Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, and the DT have made :-)

I love making little gifts to give to family and friends and these little Post-It Note holders are always popular and handy to have around ;-) 

For this first one I used a super cute House Mouse 'Gifts To Tie' Cling Stamp 



This first one is for my Sister In-Law who is hosting the family gathering dinner this year. I coloured with Copic Markers and added a little shading with Prismacolor Pencils. To bind the little booklet I used a Bind It All tool but the We R Memory Keepers Cinch Tool is very similar and is way at the top of my wish list ;-) 

I scrribbled the ground using an embossing pen and then embossed with Stampendous Shabby White Enamel, I love the gold shimmer in this, so pretty :-)

and for this 2nd one I used a now discontinued 'oldie but goodie' 'Amanda Writes' stamp which I hope will be re-released. It's perfect for adding any occasion text! 

I added a few ink drips by masking and inking areas of a Kaisercraft Speckles Mini Stencil




So now it's YOUR turn to take out whatever you like and create whatever takes YOUR fancy! :-)

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.





You have until next Wednesday 8am EST to join in! :-)

It is great how you made such useful gifts for your family for this challenge. I couldn't figure out on IG and now I saw the post and made sense of it! Love the gold twine you added for the finishing touch. You made the whole thing from scratch right? WOWOWOWOW! I am amazed and seriously, this is just amazing. Serious crafting goals right here. Thanks for such a great inspiration. Have a great New Year! xx Ankita
