Happy Birthday to me… And a present for YOU!

Today I am 26 years old 🙂 time to celebrate! At work I brought in the good old stand by, chocolate chip cookie bars. I made bars because I decided I didn’t want to stand by the stove for 3 hours baking cookies! Especially when they get ate within 4 hours 🙂 So making the bars took about 30 mins total! And then when I got home we had a pizza party and magic bars (pictured above) for dessert! It was perfect and delicious!

I think my 25th year was the best year of my life so far… I’ve had opportunities to meet the most amazing people and make some very sweet new friends. And, looking back on all the projects that were once ideas and now complete/almost complete is an amazing feeling. I am so thankful for each and every one of you! 25 was a good year, cheers to 26!

This week after getting the new items up and between getting orders out I took some time to scrap. I was feeling very inspired for the Christmas season and decided to make some Christmas and thank you cards with the new products! I really hope my family enjoys these – I know I always enjoy getting something homemade! Plus, I can’t stop making these cards, LOL! Warning: They are addictive! Especially the “Thank You” cards because they are the perfect way to use up all your odds and ends of scrapbooking materials that you cannot stand to throw away!

When I started making these cards I had the idea that they each needed an embellished, matching envelope! And, then I decided that the envelope flap need a fancy edge 🙂 So I made this one below and I made this present for you! Here are two envelope templates for you to download and use! One has the edge featured below and the other has just one fancy point, instead of the three! Download the template here. (This is a pdf file and you will need Adobe Reader to open it after downloading)
{The tags used for the cards above were the “Music Note Sheets,” “Vintage Holiday Greeting Squares” and the “Thank You Circle Tags – brights” both available in the shop and in our etsy shop.}

I hope you all enjoy the download 🙂 Have a great night and love you all!
XO, Elle
