It's Day Two of Visions of Sugarplums! So enjoyed going around to all the blogs and seeing all the wonderful Christmas inspiration. Did you go through it all at once or spread it out over the day? Would be quite lovely to enjoy with a cup of your favorite tea or coffee. I'm sure Day Two is going to be just as much fun!
Dachshund through the snow - totally cracks me up! What a super cute stamp set from Lawn Fawn! I've been practicing with my new chameleon pens. There is a bit of a learning curve, maybe because I've been using copics.
See that pretty lavender snowflake covered pillow box? That's a free printable just for you! Download it below.
You can print it and keep it just as it is or here's a fun thing: stamp snowflakes in a different color.
Watch a quick video showing how to put the pillow box together:
Talk about a cute stamp set: this one hits all the cute and sweet buttons! I was glad to see the unicorn fit perfectly inside the snowglobe dies. Lawn Fawn made it so easy to create a shaker.
Unicorns are all the rage. I think Louisa needs one for Christmas, right? Well, she's got one now (or she will at Christmas).
I have to say, this just makes me smile! A couple of tips:
Okay, here's a little something that makes me smile: look at that adorable angel with her kitties. I created this gift tag from vintage Christmas wrapping paper. But, I think it would also work for a little girl birthday or baby shower. What do you think?
Free Printable: These sweet Angel and Kitties Gift Tags come four to a page. Adorable!
Download them below.
How about one more angel? Won't she be darling sitting on your mantle, dressing up your desk or being given as a gift? You can put these together quickly.
I lucked into finding an entire package of old stock that had never been used. She's being offered as a Choux Box Kit in original vintage form. Choux Box Kit Club members received info on all the kits yesterday. If you're interested in becoming a member, click on the link at the top of my blog.

Super easy? Or a little more involved? For me, it's a time question, how about you? I guess it's also a "what do you need" question.
Obviously, this card is way easier and takes a lot less time than the treat box. After I created it, I just had to print, cut and fold. The only thing I did was add the little pompom to his hat. Couldn't be simpler, but I still think it's adorable! I've got it ready to download below.
I've also got the mouse in the jack o' lantern ready for you. You could use it for all kinds of projects. I used it on the "wand" and then clipped the wand to my treat box with a paper clip. I made the Halloween wand just like I made a couple of circus ones awhile back. You can see how HERE. Oh, before I forget, the winner of the Halloween Challenge was Lisa! Congrats, Lisa. She won a gift certificate to My Favorite Things!

You can see his eyes a little better in this photo - great vintage white buttons with shiny new black buttons - so cute! I have a very small number of kits left. I've put them in my etsy store if you want to see them. All the kits are easy to put together (great if you're short on time) and come with everything but adhesives. Happy Halloween!
Let's make it easy! Do you need a cute Halloween Treat Bag? You can whip this up in a jiffy and have a not-so-scary Halloween treat for a little sweetie or maybe for a "You've Been Boo'd" gift. We used to do the "You've Been Boo'd" thing at school and I kind of miss it!
The black cat in a pumpkin and the bag are both printables. You've got some options on the bag and I talk about those, as well as show how to make the gussets in the video below:
