Little Treats Bundle ~

Greetings Everyone,
I received my Stampin’ Up! order today and couldn’t wait to get in my craft room and start creating. 
When I saw this darling and versatile “Little Treats” Bundle in the Holiday Catalog I knew I had to have it in my collection.
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=12p5PH1E7czx8sLLlP8BhumBroodt-Lmihttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1JHIf3YJw3LcpmYYD1LXBGpmxfEX22AtP
It’s soooo adorable and the photos above would be perfect as a favor at Thanksgiving for your guests or maybe coworkers or bible study friends.
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=11Yxhg6QCah50lFmpV1Wn7rQXZrpJLB-fhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=11F608o8nYmAZ4_j5EmgzTSKjWj5JVq30
My Christmas Treat is filled with Dove Chocolates and I placed two inside but definitely have room for a third. I also used the Plaid Tidings 6x6” Designrt Series Paper item #153527 also in the Holuday Catalog. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Qo5QNHB6RmIrmC700Y7UMRxiOQ-zQ3lDhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1_kI3UgV4dRlmmNOSDoyPlicZhvif1_d0
Lastly for my Halloween 🎃 Treat Holder I opened the sides a bit by adjusting the inside portion so it could hold a Fun Size M&M pouch.
I had so much fun creating with this bundle and I plan on making lots more quick and easy projects with it. 
Have a blessed day,

An Apple 🍎 A Day...

Happy Friday Crafty Friends,
I hope you are all well and staying healthy ~ Friday means finishing up the house cleaning day but first I had to create this really sweet Apple 🍎 Card and Treat Holder as a thank you gift for a sweet friend who placed her Stampin’ Up! order on my shopping page!
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1dNV1QdwoP3I-X-6A3Cu4Tqu6dWMZj6wY
I am excited for fall and being that she is a retired school teacher this Harvest Hellos #150581 page 89 of the Annual Idea Book and Catalog was the perfect choice. 
There is also a matching punch available on page 167 it’s the Apple Builder Punch # 150663.
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=13m0OZMMTzGhkE068nqQuY96fst0rw67p
Clean and simple projects are just the ticket for this crafty gal and the little Apple holder has two Hershey Chocolates wrapped in the same matching plaid designer series paper. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1yL-9mebrxqkEkUcpdnf4hNkMytdh6Epy
Have a terrific weekend, stay cool and get your craftiness on ~

Scrapbooking Fun!

Hi there friends,
Today I am scrapbooking and reminiscing about our sweet old girl Maggie. She passed over the rainbow bridge a couple years ago but it’s bittersweet to see her happy and enjoying the outdoors.

Sorry it’s sideways, grrrrrrr! 
Do you create pages featuring your pets?

We have many pages in our family album of all our fur babies because they are FAMILY!

I promise it will help you feel so much better and put a spring in your step.
Reach out to me and I can help you find your perfect shade of everything  ~

Ep.#657 ~ Paper Sunday Journal | Review

Hi Paper Loving Friends,
I've got a different kind of video for you today - I was contacted by Paper Sunday which is a family-owned, christian paper company to check out their products and to share my thoughts with all of you!
They have many different covers available as well as calendars for men and teens.
What makes these really neat is that they are personalized with the recipients name and it is written into each piece of scripture printed on each page.
I chose this really pretty journal and I am excited to use it to make a Reading Log!
Books are my jam and I really needed a way to list out and remember what books I've read. I will share my pages once I get some completed...



Make sure to visit their online store and I will post my affiliate link as soon as I recieve it so you can save a little should you like to place an order. These would make lovely Mother's Day gifts and who doesn't love personalized goodies?!?

Hugs,
