NEW BUILD A BEAR TOTE BAGS!

Are these not the cutest bags ever? I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the NEW Build A Bear Die Cuts, Stamps and Papers that Stampin' Up! has come out with! I am reliving my childhood over in the stamp room cranking out lots of fun little bears! :)

I thought these would make the cutest Trick or Treat loot bags! And I want your kids to have one, too! :)

Join me to make a tote bag, your choice of Halloween Costume and customization. If the name is longer than 5 letters we will use a smaller alphabet die cut.

Here is a close up of the bears in their cute little Halloween Costumes:As a side note, I am working on a Mommy and Me class that you can bring the kids to. But this particular project involves hot iron, and lots of little pieces that are just too complicated for little fingers. Stay tuned though, because I will have a new class in the next week or so that the kids will love. :)

Here is the Class info:

DATE: Sunday, October 18th

TIME: 2:00 PM

COST: $15.00

Space limited to 6 participants. Email me to save your space. Prepayment is required.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day,

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND - RIBBON SHARES!

I am so excited about the new ribbons in the catalog! As you know, ribbon is one of my favorite accessories and I think I put it on almost everyone of my cards!

Adorable Gift Card Holder

Here is an easy-peasy lemon-squeezy gift card holder for the holidays (or any day, actually).

We made this at a workshop last week. Not only is it cute, but it's so simple to make that you could crank these out in no time at all.

Start with an 8.5" x 5.5" piece of cardstock (the same size for a card) and score at 2" and 6". Fold up the bottom flap, adhere the sides with Sticky Strip to make the inside pocket for the gift card and simply decorate the front. I added a piece of Whisper White to the top inside flap to stamp a greeting on and a place to sign it.

The best part is that it fits in the standard size envelopes that you use for cards. :) This one uses Real Red Cardstock, a piece of Merry Moments Designer Series Paper, the Jolliest Time of the Year Stamp Set and the new gorgeous Real Red Polka Dot Ribbon. I love this ribbon so much...it's such amazing quality. It was really, really hard for me to cut it up and use it. LOL. I know, I have issues. I tend to hoard pretty paper and pretty ribbon. ;-)

Give it a try and make a few of these for your next holiday or birthday. Give a shout if you have any questions!

Have a great day,

Tons of Tags

For my workshop hostesses this month, I made these adorable pouches filled with Holiday Gift Tags. It features the Hostess Set, Christmas Punch. I love that all the images in this set coordinate with Stampin' Up! punches. These tags were simple and fun to make.

Now for the pouch itself, I used a 6x6 scrapbook page protector, and cut off the side with the holes for the scrapbook. I lined the inside with our Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper, and made a backing and the flap out of Soft Suede Cardstock. A velcro fastner keeps it all closed. I added a touch of Vanilla taffeta ribbon and a tag...and viola! a cute little gift!

Here is picture of the flap opened up:

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a grear day,

Scrapbook Club Sneak Peek

Monday evening is my monthly Scrapbook Club meeting where we get to make two 12x12 layouts. It's a lot of fun and it's great to actually have scheduled time to get some pages completed! We are all so busy that it seems like we never have time to get it done (myself included!).

Here is one of the Halloween Pages we are making tomorrow.... It's using our new Cast A Spell Desginer Series Paper and the House of Haunts Stamp Set.

The title "BOO" was made using the Big Shot. We are going to cut the letters out of chipboard (love that the BIG SHOT cuts over 50 different types of material!) and use some heat and stick powder along with our SuperFine Glitter in purple to make the title. It's very sparkly in person!

The tag on the left is heat embossed in Basic Black on Glossy White Cardstock, and then we used some sponges to apply the color. Such fun techniques!

I still have to get pictures on the 2nd page, but I will share the completed layout when it's all finished! :-)

Happy Sunday everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

My Digital Studio

Oh, my! I don't know where to start!

I received my copy of Stampin' Up!'s paper crafting software, My Digital Studio, today. To call is a digital scrapbooking program would be a grave injustice.
It not only does pages, it does albums, and greeting cards, and calendars...and you can make movies and burn DVD Videos...

Now, I just got it this afternoon...I was all giddy with excitement as my favorite man in brown delivered it. After dinner, after walking the dog, after making sure homework is done, and backpacks are ready, and kids are showered...then I sat down to play. And you may never hear from me again. LOL. It's THAT good. And I have only scratched the surface.

Here is a page I made tonight...a Halloween page. I love all the digital elements, like the torn edges, the ribbon, the punches, the stamped images...all in SU's Exclusive 48 Colors. WOW!




Be kind, as this is only my first try and I have lots more playing ahead of me! LOL. I will be stuck to this computer all weekend I think!

Look for more projects to come. I am sure I will have lots to share with you very soon! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day,
