September 30 is the last day to enter my giveaway.  Click here to find out how to enter. As mentioned in my last post, I had a great time paper crafting with my friend Pamela last Saturday.  These bags are not related (though they did go to 2 members of the same family), but I decided to post them together.  How many bags can one person see anyway? The first bag held a little treat for my friend Kathy.  It coordinates perfectly with the card that I made for her and posted earlier.  I used the same papers.  (BTW - I found out that the swirly teal paper was from My Little Shoebox). I started with the same papers used on the card.  I then added a black doily and a white one from the Owl and Thistle Etsy shop.  More Prima "Say it with pearls" bling added a special touch.  I then used the dress form stamp from the My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2 "Blush" stamp set and stamped it in Ranger Archival black ink on PTI Vintage Cream card stock....

For my current giveaway click:  Take Time to Enjoy the Little Things Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I am so excited to show you this project.  Why?  Because I waited for this ATC drawer for quite awhile.  It is made by 7 Gypsies and is beautiful.  In fact, if I hadn't seen a picture of the one altered on the cover, I would have left it plain.  Yes, it's that pretty.  However, once I saw how pretty the altered box on the package was, I knew I had to grab some 3 Girl Jam ribbon and get to work! I used the following products: 7 Gypsies ATC Library Drawer 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon - Witch's Brew K & Company paper - Scraps from my stash Prima - flowers and charm Here is a picture of the box with some of the ATC's I've made.  I can't wait to start filling it with other ATC's I receive.  For full details on how I altered this, please watch the video. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today...

For my current giveaway, click  here. Here is my card for the 3rd challenge at the Cropped Event.   I'll come back later tonight and add all the details.  Check back soon. So the challenge was to use the color teal and 7 circles.  This was one I could do.  I headed to the Mystery Box from the Cropped Event and found this gorgeous swirl paper as well as the teal paper.  I can't remember the name of the swirl paper (and I'm 4 hours away from home), but I know that it is double sided and said something about "My Fair Lady" on the other side with cameos.  I grabbed my circle punches and believe that I used the 5/8", 1/2", 1", and 2" one to cut my circles.  I then grabbed my favorite card base card stock - Vintage Cream from PaperTrey Inc. and we were ready. Here's what all you need: 4 1/4" X 11" card base - Vintage Cream from PTI teal mats X2 - 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" teal swirly mats X2 - 4" X 5 1/4" My M...
