Scrappy Jak's December Challenge!

I made these two cards for a challenge on Facebook! Scrappy Jak sent the card stock and ribbon to me and asked to make two cards for the month of December using her supplies!

I have been working at my new job for 6 weeks now! There is just not enough time to scrapbook or post these days! I stayed up the past few nights so I could get ready for the holdiday blog hop! Hope you enjoy my work!

This first Christmas tag is paper pieced! No Cricut used....just scrissors, paper and glue! I love the expression on the bears face! :-)

This next piece has also been paper pieced....what a great pair!

I made these gift card boxes this year.....thought it was different! Usually I just stick the gift cards in a card! Love how they turned out!

This last item is a Christmas card I made last night. The lady at work was trying to get it off me....:-) Turned out adorable. Oh, and I got to use my I-ROCK, which is always so much fun!
