Here is a gift bag and notebook that I altered for my niece for her birthday.  I also made this little 3×3 card.  The bag is a lunch bag that I cut down with my cutterpede scallop edged blade.  I also stamped the tissue paper with ColorBox chalk rouge ink and the castle stamp.  The images are all by imaginisce- fairest of them all collection-carriage, crown and castle.  I used Stazon jet black ink.  The little images on the altered notebook along with the letters are from EK Success- DSP001 Princess ABC (Disney).  Ribbon is from the Paper Studio.  Rhinestones are by Queen & Co.

Well, things didn’t go as planned.  I only got one card made yesterday.  It’s a birthday card for a co-worker whose birthday was this weekend.  I had lost my mojo and I think it’s because I have been still using my summer colored papers.  When I was digging in my stash and came across these, I started getting it back!  This sketch was from last weeks 2sketches for you #36.  I am very happy with the way this card turned out.   Thanks for looking.

Supplies:  cs was from a pack that was in my stash…came from Michael’s.  Image is $1.00 set from studio g, pp was in the stash and it’s from We R memory makers- country flowers, twine from Papertrey Ink, button was in my stash, ink is Colorbox petal point alchemy.  I used my 1 3/4 circle punch and 2 5/16 scallop punch.

Here is a card I made in honor of National Card Making Day.  We have been busy around here today so my plans for doing nothing but making cards was scratched.  But…I plan on doing some card making tomorrow.  I am hoping to complete all four challenges over at Nichole’s blog (Capture the Moment on my side bar) with Papertrey Ink. The sketch is from Caardvarks Saturday Sketchfest sketch found here  http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html.    I will have to list all the supplies when I get back tonight.  I wanted to share at least on card today so here it is.

Supplies: pp paper is spooky dots from the Paper Studio,  cs is Trick or Treat fashion pack colors from the Paper company, orange grosgrain ribbon is from Offray, Colorbox petal black ink, stamps are studio g ($1.00 stamps).  Buttons were in my stash…I pick them up in packs at the local fabric stores and Wal-Mart in their fabric section.

So I worked on these little gifts until midnight.  I had fun with them.  There is one more project I want to do but my creative flow was slowing down.  Maybe tonight I will get to it!  The first one up is for my little sister.  She is in town today for work and I will see her tonight for Girls’ Night Out…love these nights and they only come around once a month.  Anyway, this project is over at Stamps and Smiles for project Tuesday http://sasprojecttuesday.blogspot.com/.  I used pp from the Paper Studio (currently at HL), solid paper is from the paper pack Trick or Treat by The paper company.  Black grosgrain ribbon was in my stash and the BOO! ribbon I just picked up at HL and it says Halloween crafts on it and is made by HL????  The ghosts and goblins stamp is by katie & co. for studio g.  The jar is filled with graham cracker crumbs, ghost peeps and Halloween colored m&m’s.  The baking directions are glued onto the bottom of the jar as I did not want a tag hanging from the jar.  Make sure to head over t Project Tuesday for all the directions on this fun little number.

Up next is a little comfort cup for my principal.  SHe was out sick yesterday and I thought she could use a little cheering up.  The cup is from The Dollar Tree.  I filled it with travel Kleenex, hand sanitizer, chapstick, a little chocolate and some honey vanilla chamomile tea.  The card is 3×3.  The images are all from Papertrey Ink, on my couch set.  The ribbon was in my stash (I know it came from the $1 bins at Michael’s awhile ago).  The button is from bag o’ buttons from the paper studio.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Thursday.  It looks like it’s going to be wet and cold here today.
