01 Birthday Wishes: Waltzingmouse November Sneak Peek Day #2

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments left on my 1st WMS sneak peek yesterday! And I welcome you to Sneak Peek Day #2! Just 2 more sleeps until the release on Sunday!!

For my sneak peek today - I'm using Around Christmastime.

I stamped just half of the round snowflake stamp off the edge of my card and stamped the large and small 'branches' around it. I went over all the lines with my glue pen and added glitter for some pretty 'snowy' sparkle. It shows up much better IRL! Then I stamped the sentiment in the top corner.

My treat bag is made from a 6"x9" Catalog Envelope from Staples! Ellen Hutson has a great tutorial for making this on her blog here.

The plaid stamp is from PicNic Patterns - the snowflake, sentiments and circle seal are from Around Christmastime. And I baked the yummy sugar cookie snowflakes to put inside this fun gift bag! (well, yes - I did have to taste test one, or two...)

I placed the eyelets for the ribbon handle off center on the front and back, rather than on the sides. I received a gift in a commercial gift bag last Christmas and it had the ribbon front and back and I thought it looked cool - and I placed mine off center to continue the line of the

placement of the image.
