Big girl Halloween goodie bags.

Yay, it's Friday!!!  Even though this was a short week for me, yesterday just drug on forever!  So happy it's Friday :)

The other day I shared the mini goodie bags I made for Landry's class.  Since Abie is in middle school this year, and they don't have class parties and I would make her way un-cool if I sent in treats for everyone, I asked her if it would be okay if I made a couple of treat bags for her close friends.  She said yes!!

Here's what I came up with.

I started out with the bigger black polka dotted bags.  I sure wish I could remember where I found them, because I'm really loving them and can see using them a lot!  I added a bit of Halloween washi, some Martha Stewart Halloween doilies, that I've been hoarding, and then finished them off with some fun Authentique patterned paper.  I love how these turned out and can't wait to fill them with yummy Halloween goodies for Abie's friends!

Thanks for the visit today and I hope you have a beautiful Friday!!  Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you all soon!!

Polka dot gift card holder.

I'm happy to say I slept great last night!! Feeling refreshed today and so glad it's already Tuesday too!

Abie had a birthday party on Sunday afternoon, as usual, I put off making the gift card holder until the last minute. The friend is not a "Kraft bag" kind of friend. So I dug through my stash and found these polka dot bags I bought, actually for Halloween treat bags.

I thought it turned out perfect with just a bit of washi and some sequins!

I've got bug plans this afternoon people. Unloading the dishwasher and vacuuming! Jealous, right? ;). Thanks for stopping in today and I'll see you tomorrow!!

Gift bag.

Hey guys!!  I'm posting a gift bag today that I made for Landry to take to a birthday party on Sunday.

This time I stamped directly on the bag and then added to strips of glitter.  I die cut a spiral notepad, that I embellished with a doily and the birthday girl's initial.  Then I clipped the whole card to the bag with a matching glittery clothespin.

I was super busy at the end of the week last week, which explains why I went MIA.  I probably won't be around Wednesday this week, but am hoping to be back on Thursday with a Project Life post for you guys!  I keep thinking, now that the girls are back in school I'll be getting back to regular posts, but it just hasn't fall into place yet.  It will, I know it :)

I hope you guys are doing great!  Thanks for stopping by today and I'll see you soon!  Have a beautiful Tuesday!

Birthday bag.

Good morning and happy Monday!  Did you have a nice weekend?  We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend and I just love that!

Yesterday we had a birthday party to go to and the gift of choice was a Claire's gift card.  I fixed up this brown paper bag to place the gift card in.

After I placed the gift card inside, I stapled a small tag I had decorated, to the front, that had "to" and "from" on it :)

We start puppy classes for Dirk on Tuesday night and Abie has an impromptu volleyball practice on Thursday night.  Then meet the teacher for middle school is Friday night!!  A fun, exciting week!!

Thanks for stopping in today and I'll see you guys tomorrow!  Have a beautiful Monday!

I'm so happy it's finally Thursday :)  All day yesterday I felt like it was Thursday so I'm thrilled that it's actually today, today. 

Last weekend Landry had a birthday party to go to and I lucked out that the gift she picked out for her friend fit in one of those colored gift bags you can find in the gift wrapping section.  It screamed blank canvas to me!!

I knew I wanted to use a doily, but that was the only idea I had.  I flipped through my 6x6 stacks and found that sentiment and then everything else just fell into place :) 

I spent the night last night cleaning off my desk and catching up on Project Life.  I've got a fun update next week for you, I can't wait to share!  I hope you have a fantastic Thursday and I'll be back tomorrow with another new card.  Thanks for stopping by today!
