Remember that gorgeous Christmas book I showed you the other night that Patti had made for herself? Dianne and I persuaded her to lead a class and . . . Patti agreed! Yay! You're gonna love it!

This project features the My Minds Eye paper and Memory Box dies as embellishments for each page.

Stickles and Wink of Stella are used in making the pages sparkle.

Back to 'remembering' . . .
Remember the new tool I showed you the other night? I opened the packaging and couldn't wait to make a gift bag with it! The We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag punch board works very similar to the Envelope punch board that we've sold at Art 'n Soul.
I used two-sided 12x12 paper from Authentique to make a medium-sized bag. I love how the inside of the bag is just as gorgeous as the outside of the bag.

| I added a strip of washi tape down the one side of the gift bag. |
This sample gift bag will be at the store today. It's so easy that you could make several, and I mean several, of these gift bags in small, medium or large size. There are only two places to apply double-sided tape adhesive (I used red-line tape). If you want to use wider ribbon, you can also use a larger sized individual punch; the holes you see are punched by the board. The Gift Bag punch board can be ordered at Art 'n Soul; it's a 'qeue' item at Notions and they're hoping the item will be in stock around Thanksgiving.
And remember those little mini bags from Webster's Pages that we used with the mini canvasses in Susie's class? The Christmas mini bags will be at Art 'n Soul today. I think their designs will make charming paper collages on the mini canvasses that arrived at the store yesterday!
A little birdie told me that there are is a limited number of gold and green Wink of Stella pens at the store; the early 'birds' bought up the clear pens and pen sets yesterday . . . hurry in if you want the gold and/or green pens! Wink of Stella pens appear to be our latest 'sell-out' items.
See you tomorrow!
