Paper Inkspirations: Studio G

Welcome to Paper Inkspirations!

Hi! My name is Krissy, welcome to my blog. I have been an avid paper-crafter for many years, my addiction started with scrapbooking and has evolved to card-making. It all started when I realized that I had forgotten to buy a card for my nephew's birthday. Looking at my ever-expanding collection of scrapbook supplies, I thought I'd made a card for him. Since then, I've been hooked on card-making and my scrapbooks have been collecting dust. Someday I'll get back to them... I have two beautiful boys and a wonderful & supportive husband and I work at the Preschool at our church. When I'm not spending time with my family or making cards, I enjoy being active in our church. Life is good! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy your visit.

Take time to get inky today....

Last Year's Christmas Gifts

This was the gift I gave some of the teachers and a few friends last year for Christmas. The bag is filled with sugar coookie mix, and has a bag of sprinkles attached. Inside the to-go coffee cup is a bag filled with cocoa mix. The plastic spoons were dipped in melted chocolate and have marshmallows on them. The little pop-top ban has a handful of Hershey's kisses inside. Stay tuned I'll show you this year's gifts in the next few days.

Snowman Gift Tag

Last year one of my favorite gifts that I gave anyone was a set of gift tags for my college roommate. This was one that I included in her collection. I like the was the snowflake flourish looks behind Mr. Snowman. Gift tags are a quick and easy project and a great way to use up scraps of paper and ribbon.
