December TCP Tuesday-Signed, Sealed, Delivered

This month's The Cat's Pajamas Tuesday Challenge is called Signed, Sealed, Delivered, and we were to make a gift to give this holiday season.

I decided to make a gift for someone special to me, who loves snowmen. The Let the Flakes Fly set was PEFECT for creating my gift!!

I started by creating a gift back using my Let the Flakes Fly set, and the Celebration Toppers Cut Ups. I used some MME Winter Wonderland paper, paired with MFT Cardstock in Smooth White, Electric Red, Sour Apple, and Berrylicious. I added buttons in Sweet Tooth and Berrylicious, with Hemp Cord tied through them. To finish, I used Michael's brads, and Sweet Tooth grosgrain to finish.

My tags were created using the same cardstock, stamps, and cut ups, but I added a Sweet Tooth ribbon hanger, and covered it with another piece of cardstock to keep it secure. 

I hope she likes them!!

Now it's your turn!  Do you have an idea for a quick or even not so quick gift??  We'd love to see it - and you could win this month's Swanky Stamper title just for sharing your fab idea!!  

Visit us on the TCP blog and in the TCP Member Forum at SCS!  Have a great day!
