Easy Crafty Hybrid Gift Idea, Scrapbooking Inspiration, New Digital Templates, Free Gift Tags and More!

Welcome to another special edition of The Cherry On Top.

When there is a lot to cover, I break it up into separate blogs.  Otherwise, you'll be scrolling all day!  I hope you had a wonderfully restful Black Friday and Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it.  As if?!  Today, I've got the December Buffet from GingerScraps.  Not just our contribution, but a few others from the shop.  There is lovely page inspiration for you to goggle.  A really fun hybrid gift idea from a few years ago, that I thought was worth bringing back and some more special promotions and freebies.

This is the finished off gift idea.  I up cycled some Christmas card boxes!  All I did was take some pages of my nieces that I had already scrapped over the years from Christmas, scaled the pages from 12x12 to 4x4 and...click on either image to get to the blog with the rest of the in-depth tutorial as well as ideas for goodies to put in the boxes.

You'll love how fast it all comes together and you won't have to spend a fortune either.

I used a bunch of goodies from our Sleigh Bells Ring collection.  It'll be 30% throughout the weekend and Monday at our Kreative Design Studio



If you are needing some tags for your nifty gifties, I've got some free ones for you.  The link is still live so download and enjoy.  The image will take you to another one of our blogs.

Free Holiday Tags

This is our first Buffet at GingerScraps.  I'm so happy to announce that I get to stay another month!  Let's show Ginger that The Cherry On Top deserves a spot in her awesome shop.  Upload your pages with our templates in the gallery, hang out with us in the forum and be an active participant in the GingerScraps Group.  I really appreciate all you do!

 Winter Chill

We take so many pictures at Christmas and special events and vacations, that pages like these are often necessary.  The elements are so cute, you might just want to clip in your pictures and be done with it.  If you have styles and not a lot of time, you could select all of your paper layers and just add a texture!  How efficient is that?!

Here's JJ with his Digi Birds.  He loved them, but I think you can see that.  Such a lovely playful kit from Aimee!
