Christmas is by far my favorite Holiday. Every year I am reminded of how Blessed I am and how much there is to do this month of December! What a contrast those two realizations are.
Years ago, my family begun a Christmas Cookie Swap and every year I am asked to make my now family "famous" Fantasy Fudge. I feel like I am a pro at making them though my excitement (about making them) diminishes after the first (of 7-10) batches. I do it because I expect my Mother to make my favorite Almond Christmas Tree press cookies (as payback). LOL, gotta get my way any way possible! :))This year, to save time searching for a cookie recipe for swaps I made an executive decision to make fudge for all cookie swaps. Mainly because last year I made a cookie that took FOR-ever to make and felt like someone (who received the cookie) didn't like it. So, this year I'm making chocolate- a tried and true recipe. I suppose not everyone can be happy 100% of the time. ;)
I made the below Aprons out of Stampin' Up! card stock and SU DSP. They are pockets to hold my recipe card. Because my recipe card is an Extra Large size I had to make the apron a little larger to fit. The card stock is cut 6.5x8.5 and the pocket is cut 2.5x6.5. I will use them as LARGE tags for the swap boxes.
I made a total of 3 Apron Recipe Tag Holders
This one is my favorite Apron. It uses last years SU Christmas DSP.
This Apron uses Candy Cane Christmas DSP. And, Certainly Celery CS.
This Apron Also uses pattern paper from this years SU Christmas DSP (Candy Cane Christmas) and Pink Pirouette card stock (CS)
Each Apron is Cut
6.5 x 8.5 for the base apron
2.5 x 6.5 for the pocket
