Because my friends and I decided no "presents", I knew these clutches with the candles would be perfect for them.  I did start making these back in July when I was in a Christmas In July Blog Hop.  I have been making these clutches like crazy the last few days for since I will be seeing a lot of my friends in the next couple of days.

I found the template here.

Recipe:
Paper, ribbon and brad come from my stash
Flowers are I Am Roses and Recollections
Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst Spray in Cathedral Pines Green
Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Fired Brick


Another view.

I could fit 2 small candles placed on their sides.

Today I went with something a little different.  As I was getting ready for a holiday party I noticed that I didn't have any hair accessories lol.  My hair is long and my hairstyles get kinda stale sometimes so I tend to dress my hair up when I can.  I made two hair accessories for the holiday but one will be great for Valentine's and one will be great for any occasion.  I will most likely make a few more as I have a ton of parties before the New Year.

Sorry for the squiffy picture.  Could not get a clear picture.

The hair clip and comb I've had forever...I keep a stash so I can make my own :)
MB's Treasurista Mini Clear Acrylic Flower With Stem and Silver Mesh Bling
Copic Sketch Marker R27
