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.

Stop over at the ATS Challenge blog to see more inspiration from the team. You'll have two weeks to link up and a chance at winning 3 CC Design Rubber Stamps!! You must follow the simple rules to be eligible. While you're there, check out the ATS blog to see all the new release for the month. Plenty of cuteness to see!

Have a fantastic week! ;D

Happy Day After Christmas!! and so how many of you are braving the mall again? or are you ready to get back to crafting? Well here's a quick reminder that All That Scraps Challenge is in its second week of their current challenge... Anything Goes!!!

Sweet November Evie was on one of my gift card envelope this year. She colored on textured cardstock with some stickles to make her sparkle! A small tag from a Recollection punch stamped with an Amy R's Winter sentiment. Again using up my xmas paper scraps, fussy cut Evie and popped her on!

Head over to the All That Scraps Challenge blog to check out what my teammates have to share... all so sweet!

All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge

Hi all! Welcome to week two of the current ATS' Wednesday Challenge... ANYTHING BUT A CARD! I made a couple of tags using SN Baby Stocking Girl and Boy...

These are really quick and fun to make. Tags were cut with a Sizzix die cut, used some scraps from the holiday pile, stamped the sentiment on more scraps and cut them into a fishtail banner, added the ribbons on top, and popped on the colored image! Now I have a couple more to add to my "stash" of holiday tags! I have about ummm... 4?!! LOL!

Well I hope you can find some time and join us at ATS and visit the blog for more ideas and inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by....
Have a fantastic day! ;D

More treats...

Happy Wednesday!! It's All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge reminder today, and I'm still in the mood for more Halloween treats!

Using two images from Sweet November Pumpkin Fun set (click here to see the third),  I made some real simple, quick and easy treat holders. But as you can see, it wasn't that easy for me on the embossing! LOL! It didn't turn out too clean, but used them anyways cause they are too cute to throw out! Guess I need more practice on embossing! and maybe watch a quick "how-to" video would help! hahaa! 

here's a pic of the back and little peek from the side...

This little candy tote was pretty easy to make. Just a few pieces of scrap paper, punch two sets of holes (or you can use eyelets), and add a piece of twine. The candy can slip in and out pretty easily, so add a small glue dot to secure it.

Take a moment to visit the ATS Challenge blog to see more inspiration from the team, and if you haven't checked out the new October release from ATS! and you still have until Oct. 9th to play along our "Anything Goes" Challenge!!

Have a wonderful week! ;D
