Halloween treats

My second post of the day... Yes it is :)

I wanted to get these uploaded so I could share some inspiration for Halloween that is coming in just over a month!

Here are my little treat bags

 The little ghost is from Create A Critter 2
There was a few images available to cut free for a week on CCR, I took advantage & get the cute guys ready for my bags!

Happy Halloween was heat embossed with a stamp from the $1.50 bin at Michaels from last year

The twine is all from Trendy Twine - 3 of the new colors, all part of the 'licorice' line

Lime licorice

Grape licorice

Grey licorice

The chevron print bags I bought from Pick your Plum 

I was able to fit 3 Halloween sized treats in each bag!

My baby girl's 9th Birthday!

Saturday we spent the day preparing for our big party....

We went with a 'sweet shop' theme.... 

Here are the highlights....

 My 12 year old drew the gumball machine & I punched a whole lot of 1" circles to make the gumballs.

 Here is the craft we made... gumball machines - I got the idea from pinterest

 Here is the cute shirt I made her for her party :)

 Her guests...

 A little thank you...

 And some more candy....

We had an amazing time!!

Till next time...

Birthday Party Invites

About a week ago I thought I should start getting birthday stuff in the making. First on the list, invitations!

After a little time of thinking about what I was going to do, I began the process. I started with the banner, added some blueberry Trendy Twine. I though a 9 stamp would be a great touch, so on went the 9 from Pink By Design. I cut the edge with a scalloped border punch, added 3 different washi tape from Pick Your Plum. I finished it off with some glittered 'You're Invited'.

 The inside I stamped from 'party time' in Melon Mambo - Stampin' Up! & added little lollipops from Mickey & Friends Cricut Cart.

Hope you like it as much as I do. 

I can't wait for my little girl to see then tomorrow & let me know if she loves them - I know she will :)

We still have a lot of planning to do & some serious shopping to get all of our craft stuff. I'll let you try & figure out what her theme is......

Till next time - J

Christmas Tags

This weekend I thought I should get a jump on some Christmas crafting. I had told my step mom at Christmas last year that I would make her some tags for gifts. Both of my sisters & I made our own & they were a big hit, everyone loved them.

I decided to pull out my stamps & get to work. I cut the tags from TBBM in the CCR to get many tags out of a 12 x 12 sheet of paper. I cut the first ones & then made smaller tags too. Here they are...

I used some stamps from the cheap bin @ Michael's

Pink By Design - Goodie label die & Goodie labelstamps, Christmas wishes 

Pick Your Plum - summer twine

Trendy Twine - Candy Cane twine

Cuttle bug - snaowflakes folder

Martha Stewart Glitter glue

I ended up making almost 70 tags in total. I will be giving some to my step mom & will put some in the mail to send to my M-I-L... I'm sure she'll love to get some happy mail :)

Then of course I will keep a few for myself to use!

Till next time, J

PBD Challenge #9 - Buttons

I wanted to create something fun this time - without paper, that almost worked until it came time to stamp. I bought some cute wood tags from Pick your Plum - They are super cute & I want to make lots of Christmas tags this year, but the ink I have bleeds into the wood & looks terrible. If you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know - I'd really appreciate it! 

So here is my project...

I used Stampin Up! buttons & made a little Christmas tree.

This is the back side - I covered it in paper & inked & stamped in Wasabi - my favorite Stampin Up! green!

The twine is a combo of Twisted Lime -  & Red is from Pick Your Plum

The stamps are from PBD, of course & are Christmas Wishes!

Let's see what #10 will bring!
