Wow, it’s really 2009 already! How the years fly by…hard to believe it’s been almost a decade since Y2K. This time of year is when I make a renewed attempt to get organized and one of my favorite crafts to help me get started is the Circle Calendar.
It can be easily decorated any way you want and the wheel turns so you can view any month of the year…
The finished size is about 6″ in diameter so it can fit just about anywhere you need it.

They say there is beauty in simplicity and I think this gift box is a perfect example. It is modern and upscale looking, yet still provides a creative touch that is sure to be noticed. I have found this flat storage gift box especially useful when giving gifts to co-workers, relatives and friendly neighbors.
This is a project you will use many times and is easily adapted to the right occasion by having fun with the paper color and outside patterns. This template is available for purchase in my Paper Templates Webstore.
How lovely is this gift box for the holidays! I was hoping to get this template out a couple of weeks ago, but I guess better late than never. If you’re anything like me you still have a long list of things to do and make for Christmas. This Christmas Tree Gift Box may be just what you are looking for to share the holiday spirit.
It’s a pretty easy project and should add the perfect touch to your holiday gifts and decorations. This template is available for purchase in my Paper Templates Webstore.
I have a friend who is a figure skater and I wanted to create a special holiday gift box for her this year so I designed this sweet little skate gift box. The box is self supporting and stands up on it’s own and, although you can’t see it in this photo, there is an opening at the top of the skate which would be perfect for holding candy canes, hot chocolate packets, or even a bag full of chocolates.
I made my skate out of Real Red cardstock (template takes 2 sheets). To jazz it up, I added fuzzy white brads, white ribbon, and thin feathering as a cuff. I made the sole of the boot using a straight edge and a black Sharpie marker. The blade was made out of shiny silver cardstock.
And, I just couldn’t let the opportunity pass to make a masculin skate. As you can see, I put a couple of treats inside of the box so you can get an idea of the size.
Each skate took roughly 15-20 minutes to assemble and decorate after the pieces were cut out. It’s not a difficult project at all but, because the pieces are exact in measurement, it does require you to be careful and accurate when adhering the pieces together.

Hello bloggers,
I just wanted to pop on quickly to let you know that I am still here - I haven’t abandoned my blog. My six year old daughter is home with pneumonia so I have been playing nurse for the past week. I am working on some new designs and hope to have them uploaded by the end of the week. In the meantime, please check out the freebie section. There are some cute files there for you to download.
Remember, if you have an idea for a template, please feel free to leave a comment. I’m always looking for new ideas!
