Christmas Cutting Board Gifts

Its the Secret Santa Blog Hop at Scrapbook Blessings Club!

http://scrapbookblessings.blogspot.com/2013/12/secret-santa-blog-hop.html
 
Merry Christmas to you all from the SBC Design Team. We are so excited because Santa is taking a mini- break in the preparations for his annual Christmas Eve debut.  He came by for a visit and hopped over to each of the Design Team's blogs.  The good news is that he said none of us are on the naughty list!  And, he did leave some presents just for you, our followers.  Its a secret though! We don't know which blogs have the presents, but I do know he picked two of us, yeah!!!  All you have to do is follow us here at the club, hop over at each blog, leave a comment for the girls and follow all the blogs.
 
I've been creating Christmas Gifts!!
 
I found Cutting Boards at Walmart for .97 cents and thought - heck ya!

.97 cents
So, I went to my Silhouette Cameo and created a print and cut file to place on these "cost-effective" gifts.  I printed my file onto Square1 Printable and stuck it right on the front of the cutting board.

What's nice about the Square1 is I didn't worry about getting it laid straight the first time.  This product is so forgiving, it lets you adjust until you're satisfied. 

So, in no time flat, I cranked out a few more.

3 gifts done!

Might as well make myself one while I'm at it.

And 1 for me, too!

Thanks for visiting my blog.  Don't forget you need to be a follower of my blog and leave me a comment below letting me know you came by.  Hopefully, you liked what you saw and will come again soon.  I'm planning on posting other Christmas gifts I'm making through out this coming week.
