M for Make a Gift

Good morning! It was wonderful to see so many of you enjoyed our lyrics challenge.

It was a treat for us to visit your blogs and see you wonderful cards.

Today marks the start of anew ABC Christmas challenge and this time our theme is

 M for Make a Gift

We are sponsored this week by our very own Lacey and her awesome store  Stamp and Create
Our Lucky winner will receive

a Fabulous Gift voucher.

Lacey is on vacation this week, but while she is away, there is a sale over at her store (through Friday).

At least 10% off everything at Stamp and Create.

Please note that orders will not ship out until Saturday, June 30th.

Now to show you what I have created.

As the weather was so nice this past weekend I wanted to create something that I could make while it sitting outside and enjoying the sunshine. I had seen some interesting yarn at Michael's  called Sashay by Red Heart and decided to pick some up.

This fun scarf took me about two hours to make while sitting in my backyard on Sunday. It will make the perfect gift for a friend and I have already picked up the yarn to make a few more in different colours.

As all gifts need to be properly presented, I have also created this gift bag in which to give it. The papers are from making memories. The reindeer is a Tim Holtz die that has been inked with glimmer mist and then stamped in vintage script.

To finish it off I have added a little punched floral garland around its neck and a simple black gem for the eye. Be sure to check out the ABC Challenge blog for the rest of the beautiful DT inspiration. I hope that you will join us for this challenge. I love the idea of making some more of my gifts and I am looking for your ideas to inspire me as well.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
City Crafter - Make a Gift
Love to Create - Anything Goes
One Stop Crafts - Christmas in June
