Happy Insta Girls: Saint Nick and the White Elephant

Hello and welcome to the Happy Insta Girls blog hop, Saint Nick's Day edition! We have a special this month: not only do we sent a pretty card to a recipient, they also get a White Elephant card kit which must be used for the next hop. So this is kind of a naughty and nice game this time around ;)

Let's start with the nice part, shall we? Tanja was the recipient of my package. I had recently purchased a new Christmas stamp set and it appeared on my door step just in time to put that to good use. Hope Tanja liked the watercolored bear :)

Next up, is my White Elephant card kit for Tanja. She's quite lucky since I had to pack up my craft supplies two weeks before we decided on the blog hop theme and I purged most of the really old and ugly stuff. So, basically my kit contains leftover SC card kit items I didn't get to use and some complimentary gifts from local craft shops.

Now, here's the card I got in the mail from Christine. Isn't it so cute? As if she knew it, she picked turquoise for the main color, which is one of my favorites. Also, I never made or received a spinner card so this was a special treat in and of itself. Thank you, Christine!

Here's the White Elephant kit I received from Christine. I'll be honest and tell you the huge metal brads are a favorite. not ;) But I'm really happy with most of the content and think it will be fun to create with this for January blog hop!
