Fall Carnival

Hello Everyone and welcome back!  It is Fall and I am lovin’ it!   The Eclectic Ellapu theme for October is “FALL”.  So let’s see all those beautifully created fall projects. Your project does not have to be a card; it can be anything related to fall as long as it is wonderfully created by you!!!   For my design team project I did some Fall Carnival Treat Bags with the help of my awesome Cricut Maker!  I am also participating in the Sweet Treats Collaboration on YT hosted by Tonya aka Memory Lane Keepsakes on YT.  Thank you again to Tonya and the Sweet Treats Teamers for allowing me to join in this month.  If you would like to check out projects from the Sweet Treat team members see the links below.  Well, enough of my jibber-jabber; I’ll let you check out some  photos of my finished project.   Til’ next time…

Popcorn Treat Boxes

Oooh wee y'all, 
 I am cutting it close with this post.  My goal is to do one post per month in addition to the design team post.  By-the-way you still have a couple of days to participate in the Eclectic Ellapu December challenge.  The theme is Christmas-can be a gift or anything festive.    And now on to my January post.  I held my 1^st of 4 in-office meetings for my team this month.  I have 16 employees and I wanted to give them a little something that wasn’t too expensive, fun, and practical.    I found these adorable little popcorn treat boxes at Tuesday Morning.  They were perfect, they came 8 in a pack and they were $2.49 each.   I also found some perfectly matched napkins with the gold strips at Walmart (party section).    I filled each treat box with 2 packs of Orchard Valley  snacks packs, Jolly Rancher Hard Candies, Soft Peppermints, a small Hand Sanitizer, and the individual packs of Kleenex.   I put each one in the large Celebrate-It Clear Treat bags.  I made the rosette using the Tim Holtz die, 2 Stampin’ UP! Circle punches, some WE R Memory Keepers ACC 3x5 Pad Metal Foil cardstock (one of the circles and the flag pennant), and some black and white straws from Walmart (party section).  I used an old JustRite Cling stamp set called Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty for the greeting and finished the treats boxes off with some black balloon ribbon.   I did 16 altogether it took me 7 hours in total over 2 days.  I prepped the boxes and rosettes the day before and everything else I did the next day.

Anything with a Bow!

Wow! where did October go!!!  

Just a real quick post to let you know about the November brag challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu and to make an announcement, be sure to read to the end!  The pink team's November challenge theme is "Anything with a Bow".  The purple team's theme is "Let Sparks Fly".  For my project, I chose to make some cute little party favor bags and boxes.  They are just cute, cute, cute with or without a bow.   To make these lovely little bags and boxes, I used some Stampin' UP! products,  like the scallop punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, some (retired) Designer Series Paper, some Old Olive grosgrain ribbon (retired), and some of the 1/8" gold with white trim ribbon (still available).  I followed the You Tube tutorial from Dannie Graves of Dannie's Designs for the for the largest bag.  For the "4 You" bag you can find the You Tube tutorial on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts and for the little wedding favor box you can find it on You Tube Sam Donald's tutorial.   I use to sell Stampin' UP! years ago.  I took a lengthy break and I've missed so much that I decided to join Team Stampin' UP! again.   I am in the process of setting up my website and getting things in place, so watch for the up coming announcements.

Well, I better stop here, my post is already a bit tardy.  I hope you will stop by the challenge blog and join in!  Til' next time
