Imagincse Christmas Recipe Mug Using Polar Expressions

Posted by scrapbook on October 9, 2009 under Uncategorized | Be the First to Comment

Christmas time is my favorite time of the year. Recently all my favorite Christmas songs have been popping up when I’m listening to my iTunes library. One of the best parts about this holiday is the yummy treats!! One of our favorite family traditions is to each choose a favorite cookie, or bar, and we all work together to make them for Christmas Eve. We then finish them up Christmas morning while opening presents. At CHA this summer I took this class from Imaginsce. They took the idea of a classic mini-album and turned it into the clever idea of a Christmas favorite recipes book.  I love the idea and result! I cannot wait to open this book the week before Christmas and start making all the recipes I’ve kept in it. The best part is that this project is quick and easy. It uses the brand new Polar Expressions line for Imaginsce. It’s one of my favorite Christmas lines we picked up this year. Using the extra supplies i even made a card! I’ve added a picture of the card and final product at the end. ENJOY!
