Three Little Sweethearts and a couple of Ornaments....

Well the countdown to Christmas is intense at my house. I'm sure at yours as well! I've got my list of last minute necessities ready to head out to the grocery store. I've gone over my meal plan time and time again so that I wouldn't forget anything. The kids are out of school - sheesh!!!

Today I have some little altered flip notes to share with you. I needed three small gifts for some friends and family members, and I found these really cool Flip Note books at a local gift shop. There are metal, and, when you remove the pen, the lid flips open to a small note pad inside. Throw it in your purse or pocket and it won't every get torn or bent! VERY COOL!

Here are the three together. I used the same image, #315 Sweetheart Tilda from the 2009 Raising the Ceiling collection on all three and gave her the same outfit, but the hair color changed...



Red Hair Tilda...

Skin - E0000,00,11, Chalk for Cheeks on all three images

Inside the Flip Note...



And now for the Ornaments...

I loved the tutorial Mindy gave on her blog on how to do Ornaments. I had tried before very unsuccessfully and so was delighted to find her tutorial. I made two ornaments for my friends kids, hopefully they will be keepsakes that they can take into their Christmases of the future.

For one child - a girl - I used #3081 Tilda with Hanging Heart.

Hair - E35, Y26, 21
Dress - R81, 83, 85
Stickles
Gold Spica Pen
Silk Ribbon - stash
Pink Rose - stash





For the other child - a boy - I used #147 Edwin on Sled.

B 21, 93, 95
Puff Paint
Glitter
E35, 31, 30
Silk Ribbon - stash
Button - stash
Twine - stash





I put their names on the back of each one and dated it. Since they are both teenagers, I'm trusting the mom to take good care of the ornaments until the kids each have their own families and trees.

Okay, now I'm completely done for Christmas. Wishing you all a very joy filled Christmas and the most wonderful, creative, and happy New Year.

Blessings and hugs,
Barb
