Fall Treat Bag

Just a quick post to show you a neat project for treat bags.  I know some people don't celebrate Halloween, this project can be used for celebrating the Harvest or even Thanksgiving.  I used a burlap sac that I purchased at Hobby Lobby ($2.99 each), Copic markers, Neenah #80, my Pazzles (swirled Maple Leaf cut file), and some Stickles. The stamp is a digi from Bugaboo, the letters are from Wal-Marts craft section and I used 1/2" and 3/4" circle punches to make the fall.  The front image is a removable card.   I hope you give it try, thanks for stopping by.

I just attached the remaining leaves I made to the back of the bag.

New Hire Welcome

Hi everyone, today I want to share a quick and cute project that I did for our new hires.  Just a little something to say congratulation, welcome, and glad you are apart of the team.  I used my Cricut Expression and Tags, Bags, Boxes and more 2 cartridge along with my Storybook cartridge to cut out these charming little gable boxes.  I cut them on the largest setting in the manual for that particular box.  I used a Textured Cardstock Pad by We R Memory Keepers (Wal-Mart $4.79 on clearance).  I thought the colours were nice for fall. I used a wet glue to put them together (Aleens).   HEADS UP: you will need that score blade (purple).  You have to make the score marks first, DO NOT REMOVE YOUR MAT when the scoring is finish!!!! YOU HAVE TO change to the cutting blade (greenish yellow or blue for deep cut), then PUSH LOAD MAT  this will return the blade housing back to the original position to ensure your cut matches up with your scoring.  It seems like a lot of work but once you do 1 or 2, it's a breeze.   It just so happened that I purchased that scoring blade on one of my "Olivia Pope" moments...My eyes kept coming back to this blade while I was in the store (months ago), so my GUT told me get the blade...It's on sale anyway...you will need this in the future...I don't know why but you will. Something I fervently believe and has proved correct since I started paper crafting is...IF YOU ARE IN A CRAFT STORE AND YOUR EYES KEEP COMING BACK TO AN ITEM, IF YOU HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE...GET THAT ITEM!!  It does not matter when you will use it, just know that YOU WILL. It will come at a time when you least expect it and you will be darn glad you got that item.    Thank goodness for Olivia Pope (lol).  That woman fixes stuff she doesn't even know about!  This was also a last minutes project so, I did not have time to make them breathing-takingly gorgeous; but they are cute.    They are great for special events such as birthdays, weddings, etc.

Rick St. Denis' French Clown

Hey everyone,
     Wow! It seems the more I try to keep up with posting, the busier I get with other stuff.  Certainly not enough time to do what I enjoy the most...CREATE!  It's late but I want to share a card with you  that I did for Memas Crafts September challenge as an inspiration card.  I used a Rick St. Denis digi called French Clown.  I absolutely love anything French, so I had to do this one.  Since this is a quick post, I won't go into too much detail.  I used to some old textured paper and cut the FLEUR DE LYS or LIS border using a Spellbinders die.  The checker paper I believe is from Hobby Lobby and the printed paper is from Fab Scraps.  I coloured lil' Frenchie with my Copics and Atyou Spica -Gold pen, added some WOC fleur, a little mesh material and voila! my Hommage en France is complete.  Well, got to go for now. I've another full day ahead of me tomorrow.
