This past week, our office did a "White Elephant" grab bag exchange meaning each person was to bring something from home and try not to spend any $$$. Love that idea. Well, the grab bag I brought was one of my MANY unused cookbooks with delicious chicken recipes. A few days before our exchange, I decided to make some cards too. Since I didn't have much time, I kept it CAS and made 3 designs, 2 of each.
Here's the first one. The image is by Dandelion Designs "Friends Set" which I inked up with Copics. The branch die is called "Woodland Branch" by Memory Box from Island Scrapbooking. I also used a scallop punch by EK, loop die by Sizzix, embossing folder by Cuttlebug, and sakura (cherry blossom) laser cuts by and from Island Scrapbooking.
And here are 2 of them....
For my next card, I used the "Tall Vase" and "Fairy Flower" dies by Poppy Stamps from Island Scrapbooking, embossing folder by Cuttlebug, DP and laser cut sentiment from Island Scrapbooking.
And here are 2 of them.....
Finally, this potted plant. The pot die is by Spellbinder, "Fuchsia Sprig" die by Memory Box from Island Scrapbooking, sentiment by QuicKutz, butterfly punch by EK, embossing folder by Cuttlebug, and pearls by Kaiser Crafts.
And here are 2 of them.....
I'm super thrilled to have received this gorgeous Hawaiian print blanket that my co-worker made. I LOVE IT!!!!
Thanks for stopping by and HAVE A SCRAP HAPPY DAY!!!

The white elephant exchange is a great idea. I'll have to remember to suggest it next year. I'm sure the recipient of your cookbook and cards was very pleased. Thank you for sharing your life and creativity. It's always interesting to read your blog.
Hi Karen this sounds a great idea, and what a lovely gift you received.
Your cards are as always just lovely, whoever receives them will be delighted, hugs Kate x
Cute cards, an added bonus with the cookbooks to your co-worker. and the blanket you got is lovely. Great color.
White elephants at my office is either about pillows, weird gifts or alcohol. Mainly alcohol, oh and gift cards. lol...
I like your idea, but with our group who knows what we'd end up with. ;)
