Wow! I can't believe a month has gone by since I posted! Where on earth has November gone?
I have been busy with classes and have been posting on my Facebook page - if you want to keep up to date with what's going on - that's a good place to look. Just click on the Facebook logo at the bottom of this post then hit 'Like'.

This month The Stampin Friends Blog Hop theme is 'Happy Holidays'!
If you have hopped on over from Steph's Blog you can continue on after this stop by clicking on the 'Next' button at the bottom of the page.

What would the holidays be without Santa? 

I used my card theme from last month and CASE'd it to make this card using the Santa from the Christmas Cookie Cutter set:

If I were to make it again I would have the H's and O's closer together - instead of 'HO   HO   HO' it kind've says 'HOHOHO' - but I didn't watch what I was doing when I ran the framelits through the first time with the middle HO :( Anyway - it's still cute I think ;P

I decided to make a Gift Bag Topper as my other project this month. I used the Santa again but this time punched him out with the matching punch: 

This Gift Bag Topper is one piece of cardstock folded in half with a slit in the middle for the handles to pop through - keeping all the goodies inside the bag safely and the surprise intact!
This time I did manage to position the H's and O's into 'HO   HO   HO' :)
