Love Paper Sack Mini Album

February 10, 2014

Hi everyone!!! I have been sooooo busy creating cards, swaps and design team projects and I just haven’t got around to blogging but I’m now back to share one of my projects I created for a swap I was in on Facebook. We had to altered a 300 count matchbox into a Valentine’s Day theme and add handmade goodies inside of it. Well, I’m going to share the mini album I created using five 4″x6″ paper sacks. I did cut the tops down a little so the mini would fit into the matchbox. I used Baker’s twine to bind it together.

I used bits and pieces of leftover cardstock, scrapbook paper, lace, stickers and images to put this adorable mini together.

I also put together a package of die cuts, stickers, ribbon and dew drops so my swap partner, Norma, could add more to the pages if she wanted to.

Also I shared this mini and matchbox on Maya Roads Facebook page for a challenge they had going on…there is a chance to win a prize package. I have my fingers and toes crossed that I win something. 🙂
Come back Tuesday (treat holder) and Wednesday (matchbox) to see what I created.
Thanks for stopping by, hope your Monday is awesome and enjoy creating!!!

Not so Scary Witch Treat Bags

September 7, 2013

Hi everyone! I have been on a Halloween kick this past week and I want share a couple treat/goodie bags I created. I purchased these little Chevron paper sacks, along with a few more different styles, from the Pick Your Plum website. They are the perfect size for treats or you might can even use them for pockets in scrapbooking too.

I used glimmer mist on the doilies. I also used the Halloween Transylvania paper collection from the Robin’s Nest which is 20% off this month. Such a wide selection of two sided cardstock!!! 🙂

Also I used some super cute Halloween images from the Cameo Shoppe. I resized these 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ images on my computer to a smaller size version so they would fit on the sacks.
