Ways To Use It Challenge 243 & Thanksgiving Thursday Week #1

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I played along with the Ways To Use It Challenge from over at SCS. We were challenged to use stickers of any kind to make holiday card making go much faster. Since I don't have any holiday stickers I used some rub ons that I just recently picked up at Micheal's. I used this challenge to create a gift card holder for Christmas. Take a peek...

I cut my snowman rub on out with my circle nestabilities and layerd it onto a red scalloped circle. I used a piece of last years dsp from SU on the backside of the card holder. The front has a piece of Bashful Blue ran thru the Cuttlebug with the Snow Dots Embossing Folder. I put a belly band completely around my gift card which slides on & off. The snowman is popped up with dimensionals.

Last year I did a personal challenge here on my blog to make Thanksgiving cards and post them on each Thursday in November leading up to Thanksgiving Day. With the holiday coming fast this was a way for me to make sure I had some Thanksgiving cards prepared to send out because this holiday always gets lost in the hussle & bussle of things! So, again this year I am gonna do the same thing because it truely worked out wonderful for me & I was able to get those cards sent in a timely manner.
