Let's get started with this Christmas Party!

For my project, I created two cards:

The first one is made using files from the North Pole Buddies and Night Before Christmas collections from Treasure Box Designs. This elf is a real cutie!!! The patterned papers are from Doodlebug Design's Sugarplums collection. I cut the svg banner from a freebie set from Basic Grey that I altered a bit and it is stamped with a 'Absolutely No Peeking' sentiment from My Craft Spot which unfortunately is no longer available.

The Merry Christmas reindeer card uses the newest Bobble Buddies Reindeer cut file also from Treasure Box Designs and the background paper is also from the Sugarplums collection. With the generic winter background, I could have used about any sentiment I wanted, and, for instance, made it a birthday card, Thinking of You, Just Because, and so on; but I went with the Christmas sentiment to stick with today's theme. The sentiment is also from My Craft Spot and is no longer available.

I had a lot of fun making these cards for you and I hope you are enjoying the hop!!!

For my blog candy, to one lucky FOLLOWER who leaves a COMMENT on this post, I am offering:

A free file of your choice from

Treasure Box Designs!!!

I am also giving away this set of four Christmas tags:

These were made using a past freebie from Treasure Box Designs

(no longer available in the TBD store). They are about 5" tall and are stamped with an old set of To and From stamps that I have had forever.

(Updated 11/23/2015 - These tags have been added back to the Treasure Box Designs store. You can find them in the $1 section.)

Here is a close up of the top of the tag:

Two prizes equals two chances to win here on my blog!!! The tags will only be shipped to addresses in the USA. The free file from Treasure Box Designs is open to anyone!

Thank you so much for hopping along with us today! Be sure to tell your friends to hop along too so Santa can do a drawing for the winner of a Silhouette Cameo! Don't forget to FOLLOW this blog, and leave a COMMENT before moving on to the next one so that you have a chance to win.
