This week at Create with Connie and Mary the Design Team has been having so much fun with Stampin' Up's Design a House from the Holiday Mini. It was so great to see what everyone came up with and thay were all so different and inspiring. Today is Saturday and that means time for another challenge! This challenge is for our subscribers to participate in and earn a change to win one of two $75 gift certificates or one of two free subscriptions to the next Edition of Create with Connie and Mary.
The challenge this week is to create a hostess gift, it could be anything. I decided to make a little note card and covered note pad set. Unfortunately no matter how hard I tried to get a good picture nothing worked; I promise it is so cute in person :)
I created the outside cover from Real Red card stock and then decorated it with one of the patterns from the Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP. I matted a piece of Whisper White on Garden Green and stamped the words using the Contempo Alphabet set. I also stamped images from A Cute Christmas and added a little sparkle to the snowman with Dazzling Diamonds.Then I upped the bling factor with some Rhinestone Jewels. On the inside I created a little pocket which I think would be the perfect place to tuck receipts in and the note pad itself would be a great place to write down gift ideas.

Remember it is not to late to join us at Create with Connie and Mary! We feature new Holiday Mini products every week. There is a new project posted every day and there will be an average of two fabulous tutorials each and every week and a Project Sheet to print out for every project not having a tutorial! The site stays up long after the 8 week session is done, so you will still have access to the site and the tutorials. For more information and to see our Preview Week projects please visit at Create with Connie and Mary!
Very cute project, Jenn! Love that DSP!
