Things I made for a Christmas Swap..

It has been several years since I joined any kind of a paper crafting swap. This swap -

UStamp with Dawn & Friends - caught my eye and I joined in on the fun last week. So many wonderful ideas are presented everyday and today I got the name of the person I'm swaping with! Stephanie from Woodbridge, Virginia! Last night the swaping bug bit me and this is what I made for Stephanie..

...a note pad holder for the holidays and a little candy tin. Some close-ups on details

Only Stampin' Up products were allowed in the swap. I used Real red, old olive and ivory card stock. The same colors for the buttons and ribbon. The deco paper was a sheet Stampin' Up paper from 2006.
