Now for my project:

 I made the ornaments you see on the tree, they are a great size and I think will look great on any tree. I put them on a small table top tree to show you here because my tree is not up yet I like to put it up around the second week in December.

 Some close ups so you can see the details of each ornament. This is Ms. Snowlady holding her snowflake up for everyone to see.

 And l would like you to meet Snowman

 and also Sitting snowman

as an added bonus from these files I cut out extra snowflake pieces and made them into stand alone snowflakes it's like getting 2 files for the price of one !!

All of the ornaments were created with  svg files cut on my cricut, K & Company designer double sided 12 x 12 paper, quick hold glue, pop dots to give them dimension, cuttlebug embossing folders and of course ink for the edges. 

All of these files can be purchased at Creativekuts2.com

Candy boxes

Hi All
Sandy sure gave us a very large scare. Thankfully we were very lucky many around we not and I keep them in my prayers daily. Some are still without power and many of us without gas the lines are forever long at the stations that get deliveries. But we are all here to complain about it and that is the great part. Thanks to all my cyber friends for all the prayers sent our way.

Now on to the fun stuff. !!
take a look at these oh so cute candy boxes I made using svg cutting files from you guessed it Creativekuts2.com

http://www.creativekuts2.com/item_160/Gingerbread-House-Box.htm

http://www.creativekuts2.com/item_161/Penguin-Box.htm

They are so fast and easy to make I embossed the snow edges on the gingerbread house and intended to emboss the fur on the penguins hat but did not remember until I had it put together. Next one will be embossed. Yes I plan on making several more to fill with candy and gift cards.
So stop buy Creativekuts2.com to pick up these adorable files.
Till next time . Thanks for stopping by.
