I remember back to Christmases past and how we
would always have huge “cooking decorating”
parties at my best friend’s family’s home, and
then get to take a big box home with us to eat.
The tradition still continues to this day with
my family. We do not have a huge gathering of
people yet, but I wanted my son to always
remember the beginning of “Cookie-ganza!” and
how fun it was to make lots of different types
of goodies and give them away to our family and
friends. The same holds true for handmade
hybrid gifts for almost everyone on my Christmas
list, near or far away. Yes, it probably would
be easier to buy them all something small, but
the excitement on their faces or their voice
over the phone telling me how much they love my
gift gives me a huge lift and makes my holiday
season perfect.
The following are some great ideas for those
special people on your Christmas list. I hope
your holiday season is absolutely perfect in
every way and I look forward to the scrappy year
of 2009 with all of you! Merry Christmas!

Design note: When
working with acrylic, I always sketch the
design and develop a good idea of the
finished product. This helps me determine
what steps to take first, and avoid, "I wish
I would haves" later in the project.

Swinford Home card by Brianne Nevill. Supplies: Paper:
Sweetwater, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper,
Ribbon: Offray, Fonts: Christmas Fun
Doodlebats (Scrapnfonts).
Journaling: (inside) “WHOA! We’re still here after all these
years! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!”
Design note: I created this card for a coworker at my day
job. The main photo of the home her mother
grew up in was taken recently. I merged two
older photos of her mother into the main
photo to give it a nostalgic feeling. To
add that Christmas oomph, I added Christmas
themed doodlebats and filled them with
color.

Editor's note:
I LOVE the idea of being able to create
these for all my neighbors! Tins can get so
expensive and then its time consuming to
decorate each one by hand. How practical to
create one image and print it off for all of
your holiday baking/gift giving needs!
