Christmas Kid Cocoa Pouches

Hello, and welcome to my hide-away! It's time for your weekly Digital Delights inspiration! I hope you enjoy my little project as much as I did making it!

I recently went to a Christmas get-together with my stamping group. My friend, Paula, made these cute little hot cocoa "kits" for each of us. It was so cute, I decided to give it a try. (Check out Paula's here!!)

Here is my version of Paula's brown bag pouches using Digital Delights' Christmas Kids digi-images:


As you can see in this next photo, there are actually two "pockets" in this pouch- the back pocket holds the hot cocoa mix pouch and the front pocket holds the candy cane stirring stick and two Peppermint Patty candies.

These will make cute little gifts for co-workers or classmates. You could even tuck a gift card in the front pouch if you wanted!

Thanks for stopping by!! Please drop in on the Digital Delights by Louby Loo blog to see what the rest of the design team has been up to! Oh, and stop by the Digital Delights store!

Rudolph "Spares"

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Even though it's Thanksgiving Day, it's Thursday, and that means another Digital Delights inspiration piece!

Can you believe that Christmas is ONLY a month away?!?! Here is a really cute little stocking-stuffer or little gift that's fun and easy to make! We've all read the story about Rudolph and his shiny nose leading Santa's sleigh through the fog, but what happens if his nose burns out?? Hmm, have you ever though about that?? Well, here is the solution- "spares" for his red shiny nose!! (I apologize for the poor pictures- I just couldn't get rid of the glare from the flash!)

I used the reindeer from Digital Delights' Christmas Toppers 1. Isn't he cute? Here's a close-up:

On the back is this poem:

Rudolph with your nose so bright
In case your light should dim,
I've made these handy "Rudolph Spares"
tucked safe inside this tin.

Here is a different poem in case you like this one better:

Rudolph has a job to do
Every Christmas Eve,
it's true.
His nose will always
light the way
For Santa and his tiny sleigh,
But if his nose should
ever go out
Don't cry or whine
or yell or pout.
Take out this jar and use a bit.
From Rudolph's
Red Nose repair kit!

I hope that you've enjoyed my project for this week. Why not head on over to the Digital Delights by Louby Loo Blog to check out what the rest of the design team has created for your enjoyment and inspiration!
