While I was playing with the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit, I made this little Easter treat. I folded the embossed tag in half and added some strips of dsp. I filled the small cello bag with some Easter “grass” and jelly bean eggs. Easy peasy!
Have a great Friday! Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been playing with the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit lately and decided to use one of the embossed tags in the kit on a gift bag. I bought the sack at a big box store (it came with several of them packaged together), adhered some pennant flags and added some butterflies and ribbon. Super easy!
I’m having some computer woes today. I was going to place my laptop gently on the floor last night, when it kinda slipped from my hand and hit the carpeted floor a little hard (that sounds like how one of my kids might explain it :)). Now the monitor has lines running down the right side and across the bottom so that you can’t see those parts of the images on the screen. The rest of the laptop seems to be running fine, but it severely limits how I can use my laptop. I guess I’ll have to take it into the shop today. Boo! I’m typing this post on the Mac, and everything is taking me several times longer than normal because I’m not familiar with this thing.
Have a great Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

My second grader is blessed to have a great teacher this year, and her birthday was yesterday. I decorated this plain white paper sack to hold some birthday treats.
My daughter helped me fill it with little treats for her teacher — little post it notes, Dove chocolates, and a roll of stickers.
I hope you enjoy your Saturday! I’m attending a Stampin’ Up! regional event in Dallas today. I’m so excited! Stampin’ Up! always puts on such fun events, and I can’t wait to see some of my stamping friends that I don’t get to see often enough. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you receive some special Valentine’s treat today, whether it be chocolate, flowers, a sweet card, or to just hear the words, “I love you.”
Here are the treats I made for my children, husband, and a favorite teacher.
I didn’t want to put too much effort into them, as I know my children will tear into them without spending much time examining the packaging. However, I still wanted them to be special.
I used some glassine bags that I had on hand. And what’s inside the bags, you might be asking? Well, I think the title of my post gave it away, but I put heart-shaped brownies inside.
Hmmm… they don’t look too appetizing in this picture, but they really are good. I think I need to practice my photography of food. I’m not very experienced at that. 🙂
I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day! Thanks for stopping by!

Paper: Very Vanilla, More Amore Specialty dsp

Here’s a simple little treat that would make your Valentine quite happy — who wouldn’t love to get some chocolate? And when it’s wrapped in a pretty little package, it tastes even better, right? 🙂
To make the topper, I just cut a piece of Pool Party card stock with one of the Labels Collection framelits, and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I then folded it in half and added a couple of embellishments.
Enjoy your Wednesday, and may it include a little chocolate treat! Thanks for stopping by!

I have a Fall banner and a Christmas banner which I hang over the fireplace every year. I’m always a little sad when I have to take the Christmas one down because I think my mantle looks so bare. Never mind that it’s made even barer because all of the Christmas decorations are gone. I also have a Spring banner, but it’s too early for that right now, so I was determined to make a Valentines banner. Valentines Day is extra special in our house because my older daughter is a Valentines baby. I didn’t have a lot of time to spend on making a banner though, so I needed to keep it pretty simple. Here is what I ended up with:
I made each panel the same for simplicity’s sake.
I just fed each panel through my sewing machine to connect all of the panels (of course the one I photographed has a crooked row of stitching ;)). That makes it easy to store for future use and it makes it easy to hang.
I used the largest sized pennant from the Perfect Pennant Bigz die. The hearts are from the Hearts-a-Flutter framelits, and the buttons are from the Sale-a-Bration Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button pack, which will be available January 22nd.
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

I wanted to make some little Christmas treat sacks in which I could put some Christmas cookies for little gifts for my kids’ teachers. The Fancy Favor die is such a time saver when it comes to making things like this! It makes these cute little sacks in no time. I added some of the scalloped tulle ribbon from the holiday catalog and a little red jingle bell to tie it up. I attached a Snow Festival Designer Printed tag after stamping the greeting. I can write a quick message on the back.
Now, to just get the cookies made this weekend! There’s a lot on my list to do this weekend! But it’s all good!
Enjoy your Saturday! Thanks for stopping by!

Here are a couple of Christmas tags for you that don’t require much stamping, but just a few cranks of your Big Shot. I used the Northern Flurry embossing folder on these tags, and it’s currently 25% off during the Online Extravaganza. I’m not a good photographer, so you can’t really tell, but I used a sponge dauber to apply some of the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint directly onto the embossed images. They look so pretty in real life.

So did you get all your Christmas shopping done yesterday? Ready to start gift wrapping? If so, I have a box all ready to go for you today. Unfortunately, this little box is empty, as I didn’t get any shopping done yesterday. I’d rather do it online and avoid the crowds. Plus, shopping on Black Friday requires organization — and I’m not that organized.
These cute little boxes are 25% off during Online Extravaganza. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should. Here’s a view of one of the sides of the box. I just stamped directly on the box sides.
Have a great Saturday! Thanks for stopping by!
