If you hopped to my blog from
are in the right place. If you just happened to stop
by and landed on this Awesome hop, I suggest you hop over to
You won't want to miss anyone along the way.
For this Blog Hop, Joy thought it would
be great for everyone to come up
with a creative, inexpensive, and easy
holiday gift for a teacher, mail carrier,
bank teller, paper boy, etc...
I decided to create the packaging for the
inexpensive, easy holiday gift...You can
add a $5 gift card, yummy candy, a few cookies,
or whatever you would like
(as long as it fits)
I made this by using the Forever Young
cartridge and cut out the purse at 5.5 inches
I did this on my Gypsy and used the hide feature
function to hide the word that cuts out on the purse.
I cut accent paper to layer on the purse and used
a 1 inch Bell I cut out of the free Christmas Solutions
cartridge (it was loaded on my Gypsy for registering).
As an extra, I punched out a boarder with my Fiskars
holiday holy punch.
I placed a piece of velcro under the Bell for the closure
and finished it all off with a pretty holiday ribbon and
My Pink Stamper Rubber Stamps:)
Take a look...

I hope you enjoyed my project for this Blog Hop!
I had a lot of fun making this one. I have only
used my Forever Young cartridge once before.
I know, I know you want the candy don't you?
