It's my turn......

Hello and happy Thursday stamping friends!  Today is my turn to share a special little project with you all that I have created for the "Time with" post over at the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog. With Christmas fast approaching I thought it would be fun to share a quick and easy little gift idea. I don't know about you, but every year I seam to need just one more last minute gift that I somehow forgot about or I decide to give to someone unexpectedly. Usually I go to my local grocery store to pick up a gift card, but not this year. I came across this fun little project and decided to give it a try.  It is fairly inexpensive, which is another plus, but it sure does not look inexpensive ;D;D

So, let me share a little sneak peek of my project. For the entire tutorial and description, please visit the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog.

It would be nice if you would let me know what you think about my little tutorial.

Thanks for visiting me and make sure you'll check out the ODBD Blog to see the entire project!

Hugs and blessings,
