Welcome to an abbreviated version of Visions of Sugarplums! Time got away from me this year and I just didn't get everything organized. I'll miss the hop part of Visions of Sugarplums - everyone always makes such wonderful Christmas projects - so hopefully I'll get it together next year. A lot of my time went to Louisa, so that's not too bad!
My plan for this year's Vision of Sugarplums, is to post a couple of videos, some fun projects and a challenge or two with prizes.
Today, I've got a video showing how to make these easy gift card pockets. I also do a little mini review of the brushes (see one above) I've been using for Distress Inks.
I fell in love with these mice dies - they're adorable! I used the baby one on the gift card pocket and one of the bigger ones on this card.
Here's the gift card pocket video:
