Cocoa Copycat

Ever the copycat, I got the idea for the treatbag from my best friend. I call it an "oldie but goody," because she and I have both been using it for years. She, more than me, but I have done a variation of the bag many times and for many occassions. This time I used the bag to cover a package of hot cocoa mix, which I will be handing out as my holiday gift at work. A simple project, so not too much more to explain!! Thanks for looking and here's the recipe:

Wishing You Joy: SU Old Olive, Real Red and Very Vanilla paper, Very Vanilla Ribbon, Fun Puns stamp set, close to cocoa ink, jumbo eyelets, Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder and a $1.00 stamp from Michael's for the sentiment.

Happy Holidays: SU So Saffron, Purely Pomegranate and Very Vanilla paper, Jumbo eyelet, scalloped edge punch, nestablilities tags 2 (I think), Purely Pomegranate and Old Olive ink and a $1.00 clear stamp set.

Merry Christmas: SU Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla, and Chocolate Chip paper, scalloped rectangle nesties, PTI ribbon, Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip ink, and a $1.00 clear stamp set for the snowflake and the sentiment is a Hobby Lobby stamp.

Christmas Gifts

Hey Everyone! I don't have a lot of time to offer all the details, but here is my finished Stationery Box Gift Set. My friend Jana gave one to me for my birthday and I couldn't wait to make one of my own! She got the design from Dannie's Designs and it is such a great idea! I made three boxes for each of my co-workers. On the inside are 6 cards, 2 each of 3 different designs, 3 little notecards and 4 tags.

I used SU paper and Basic Grey Pink Lemonade paper pack. I have already posted 2 of the 3 cards about a month ago, but here is the rest of the finished project. Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays!

Pages and Pages and Pages

Whew! I have been busy! I don't have much time to write much about these pages. Just wanted to share some of my latest work of my most popular subject! I made a couple of these pages at the crop this weekend, one this summer and one last night! Thanks for looking and have a Happy Halloween!

Spooky Treat Bags

Well, I spent the weekend back at home and went to a crop! I had a lot of fun with Lisa, Jana and my other papercrafting friends from home. I made plenty of new pages which I will post in the next couple of days and of course, we spent most of the time talking! I spent the night with Lisa and we woke up early the next day and started playing again in her wonderful craftroom. I made these cute lilttle spooky treat bags (I named them Frank and Mumford) to give to my co-workers this week for Halloween. I gto the idea from Jana, who got it from Chicnscratch Blog. That's probably the end of my Halloween "madness" as I am getting ready to move on to Thanksgiving and Christmas. And of course, continue to make scrapbook pages. Happy Halloween this week to everyone!

Recipe for Frank: Wild Wasabi SU paper, Basic Black cardstock, google eyes, black Sharpie, pop dots, and green brads

Recipe for Mumford the Mummy: Vintage Cream cs from PTI, Vintage touch ink in chai, and camoile, colorbox chestnut, colorbox dune, Basic Black cs, and black brads

Too Cute To Be Spooky

I am really happy about getting back into my craftroom! In keeping with the season, I decided to make a layout with last year's Halloween pictures. I know I am a year late, but I have decided that it is a fruitless effort to scrapbook in chronological order. I am just doing it when I have time and when I see a picture I like. It makes my hobby less stressful and more enjoyable. I have had this paper for over 3 years. I bought it on clearance for $2 at Wal-Mart and finally put it to good use! I made the letters on my Cricut using my mini-monograms cartrdige. The buttons and ribbon came along with the paper. The baby is mine! lol... Enjoy!

Witching You...

This was a quick card I made last night to just unwind. It's not my best work, but it was fun. I have had the stamp set for about 3 years and it's one of my favorites, but I have never made the time to use it. The stamps are from SU and the paper is just a basic colored cardstock from Hobby Lobby. I colored the images with my Wondercolor crayons and my water color pencils.

It must be the weather

I managed to make 2 posts in 2 days and made 6 more cards last night... that must be the reason for all of the rain. Anyway, here is the 2nd card for the stationary set. I am planning on putting 6 cards total, 2 each of 3 designs, along with some name tags and other tags. Hopefully, I can complete them over the next couple of weeks and move on to some other Holiday projects! TFL!
