My project: The Christmas holiday is very important in my family. It is the one time of the year that my whole family gets together (siblings, parents, nieces and nephews) and we all gather to have dinner and a Pollyanna. (ETA: A Pollyanna is where you put every one's name in a hat and then you buy a gift for that person. We pick on Thanksgiving and then have a party to give the gifts right after Christmas. And...you keep it a secret for that whole month--which is difficult in our family!) Because this is one tradition that we all look forward to...I chose to create a Christmas gift bag:
Here is the detail shot of all the bling on the ornament:
I stamped the ornament stamp (Heirloom Ornament by Gina K Designs) in ruby on some ivory cardstock. I cut it out with Spellbinders Nested Ornament dies that coordinate perfectly with this set. I stamped the sentiment on some ivory cardstock and matted it with ruby cardstock.
I added a few more stamped and die cut smaller ornaments under the sentiment and added some bling to them.
Enter to win! You have until 11:59 PM CST, November 6, 2010, to post your comment on this post to be entered to win the new stamp set I used on this bag. It is called Heirloom Ornament (by Gina K Designs). It is a GORGEOUS set!

What a lovely gift bag, and a lovely new set! I'd love to win!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you Carolyn! I'm new to your blog via this hop and am loving the new talent and inspiration I'm finding along the way. Your bag is fabulous! My family also does a round robin gift exchange, except that instead of picking a name, we just do gift cards and then "steal" them away from each other during the round robin. Always fun and giggles galore!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ornament. Love the added bling. Awaiting the full reveal.
ReplyDeletep.s. I apoligize if this is a duplicate post-I had computer 'issues.'
The gift bag is absolutely awesome and beautifully designed. Thanks for the opportunity to win the set, the heirloom ornament is lovely.
ReplyDeletebeautilful Work Cammie! I just love that set and die. Thanks for showing

Very pretty...love the bling.
ReplyDeleteThat stamp is glorious! And I love to see the "dressed up" brown bag. I have some of those I bought a long time ago and haven't done anything with them yet. Oh boy, now all I have to do is find them!
ReplyDeleteI love giving gifts in gift bags so this is a great idea for making my own. Thanks for the inspiration. The ornament stamp is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Cammie! I love how you "blinged" up the larger ornament, the row of smaller ornaments, and that lovely gold ribbon.
ReplyDeleteCammie, we have that same tradition in our family, although I'd never heard it called a PollyAnna! Last year, after our family was hit hard by the recession, we gave our gift a theme...Christmas Ornaments. We felt like it was something everyone could afford but would still be able to personalize in some way. (I received a running shoes ornament because 3 weeks before Christmas I completed my first 1/2 marathon...I thought it was an awesome gift). Thanks for sharing your tradition and your talents! Mary
ReplyDeleteOH MY!! I would love to receive that bag, even if it was empty. The ornament is gorgeous and what a wonderful prize!! Thank you so much for being part of the hop. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the gift bag Cammie. I can't wait to see this set in the release tonight.
