Its the most wonderful time of the year!! Oh, how I love Christmas and the latest special issue from Paper Crafts Magazine, Holiday Cards & More Vol. 5 has put me in the spirit!! The issue is available now and you can pick yours up HERE.

I am thrilled to have quite a few cards in this issue. Every project in this issue is amazing and I am quite honored to be in it! Making Christmas projects always brings back such wonderful memories for me. My family has traditions that go back to when my dad was born. Its truly amazing to see all my cousin’s children, along with my little man, participating in those same traditions. A big part of those memories include music. And singing my lungs out to Christmas music in July, while working on this call, definitely inspires me. :)

PC HCM Blog Hop Gift Bag

For today, we were all given directions to use to create a unique project, especially for this hop. You can download the directions for the bag I used today, HERE. You can see the original project in the issue: Holiday Plaid Gift Bag (p. 104) by Becky Olsen. This is a cute and easy to make bag. Its just perfect for a sleeve of golf balls, which in my family is very handy for the holidays! :)

PC HCM Blog Hop Gift Bag CU Tag

The tag on the front was made with Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament 2010 and a stamp from Hero Arts, from the clear set, Get Merry.

Love this bag and it has been fun doing the blog hop and seeing everyone's versions. So much talent! favorite song is hard. I do love "grandma Got run over by a reindeer" just because it is so fun. On the other hand Silent Night is a favorite for the stillness and peace it brings to me.

Irit Shalom said...

love your box and your blog !! Thanks for the hop

Stacie said...

Silent night! Your bag is beautiful!

Denise Bryant said...

Beautiful project! Love the ribbon you used on it and the stamp design.
O Holy Night gets me every time. Not sure why I am so fond of it, but I must remember it from when I was a kid.
DeniseB

Jackie W. said...

Well, as far as my fave Christmas song, it would be "I Saw Three Ships". The reason is that it reminds me of my childhood when my parents played Christmas music and we had this album with this song on it. It's not very common, but I just love it! Your bag is spectacular! I love the detail you have used on it.

Agnieszka said...

Beautiful project! Especially love the tag and your bow is amazing!

Janet L. said...

I love the little bag, that bow has a wow factor! Golf balls are big items here, too. My favorite Christmas song is "I'll Be Home for Christmas" as it always makes me think of soldiers away from home.

Mary said...

My all time favorite Christmas song is White Christmas. It is so heartfelt and wonderful that it is impossible not to love it. It puts an image in my mind everytime I hear it. One of simple joys and warm fuzzy feelings.

Swedie said...

My favorite song is "Oh Holy Night". No special reason, I just love the way it sounds. I really like the big pouffy bow with the berries added.

Amy said...

This time of year, my favorite Christmas song is The Christmas Can Can by Straight No Chaser!

Unknown said...

My favourite Christmas song would be Hark the Herald Angels Sing- it's one of the earliest tunes i learnt :)

Susan S said...

love this...golf balls would be a big hit in my house too!

The First Noel - reminds me that Jesus came for me in a most humble way.

Kirsten said...

Okay - I am amazed at the different looks you gals created! Love it!

Kirsten said...

Mrs. Tamashiro said...

I love that bow! Christmas song...Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

labsuper said...

Silent Night is my favorite Christmas song because it is what Christmas is all about.

kathy s said...

thanks for sharing- your bag is so bright and cheery- perfect for a summer Christmas. Hard to pick a fave Christmas song there aree so many I love but it would have to probably be "O come all ye faithfull" - this just brings back so many memories when I was growing up- mum used to sing it a lot.

Anonymous said...

Your project was beautiful! I think my favorite Christmas song is "O Holy Night".

Mary Anne / MA54K said...

You have created a ral beauty here! My favorite song is Hark the Herald Angels Sing. The reason is that it is usually the recessional song at midnight service, it is officially Christmas day, and everyone is so full of joy!

Liliana said...

So beautiful! Love the ornament tag. My favorite is Silent Night because it reminds me of why we celebrate Christmas.

Anonymous said...

I love the natural tones!! Fav song... The Christmas Song by Alvin & the Chipmunks - silly, right? Well, I have 2 little boys who ADORE that song, how can you hear it without cracking a smile?!

apron girls said...

The spellbinders ornament die is a perfect touch to the bag.

cgargus said...

How cute! I can tell I'm going to have to give it up and get that ornament die! Thanks so much for the inspiration! My favorite Christmas song is probably O Come All Ye Faithful. Or Silent Night. Or Joy to the World! I think I can't just pick one!

Paula Laird said...

Love the bag and especially the ribbon!! I love anything sung by the Rat Pack or Billie Holiday and most versions of O Holy Night and Do You See What I See. And Jars of Clay's version of Little Drummer Boy. ;)

Lynn C. said...

My favorite song is The Little Drummer Boy. It reminds me of
Christ's birth, and all the things that I take for granted and shouldn't. It is song to keep one humble. It is difficult though to pick out just one song as I have many others too.
Thanks for the chance to win.

PinkPug,INK. said...

This is beautiful; that bow is perfect! Thanks for the chance to win!

Patricia Hurlburt said...

Hmmm...I'm sorry..I can't choose a favorite song..I guess I love christmas SO much that I pretty much love them all. They put me in a really good mood. Thanks for sharing.

Grace said...

Love your project!!! Oh it's hard to choose just one favorite! Classically I'd have to say O Holy Night but in more recent years tears come to my eyes when I hear Chris Thomlin sing Glory in the Highest! I even have it on my blog year round! Love it!

bernietom47 said...

For me it's not really Christmas until I hear Nat King Cole sing the Christmas Song. But I LOVE Silent Night and Angels We Have Heard on High.
Love your bag. Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win!
Blessings Bernie

Chocolate Mousie said...

The little sprig of holly is a nice touch. My favorite Christmas song has to be The Sounds of Christmas by Johnny Mathis. It wouldn't be Christmas to me without hearing his music.

farmhouse-story said...

happy christmas (beatles) i love the children singing along in the chorus!

Melany said...

Your project is beaufitul. I love the color combinations.

My favorite song is "Mary did you Know?" It brings tears to my eyes every time and reminds me of why I am celebrating the season.

Vicki said...

Love your bag, and my fav song has to be Silent Night. It speaks so much to the reason for the season for me.

Laurie Marmon said...

Classic songs like Jingle Bells and Silent Night of course! Love your take on the gift bag..so cute!

Regina Mangum said...

This is so pretty! I just love all the little details.

Rene' said...

Beautiful project! My fave Christmas song is anything from the Chipmunks Christmas Album! It has been my fave since I was a little girl. It makes me so happy to see my little girl loving it too! Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win!
Scrappy Love,
Rene'

Becky Garrison said...

Wow, I don't know how, since all the designers projects are beautiful, but I think yours is just the best! Gonna have to make some of these goodie boxes and bags!

Liz said...

I like the song "We Three Kings," it's so fun to sing! Great bag! Thanks for the inspiration!

HawaiianLibrarian said...

Beautiful! My favorite Christmas song is "O Holy Night" sung by Willie K (Kahaialii), a contemporary Hawaiian singer w/ a rich classical voice.

Kelly Sas said...

Absolutely lovely bag! My fav Christmas song is Silent Night. About 12 years ago my husband and I got to see the church where the author was inspired to write the song! (can't remember if it was in Austria or Germany right at the moment)

Paperpretties said...

What a lovely bag! I love the colors. :)

Mary said...

What a great bag! Love the ornament die cut on the front, especially since I have that same one!

My favorite Christmas song? Oh so many to pick from....

O Holy Night sung by anyone who can REALLY sing! It humbles me, which I think is appropriate.

On a lighter note I love Felice Navidad! Just cheers me right up if I start to feel stressed.
And can't forget I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas by Gala Peevy because....well....it's just too cute!

FerrellGraph-x said...

I have never paid any attention to any die other than "labels" by Spellbinders. The onament is so cool!

wings love'n crafts said...

love the box, the colors and the ribbon!! thanks for sharing!

Karen B. said...

Walking in a Winter Wonderland...so upbeat and cheery! Love those big ol' berries on your project.

Heather said...

Silent Night hands down!!! It reminds me of midnight church services and singing in the choir.

sucor said...

Beautiful bag and ornament tag! My favorite holiday song is "Silent Night" because my Mum always sang it. Now it brings back memories.

Unknown said...

Beautiful gift box! Love the colors and that ribbon is perfect!

stefeni said...

Beautiful bag! "All I want for Christmas" by Mariah Carey and "Last Christmas" by Wham are the two songs I play the most during the holidays. Love Mariah and I love the beats!

Rebecca said...

Oh Holy Night is my all time fave. Actually, I have many faves depending what mood, but here are my top: Wizards of Winter by TSO, Oh Holy Night by ANY ARTIST. It's such a beautiful song that the Afflack duck could sing it and get a standing O. And my final fave is Sleigh Ride. Again, by anyone. It's a hard song to mess up.

Sue Turner said...

So pretty. I can't wait to see the book and look at all your cards.

Jen Cuthbertson said...

Great project! All time favorite - I'm not sure about that but one that gets me going is Feliz Navidad! It is so spunky and gets my toes tapping! love it!

Cynthia Baldwin said...

My favorite Christmas song is "O Holy Night". I remember in 7th grade hearing one of our teachers sing it in his beautiful tenor voice, accompanied by other members of the faculty and our school choir. Chills! It gave me chills, he was so good...and of course the song is all about the true meaning of Christmas.
Thanks for sharing your lovely project! Golf balls are a hit with my hubby, so the packaging is perfect.

What a gorgeous bag! Perfect for golf balls? I may have to make a couple of these.
One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Angels We Have Heard On High" I just love that song and when I was pregnant with my daughter, every time that song was played she would kick like crazy to one certain part of the song where we sing Glor-or-or-or-or-or-oria!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Kelly Shea said...

White Christmas is my favorite!!!

NWFlamingo said...

Geez, I'm a church organist and I don't think I can pick "JUST ONE! If you insist I guess I'll have to go with "Joy To The World". Why? Maybe it is because it has a good beat and you can sing to it! HA! Doesn't it just make you feel happy!

"Repeat the sounding Joy" is my favorite line!

To SING to is..... "Baby it's cold outside" but the Will Ferrell/Zoe Deschanel version!!!!

Romy said...

What a beautiful and fun project! And that bow made of a burlap sheet...just pure perfection! And my favourite Christmas song must be 'All I Want For Christmas' from Mariah Carey. I know every word of that song and I love how cheery it is...perfect to get that Christmas feeling started!

LindaR said...

skeeteror said...

One of my all-time favorites is a song called "Christmas Dinner". I love it because my parents would play it every year, just before dinner, and it fit our family dinners so well! I have a huge collection of Christmas music of all genres, so it's really hard to pic just one!LOL! Love your project! ~Bev~

karahoward said...

Love your use of ornament dies. As for christmas song, how can I choose just one? I love having it on the radio constantly after Thanksgiving. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is one I love. I was able to meet one of the composers. Neat man and wonderful song. Going now to dig out my christmas cd's.

Unknown said...

What a gorgeous project! I love all the texture and little details. My favorite Christmas song? Maybe "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day." Have you ever read through all the verses? Very profound.

Eveline.

CJ said...

Beautiful job with your creation and I'm happy to get to see the spellbinders ornament die up close...it's been on my wish list...

My favorite song I think is "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" because as soon as we start to see the holiday decorations, we bust out singing it and it just sets in motion the holiday spirit!

arlsmom aka Lynda said...

Fantastic project! I love White Christmas because we didn't have one for so very long and it always makes the holiday more magical.

bzyPTmom said...

I love many Christmas songs--I guess my fav Christmas song moment is on Christmas eve, at the candle service when the lights are turned off, each person has a candle and the light gets passed around. Then we sing Silent Night--gives me chills!

SharonD said...

Snoopy's Christmas. Hands down!

Looove your gift bag!

Anonymous said...

What a beautiful project! I love the ribbon and sprig. My fave Christmas song is "The Christmas Song" also known as Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. It makes me feel nostalgic and is a very comforting song to me.

Yvonne Russell said...

A wonderful project... so fresh and elegant.

My fave Christmas carol is Little Drummer Boy. It has some great Christmas memories for me when I was a child, and also memories of Christmases sharing this gentle song with my children.

Monica said...

Great project! My favorite Christmas song is "O Holy Night". I'm not sure why it's my favorite, other than it just speaks to my heart. I remember as a child listening to Nat King Cole sing it and loved it from the first time I heard it.

Valerie said...

JMooney said...

Giovana

Wendy said...

Love your project! And I love "Oh, Holy Night" because it gives me chills and makes me tear up whenever I hear it.

Shawninaz said...

Nothing says Christmas to me like Carol of the Bells. My favorite version is on the Home Alone soundtrack. Gives me goosebumps! I've already picked up this issue and it's awesome. Luv your project!

Tina said...

I love "wishing you a merry Christmas" because it brings back the memories of when I was a little girl in school and we had the big concert and had to sing Christmas Songs

Fiorella said...

Great project and lovely colors! Silent night is my favorite Christmas song. It brings me into a magic snowy scenery

WDF said...

"Oh Holy Night" It sums up the reason for the Holiday. Great work.

Sandy said...

I love your project! My fav song -O Come Let us Adore Him - celebrating the birth of Jesus is the whole reason for Christmas!

Anne B. said...

I have several Christmas songs that I love and Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl is definitely one of them. Combines hope and broken dreams in a magical way. Always get teary eyed when I hear it.

Amy K said...

This is beautiful - I love all the texture.
I love Christmas music, so it's hard to pick just one, but I'd have to say traditionally, my favorite is O Holy Night, simply because it helps keep me focused on the true meaning of Christmas!

Carol said...

I love your color and style sense. This 12 Designers of Christmas could not be more timely - just as the weather gets cooler and I want to be inside again, you give me all this inspiration for lovely paper crafting!

Sandra Korten said...

I absolutly love the ornament on your giftbag! Great job!
My favorite song is Rudolph the red nose reindeer! I remind me of me when I was little because I always had a cold during the winter and got a red nose too. So they called me sometimes Rudolph! LOL!
Sandra :-)

TDJ said...

calamity jane said...

This is a beautiful gift bag. That bow!! OMG..it is simply wonderful!

Natalie said...

I love Christmas hymns-- the music is beautiful and the words are full of truth. one of my favorites (it's really hard to pick) is "Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming"-- hauntingly beautiful.

Ravengirl said...

What a fun little box! My favorite Christmas song is the Ukrainian Bell Carol or the Carol of the Bells. I think I love it because of how the melody moves under the repetitive theme in the music. It's hard to explain, but I could sing it to you!

Wanita said...

I can't wait until Dec 1st when my hubby lets me listen to Christmas music in the house ;) My two favorites would be "Winter Wonderland" and "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord" by Boney M.

stampingandstitching said...

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love it! My favourite Christmas song is Silent Night because of the words and it reminds me of being a child and going to midnight mass with my parents on Christmas Eve - it was a treat to stay up so late!

bevyb said...

What a beautiful project, love the burlap bow and berry accent.
Favorite Christmas song...hmm..Silent night, because it sums up what Christmas is all about. On the lighter side.."we need a little Christmas" from Auntie Mame

Anonymous said...

I love so many Christmas songs that it is hard to pick one. Let It Snow (not sure that's the real title!) is one favorite. I 'm always hoping for snow around Christmas so when the weather outside is frightful, i can be inside, cozy and delightful!! Probably crafting!!

Becs Attwood said...

Great bag - love the ornament emellishment (that die is going on my wishlist!). My favorite Christmas song is "Oh Holy Night" - it is such a beautiful song it gives me chills every time I hear it.

Charmaine said...

Love the ribbon you used for your project...can I ask where you got it?

Love Christmas music...Christmas is my favorite time of year. My all time favorite song is White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby...it gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.

Charmaine

Pam Hornschu said...

Love the simplicity of your design and the rustic ribbon that you added.

Karey said...

Amy Grant's my life long Christmas wish (I think that's the name) is the song that comes to mind.
Enjoying hopping and seeing all the great projects.

BethW said...

I'll be Home for Christmas tears me up every time. Has so much meaning for so many people-including me now that my boys are spread far and wide.

Bonita Rose said...

Mary DId You Know.. love that song!

Brooke said...

How special that your families Christmas traditions have been going for so long. I hope one day to be able to have that for my family too.

I love Silent Night. We watch carols on tv and it's a favourite. It brings back memories of watching past carols with my family and hearing my Mum sing along.

Lori Hefner said...

I love your idea...very sweet! My favorite song is jingle bells. Our 2 year olds at the daycare sing it everyday, and it makes me smile everytime!

mb said...

I like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!". Sweet song! A close second would be U2's "Christmas/Baby Please Come Home". Love the berry detail used in this project!

Janine said...

Wow! I don't think I can choose one, there are so many! My mom played the organ for church and we use to sing together so this reminds me of her and us singing together! I miss that, she so enjoyed playing the piano and singing. :-)
Your box is great! Thanks for sharing colors and creation!

Marge said...

WOW -- totally LOVE this -- that corrugated ornament is awesome & that bow is simply perfection!!!

Tanya said...

Love this! I really want to make some of the bags now. I only hope mine would be half as nice. My very favorite Christmas song is Harry Connick Jr.'s version of Ave Maria, because it reminds me of my grandmother, it was her favorite song.

Wow! This is great - the idea that this box is the right size for a sleeve golfballs, that's great!

And favorite Christmas song would probably be 'All I Want For Christmas' from the movie Love Actually.

Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Lovely gift bag you created....great colors!
My favorite Christmas song has to be the one by John Lennon....and the only reason is....my husband recorded all 5 children singing it while he played the guitar and sang along with them. Just to hear their precious voices singing those lyrics makes me get teary eyed everytime I listen to the cd. (That was our Christmas present to family members a couple of years ago.)

I love everything about your box - the bow, berries, die cut, colors - everything! My favorite Christmas song is Jingle Bell Rock. When I was about 10yrs. old, I got a record player for Christmas with that record. I played it over and over again, probably til February. Don't think it was mom and dad's favorite song! ;)

Beautiful gift bag. Love the ornament and the bow! I absolutely love White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby. Love his voice and the song embodies Christmas for me - I love the scene in the movie where they are all dressed in red and white and it's snowing. So beautiful.

My favorite Christmas song is "O Come All Ye Faithful" because (1) it is beautiful and (2) years ago, in Latin class, I learned the latin words for the first couple of lines and I still remember them so I always sing those first two lines in Latin and the rest in English. Iris
