If you sew chances are good that you also dabble in a few other hobbies. I am not a scrapbooker, but for nearly 15 years my dabbling has been close by being the custodian of family contacts - keeping track of aunts, uncles and cousins on my Mom's side of the family. Don't use fabric or thread here, but a few sewing tools and stash items sure are imperative. Here's what I do...
Choose a beautiful Christmas or holiday card. I combine birthdays and anniversaries in a running list, then dedicate one page per family with mailing addresses and other contact information. Most of the time I need to trim standard 8/5" x 11" paper to fit the card, so I use the Roll The Gold Titanium Blades. These blades cut slick... on paper and fabric!

I fold the family info sheets and secure them in the card with ribbon from my stash. Plus this year I found cute little 3D poinsettias to further embellish the sheets.

Yesterday I combined 18 Christmas cards with the family address book. Since all the supplies were handy, this project took about 4 hours - printing the address sheets took the longest chunk of time. Christmas cards are in the mail and will hopefully make their destinations in time for Christmas.
