LET'S MAKE SOME HOLIDAY GIFT TAGS!!

Last Minute Gift Tags- Recycled Crafts

Sb1
Last week at craft day, Karla reminded me of some Christmas gift tags I made last year with the Cuttlebug and old ornament boxes.  Karla was going to make some from her boxes, but we didn't get around to it- so I made some for her. 
Some vintage ornament boxes have great graphics, and I hate to throw them away, so I cut the pictures from the boxes...

...crank the Cuttlebug and see what comes out.
Sometimes, it's a good idea to proof read the tags before you tie them to the package.
Case in point:

I'm pairing up the tags with some bakers twine and slipping them in a white burlap bag for a hostess gift for Karla...she's having a dinner tonight.

Want to make some tags, but don't have ornament boxes or a Cuttlebug?
Image4I scanned some tags so you can print them on cardstock and cut them out.
Here's a full page .pdf of theornament box tags.
I also scanned some favorite vintage wrapping papers with and without an oval templates.  You can print the oval tags on cardstock, and cut out; or print the gift wrap on card stock and cut into any shape you want.

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason.  As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake.  Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from  Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C  sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 T...
