1. Welcome: Warm Holiday Greetings

The clock is ticking! Only a few days remain for holiday shopping. Congrats to anyone who has everything wrapped and is sitting back enjoying a glass of eggnog. (Will you please share your insights with the rest of us?)

While my shopping is done, holiday baking has now overtaken my kitchen, and I’m finishing up a few handmade gifts. You’ll see some of my treats in “Creative Corner” below and learn how I used Lettering Delights products to spruce up the packaging.

Another easy way to spruce up your holiday gifts is with LD Gift Tag Snippits. Choose from six holiday designs, including Christmas and Hanukkah. Buy any LD Gift Tag Snippit (only $1 each), and with a simple click you can download the electronic pdf file that just needs to be printed and trimmed. They couldn’t be easier to use!

No matter what remains on your to-do list, remember that the holidays are a time to celebrate, a time to honor family and friends, a time to reflect on the good things in your life. May you enjoy the very happiest of holidays!

2. Creative Corner: How to Create Quick Gift Tags
from Journaling Delights

Journaling Delights are images with many fun uses. As their name implies, they make great decorative boxes for journaling; use the Lettering Delights browser to type on and resize them. In addition, they can be used as gift tags and accents for cards, scrapbook pages, tags, gift wrap and more. Most Journaling Delights sets have coordinating alphabets for even more fun options.

In the projects shown here, I used several different Journaling Delights and attached them to holiday treats.

These gingerbread cookies are all wrapped up and ready to be taken home by holiday visitors. Using the tag images from JJD Cookie Man and JD Holly Berry (with a “Happy Holidays” greeting in KF Twirl), I made simple tags to dress up the packaging.

The bags of holiday goodies each feature a different tag that needs no additional text. From right to left in the photo, the designs I used are JJD Santa’s Helpers, Christmas Fun (image from the Essential Jillustration Collection CD, JD Candy Cane and JD Snowman Tags.


Creating tags for holiday treats using Journaling Delights is simple.

  1. Open the Lettering Delights browser and click the Journaling Delights tab on the left. From the Category drop-down box in the upper right corner, select either Journaling Delights or Jillustration. Browse the Sub Categories to find a JD Image Set that best fits the theme you are looking for.
  2. Select the image you want to use, and click Add to place the image on the clipboard.
  3. Move to the layout page and click the image in the Image box to place it on the page. Select the image and then Size Image. Enter the dimensions you want for your image; check the “Constrained” box for the width or height to be sure that the image sizes proportionally.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you have all the tags you want.
  5. Print the images on cardstock, and trim as needed.

    Tie or adhere the tags to your holiday gifts, and give with love!

5. Holiday 2005 Scrap Packs Bundle

What’s a scrap pack? It’s a collection of matched Journaling Delights, alphabets and fonts to you help create quick, coordinated scrapbook pages. You can even use the elements on a series of pages to create an entire coordinated album. Once you buy the scrap pack, you can print as many copies as you want! How’s that for a good value? Remember, the Journaling Delights sets include pieces that can be used as page accents, not just journaling boxes.
