Go Bucks!

Good Evening Everyone.....!!! WOOHOO it has been a busy and crafty weekend!! I got all my Christmas cards done, addressed, and they will be postal tomorrow. I am so happy to have that weight off my shoulders!!!! If you saw my last post I made 60 of those Santa cards, oh my I think I won't make another Santa card for quite some time...LOL


I wanted to share a project with you that I made today. My in-laws are very crafty people. They decided for our gift exchange we are to make something for a value of around 10 to 15.00 dollars. We then put all the gifts on the table and take turns picking as long as you brought a gift you are able to take a gift. It is so fun to see what everyone comes up with and creates!!! It sure is a great way to save money and be crafty over the holidays. There are men and woman that participate in the exchange so I wanted to make something that both a woman and a man could enjoy. Our whole family are Ohio State Buckeye Fans. So I decided to make these ornaments as my gift in the gift exchange. I really hope you enjoy them. GO BUCKS!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!!

Here's the recipe

  • Paper - Whisper White, Real Red, Gray
  • Accessories - Buckeye Ribbon, Chipboard Circles, Hole Punch, Leaf Punch, Marvy Circle Punch, SU Basic Black Ribbon, Pop Dots, All images were from internet cropped and punched out to fit the ornaments.
