflies on this holder.)

Frame / Scrapbook Classes

Beginning in October, I started Frame/Scrapbook classes that have been going quite well.  I haven't posted any of my finished pages, so I would like to post them now!  I will begin with the most recent and finish with Halloween.

Last night, we made a frame and scrapbook page for Valentine's Day.  Below are images.

Below are the images from my Christmas class.

So Many Things to Post...Not Enough Time!

As all of you know, it has been quite some time since I have posted anything.  The holidays really get me backlogged!  I am just going to be randomly posting.  There might not be a time order to many of the posts this month.  I am just going to try to post as much as I can!
