Sweet Esther

Hello everyone! All That Scraps has a new challenge today... Paper Piecing!! I don't do this often, mainly because I tend to not pick the right paper to use. Well here's my take on it this time...

Using the newly released Sweet November Esther, this little tag can be used for any occasion. She's colored with Copics and dressed with Basic Grey's Hello Luscious. Sizzix tag diecut is a pink cardstock from DCWV, and sentiment is from Hero Arts Friendship Message set.

Valentine Treats

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post. I've had a change in my work schedule, so less time for me to craft! {very sad} :(  I finally got to finish my ATS Challenge reminder project...

Isn't he cute? Cupid Mickey is from the ATS December release, and you can find him at the ATS store! Here are a couple of other views of the treat box...

It can hold a few treats inside, and the black flap tucks into the back of the box. The front has a Tiny Tag from Papertrey Ink with a hand written message. Found  a piece of scrap for the backside to hold down the flap.

Head over to the All That Scraps Challenge blog to see more amazing creations. You have another week to link up and play along. There's a small change in the rules, so be sure to check out the details here. The prize for this challenge is THREE CC Designs Rubber Stamps!!

Now, I have something to share with you all! Do you have trouble threading twine through tiny holes? It was so frustrating for me...  keep having to cut off the frayed tip... needles with eyes that are too big... took FOREVER to get it through!! I finally did a search online for some help... and guess what I found...

a floss threader! it's the perfect tool to thread twine (or any string) through the tiniest hole!! so smooth and simple! can't wait to use it for buttons!!
