Some Holiday Ideas from Our Favorite Vendors!!!

I want to share a little holiday gift with all of you!  I've looked through all the holiday papers at the store and compiled this list of holiday projects from our vendors blogs and galleries.  As I write this, we still have papers from all of these collections in stock!  So if something strikes your fancy, hurry to Whimzee's and pick it up before it slips away with the holiday season!  These are some of my favorite vendor's holiday ideas!

A Little Christmas Inspiration

This DVD case is a fun holiday project if you're looking for a great way to package those DVD's of photos you're sending to the relatives this year. Don't worry, if you're not sending out photo DVD's this year, our instructor had a great idea for this case. She said that she uses it to house a special holiday music CD she creates each year for family and friends. Not being a big baker, she uses gives it as a hostess gift when others might give baked bread or goodies. And if you aren't looking to give DVD's or CD's this year, take a close look at the project and 'scraplift' it into a card or scrapbook page.

Twila & I made these at the Craft Fest event we attended a couple weeks ago, sponsored by EK Success and Petersen Arne. The project featured K & Company's new Christmas collection Evergreen by designer Brenda Walton. We used the paper pad from this collection which is perfect for card makers and those of you who create albums smaller than 12 x 12. Another winner is the adhesive border pack, this pack is full of borders that are great for trimming to the size you need or using as is. While we didn't order from this collection, you may be able to find it elsewhere. We did order the small paper pads and adhesive borders from a couple other collections, so be on the look out for those in the store. We loved using these products in creating the DVD case and we're sure you'll love them too!

Don't forget to call the store (503) 259-9130 to RSVP for our Holiday Open House, Tuesday, December 1st from 5pm to 7pm. We'll have tons of great deals on our class page kits and also some fun special purchase collections.
