Nuts About You (PDCC #112)

Only 3 sleeps until Christmas morning.  I have been running around like mad trying to get my ducks in a row.  We always travel out of town for the holidays and spend them with our family.  We are blessed that most of our family lives within 3 hours of us.  It is fun, but making sure I've got everything done and packed can be a challenge, especially when there are gifts involved.

Today I bring you a new color palette from The Play Date Cafe.  They are mostly traditional holiday colors, but I couldn't resist the addition of one of my new favorite colors - lime green.  Feast your eyes upon this:


Since I have been in gift-giving and wrapping mode, I decided to make a gift bag using these colors.  I've also used some fun new stamps and dies from this week's sponsor, Lil' Inkers.


I think I already have a gift bag for hubs once Valentine's Day comes around. (oh my, already gonna have to start thinking about that)  Hold onto your hats and be prepared to be inspired by the rest of the design team over at The Play Date Cafe blog.  Be sure to visit and to see what Lil' Inkers is offering up as a prize.  Oh, and you have two weeks to work on this one, so you have a bit of a break over the holidays.  Have fun with it!
