Thank you so much for joining us today for the CTMH Artiste Blog Hop! There are only 7 of us in this hop, so I hope you'll be able to stop at all our blogs to see the projects we've made to inspire you!!  Here is the blog line up:

  7. Stacey @ Stacey's Creative Corner
For my project, I wanted to show you this...

To / From Tags (Christmas Mittens)
Peppermint Candy Tree Box


I knew I wanted to make a bunch of these adorable Christmas mittens from the ARTISTE cart, but thought I'd use them as Christmas Tree ornaments.

THEN I saw this GREAT idea over @ SIMPLY ELEGANT PAPER CRAFTS where she made a handful of TO / FROM tags. What a great idea!

My only downfall was.... I cut the mittens first and they were too big to fit in my tree box after cutting the box the largest size that would fit on my Cricut mat. Oh well.  Instead I'll be putting peppermint candies in the tree box and using it as a decoration on our coffee table.
