Creative Inking Blog Hop – Holiday Gift Ideas

Welcome to the November Creative Inking Blog Hop! You may be just arriving from Barb Mullikin's blog or you're starting here – either way you are in the right place to get your creative juices flowing!

This month we are featuring HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS – WHOO HOO!!!! My favorite! I love making gifts with my stamping supplies. I think you're going to love this one! It's such an amazing gift for anyone! You can make it with photos of your friends' grandchildren or a vacation you went on or themed for the different seasons or holidays. I always have so much fun making gifts like this! And how do you get photos of people that you don't have…watch the video where I share my little secret with you!

I chose to make a winter sampler for my daughter Hailey. You'll find a video tutorial showing you all the details and some fantastic tips to make one of your own here:

I'm super happy with the way this one turned out! I love the Smokey Slate background with the bold Blackberry Bliss squares. And the black & white photos add to the whole color scheme don't you think? 

Here's a close up of my daughter – she's always been so photogenic – I've always loved that! This gift highlights a trip that her and her fiancee took to Chicago last holiday season. I'm pretty sure she will cherish it for years.

Some more close ups of the details:

My black 8" x 8" frame is from WalMart by the photo frames. I was so thrilled to find a square frame when I was out shopping this morning. This was perfect for 9 squares. You can use any number of squares and different sizes to make these – they are so fun!

Dimensions:

• Smokey Slate 8" x 8 "
• Blackberry Bliss 9 @ 2" x 2"
• Photos 1 3/4" x 1 3/4"
• Silver Foil Sheets, Whisper White and Blackberry Bliss scraps
