Christmas Blog Hop for WAW




I made a set of cards for a sweet friend and placed them, along with envelopes, in a cellophane bag.  It needed more, so I created a sleeve to hold the bag.  The top of the bag runs through a circular opening cut with a small die.   I used this week's Word Art Wednesday scripture, John 3:16, as a simple tag.  The verse is done up with such a pretty font that it would be a lovely addition to any Christmas gift.

The final projects of the year are featured in a hop.  All the details are on the WAW blog. The prize for my blog and the order of the hop are shown below.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and lots of fun hopping!

I love this. It's really pretty. What nativity set did you use? I don't have any in my collection. I'm kinda picky. I really do like this one. Please let me know. Thank you. [Bunny]
