Holiday Head Start

This year I am determined to get a head start on my holiday crafting. I always have a million ideas for homemade gifts and cards, then I run out of time and only create a fraction of them. I figure that even if I only make one or two things a week, I will still be way ahead of the game.

This week on the Crafty Secrets forum challenge on Splitcoast Stampers, Pammyjo challenged us to use paper bags for our projects. I cut down and folded a lunch sack to make this Christmas gift card holder. It was such fun and pretty quick to make!
