Holidays
Pattern: Classic Treat Bags
While cards are a nice gesture to express your sentiments, sometimes you want to give just a little bit more. Perhaps it is a specially made cookie or a few premier type chocolates. On those occasions a card is not quite the right presentation. What you need is a creative way to disguise that treat. A custom made treat bag is the perfect solution. This month's project pattern is a treat bag with six interchangeable flaps. The flap elements are in a classic style and will work for any occasion depending on the paper you choose. The treat bag will fit the small portion size zipper bags found at Walmart or any clear bag that is 3.5" wide.

Folded Dimensional Paper Snowflakes
My daughter came home from an activity a few weeks ago with a super cool folded dimensional snowflake. It was unlike anything I'd seen before. She created it by folding and cutting several pieces of paper and then gluing them together in cool patterns. I knew immediately these would be a hit with grownup kids too, so I created a few for you to cut out.
Holiday Traditions Scrapbook Layout
Tis the Season of traditions. This is the time of year that there seems to be so many traditions that continue and start. Some traditions only last a few years, because of the age of children, but other traditions continue for generations. What traditions do you have? Did you start a new one this season? This cutting file contains many different options for titles. You can stay with just the word Traditions or overlay it with one of those many options. You can use your pen tool in the journaling box below the photos.

Christmas Memories Project Pattern
Christmas is a time when precious memories are made. Most of us snap photos as a way to preserve the feeling of that special time. If you are like me you take hundreds of digital photos! But, do you ever get them off of the memory disk, print them and put them on a scrapbook page? I have to admit that it seems like I rarely get around to making the pages that I envision when I pose my family for a photo. This year, I plan to break that pattern of procrastination and get those photos printed and down on a page. In anticipation of that resolution, I have designed four different scrapbook pages for this month's Project pattern
