From all of us here at Lifestyle Crafts, we sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas! Just in case you're still looking for last minute ideas, we've included a few projects we shared on the KSL Studio 5 segment. We'll be back to blogging on December 26. Until then, have a happy holiday!

As you know, the I Made This campaign is all about making great projects with Lifestyle Craft's products and sharing them in the Community Gallery.  Because we're all about making things, we just had to share a fun project we received from designer Tiffany Hood. Using the Christmas Photobooth Printables, she took photos of each family member and made it into a holiday card! What a fun activity for the kids and a creative way to send a card.

The photobooth printables come with

-Santa Hat
-Santa Beard
-2 Sets of Glasses
-Elf Hat
-Antlers
-Top Hat

We thought this was a fun idea and love to see any project Lifestyle Craft's customers complete.  Make sure to upload your project to the Community Gallery to be entered to win the Ultimate I Made This Giveaway Prize!  You could win a mac computer, DSLR camera, scrapbooking supplies, shopping sprees, and more!  See more details here.

Good luck and happy 'making!'

With all of this I Made This talk, it put me in the mood to actually MAKE something! I decided to have some fun with wrapping my Christmas gifts. I was amazed with all of my options... I found that the box dies and alphabets were great resources!  

Let's take a look at my first gift. I knew that the Rosette die would look good on just about any package... but I LOVE the way it looks here!  I used the Holday Wish Digital Kit to print out some patterned paper on cardstock to add some pattern.

With this gift, I used the Matchbox die.  The paper is also printed on my home paper from the Holiday Wish Digital Kit.  

The little bag is now home to a gift card for my brother-in-law!  It fits perfectly.  I used the Gift Bag die and created the monogram with the Celebrate alphabet. 

This next gift is for my sister. I got her some fun jewelry and put it on the Bakery Box die.  I accented with the Nesting Frame 5 die, the 4x4 Manhattan alphabet, and bakers twine. 

Last but not least.... I love this simple package!  After wrapping it with wrapping paper, I used the Celebrate alphabet to create a "Merry" message!  Simple and fun.

 I know my family members will love to receive these gifts.  What dies have you used with your wrapping this holiday season? 

We had a great time last night at the Lifestyle Crafts holiday party! Using the Christmas Digital Photobooth Props, we set up a photobooth and got some fun pictures of everyone. It was a great activity for our party. Do you have a holiday party coming up? The Christmas Digital Photobooth Props are a great way to incorporate a fun activity without going to too much work.

Happy Holidays from all of us here at Lifestyle Crafts!
