Edited to add: because Waltzingmouse Stamps is on vacation and won't begin shipping again until January 5th, we'll keep this competition open until then. Enjoy!
OMGoodness!! I wish I could claim snow as the reason this post is so late, but it's strictly due to an unfortunate lapse in memory. I got so caught up in the activities of last evening, that I plum (or is it plumb?) forgot to do the post. Please forgive me (Lisa)!
Now, without further delay, let us all draw a collective deep breath and sing sing sing!

I'm most likely to try Mona's coupon book from Day 11. It's just oozing with fabulous designs, and so versatile (and did I mention it's just yummy?)!
ReplyDeleteI am most likely to try out Jennifer's felt mitten stocking stuffer...so cute!
ReplyDeleteLoved all the fab projects, but I really want to try Anyas luminaries the most!!
ReplyDeleteYes you are forgiven Lisa, I've loved all the 12 days of Christmas but I think I like the Joan's tag folder best, I made lots of tags this year for my grandaughters school xmas bazzar, so I will keep these in mind, and make more also I think it would make a nice little scrap album gift.
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hugs Carol xx
I'll be first! I would most likely try Sandie's tags! They look easy and not so time consuming at this busy time!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite was the third day with the tip for using VersaMark on alarge stamp prior to inking it up. Shall definitely try that one.

I simply ADORE Jennifer's mitten project - FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteSay it isn't so. This is the last day :( I just LOVE today's project and hope to create this very soon. I've got lots of ideas for the coin envelope mini-album.
ReplyDeletewell it was not easy to choose but i really love the coin envelope album that Joan has made today it was a beautiful project and very clever thanks for the giveaway xx
ReplyDeleteGiggling because I knew Joan was next and already went and saw her gorgeous little album! I'm really going to miss these daily projects! This has been great!! As far as which projects I will try, I'm going to be optimistic and say all of them! Any one of them would make a really sweet gift. You guys have a great holiday too!
ReplyDeleteI have already made tags similar to Day. I am actually giving sets of cards (Thank You's and Valentines) as Christmas presents. I was just going to wrap them with ribbon, but now I think I need to make those great A2 boxes featured in day 10!!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be making some boxed card sets using the template Laurie provided! Thanks for all of the great ideas!
ReplyDeleteHave loved each day's little surprise, has it really been 12 Days? I'm going to miss this each morning.
ReplyDeleteI can't pick an absolute fav, but I definitely want to try Anya's, Bonnie's, Sandie's (LOVED those tags!) Jennifer's and Joan's. Making notes for next year!
Mona's was beautiful and I like to think I could recreate it but I don't think I could do it justice. I thought Laurie's gift box with cards is a great idea and I love that she gave us the template. It was pretty and yet functional for anyone! This was a lot of fun to get our creative juices going for the January new release!!!
ReplyDeleteThe ideas the past 12 days have been SO creative! Very impressive. What am I likely to try? Well, the tags (Sandie) are a given. I love making tags. And the cards for giving (Laurie's project) is something I'd like to try. And the M&M gifts (Lynn) are special - I love the associated poem.
ReplyDeleteOh AGAIN everything was so fab! I will definitely be like Sandie making lots of tags, but I have GOT to try Joan's little coin pocket idea someday soon...so much fun to think of what could go inside! THANKS ladies for a most excellent 12 Days of Christmas Inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so wonderful and heartfelt, but I think my favorite from days 7-12 is day 8, Jennifer's stitched mitten stocking stuffer - it reminds me of the felt ornaments I used to make from those Bucilla ornament kits. Lynn's m&m treats were a very close second! Thanks for another chance to win Claire!
ReplyDeleteI am a teacher and always looking for little gifts for my students. I have to say from day 7 - 12 my favorite is...
ReplyDeleteOn the seventh day of Christmas, dear Lynn brought you...treat bags full of cheer!

Once again, I love ALL the projects that have been featured throughout each of the twelve days. I particularly adore the little treat bags full of cheer which Lynn brought us on day 7. What a fab idea! Thanks for the inspiration. x
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try Jennifer's felt mittens - they are sooo sweet. But I will definately try some of the other's too - but it will have to wait till I'm done with the mittens!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win. / Karin
Thank you for these twelve days of lovely inspiration!!! I had so much fun visiting all the ladies blogs with all these beauties to admire! My fave of this second hald are Sandies Gift tags! And I'll surely make some for christmas!! They look so lovely on a present, which immediately makes it a present, without even opening! ;-) Thanks for all!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Wendy
Oh boy, that was fun. I really think I'll make the darling project Lynn brought to us on day #7!! So fun!
ReplyDeleteEveryone's projects were so inventive and lovely! I will have to make more than one!
I think I will try the fabby stocking. I have always wanted to learn that blanket stitch. Have a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are all great projects. I think I'd like to try them all and the 1st on my list if Joan's little album. All though I don't think I'll have time to get it in for this Christmas. :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you for sharing your time and talent with us. I really appreciate it and really enjoy checking out all of your blogs.
Wishing you & yours a Happy & Healthy Holiday!
Paula
Thanks for the wonderful 12 days of Christmas. Mona and Joan's works of art were amazing. A-MAZING.
ReplyDeleteLaurie's cards and gift box were beautiful and I might just give them a whirl. Thanks again!
My favs are Lynn's on day 7 ( I'm making them for some girls I teach at church: thanks for the idea, Lynn!!!), and day 12: I love the tag album: so pretty, and simple enough that I think I can do it!! You ladies are all so talented: I've loved the 12 days of Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!!
my favorite project has to be anya's luminaria. they are just beautiful. the soap bottle idea is just way too clever, though!
ReplyDeleteI just loved Carly's frame!!! It was beautiful!!! I have to try it for myself...thanks for the inspiration! And thanks for a chance to win a stamp set!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Mona's coupon book.... such a treasure of special touches to make the book. Loads of great details!
ReplyDeleteDeniseB
Day 8 - the mittens, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful 12 days!

Oh there are so many good choices. I love the little mitten stocking stuffer that Jennifer made and the cute coin envelope mini-album from Joan but I think my jaw dropped when I saw Mona's amazing coupon book.
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies for sharing your wonderful creativity.
So many fabby ideas. I have always loved mini albums so the project I really want to try is Joan's coin envelope album.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all these fantasic inspirations!
ReplyDeleteI would to try Sandies Gift tags. It's for a quickly gift.
I'm in love with Jennifer's felt mittens!!! Just love them!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Claire,
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely Day 11 for me, Mona's Coupon Book was just totally inspirational, I think there are enough ideas from her post that will keep me going for a long time. Beautiful work by all the talented team members, but that Coupon Book was a total winner for me :) thanks for the opportunity to win :) and thank you for always giving us so much inspiration on using your highly addictive stamps :)
Hugs
Angie :)
I would definitely love to try Mona coupon book. I was totally wowed by it!!!
ReplyDeleteI have loved viewing all the 12 days of Christmas ideas! My favorite of the last six are Jennifer's cute felt mittens. These would be perfect to make for all my little nieces and nephews! Loving Mona's coupon book, and will definitely be giving Joan's coin envelope album a try!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be making some mini stockings that Jennifer made...so cute!
ReplyDeleteJoan's for sure...that album looked like I could do a couple in a short time...since time is running out...very quickly. It's a great way, too, to ink some of the not used images in a few of the sets that I do own! I have pics of friends at Busch Gardens from 10 days ago and they would look great in one of those albums!!!! Thanks Claire and your whole team for the inspiration that was gleaned from this joyful 12 days.
ReplyDeleteI love Laurie's card and gift box set! Who wouldn't love to receive that as a gift?! And I also love that she gave a template for the box!
ReplyDeleteI love all the projects but that coupon book is awesome. I think I just might to try that for my husband for valentine's day.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVED loved LOOOOVED Mona's book, and have decided to make a variation of it as an anniversary gift for my hubby! I also love the clear soap idea, and have logged that one away for future use! :)
ReplyDeleteI have loved ALL of the ideas and will miss peeking in each day for a new fabulous project.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite though, has to be the coupon book. The amazing layers and surprises were so inspirational.
I really like Mona's coupon book. I just need to get some more tools to make something like that :)
ReplyDeleteJoan's coin envelope, definitely.... such a great idea for any special occasion!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan!
Angela xxx.
Wow! They are all so beautiful! Thanks for this fun 12 Days blog waltz!
ReplyDeleteIn terms of the days 7-12 projects, I would like to try Joan's voin envy first.
Thanks to all the designers for posting such beautiful art for everyone to enjoy and be inspired! I know I will be doing some gift tags, cards, treat bags and gift packaging to wrap up for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to only choose one! I'll probably try several of them, but my favourite is the little tag booklet on day 12! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI actually want to make the coupon book! I have to get ready for birthday parties next January and I think those will be a hit!
ReplyDeleteI love the cards with the custom box. I always love to give people cards, so the box would make the gift even more special.
ReplyDeleteWonderful bloghop! I loved Mona's coupon book. The paper and images are just gorgeous. Vintage is my favorite for Christmas crafts.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm actually working on my monogrammed hand sanitizer gifts, and I'm thinking that next year I'll do Jen's mitten stocking stuffer gifts for each of my girlie co-workers. I am definitely going to be making coin envelope folders thanks to Joan! The parents and grandparents will love them!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Sandie's gift tags, because I need them NOW. But when I have time, I am going to try Laurie's card set holder. I think it would be a nice Mother's Day gift. Have really enjoyed all 12 days.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I love books so I think I will be making a coupon book like Mona's- so cute. I love the believe tag and am itching to get the stamps that match the dies. Wish Santa was bringing me some but maybe it will have to be the easter bunny.
ReplyDeleteI'm most likely to try Jennifer's mitten stocking stuffer from Day 8. Why? Because it's beautiful and elegant, but seems simple enough for me to do. My niece asked me yesterday I could make some small stocking to package hand lotions in. I think these mittens would be more appropriate. Get it? Mittens? Hand lotion?
ReplyDeleteI am most likely to try Lynn's treat bags and Jennifer's felt mittens.
ReplyDeleteI loved all of the projects but I've got luminarias on my short list of projects I want to try! Thanks for all of the inspiration, ladies, and a Merry Christmas to all!!
ReplyDeleteAll the projects are lovely and I will be trying many but IF I had to pick one to start with it would be Jennifer's felt mittens. Wouldn't they look adorable hanging on the tree?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Claire, for all of your inspiration and for the wonderful journey you are taking us on.
I'm very taken with the versatility of the Nestie Friendly stamps range, so I'm very keen to try Sandie's tag ideas which could be adapted for year round use... wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by all the amazing talent on this blog hop. Mona's coupon book was incredible and I am already printing the "helping hands soap containers." However the one project I am most grateful for is Laura's A2 card box and cards. That is my next endeavour. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI would be most likely to try the adorable little mitten stocking stuffer and the great idea to stamp on lip gloss!! I also love the coin envelope mini album. Thanks for all the great inspiration.
