The 12 Days of Christmas

If your household is anything like mine, these next few days and weeks leading up to Christmas will be brimming with activity, laughs, smiles, anticipation and endless to-do lists! If you were planning to put some special handmade touches to your Christmas preparations but just weren't sure how you would find extra hours in the day, I've got just the thing for you :-) For 12 days in December, the Design Team will be inspiring you with a diverse set of projects that are quick and easy, yes, I said quick and easy to make. We are going to show you how to make items in 30 minutes or less (move over Rachel Ray!!!) with supplies your already have on hand. We may be sharing a favourite family recipe; I love tried and true...or we may show you how to use something you have in a different way. All I can say is, join me for this fun ride!

Let's start the 12 Days of Christmas inspiration with my Day 1 project - simple, elegant placecards to adorn your table.

In lieu of the traditional tent style placecards, I chose a landscape orientation for my placecard. Inside the placecard, I included a personal wish for each recipient. Here is a close-up of the front. The message is on the inside.

Supplies: Bazzill cardstock, Dazzlers flowers, My Minds Eye pattern paper, American Crafts thickers.

Are you inspired??? Please leave me a comment. Last week's blog winner will be announced tomorrow!
