Fancy Schmancy Gift Card Holders

These are the fancy gift card holders that I made for some of the gifts we gave our family for Christmas.
I got the idea from Make it and love it. She's pretty awesomely talented!!
this turned out to be a super fun project that took no time @ all!!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!

So, I've been doing lots of crafting lately but I can't post anything yet because most of it's Christmas presents. so i decided to post some of my favorite decorations!!



This is my favorite nativity scene.

And my awesome vintage bobble-head Santa!! He's my favorite inherited Christmas item.

This is part of our HUGE village! Mr. Lawley's family gives us a few pieces every year! Right now we don't have the room to put it all out so we do rotate things through.

My "mantle" (yes, i realize it's not a traditional mantle but it's the closest thing i've got.) Don't mind the randomness of the bottom.

And my Christmas tree. Our tree is a bit of a mish-mash of ornaments. Mr. Lawley and i have a tradition that we give each other a new ornament every year. so we have those and then random ones that have somehow become super important to us. I love my random-mish-mash tree!

Cute lil pouches!!

I decided I needed to try and make something fun that was in my scope of sewing practice! and I saw the tutorial for these cute little pouches on Make It And Love It and loved them... so here's my attempt!! cute right? I'm thinking some of these will come in handy for Christmas!

And I'm Back!!

I've seen all these super cute wreaths all over blog-land so i decided to attempt to make one myself. I love the way it turned out.
So I took these fabrics, wreath, glue gun, and buttons and made this:
I used 3 different sizes of glasses to make the flowers! it was fun to put the fabrics together to see how many different patterns i could make. Then i hot glued them together and glued them on the wreath! turned out rather lovely don't you think?
