Let it Snow Card for Gecko Galz Cross Promotion

Here is a little something I made for the Gecko Galz Cross Promtion with Robyn Gough! I loved the background paper she had, an aqua woodgrain pattern, very wintery!

Head over to the Gecko Galz Blog for info on how to make this!

Cupcake Wrapper Wreath

Last year I saw a picture of a wreath wrapped in cupcake wrappers! And as I went through my Christmas craft supplies, I found the cupcake wrappers that I bought for this project. I like to buy stuff after the holidays, so I picked up 2 packages of 60 ct.

I couldn't find the post again, so I went off of memory and common sense to make one myself.


I used a foam wreath form that is from the Dollar Tree. It isn't a large size, about 10 inches in diameter. I added double sided tape around the back. The I cut the centers out of my cupcake wrappers. I wrapped them around the wreath form, overlapping as I went along. It took about 50 of the medium sized ones 1.75 inch I think).

After it was finished, I added a red glitter bow that came with a twist tie. I still have to add a hanger. I plan on putting it in the playroom since it is so brightly colored and fun. 

So be sure to stock up on cupcake liners after the holidays! 

Happy Scrappy Savings!
