Happy Thanksgiving!

Sending out my warmest wishes for a happy Thanksgiving because today it will be 80 degrees! Yeah! Love running the air conditioner in November. My warmest wishes also include a yummy harvest snack called a "Blessing Mix", filled with all kinds of sweet, salty and crunchy treats.

I packed them in a cello bag then created a "sleeve" to wrap it in. The sleeve is made from one 12 x 12 inch designer paper, cut in half.

Then I glued the two long ends together to make a 6" x 24" strip. Wrapped that around the bag, stapling at the top. Then made a topper and attached with super sticky tape.

Hope my friends enjoy it!

Gobble, Gobble.

Easel Card

Today's card is a birthday card for my lovely mother-in-law.

I have wanted to make one of these for a long time. Very fun and easy!

It's an easel card meant to be displayed.

Under the front is a blank spot to write a personal message.

Enjoy!

Yee-Hawww!

Today's card was inspired by my nephew Wesley. He is part Samoan, part cowboy and ALL boy.

His mom, my cute sis (Hi Jen!!!) bribed, I mean, rewarded him for something terrific he did and his prize was a cowboy belt with shiny buckle. I think I'll have to save one of these for his next birthday.

Yee Haw!

Sweet Treats Box

I know....it's been a month, and I was doing so well. Then came October. It's always crazy. But here is something new and darling! A sweet treat box filled with chocolates, of course. I made this as a thank you to a friend who helped judge a photography contest at the elementary school. She did it at the last minute, being 8 months pregnant and I am sooo grateful!

I C.A.S.E.d the idea from Cosmo Cricket blog (p.s. I love their paper...can't find it anywhere in the valley...stupid stores closing all over town!)

The box is made from 1 sheet of 12 x 12 two-sided designer paper. How cool is that!

I made a 6 inch topper, folded in half, and added a scallop edge.

Look at those Reese's peanut butter cups all snuggled inside that cute little box.

It's a good think I don't like those! HAhaaa!

Enjoy:}
