It's another beautiful day on the blog and we have brand new Wonder & Wishes projects to share from Cycling Team member Marcia Dehn-Nix. We are so excited about her layout, gift card holders and card, but let's have Marcia tell you all about them...
"It is so exciting to be a part of the Wonder & Wishes Cycling Team. Little Yellow Bicycle asked me to make one item, but I am sorry, I could not stop at one. I have three projects to share with you today."
When I was looking through some older Christmas photos of my kids that I had not yet scrapbooked, I came across this photo of my kids on Christmas morning. The plaid in the girls’ skirts and in the stocking hanging above them from the fireplace mantle was similar to the plaid paper in the Wonder & Wishes collection. It was as if it was destined when I saw 3 chipboard stockings. The Wonder & Wishes collection has so many fabulous embellishments to choose from. The hard part is deciding which ones to use as I loved so many!

It seems that I am giving more gift cards as gifts this year as my nieces and nephews and my own kids are getting older. Then there are gift cards I purchase for teachers, close friends and family. My starving college student daughters are getting gift cards for groceries and gas. Now, I know that some people think that a gift card is the easy way out. We should shop for hours to find the perfect gift for that someone special. I don’t know about you, but I love getting a gift card! I can go shopping again!! These gift card holders are a fun, decorative way to present your gift. I made 2 gift card holders. One tailored for trendy teens, and the other more elegant for a teacher. Detailed instructions on how to make these are located on my blog; http://onescrapatatime-bymumsie.blogspot.com/
